Is Pacquiao tied to HBO?

[Thornton Melon]

The Floyd diehards are saying he is not and having the fight on Showtime is not a problem since Manny is not contracted to HBO. I have seen articles saying he is with HBO but his advisor Koncz says he is not. Is Koncz wrong or are articles wrong?

No he's not. He just fights there cause arum only does hbo. He can fight anywhere. #fightfloyd

"Our contract with Manny Pacquiao is clear. We have a contract until the end of 2014, and it provides clearly that his decisions are ours and ours alone. Manny Pacquiao will fight on HBO and HBO pay-per-view from now until as long as our contract is in effect."

HBO does not have exclusive contracts with fighters like Showtime does which is against the law. HBO however has a contract with Top Rank and that is how they have Pacquiao.

Well that is just a lie. Canelo and Golovkin are signed with HBO for multi-fight deals.
