Golden Boy signs Manny Pacquiao to a SEVEN-fight deal !!!

[Katz]

Oh yeah and aside from everything mentioned, I think 7 fights is insane. That's at least another 3 years. Although he could probably do it, by the 3rd year, he won't have his attributes that gives him an edge over opponents. That would be speed and stamina.

well its not official yet... maybe this is just a rumor.

isn't Pac retiring soon?

its not yet official according to an insider:

I just spoke with Freddie Roach a few mintutes ago, he said that the signing is NOT official HOWEVER, the fact that Oscar DelaHoya himself came to The Wild Card Gym and took Manny out to lunch yesterday, and the report from ESPN's Dan Rafael combined together,sure looks good for Pacquiao.

Will Golden Boy's people make an exception to their (reported) ban on Reyes gloves?

Just like the reported signing, the ban on the Reyes glove by GPB is also not official my friend

Dammit if that contract signing was true, GBP have the two 130 pounder title holders that Pacquiao is suppose to fight, MAB and Guzman.

Pacquiao fights MAB, GBP earns from both sides. If Pac fights Guzman, GBP also earns from both sides. And who ever wins GBP has the title holder in their roster.

Shieeeeet, that's OSCAR "the businessman" for you.

Hi pal!

I was just wondering....

Anyhow, in a subsequent post you pointed out that GBP also has Guzman and MAB.

I'd like to add, he also has Barrios and, recently, Juan Manuel Marquez.

The plot thickens, eh?

"Doin' lunch": Time-tested bizniz practice. Neat trick. That Oscar is an astute businessman! Now, if he decides, he can have in-house title fights at 130lbs...round-robin...sort of.

Edit: Thanks for the heads up BigPoppa...
