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...

Mayweather Jr vs Marquez - Numero Uno


Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez, the HBO Pay-Per-View fight which known as “Number One / Numero Uno” originally was scheduled last July 18, 2009… but as Mayweather had his training, he suffered a rib injury which forced the postponement of the said match. The fight will now rescheduled in the conjunction with the Mexican Independence Day which traditionally a huge boxing weekend. FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. VS JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ

On Mayweather Jr. vs Marquez, Mayweather said “I am relieved to be cleared to fight as I was already lookings forward to getting back into the ring”, Mayweather’s opponent which he able to defeat by TKO was Engleand’s Ricky Hatton which was also beaten by Pacquiao last May 2, 2009 by TKO in 2nd round ONLY.

Pacquiao vs Cotto - The Making


As the latest news said that finalization of Pacquiao vs Cotto fight is almost done as Top Rank promoter Bob Arum tried to do… yet the specific date is not yet set but what matters is that there will be a fight for the people’s champ against Cotto.

Pacquiao who just proved himself that he is the pound for pound king would definitely be the crowd’s favourite if his match against Cotto will be materialized. Remember Pacquiao said after his triumph against Hatton.. “More or less I’ll take Mayweather Jr.” But unfortunately it was not materialized. Would this be another early finisher kind of match against Cotto? Or will just settle for a late TKO in the late round… maybe a KO in the middle of the rounds… all of these are in favor for Pacquiao. Would you think for a split or unanimous decision?

Pacquiao VS Mayweather

Pound for pound, should we say the best pound for pound boxer of all time.... That was Mayweather Jr... no doubt about that, then came his retirement well ofcourse somebody would occupy that empty throne till May 2, 2009... Manny Pacquiao did it.

Now here's the deal, so happened the retired pound for pound king is still capable of boxing (definitely) so most of us will surely like the idea of Pacquiao vs Mayweather Jr huh! This match will determine who will really the pound for pound king is.... is it the returning champ, or the reigning people's champ.

After the Pacquiao Hatton match, Pacquiao said that hopefully his next match will be against Mayweather.... because who else is worthy of fighting Pacquiao this days except Mayweather.

Sometime last week, a news had came out that Pacquiao vs Mayweather Jr fight would just become a dream that could not fulfill... because both party do not agree in terms of money. Somw also added that the schedule of fight is not favorable for Mayweather Jr. because he still has a fight from other boxer before Pacquiao.

Hushhh!!! don't loose hope... both of them are definitely healthy till next year, so it is possible that their match would take place sometime in the next year (hopefully)
