The trusted lawyer of Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao says they haven’t yet signed the contract for the May 2 showdown against Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton in Las Vegas on May 2.
Gacal spoke to insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports while en route to the Los Angeles airport with Pacquiao for the flight back to Manila . They are scheduled to arrive on January 12 aboard a Philippine Airlines fight.
Gacal didn’t elaborate but said “everything is not yet settled. We are trying to improve the figures” indicating the Pacquiao camp is looking for a better percentage on the revenue-sharing agreement although Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told us earlier the Pacquiao people were “quote happy with the offer.”
Gacal revealed that Pacquiao was “meeting with some of his financial advisers” before taking the flight to Manila.
Pacquiao in recent years has worked to straighten out his finances to go with a changed lifestyle from his earlier wild and wooly ways and a lack of proper management of his large income from a series of world title fights and non-title bouts and individuals reportedly within his inner circle taking advantage of his kindness, generosity and forgiving nature.
