Diaz sees Pacquiao
as ticket to fame
|
|
By Ed C. Tolentino Contributor
David Diaz has been the World Boxing Council (WBC)
lightweight champion since 2006, but he readily admits that he has
not been on the receiving end of a royal treatment until he secured
a deal to defend the crown against Filipino fistic icon Manny
Pacquiao.
Diaz has been guaranteed $800,000 for his June
29 title defense against Pacquiao at the Mandalay Bay Resort and
Casino in Las Vegas. He could end up bankrolling $1 million
depending on the pay-per-view revenues the 12-round duel will
generate.
