February 26th for Pac-JMM is off

[JaNnO]

From El Nuevo Dia:

"February 26th is not only the date of Miguel Cotto's next defense against DeMarcus Corley, but also it is possible that the fight will be celebrated in Puerto Rico.

Peter Rivera, Top Rank's representative in the island, confirmed that he's looking for a venue in the island for the boxing card, which will be televised by HBO. The card included originally the fight between IBF featherweight champion, Juan Manuel Marquez against Manny Pacquiao, which allegedly had to be postponed or cancelled when an economic deal could not be made between both camps. The card was scheduled to be celebrated in Las Vegas.

If Cotto-Corley is celebrated in Puerto Rico, it is possible that WBO minimumweight champion Ivan Calderon fights in the undercard."

Regarding Trinidad (also from El Nuevo Dia):

"When Don King meets with the Trinidads on Monday, one of the hot topics they will discuss is the possibility of fighting Travis Simms.

Simms, undefeated in 24 fights and WBA jr. middleweight champion, has declared he is willing to fight Trinidad for much less than the $4 million offered to Winky Wright. He is so serious about this that his lawyer contacted José Nicolás Medina, Trinidad's lawyer.

"We told him that he had to work with Don King. But I certainly think that would be a megafight, of course it would be", said Felix Trinidad Sr."

if this is true..
i think jmm is on the losing side on this one..
the feb26 date is reserve for PAC and he'll get the same purse provided he fights a fighter acceptable to HBO..

and where will jmm dig the 750k purse he's supposed to get in fighting PAC..
i bet he won't get it by fighting the likes of Salido..

nope...remember why manny didn't sign the contract on his birthday? coz he's afraid this thing may happen (jmm backing out and getting less than the offer)...so he insisted to change the clause to "any opponent acceptable to hbo" so he can still get the same purse no matter who hbo dangles with him.
