Pacquiao-Mayweather 2 niluluto na?
CARSON, California – May usap-usapang nag-uusap sina Manny Pacquiao at Floyd Mayweather Jr. para sa isang rematch.
“These are rumors. But I heard they’ve been talking,” sabi ni trainer Freddie Roach sa mga Filipino scribes noong Martes sa kanyang Wild Card Gym sa Hollywood. “I’ve been hearing these rumors,” dagdag pa nito.
Sinabi ni British star Amir Khan na ayaw na niyang makipag-usap sa promoter ni Pacquiao na si Bob Arum matapos sabihan na gusto ng Filipino star na muling labanan si Mayweather.
Kasalukuyan pang nagpapagaling si Pacquiao ng kanyang shoulder injury subalit sinabihan si Roach na lalaban siya kapag handa na siya.
“Bob gave me four names for Manny to choose from. They’re Amir Khan, Kell Brook, Juan Manuel Marquez and Lucas Matthysse before Matthysse lost,” ani Roach. “But Manny told me he will be the one to decide whom he wants to fight.”
Inalis na ni Khan ang kanyang sarili sa listahan.
“I’m really disappointed in Manny and his team,” wika ng 28-anyos na si Khan sa The National, isang newspaper sa Abu Dhabi.
“They aren’t playing ball. All that was left to do is sign the contract. But they are stalling. I have pulled out of the negotiations. I am no longer fighting Manny Pacquiao,” wika nito.
Sinabi ni Khan, nabigo ring makalaban si Mayweather, na hahanap na lamang siya ng makakalaban at “not going to wait around for Manny like I did for Mayweather.”
Si Arum ay nasa New York para makasama si Pacquiao sa pagtanggap sa Asian Society Game Changer award sa United National Headquarters.
Kung hindi magbabago ng isip si Khan, sinabi ni Roach na konti na lamang ang opsyon ni Pacquiao at kung siya ang masusunod, mas gusto niyang maitakda ang pang-limang laban nina Pacquiao at Marquez.
“I didn’t want the fifth fight with Marquez because it’s old news,” sabi ni Roach.
“It’s the fight that can make the most money,” dagdag pa nito.
