new story for pacman and mayweather fight
Adviser: Pacquiao to fight Mayweather in March
AP - Saturday, December 5
MANILA, Philippines - Manny Pacquiao is likely to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. on March 13 after agreeing to a proposal from promoter Bob Arum on Friday.
Arum presented "what he thought was the best proposal he can bring" during a two-hour breakfast meeting with Pacquiao in Manila, said Michael Koncz, an adviser of the Philippine boxing idol.
"Manny has some additional requirements, requests, which Arum didn't think was a problem," Koncz said. "The requests of Manny were so realistic that Arum doesn't feel it's a problem and it's pretty much a done deal."
He said the contract still needs "fine tuning," declining to elaborate.
"We all believe that it will be done," he said.
In an interview with GMA television, Pacquiao said, "March 13 is OK."
"The difference between Floyd and others I have fought is that Floyd makes a lot of trash talk that should not be imitated by young people," he said.
Arum could not be reached for comment.
Koncz, who is in charge of Pacquiao's boxing promotion company in Nevada, said Pacquiao is "very comfortable" with the date.
Pacquiao is running for a congressional seat in May 2010 elections and official campaigning won't start before April.
If the bout goes ahead, it will match two men regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighters.
Boxing fans have been looking forward to a super fight between Pacquiao and the undefeated Mayweather after the Filipino champion defeated Miguel Cotto last month.
The March 13 date comes four months after the Cotto fight _ a shorter period of time than the six months after Pacquiao defeated Ricky Hatton. But Koncz said it will be enough time for Pacquiao to get back in shape.
"Nobody knows his body better than Manny," he said. "If Manny feels that that's plenty of time to rest and recover, then you know, he has to do what he feels is right."
He said Pacquiao "cannot train for more than seven weeks."
If the fight is made, there would likely be a Jan. 11 press conference in New York to announce it. The bout could be the richest ever, assuming pay-per-view projections are accurate.
Representatives of the Superdome in New Orleans and the new Dallas Cowboys' stadium have expressed interest in hosting the fight, as has the MGM Grand hotel-casino in Las Vegas, where the fighters have fought their biggest fights. There is also a proposal for a 30,000-seat temporary stadium on the Las Vegas Strip across from the Wynn resort.
Oddsmakers are already taking bets on the fight, with most making Mayweather a slight favorite.

A little too soon, but on the brighter side of things, I guess this means new MP trainers in 4 months time?

arum and koncz is all about the money.
eventhough manny thinks march 13 is ok, im still with freddie on this one. March 13 is too soon. May would've been perfect as others are saying, April isgood as well. But election is a definite distraction and hindrance.
Hopefully manny knows his body really well and is right about it.

I felt the March time frame is just right.. some players/athletes don't really want those long breaks and kill their level of fitness because of longvacation, and coming from a long vacation means long preparation/conditioning.
especially preparing for a mega fight.. you don't really want to let that boxing fitness to go off tune, not even a lil bit. i hope Roach and team Pacquiaoset their training camp on a far way remote island or a bunker so that these politicians can't come and bother them.
..and pls. no playing basketball for Manny while in training camp

i think they rushed this one.
but i also think they want to develop this match-up into a series ala pacquiao-morales.

I think mayweather's camp suggested the early match date to capitalize, since they know wapakman will be very busy

It's in Robinson's place Gensan bro..I was about to ask if there are some NT peeps who live in Gensan, so that maybe they can give us a heads-up ofwhat the store has to offer. I am curious if they sell Nike made MP apparel...
