Public viewing for Jackson scheduled on Friday

The family of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson planned a public viewing for his fans on Friday, as announced by CNN and the celebrity news website TMZ.com. Jackson’s body will make a final journey to Neverland Ranch on Thursday with a 30-car motorcade to escort his body. Fans are clamoring that his remains be buried at the ranch and that it be transformed as a shrine similar to that of Elvis Presley in Graceland. Neverland has been in disarray since 2005 when charges were filed against Jackson for alleged child molestation. After his acquittal, Jackson has not returned to live in Neverland. The Wall Street Journal reported that Jackson drafted a will in 2002 that divided his estate between his mother, his three (3) children and one or more charities. However, the estate was reportedly on the verge of foreclosure even before Jackson’s death because of his extravagant lifestyle and numerous personal and legal problems.

The proposed November 14 fight between pound for pound boxing king Manny Pacquiao and Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is being negotiated by both camps. Pacquiao’s adviser, Manny Konez met with promoter Bob Arum and said that he was pleasantly surprised with the offer. Although Arum nor Konez would not say if the split would be 75-30 or 65-35 in Pacquiao’s favor.

Konez also said, “But it’s a negotiation, so we probably won’t accept the first offer, but we’re not far off. The talks I had with Bob were good. So I will bring Manny the offer. We’ll probably counter, but I think it will get worked out. We’re really not that far off. I can’t say for sure, though, because Manny makes that decision, but I think it looks good. This is the fight Manny says he wants.”

Arum, who is in Europe now said that, “There is no rush.” The timeline will only start once Pacquiao signs the contract. That would be the time when Arum will set up a schedule beginning with a ten-day press tour that will bring Pacquiao to the Puerto Rican Capital of San Juan, New York where there is a large concentration of Puerto Ricans, Los Angeles and possibly Mexico City.
