Even as Rod Nazario, the business manager of IBF minimum weight champion Florante Condes prepares to promote a title defense at the Ynares Center in Antipolo sometime in November, promoter Cezar Trevino of Trevino Boxing Inc who is a partner of Bobby Bostick Promotions claims they are still in negotiations to have Condes’ next fight in La Paz, Mexico “because of prior commitments.”
However, in an email to Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today, Trevino said they were “ taking into consideration a title defense in the Philippines if not now, in the future.”
Trevino who along with US co-manager Dante Ortiz, former world champion Morris East met with Condes and Filipino co-manager Aljoe Jaro in the office of Games and Amusements Board chairman Eric Buhain said that both Aljoe Jaro and the GAB “ concluded and confirmed” that Bobby Bostick Promotions and Trevino Boxing are “in fact the promoters of Florante Condes.”
Trevino also said that it was also concluded during their two days of sometimes heated discussions that there are “binding exclusive contracts worldwide” which allow only the two US-based promotional outfits and Dante Ortiz are “the only party’s authorized to negotiate on behalf of Condes including but not limited to the Philippines.”
Nazario said Aljoe Jaro had informed him that they had agreed with the American promoters to have “one promotion done in Manila, the next abroad, alternately.”
Nazario requested us to inform Trevino and Ortiz that if they insisted on having Condes fight abroad without making his first title defense in the Philippines he will ‘Insist that I am the business manager of Condes and anything that goes regarding Condes has to be passing through me.” Nazario insisted that he is the business manager in a contract signed last year and that Ortiz was only the co-manager with Aljoe Jaro.
Nazario who maintained a low profile even after he signed a contract as business manager of Condes and super featherweight Bernabe Concepcion last year, said he didn’t want to “as much as possible get involved in this controversy” but he was forced to because of the developments. Nazario said “how could they control the fight abroad if the boxer will not leave Manila. How can they solve that if they cannot get together?”
