Eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao is all set to make his ring return under completely new promotional, management and network banner. Pacquiao is set to fight former four division world champion Adrien Broner in January early next year on Showtime PPV.
Last month, Pacquiao split with his longtime promoter Bob Arum and joined Al Haymon’s stable. He also fired his longtime trainer Freddie Roach.
The pair will fight on January. 19 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
It will be Pacquiao’s first fight since he knocked out Lucas Matthysse in Malaysia. Before that he lost a controversial decision to Jeff Horn in Brisbane, Australia.
Broner was really looking forward to the matchup and was respectful towards Pacquiao in the beginning.
