Manny Pacquiao's Advisor Talks About Mayweather Negotiations and Pacman's Future

At the Welcome To The Future Top Rank fight card in San Antonio, Texas this past weekend, KING J was live in person covering the fights which was headlined by Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Chavez Jr. defended his WBC middleweight crown against the very game Marco Antonio Rubio and co-headlined with the top pound for pound rising star sensation Nonito Donaire.

Donaire defeated former champion Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., capturing the vacant WBO super bantamweight title, further sky rocketing the Filipino Flash's stock in the sport.

After the fights in the post-fight conference, KING J was able to obtain an exclusive interview with Manny Pacquiao's top adviser Michael Koncz.

Koncz opens up on everything from the ongoing Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight negotiations revealing some insight on the details discussed directly with Floyd Mayweather and himself.

KING J also asks about what is in store for the future of Manny Pacquiao including future fights, and politics.

The following are some of the major questions asked during the exclusive interview:

KING J: "If you can comment on the whole Mayweather negotiations, obviously all the fans all the media, we don't know who to believe? Or what went on exactly?"

Michael Koncz: "First of all I have to take my hat off to Floyd. He pleasantly surprised me. He was very professional, very cordial and I was somewhat surprised so I thank him for that. We spoke about five or six times and his directions were to speak directly to him and I think we achieved a lot. We did not make the fight, he chose something else and that's fine with us and we will do something else as well on June 9th. I thought proposal we gave was very fair, the final one which was:

A 50 million dollar guarantee, and we were willing to do blood testing every/any day of the week except for the actual day of the fight, and the percentage split was 45/55 with the winner getting 55 percent. So I thought that was reasonably fair and satisfying.

His demands were for a larger amount. If he were to prevail the night of the fight then he would have got a larger amount. Based on estimates it could have been 20 to 30 million dollars more. I think we formed a relationship and if the fight can be made in the future? I don't know? I have no regrets in what I did and If I had to do it all over again then I certainly would and in the long run I think we achieved something even though the fight was not made."

KING J: "Now it seems the fact that you are now talking to Floyd directly then that is a good sign for the next rounds of negotiations for the (Pacquiao vs Mayweather) fight?"

KING J: "So It's going to be June 9th and then one more (fight) in November and then is that a wrap for Manny?"

(See the video to see what Koncz responds with.)

KING J: "There has been reports that he will focus on politics from 2013 on, would you say that is accurate?"

(See the video to see what Koncz responds with.)

KING J: "These next questions are rather personal, now you are Manny's adviser do you advise any other fights as well? Also you mentioned in previous HBO 24/7 episodes jokingly that your salary has not changed. Has is changed since then? Have you gotten a raise?"

(See the video to see what Koncz responds with.)

KING J: "But we can all assume it is a very glamorous salary tho?...The reason why I ask is cause a lot of people would switch shoes with you in a heartbeat."

(See the video to see what Koncz responds with.)

KING J: "Final question, reports have come out that Manny's less-than-spectacular recent performances were due to his leg cramps. Are you able to comment on that? Is that really the main problem why his performances in his last..."
