Promoters for the Pacquiao-Horn declined to
broadcast the projected fight saying “there is no event to be
announced" until all contracts had been signed.
Reports of having Pacquiao-Horn
is sealed had been circulating in many sports outlets for weeks.
On Wednesday, Pacquiao’s camp
announced that WBO welterweight champ will be facing Horn in Brisbane in June.
But the promoters of the said
fight, Duco Events and Top Rank Boxing aren’t yet ready to make an official announcement.
Duco Events statement:
"Until (the) process is completed, where all parties
are contractually bound, there is no event to be announced,"
"Media speculation has seen a lot of expectations
created, and then dashed in months gone by with this event."
Dotted lines aren’t signed yet. Envelops
aren’t sealed yet. But they’ve gotten at the dead end.
The fairy tale story of Pacquiao-Horn will
come in reality.
After a failed negotiation for a $38
Million contest with Amir Khan, Pacquiao's camp turned their wheel back in
Brisbane to meet unbowed Jeff Horn instead and will put Pacquiao's WBO
welterweight belt at stake.
Horn is still unknown and inexperienced boxer
while Manny Pacquiao already paved his legacy in boxing history and got a high
level of caliber.
Expect that Team Pacquiao will be having a
smooth expedition in Brisbane Australia.
But despite of being the underdog, this is
still going to be a really great match for Jeff Horn as his name will be on the
spotlight.
Facing
a global super star like Manny Pacquiao means a lot. Boogying in the same ring
with a legend is once in a lifetime experience and there’s a high chance that
Jeff Horn could sell more tickets and seats for his future fights.
But Horn still must perform. Avoid getting toyed
and put all his best. Let Pacquiao know that he’s not a kid anymore. Everyone
will be watching.
