Koncz: “Pacquiao may fight in Australia, Dubai or even in England”

According to Pacquiao’s longtime Canadian adviser Mike Koncz Manny is being lured to bring his act to Australia to face local bet Jeff Horn but is also being eyed to see action in Dubai and even in England, according to Koncz. “We are not giving up on fighting in the States,” said Koncz, who will be discussing with prospective promoters the next few days.

The point is that Koncz is looking outside the US as the pay-per-view business there appears to be on a downhill. But Koncz is not losing hope on America, where Pacquiao has fought almost exclusively since 2001.

Pacquiao himself is on his way to the Cayman Islands for business and a little bit of pleasure as his adviser negotiating his much-awaited April 22 fight. The trip to the Caribbean was formalized last November, a week after his triumphant 12-rounder with Jessie Vargas in Las Vegas.
