Pacquiao hiring Burstein!
By Dennis Principe
The battle among the splintered camp of Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao is now starting to firm up. In a long distance interview with *********.com, Pacquiao himself revealed he will have well-known American lawyer Judd Burstein in a case that will pursue the boxer's supposed Pay-Per-View (PPV) earnings in his most recent fight. The 26-year-old Pacquiao is now hotly pursuing American promoter Murad Muhammad after the latter allegedly pocketed the boxer's PPV share amounting to nearly $3-million. Pacquiao is coming off a close 12-round decision loss to Mexican great Erik Morales on March 20 in Las Vegas were about 350,000 households subscribed on its PPV telecast for nearly $45 per subscription. Pacquiao is claiming that he was gypped of about 40% of the upside revenue of the said PPV. His contract for the bout gave him a guaranteed $1.75 million. Pacquiao said that pertinent documents are now being prepared and that the case is scheduled to be filed in New York in the coming weeks.
