Koncz.
Manny Pacquiao?s adviser Michael Koncz talked to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum who was supposed to discuss the planned November 10 fight with Pacquiao on Monday but apparently did not.

Instead, Koncz told us ?I met with Bob yesterday afternoon and I will discuss my meeting with Manny today or tomorrow.?

There was no word on what they talked about and what Koncz plans to tell Pacquiao.

After having what he described as an ?excellent meeting? with Pacquiao in General Santos City during his recent visit to the Philippines, Arum told the Manila Standard that Pacquiao would definitely fight on November 10 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

But there are rumors suggesting that Pacquiao would want to skip a November fight and concentrate on reaching an agreement with Floyd Mayweather Jr for a megabuck showdown next April, prior to the May elections in the Philippines with Pacquiao planning to run for governor of Sarangani province.
