“We are working on it,” said Pacquiao adviser Mike Koncz in a phone call from General Santos City.
Top Rank chief Bob Arum had issued an ultimatum last week and a story was carried by the Manilla Bulletin, telling Pacquiao (59-6-2 with 38 KOs) to decide in 48 hours to fight Horn (16-0-1 with 11 KOs) or face the risk of not getting a fight until November.
Last time Pacquiao was in the ring was against Jessie Vargas in November last year in Las Vegas.
Arum likewise confirmed that talks are on going but there are still issues to be resolved.
“I’ll have something in a few days,” said the 85-year-old Arum from the US after Koncz’s issued his short statement.
