WATCH PACQUIAO VS MAYWEATHER


PACQUIAO VS MAYWEATHER - According to Bob Arum, the main things have been agreed to," Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, said in an exclusive telephone interview this morning from England, where he is training Amir Khan to defend his light-welterweight title Saturday night.

A source close to the negotiations says the most likely venues for the fight are Las Vegas or Cowboys Stadium. The purse — which could generate $150 million in pay-per-view revenue — will be split 50-50 between the fighters, according to the source, who adds that there will be a 147-pound weight limit.




"One hundred and forty seven is ok with us," said Roach, "but we're still working on some of the other stuff like the gloves. I'm sure (Mayweather) wants 10-ounce gloves. We want eight ounces. But Bob told me he'll take care of all that."

On Tuesday, Arum left Las Vegas to the Philippines to present Pacquiao with prospective terms from Mayweather's camp and Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya's company, which is acting as Mayweather's promoter. They did not meet until Thursday afternoon. When the meeting was concluded, Pacquiao called his trainer for approval.

"I thought they might want more time to promote the fight," said Roach, "but I like it when Manny is busy."





The March 13 date is just four months after the Cotto fight — a shorter period of time than the six months after Pacquiao defeated Ricky Hatton. But Pacquiao advisor Michael Koncz said it will be enough time for Pacquiao to get back in shape.

"Nobody knows his body better than Manny," he said. "If Manny feels that that's plenty of time to rest and recover, then you know, he has to do what he feels is right."


He said Pacquiao "cannot train for more than seven weeks." ... Read Full Story...

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez - September 19, 2009

Its Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez. This is a comeback fight after years Mayweather Jr. had announced his retirement. Obvious reason here is that Mayweather Jr. tried to claim back his crown as the best pound-for-pound boxer ever and so Juan Manuel Marquez will be the first to taste this comeback. Mayweather Jr. believes that he is still the king of the ring and wants to prove it once again, its not Manny Pacquiao... its still him. But Mayweather Jr. must defeat Juan Manuel Marquez first and that would be on September 19, 2009 at MGM Grand Arena.

Juan Manuel Marquez is not just one easy fighter to defeat, even Manny Pacquiao had the hard time beating this Mexican boxer. Juan Manuel Marquez will surely give Mayweather Jr. a good fight, provided his age will not affect much his speed just like what we used to see him. Orthodox stance as a weapon will be enough for Mayweather Jr.

As for Mayweather Jr., he had a wholesome record before he announced his retirement. Just as a basis for a tough fighter to beat. The question for Mayweather Jr. is that Is he still that wholesome fighter inside the ring still? After for some quiet of time being away from the ring, it is natural for people to raise such question… but the answer depend on how hard Mayweather Jr. work out on his training as a preparation for this fight. Its just like Jordan going back (1st comedback) from baseball to basketball.

The real deal here is… if you want to see a fight of the century which is “Pacquiao vs Mayweather Jr.” you must be thinking of Mayweather Jr. hopefully wins against Marquez. But if Marquez defeat Mayweather (as most people says its impossible, yet anythings possible) well what would be next then? Let’s just wait till September 19… Remember… there was still a closed deal fight between Pacquiao vs Cotto on November.
