Arum unveiled in an appointment with ESPN, that the Filipino senator is anticipated to maintain his following bout in his home country. Pacquiao hasn't battled in the Philippines since 2006. 18 of his previous 20 battles happen to be organised in the United States, with another two organised in Macau, China. Pacquaio’s unusual sojourn faraway from the boxing capital will proceed following his Suncorp Stadium appearance, with various Manila-based casinos assumed to be putting in a bid to keep the neighborhood fight.
Pacquiao’s battle with Horn is the very first fight in 11 years which will not be on pay-per-view all over the world. The Horn fight will be displayed for free (in all places aside from Australia) on ESPN. Arum unveiled that the Manila battle will even not be on pay-per-view, presented Pacquiao’s previous battle, towards Jessie Vargas did just 250,000 purchases. This indicates Pacquiao is not anticipated to fight a big name in the welterweight division.
ESPN author Dan Rafael unveiled that Russian Konstantin Ponomarev (32-0) is getting set up for the battle, regardless of a push from arena followers to check out the icon face top challengers like Keith Thurman, Errol Spence Jr as well as Terence Crawford. There's a rematch stipulation in the agreement for Jeff Horn’s battle with Pacquiao in Brisbane, which means should Horn display a surprise upset at Suncorp Stadium, he might end up with the Philippines showdown. But it appears Top Rank as well as Team Pacquiao definitely aren’t preparing on that occurring.
