Manny Pacquiao-Lucas Matthysse on after money issues settled

The financial issue that once prevented the bout from being finalized has been resolved, Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez told ESPN on Monday.

According to the report, "the money due in an escrow account to be paid after the fight had finally come through in full" and will allow Matthysse to fly out for the fight with his team on Tuesday.

"The fight's a go. There were some bumps in the road but everything is now in order and we're excited. It's a great opportunity for Lucas," Gomez said. "This is his dream fight. It's the fight he's been talking about for five years now. Anytime you can fight a legend like Manny Pacquiao it's a win.

"The money is in place. The money was supposed to be in an escrow account in the U.S. and now everything is good. It's customary practice when you are fighting overseas to have the money in an escrow account and now the money is there. We're excited to be working with Manny and his company, MP Promotions, and commend him for putting this fight together and making sure it comes off."
