The US promoter of IBF minimum weight champion Florante Condes who arrived in Manila Wednesday with the promised check of $9,500 for the newly crowned champion met yesterday with Games and Amusements Board chairman Eric Buhain in an effort to "move forward" with the career of the hard hitting Filipino southpaw.
Cezar Trevino of Trevino Boxing Inc., met Buhain along with Condes? co-manager Dante Ortiz and former Filipino world welterweight champion Morris East. They provided the GAB chairman with documents showing that Filipino manager Aljoe Jaro signed a co-manager?s contract with Ortiz who in turn signed a promotional agreement with Trevino.
It was discovered during the GAB meeting that Aljoe Jaro was not the registered manager of Condes and according to Buhain it was his wife Alice. Buhain said he had called Aljoe Jaro and his wife to a meeting at the GAB on Monday to resolve all pending issues with Ortiz and Trevino. Buhain also instructed boxing division chief Dr. Nasser Cruz to contact Condes who was reportedly out of town to ask him to attend the meeting on Monday.
Trevino told Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today his "only concern was to make everything right" even as he pointed out that Condes? career was just starting but they were confident of his potential.
Trevino disclosed they had scheduled a non-title tune-up fight against undefeated Mexican Raul "Raito" Garcia Raido (19-01-, 14 KO?s) on September 28 in La Paz, Mexico because they wanted people "to know who he is" before hopefully scheduling a unification title fight at the Dodge Arena in Hidalgo, Texas on a fight card billed "Night of Knockouts" in November.
However, Aljoe Jaro said he was hoping that Condes could be featured on the undercard of the rematch between Filipino ring idol Manny Pacquiao and legendary Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera at the Mandalay Bay Resort Hotel and Casino on October 6.
