Pacquiao to fight Nov. 10 or before yearend: Penalosa
MANILA — Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao remains undecided whether his supposed next fight on November 10 will push through, but his friend Gerry Penalosa assured he will be fighting on that date or before the year ends.
Earlier reports said Pacquiao is thinking of foregoing with the November fight and concentrate on luring the fresh-from-prison Floyd Mayweather Jr. to face him in a rich mega-confrontation.

“Lalaban si Manny before the end of the year,” Penalosa said in a telephone interview. “Ang makakalaban na lang ang di pa sigurado. Namimili pa.”
Pacquiao is left with two choices: to fight with Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marque, or with Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto, both of whom the Filipino eight-division world champion had beaten before.
Pacquio beat Marquez twice in three meetings, while Cotto was disposed off via a 12th round knockout in a classic 2009 battle, which incidentally was the Filipino’s last stoppage triumph.
“Si Bradley, and this is based on Manny’s body language lately, could be out of the equation kasi Manny believes he won that controversial bout against Bradley convincingly and, therefore, that doesn’t give the American the right for a rematch,” Penalosa explained.
Penalosa said Bradley “still remains a poor opponent in terms of economics” as his controversial win failed to generate or paled in comparison to previous Pacquiao blockbuster bouts.
According to the former flyweight bantamweight belt-holder, if the choice is Marquez, the November 10 encounter could be at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, which Top Rank’s Bob Arum has already contracted barely days after the June 9 Pacquiao-Bradley fight.
If Pacquiao opts for Cotto, Penalosa said the showdown would be held at on December 1 New York’s Madison Square Garden, a place the Filipino boxing hero hasn’t fought yet. A factor that goes for Cotto, who has a big following in the “city that never sleeps.”
“Palagay ko yan ang sitwasyon as of now although magbabago pa yan depende sa kung ano ang mangyayari sa mga susunod na araw… Marami kasing dapat mangyari, kasama na ang eleksyon next year when Manny is running for re-election,” Penalosa said.
“In fact, Manny has scheduled a big fellowship meeting with Sarangani local politicians on Saturday in General Santos City where doon malalaman kung ano talaga ang gusto niyang takbuhin — congressman o gobernador,” he added.
The decision as to when will be Pacquio’s next fight and against whom was supposed to be known on Tuesday (US time), but Arum told the Los Angeles Times that he’s “still waiting to hear” from his ward of nearly a decade.
Arum said he remains in “conversations” with possible opponents, including Miguel Cotto, but gave little information beyond that, the L.A. Times reported.
“I can’t go blabbing to the press, who will trust me?” Arum said. “I have no date set, nothing. This is what happens when you’re dealing with a politician. Affairs of state come first.”
Pacquiao, in a report emanating from his Canadian adviser Michael Koncz last week, was supposed to move his November fight to December, precisely because of his re-election bid. It was later on disputed by Arum, who said the November 10 date will push through.
Pacquiao also came with a statement that he is foregoing his traditional Baguio City training camp and will instead spend his eight-week preparations at the Los Angeles’ Wild Card Gym owned by chief trainer Freddie Roach. (PNA)
