MANILA, Philippines – With Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s forthcoming imprisonment, Manny Pacquiao is left with no other choice but to look for other challengers for a possible fight in early 2012.
Pacquiao told ABS-CBN's correspondent Jay Dayupay it’s no longer possible for him to battle the undefeated American in early 2012 because he will be spending 3 months in prison.
“Malabo na, siyempre sentensyado na siya. At hindi lang 'yun, may mga kaso pa siya, 'yung kaso pa namin. (The fight might not push because he's already sentenced. Aside from that he is faced with cases, he still has a case with me),” said Pacquiao.
Mayweather was sentenced to 6 months in prison for a 2010 attack on the mother of his children, Josie Harris, although of his half of his jail term was suspended.
Pacquiao is thus reviewing his short list of potential opponents.
Other options include possible rematches against his Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez and Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto.
Pacquiao won a controversial majority decision in his trilogy bout against Marquez last November 12 in Las Vegas.
A fight against Timothy Bradley is also being considered.
Even after Mayweather's release, Pacquiao said the undefeated American may be confronted with new lawsuits.
“Makakalabas man siya (Mayweather), baka may panibagong kaso na naman (Even if he is released, he might have to face other cases),” he said.
