So it seems that Manny has a lot of advisers, I do hope that Pacquiao has one single point of contact, let's say Sean Gibbons, but Sean is in the US and Pacquiao is in the Philippines. So communications could be one hindrance that's why this fight is in jeopardy.
That should not be an issue. Manny just need to agree on the purse and the opponent and I guess Sean Gibbons know him enough and therefore the requirement of meeting in person is not there. BTW, Gibbons recently joked that Julio César Chávez could be a potential opponent for Manny Pacquiao. As we all know... the main issue here is that Chávez is a bit old.. He will be 59 in a couple of months.
BTW, the latest statement from Mikey Garcia is that he is still "hopeful" about a UAE fight with Manny Pacquiao.
UAE seems to be a good spot for big boxing event now, just recently, Fury announce that the Fury vs Joshua fight is gonna happen in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, so probably we will see this fight in that country as well, or maybe in Dubai, what do you think?
