The president of the Boxing Writers Jack Hirsh says pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao won the “Fighter of the Year” award by a huge margin.
Although stating he would “rather not give a vote breakdown” of how the members balloting for “Fighter of the Year” tuned out, Hirsch told us “the margin of Pacquiao’s victories were enormous” although he conceded a handful of members votes for someone else.
The respected president of the BWAA said “the decisiveness of Pacquiao’s victory for ‘Fighter of the Decade’ surprised me.”
He said Pacquiao “got more than twice as many votes as the second place finisher, Floyd Mayweather Jr.”
Hirsch said the BWAA was negotiating with Madison Square Garden to have the dinner at the famed venue on June 11 and said he was hoping they could work something out but that “right now its no better than 50-50.”
