Ring Magazine featherweight champion Manny Pacquiao’s business manager Rod Nazario and international promoter Murad Muhammad said on their arrival last Saturday morning that Pacquiao will fight as scheduled on December 4 against WBC Intercontinental champion Gairy St. Clair of Australia and then take on WBA/IBF champion Juan Manuel Marquez in a rematch in February in the US, despite what Murad referred to as “all this confusion, these innuendos and accusations” coming out in the media. They disclosed that if Pacquiao beats Marquez and Erik Morales defeats Marco Antonio Barrera in their third encounter on November 27, then Pacquiao will clash with Morales in a super showdown later next year.

Good thing Murad and Nazario named names as Pac's opponents, otherwise, I would have thought that when they spoke of a December fight, they were talking about a court battle stemming from a contract dispute: Pacman wanting OUT of their clutches! :D

This may just save Murad's contract as Pacman's promoter.
But the sure clincher would be if Murad is able to ink a Pacman-Marquez
or Pacman-Morales deal on a legitimate and REAL contract before this
year ends. .....

Yes Murad said Manny will meet JMM first the mOrales later . . . what about what Arun said? He said that it's DONE IN PRICIPLE and it's Morales and Pac on February not JMM.

Who telling the truth here? :)

With Murad and Arum, one may say, "Go reckon!" :)

Guess it's best to wait till the ink on the contracts dry up. ;) :D
