"We're close to finalizing an opponent. We have a short list. We're very close. We'll be announcing it shortly but one of the guys we were interested in was (Manny) Pacquiao. We'd love to do a Pacquiao fight but from what we hear he has a deal to fight Adrien Broner," Eric Gomez told BoxingScene.com.

"We're close to finalizing an opponent. We have a short list. We're very close. We'll be announcing it shortly but one of the guys we were interested in was (Manny) Pacquiao. We'd love to do a Pacquiao fight but from what we hear he has a deal to fight Adrien Broner," Eric Gomez told BoxingScene.com."The fact is they never called us about a Pacquiao fight, which means they should stay away from who Pacquiao's going to fight next or if he's going to fight next. It wasn't a situation where they said, 'We didn't go after Pacquiao to fight 'Canelo' because Pacquiao already has an opponent' - that's bull****," Arum said to BoxingScene.com.
"We still don't have an opponent. We're working on possible opponents but again, they are fighting Liam Smith and looking for 1,700 different excuses to justify a Liam Smith fight, which is the height of idiodicy. I mean, Liam Smith isn't even the best fighter in his family."

Although Bob says this is not true---- if this fight happens I believe Manny beats AB rather easily because AB won't or doesn't know how to move latterally when he's being pressured."We're close to finalizing an opponent.

Broner is not active enough or have enough defense to keep Pac off. Unless he lands a good right hand I don't give him a chance.
He don't deserve a fight like this anyway. He has not done anything of not but talk trashComment
