(Photo credit: Idris Elba) By Chris Williams: Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe took a shot at Manny Pacquiao this past week by saying that he doesn’t expect Floyd Mayweather Jr’s opponent Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KOs) to start complaining about a shoulder problem during or after their fight on September 12th on Showtime PPV from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Ellerbe says Berto has fought with a shoulder injury before in the past in his bout with Jesus Soto Karass, and he fought with the pain and didn’t complain about the injury afterwards when he was knocked out in the 12th round by Soto-Karass.
By Chris Williams: After taking Manny Pacquiao’s pelt last May and adding it to his huge list of fine pelts, boxing’s No.1 star Floyd Mayweather Jr. now finds himself being pursued by Pacquiao in a rematch that the Filipino star is hoping will take place next year in 2016. 
(Amir Khan seen here after his very, very tough fight against Marcos Maidana in 2010) By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) says WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) is scared of him because of his speed, size and punching power. 
By Chris Williams: It’s not usual for fighters to be able to come back from an injury like the one that Manny Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38 KOs) suffered last May without having to undergo many months of hard rehab training to try and get the full use of their surgically repaired shoulder back to them. This is why it seems to strange that Pacquiao is saying that his surgically repaired right rotator cuff has been healed without him even undergoing rehab. 
By Jim Dower: Former IBF/WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KOs) isn’t just planning on showing up on September 12th to just collect a payday in his fight against WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48, 26 KOs) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Well, it looks like Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) still hasn’t fully come to terms with the fact that he’s been passed over by Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0 26 KOs) for all time. I thought for a second there that Khan had officially moved on after getting the word that Mayweather was going to be fighting American Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KOs) in his final fight of his long 19-year pro career on September 12th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
By Yannis Mihanos: WBA/WBC 147lb champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) has succeeded in staying unbeaten for all his professional career from 1996 and on. On September 12, Mayweather will be fighting 31-year-old former IBF/WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KOs) on Showtime pay-per-view at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
By Christopher Jason Young: Just like most of the boxing world I’m not too thrilled about the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Andre Berto match up. I figured if this is going to Mayweather “Last Hurrah” he would go out with a bang by facing one of the young hungry up and coming fighters who happened to be undefeated or another champion in his weight class. 
By Scott Gilfoid: A fight between former eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan is possible for early 2016. Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum has already said he’s interested in making that fight now that Khan is “shooting his mouth off” about the Pacquiao clash. 
By Chris Williams: The boxing world has their mind made up pretty much about Manny Pacquiao not putting up much of an effort in his one-sided 12 round decision loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last May in the so-called “Fight of the Century” in Las Vegas, Nevada. While some boxing fans see it as a situation where Mayweather was simply too good for the aging Filipino star, other fans saw it as a case of Pacquiao just being too darned scared to fight hard.
