It is reported that Adrien Broner has priced himself out of a fight with Manny Pacquiao.
This is a surprise to absolutely no one. Bob Arum confirmed the news in an interview with Boxing Scene. "That is correct (that Broner priced himself out). I was dealing with Al Haymon on making that fight. Al tried but Broner was asking for crazy money that nobody can afford so he is out and Manny is looking for another opponent."
The return date of Manny Pacquiao is tentatively scheduled for October 15 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"He is going to fight. I don't know what the date is. He is working with the President of the Philippines senate for an appropriate date where he can leave the Philippines for two or three weeks to prepare for the fight. In any event he is going to have to do most of his preparation in the Philippines - you know after he sits in the senate - so it's going to be an interesting thing but definitely he is looking to come back and the question is how can we arrange it," Arum stated.
