Sean Gibbons, the president of Manny Pacquiao Promotions, said the fight was set quickly stressing that Spence was the only opponent for the Filipino senator.
“Many people believe Spence is the best welterweight in the world and one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, and Pacquiao has never shied away from fighting real fights,” Gibbons said.
