Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight Update

Pacquiao vs. Mayweather Jr.

Fight Update: (01/10/2009) There’s an information today that I found from Bleacher Report about the negotiation transcript of Mayweather’s camp to save the fight event. Read the transcript here. You will definitely type “LOL” on your phones, chat room or boxing forums after you read this one.

(01/07/09): Bad news!!! The negotiation failed and there will be no Pacquiao vs. Mayweather. This is after the mediation session failed to resolve the differences of the two fighters. Tsk, the richest fight ever just won’t happen. I don’t know if it will in the future. If not Mayweather, who will be next? Write your reactions below regarding this fight.

(01/03/09): Good news guys! Bob Arum now said in a news that he is willing to meet with Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer next week and try if they can work out something on the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight. There’s a possibility that this Monday or within this week, Judge Weinstein, the same judge who assisted in mediation with Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions in the past, will be mediating between the two camps with Pacquiao’s lawyer and Mayweather’s party. Well, we can expect some development here and if everything goes well, Pacquiao will start his training in LA Wild Card Gym next week and expect for the mega welterweight bout to happen.

(01/01/09): Bob Arum gave up the idea of Pacquiao vs. Maweather megafight and shift to negotiating with either Yuri Foreman (WBA Super Welterweight champion) or Paul Malignaggi (former IBF Junior Welterweight Champion). On the other hand, Pacquiao file a case against the Mayweathers (Jr., Sr., Uncle Roger) in connection with their accusations against him on using performance-enhancing drugs. Its a fight not on the ring but on the court worth $75,000 fine. Tsk, what a waste!

(12/27/09): Recent news from Examiner.com said that Mayweather’s camp just back-off the USADA or Olympic style drug testing. They are expecting that this will make the fight to continue. Ah, I am really getting tired of the “push-pull” negotiations and I will just update this post when they finally ink the contract.

(12/24/09): No more Mayweather vs. Pacquiao? They are opening the possibilities of Pacquiao vs. Foreman or Malignaggi vs. Pacquiao and I don’t think it will be what the fans want. Let see what happens after the holiday.

12.23.09 – Drug Test procedure requirements of Mayweather might hinder the much anticipated Pacquiao vs. Mayweather superfight. He wants the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) test procedures instead of the usual method. This requires a blood to be taken from the fighter which Pacquiao don’t like. Tsk, it will be such a waste if this thing will got in the way.

(12/14/09): I previously said that the fight is confirmed. Bob Arum suppossedly will officially announce the fight today and it seems that it will not happen yet. Maybe this is because of the issues involving the final place to hold the fight. I am in waiting mode right now. I will just replace this update when the official announcement comes.

(12/8/09). ~~Its confirmed!~~ Pacquiao vs. Mayweather is on and set to happen on March 13, 2009. Location is still undecided but Manny Pacquiao prefer to fight at Las Vegas according to a recent interview.

“Fight Mayweather!” This is the shout of the boxing fans around the world after Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) won against Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico last November 2009. It is expected by a lot of boxing analysts and been said that there are no other qualified fighter to fight the pound for pound king, other than the number one of USA, Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0-0 25 KOs). It will be gigantic fight as two best fighters of the world will clash to prove themselves that they are the best of their worlds.

On a recent news Pacquiao and Mayweather already agreed to fight in a 50-50 split share on the $50 million up front and Bob Arum of Top Rank promotion is just tuning up everything before they officially announced the exact date and location of the upcoming fight. It was previously reported that the tentative fight date is March 13, 2010 and there are 3 locations that they are considering to hold the fight, Dallas Cowboys Stadium, MGM Grand Garden Arena and the New Orleans Superdome. On a separate report, Freddie Roach said in an interview, that he personally don’t like the date as he feels that the date is too soon for the boxer. He said that Pacquiao suffers some injuries on his previous fight and the political plans of Pacquiao will surely be distracting his training. “If they want the best of Pacquiao, it will be after the election 2010,” he added.

In my opinion, it will be much better if Pacman will be fighting after the election. In this case he will be more focus and will really be very prepared to face the undefeated Mayweather Jr. I know everyone is excited already to see them both on the ring but if we really want a good fight then we should see both of them on best shape and that is not before the election. However, it is up to them if they will pursue with the date. If in case the match will happen, we will be here to witness this much awaited fight of the year.

Later, if you want to watch this fight, there are a lot of options to do that. It is either you buy a subscription on HBO PPV (pay per view) and watch it at home on your TV or get a ticket and watch it live on the ring. But if you want to watch it online on your PC, its either you sign-up here or wait for my update on this post for links to watch it in online streaming or on SopCast.

Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. Future Match

bleuken — Thu, 28 May 2009 14:03:42 +0000

Today, Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, the crowned pound for pound king, said to the press that the next opponent that he wants to fight on the ring will be the undefeated Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather Jr. not the first rumored opponents Shane Mosley nor Miguel Cotto. He also believe that the undefeated, fast and furious defender “Pretty Boy” will win against Marquez on the Mayweather vs Marquez match this coming July 18 of the year. If in case that this will be pursued and agreed upon by the two camps, the tentative schedule for the said Pacquiao vs Mayweather match will be on October of this year.

I think Mayweather needs to win first his come back match before he can say something about this issue. He should prove to the boxing fans world wide that he is still the same “Pretty Boy” boxer that they’ve seen on his peak years. Well if this will happen in the future, I am sure PPV and tickets earnings will surely be one of the top grosser of all boxing fights in the world.

Later, I will update this blog for more news about this upcoming match.

The same bragging mouth of the last Mayweather is still dominating in his every interview today and he is not really convinced that Pacquiao is the best fighter of all time.

Other mathches include, Russia’s Matt Korobov vs. Rodrigo Aguiar and Erislandy Lara against Chris Gray.

04/08/2009. Speculations today were spread and even me is asking if this is true. Pacquiao according to a news hurt his foot in his current training. Well let see if this is true and they revealed what tactics that they will do to knock down his opponent and that is a lot of body shot. “I am so excited already!”

4/06/2009. Freddie Roach said today that Pacquiao can knock out Hatton in 9 minutes instead of the previous coach mandate to knock out him in 9 rounds which is same as the De La Hoya-Pacquiao match. Can He do it? What will be Hatton’s reaction about this? Let see guys!

03/29/2009. Arum announced his plans for Manny Pacquiao’s next fight. He’s planning to match him with Chavez, Jr. Read the details here: Pacquiao vs Chavez Jr.

03/19/2009. Pacquiao changed his media partner in the Philippines. This mean that Filipino fans can watch the Hatton vs Pacquiao match on ABS-CBN instead of GMA 7.

03/05/2009. Pacquiao is in US now for his 2 months long training. According to him this Pacquiao and Hatton match might be his last fight and he will retire after this. This might be connected to his plans for 2010 Philippine Elections.

In connection to this, he relinquished his WBC lightweight title signalling his intention of not going back to the said division. Pacquiao’s coach, Roach, spoke of knocking down Hatton on lesser number of rounds compared to what Mayweather have done to him. “Pacquiao is better than Mayweather”, Freddie Roach stated on his TV interview.

01/23/2009. Finally, There will be Pacquiao vs Hatton this May 2, 2009 after Pacquiao agreed to fight Hatton with the offer of 52-48 share to pay per view and a guaranteed take home earning of $12M. But there are stories that roaming that these agreement is mere speculations and still the match is under negotiations. Let just see what will be the official announcement of this fight. I will update you guys!

01/19/2009. Pacquiao today refused the other offer of Hatton’s camp of 50-50 or 55-45 aside from the 60-40 that he asked. Bob Arum told them that 60-40 sharing in profit is impossible to settle so Pacquiao’s camp is now ready for searching for new opponent. Sad! I thought I could see Hatton being beaten by Pacquiao or vis versa.

01/13/2009. Today, I just heard on the news that Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao’s group are discussing about the next fight of the people’s champ. After the successful fight of Pacquiao against De La Hoya, it seems that they are not stopping at all. They are still “picking for a fight” to different fighters. One of the fighter that they considered to negotiate to fight was Ricky “Hitman” Hatton, a welterweight champion from England. Actually this was the reason why Pacquiao named his new baby as “Queen Elizabeth” because he was expecting that his next fight will be with Hatton. But according to Pacman’s group they were not yet done with the deal because they were not able to agree with the “money deal.” The Pacquiao camp is asking for a 60-40 deal but Hatton’s group did not agree from this offer so the fight is still hanging and there’s no fix announcement yet. According to them, they will announced later this month if they will really fighting in the ring.

Another speculation that spreading in Las Vegas today was Pacquiao also considering to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr., an undefeated American boxer who beats Ricky Hatton on their last match. Mayweather already retired and the last time that I saw this guy on TV was on Wrestling Mania. I don’t know if he will really fight again in the ring.

As of now, there’s no really final decision yet for both camps on who will be their next opponent. How about you what do you want to be the next boxing event to watch out, will it be Pacquiao vs Hatton or Pacquiao vs May Weather? Watch out!
