Dallas, TEXAS -- As reported last week by Rappler, former pound-for-pound king and WBA welterweight "champion in recess" Manny Pacquiao is scheduled to fight Mikey Garcia next month in Dubai, per a social media post by one of the fighting senator's most trusted advisers, Arnold Vegafria.

But nothing official has been announced since, and Garcia (40-1, 30 KOs) is kind of tired of waiting.

So on the weigh-in of today's Canelo Alvarez-Billy Joe Saunders super middleweight unification bout at the AT & T Center, where some 80,000 fans are expected to be in attendance, the 33-year old Garcia told PhilBoxing.com that he hopes to travel to the Philippines to meet his fans and work something out to make the blockbuster duel to come to fruition.
