Pacquiao's Adviser: Up To Mayweather To Sign Contract

By Steve Kim

According to Manny Pacquiao's adviser, Mike Koncz, they are all-in as it relates to the long-awaited showdown versus Floyd Mayweather.

"We kind of have a gag-agreement," Koncz told BoxingScene.com with a chuckle. "But limited information to be released to the press. We've agreed to all the terms that we've negotiated with Floyd's representatives. So now it's up to Floyd to sign the contract."

Issues such as the purse split, venue, drug testing and anything else pertinent are no longer issues according to Koncz.

"Everything has been agreed to, not one that is unresolved from our side."

This fight would take place on the coveted May 2nd date.

As for any deadline to announce this fight to start the promoting and marketing efforts, Koncz said:

"Well, I believe relatively quickly but I don't think we have to spend as much effort and time selling this fight as we do other fights. This is a fight that people have been waiting for five, six, seven years and the media's going to come to us. We don't need to go to the media."

And if this fight doesn't come to fruition (again)?

"We have some back-up plans, so there's going to be decisions made in the next week or so," said Koncz.
