Promoter Has Not Spoken to the Filipino Prizefighter or His Trainer
Promoter Don King denies media reports this week claiming he has been pursuing representation of Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao.
“I have not called nor have I spoken with Manny Pacquiao, his trainer or anyone in his camp,” King said. “I have no idea where these reports have emanated from, but I can assure everyone the media accounts are absolutely false in their entirety and have no merit whatsoever.”
Stories ran earlier this week, and have been repeated in publications and Internet Web sites around the world, making several preposterous claims directly attributed to Pacquiao’s trainer—all of which King denies. The false allegations include King phoning relentlessly and offering large amounts of money attempting to become Pacquiao’s promoter.
