Despite verbal assurances that the fight is on, other parties to the Manny Pacquiao vs Lucas Matthysse title bout on July 15 continue to fear the opposite.

Manny Pacquiao has assembled a 12-fight, 108-round bill capped by his battle against WBA welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse of Argentina at the 16,000-seat Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur on July 15 with nine protagonists staking their unbeaten records and four world titles at stake.

It’s 22 days before Manny Pacquiao’s scheduled ring return against Lucas Matthysse in Kuala Lumpur, and Pacquiao’s MP Promotions, the lead promoter, is reportedly in a fix – money-wise.

Manny Pacquiao’s fight with WBA welterweight titlist Lucas Matthysse will go on as planned on July 15 in Kuala Lumpur, despite claims that the bout is in serious jeopardy.

WBA welterweight champion Lucas Matthysse’s trainer Joel Diaz said the other day he doesn’t expect the Argentinian’s title defense against Manny Pacquiao at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur on July 15 to go the 12-round distance because both fighters won’t back down from each other.
