With all the hoopla immediately ensuing after the Pacquiao vs Marquez III, hopes were lit when negotiations started rolling again between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. I thought the 50/50 split would seal a May 5 superfight between the Filipino and American. Then the lights slowly dimmed after Bob Arum expressed that May 5 [...]
Who’s eluding who? I don’t see Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Manny Pacquiao’s updated hit list for 2012. Superfight or no superfight, the 8-division champ always gives a good show, well almost. Top Rank CEO and Promoter Bob Arum will fly to the Philippines to meet up with the People’s champ to discuss possible matches for [...]
Following the Pacquiao-Marquez III fight, WBC world welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. has become more confident in himself, bolder and even louder that the Filipino cannot beat him. “He must’ve seen my fight against Marquez that’s why he’s not scared of me anymore,” scoffs Manny Pacquiao. The result between the Mexican and Filipino’s third installment [...]
Is this it? The two year wait, is it really over? Will Money snap at the Pacman bait after watching Pacquiao vs Marquez III, contemplating that in his comeback, he gave Marquez a boxing lesson in defense and offense whereas Pacquiao showcased a different, weak and unconvincing performance.

Sore eye and sore loser is how I’ll describe Antonio Margarito after taking a serious beating from WBA light middleweight champ Miguel Cotto. The taller Mexican never had a chance against the smaller Puerto Rican in this grudge match. Like his moniker “El Tornado”, nowadays, Margarito is more like a loud windbag with more talk [...]
Undeniably Juan Manuel Marquez was brilliant and scary in the early rounds, the 38 year old had the strength of a horse in his legs and rabbit-like moves. He began hitting Manny Pacquiao straight in the face and at times tagging the body. His strategy was superb, his experience inside the ring for more than [...]
Fil-Am boxer Nonito Donaire Jr. retained his WBC/WBO bantamweight championship after dominating what he claimed a “boring” 12-round fight against Argentinian Omar Narvaez. The fight was completely one sided, and if Narvaez (35-1-2, 19 KOs) had accomplished anything that night, it was frustrating the 28-year old champ and 4,425 fans present in the Madison Square [...]
“Show me the money!” cried sports agent Jerry Maguire in one of the best movies in the 90′s. This fight between Amir Khan and recent victor, Floyd Mayweather Jr., if this pushes through would show a lot of money not even Rod Tidwell can stomach. This may well be the fight that could also send [...]
