What we know so far is Freddie Roach has not committed himself yet to train Manny for this fight. Bob Arum is the the promoter for this fight, it will be De la Joya's Golden Boy Promotions and Manny's MP Promotion.
Earlier it known that Manny was asked to be an under card for Jeff Horns fight but Manny rejected the offer. There were also rumors that Manny can't fight in the US like in Las Vegas because he has issues with the IRS "again".
Manny Pacquiao is already retired in boxing I wonder why he is still fighting even though we know that he is already rich and already the top boxer intire the world. Well, I think the things wil go whatever it is sooner or late even manny becomes the winner or loser at least he is already the top boxer.
As far as I know Pacquiao didn't officially retired, he just say that he'll retire but look at him now he'll fight again. Yes he's damn rich so I think this isn't about money but more than its title and pride.
Without further a do, as Filipino whatever he do he's carrying the pride of a Filipino so I'll still support him until his last fight.
