Cotto hinihintay pa kung siya na ang piniling labanan ni Pacquiao
MANILA, Philippines - Bagamat si Miguel Cotto ang sinasabing pinili ni Manny Pacquiao na makalaban sa Mayo o Hunyo, hihintayin pa rin ng kampo ng Puerto Rican ang official announcement ng Top Rank Promotions.
Ito ang pahayag kahapon ni Gaby Penagaricano, ang tumatayong adviser ng 31-anyos na si Cotto, kaugnay sa bulung-bulungan kaugnay sa Pacquiao-Cotto rematch.
Sinabi ni Penagaricano na gusto muna nilang malinawan kung matutuloy ang mega-fight nina Pacquiao at Floyd Mayweather, Jr. bago sila magsalita.
“We don't know what's going to happen yet, so it's a little bit premature to say. I know things are moving quickly," wika ni Penagaricano. "But we will have to wait a little bit more to see finally what happens with Pacquiao and Mayweather. We don't know that yet. I think that it's premature to say until the time that we know what's going to happen with those two."
Maliban kay Cotto, inilapit rin ni Bob Arum ng Top Rank kay Pacquiao ang mga pangalan nina Mayweather, Juan Manuel Marquez, Lamont Peterson at Timothy Bradley, Jr.
dala ni Pacquiao ang 53-3-2 win-loss-draw ring record kasama ang 38 KOs kumpara kina Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs), Marquez (53-6-1, 39 KOs), Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KOs), Cotto (37-2-0, 30 KOs) at Bradley (28-0-0, 12 KOs).
"We don't know what's going to happen on our end until we see what happens there, so we're going to have to wait a little bit more,” sabi ni Penagaricano.
Samantala, ipinagtaka ni legendary trainer Angelo Dundee kung bakit hindi maitakda ang Pacquiao-Mayweather fight sa Mayo o Hunyo.
“That fight has been a hot topic, a fight the fans really want, for a long time, for a few years now. But the public can be fickle. Maybe some new fighter or fighters come along and catch the public interest,” babala ng 90-anyos na trainer ni boxing great Muhammad Ali.
