Eddie Hearn Offers Four Opponents for Manny Pacquiao

Hearn wants Cordina on the Cardiff show, but a Pacquiao fight would require more than finding room on the bill. Moving to 147 would mean jumping two divisions from lightweight, putting the attraction of facing Pacquiao ahead of Cordina’s current title route.

“If you need an opponent for Manny Pacquiao, we’ve got Jack Catterall, Conah Walker, Lewis Crocker and Joe Cordina,” Hearn told reporters.

“I’ve not even spoke to Joe about moving to 147. I know 140 would be fine for Joe, but dare I say, Manny’s not a massive welterweight. I don’t know. But, you know, I want Joe on the card because he’s a two-time world champion from Wales. And if he fights Abdullah Mason or Manny Pacquiao, that’s a great fight.”
