Jeff Horn v Manny Pacquiao rematch firming for November in Brisbane
A SOPHISTICATED ceiling of airconditioners could be installed over the boxing ring to counter the summer heat for the Brisbane rematch between world champ Jeff Horn and Manny Pacquiao.
The Courier-Mail understands the rematch is firming for November 12 at Suncorp Stadium, with plans being made to deal with the summer heat.
The Queensland Government is yet to sign on the dotted line, however, discussions are well advanced to hold the rematch in Brisbane.
Concerns had been raised about Brisbane’s ability to host an outdoor fight in the later months of the year, given the heat and threat of storms.
But it’s understood those factors are being taken into account, with the possibility of using airconditioners above the ring to keep the fighters cool.

Pacquiao is risking his career on the line here. If ever he lost again, I think its gonna be over. Even Roach himself said that Pacquiao is not the same and doesn't have it anymore. Last time I heard Roach saying this is when Pacquiao has beaten Dela Hoya. Building before the fight, Roach said that Dela Hoya doesn't have it and its true when the fight happened. Well Pacquiao wants to redeemed and proved that he really won the fight but too much risk. If ever he lost, he's legacy will somewhat be tainted by back to back lost to a nobody.
