Manny Pacquiao’s boxing legend has confirmed that it is in the “final stages of negotiations” for World Title Challenge, like World Boxing News, first, for the sensational challenge of the title of WBA Rolly Romero champion. His team told WBN about a special goal and the bold reason for this movement: beaten his own historical record at the age of 47.
The eight -year -old master, who turns 47 in December, confirmed groundbreaking messages during the Manila press conference 50th anniversary at Quezon City. Does not just strive to return; Aims at the final statement at the championship level.
WBN understands, however, that Pacquiao can be several days aged 47, when there will be clashes.
The chase for Romero is a calculated risk, a direct path back to the championship after the controversial return of Pacquiao in July.
Pacquiao confirms the conversations: “Negotiating and finalizing”
After pressing the clash with the sincere and unpredictable owner of the WBA, Romero title, the answer of the Philippine icon was unambiguous, confirming the news that WBN had her first information.
“We negotiate and finalize,” Pacquiao joked, signaling that the biggest obstacle is to sign the final documents for massive showdown Las Vegas.
The victory strengthened a unique place in the history of boxing, exceeding the current record, which he set as the oldest world champion in welterweight when he defeated Keith Thurman at the age of 40. His promotional team clearly justified the brave move to direct the prevailing, aggressive master.
Clear goal: history and “suspicious decision”
The longtime Pacquiao advisor and the general director of MP Promotions, Sean Gibbons, assured WBN the final justification of this decision, confirming that the controversial draw in his last fight intensified the pursuit of the status of championships.
“The goal is still the same,” said Gibbons WBN on Saturday, referring to the fight. “When Manny decided to come back, he was looking for sensible fights. He received the law – getting acquainted with clearly and correctly – by WBC to challenge the title of the world.
“Unfortunately, he appeared at the wrong end of a suspicious decision [against Mario Barrios]. But the goal remains: break your own record, create a story, get a welterweight title. He wants to be the oldest person who will do it at the age of 47. “
Błke loss of a potential historical victory against Barrio due to what the team perceives as a “suspicious decision”, clearly focused on the entire promotional machine after securing the title belt until the end of the year.
Why Romero is the “goal” of the WBA title
Choosing Romero is not accidental. While the media raised other great names, Romero understanding the WBA belt made him an outstanding candidate, as well as the fact that he has a fans affable style that guarantees an explosive competition on the market-a cluster factor after Barrios’s defense results.
Gibbons was clear for the purpose: “Romero has a WBA belt.”
Romero is a hazardous blow that Ryan Garcia defeated and is known for his uneven, outgoing approach. This collision of styles ensures that when Pacquiao tries to create a story, it will do it against a master who is not a risk of launching, providing the kind of final war, which fans and the demand of the Pay-Per-View market.
Age audit: beating the disc
For Pacquiao it is a final, final statement. The performance against Barrios proved that his fire remains; The chase of Romero and the title of WBA confirms that his only focus is to rewrite books. The eight -year legend, almost 47 years, is to create history again.
