Promoter calls Pacquiao champion texter

Dean Lonergan, promoter of Jeff Horn, has called Manny Pacquiao a world champion in texting for being busy with his mobile phone during the Battle of Brisbane press conference on Wednesday, June 28.

“I’ve attended four press conferences now with Manny Pacquiao. Not only is Manny Pacquiao an 11-time world champion, an 8-division world champion. He’s also a world champion texter because he never gets off the bloody phone,” said Lonergan as he introduced the Filipino boxer-turned-senator.

Pacquiao later clarified that he was not texting but was actually writing a speech that he was supposed to deliver during the conference.

Pacquiao, with a record of 59 wins, 6 losses, and 2 draws, will face the undefeated Horn on Sunday, July 2 at Suncorp Stadium.
