Mayweather-Pacquiao

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao PPV buys
By Ryan Dunn: There are really only a few top draws in the sport of boxing today. The Klitschko brothers can bring numbers in the heavies, Hopkins and Jones are in their twilight, but still might fool enough fans into buying that fight, and Haye seems to be on the rise. [...]

By Ryan Dunn: In case you thought I was making a prediction with part one of this two-part piece, here is the other side of the equation. I know that fans on both side of the aisle are enthusiastic about the upcoming Mayweather vs. Mosley fight, and I am among them. This is a super [...]

By Ryan Dunn: If you look up the phrase “unanimous decision” in the dictionary, you might find a picture of Floyd Mayweather smiling back at you with that million dollar grin. But Manny Pacquiao has a relentless attack, unothodox punching power, and a solid chin. I believe those three qualities could spell complexity for Mayweather [...]

By Paul Williams: I want “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs “Pacman” Manny Pacquiao! With certain reservations, Floyd wins. First and foremost, lets get a huge point out the way. I am a Pacman fan and I want this to argue both sides. I don’t believe for a second the whole drug taunts are true, [...]

By Dennis Broadhurst: When Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather square up on May 1st, I am pretty sure that Floyd will be the one who comes out on top. I think that Floyd’s defence and movement will stop Mosley from landing too much and his slick counter punching will get him the decision. However, I [...]

By Chris Williams: In reading some of the comments made by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, it seems like it might be a better idea for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to look in another direction for a fight rather than pursuing a fight with Manny Pacquiao.

By Esteban Garduno: Freddie Roach seems to be conflicted about wanting Manny Pacquiao to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. On one hand, Roach can’t stop talking about how much he wants Pacquiao to fight Mayweather next, and yet in the next breath, Roach is saying that Mayweather doesn’t make the rules in boxing. Roach, of course, [...]

By Chris Williams: Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach is very interested in having Pacquiao fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. next, as long as Mayweather wins his next fight against Shane Mosley on May 1st.

By Jason Kim: Manny Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach says that he think that Pacquiao should get out of boxing and retire after a possible fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. next. Roach seems to be overlooking completely the threat that Pacquiao has in front of him with a fight against Joshua Clottey bearing down on the [...]

By Esteban Garduno: I think it’s for the best that Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. ended up not fighting. If they had fought, I have a strong feeling that the Pacquiao hype machine would end on that night with Mayweather making Pacquiao look ridiculous in beating him either by knockout or a hopelessly one-sided [...]

By Jason KIm: In a recent article at the Grand Rapids Press, unbeaten Floyd Mayweather’s comments about future drug testing as well as the purse split for a fight against Manny Pacquiao makes it look as if the fight will never be made.

By Chris Williams: If you think that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is going to back down from his random blood testing when it comes to negotiating a fight with World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, think again.

By Jason Kim: As the time passes since Floyd Mayweather’s potential mega fight against World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao fell apart over the random blood tests that Mayweather had insisted on for the fight, more and more fighters are coming out of the woodwork saying that they would be more than happy to [...]

By Jonathan Bail:
Mayweather-Mosley on cards
I’m a person who has a love boxing and i’m on the internet almost everyday checking out various boxing websites for the latest fight news.
But I come across a lot of biased opinions or people that have not got a clue about the sport.

By Dave Lahr: In an interview from writer Gareth Davies at The Telegraph, trainer Freddie Roach revealed that his fighter Manny Pacquiao would have to “fight the perfect fight” to beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. You can say that again, Roach.

By Steve Lewis: We still hear it, and once again, Roger Mayweather has gone on the air and lost more credibility when he told the folks at the Boxing Truth Radio Show that Manny Pacquiao was on “A-side meth,” a drug that apparently makes people literally bulletproof, according to the genius that is Roger Mayweather.

By Dave Lahr: Freddie Roach, the trainer of Manny Pacquiao, says that he thinks that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is afraid of Pacquiao. In an article at The Telegraph, Roach says “I’m convinced the more I at this that they [Mayweather and his team] are scared to fight us.” Roach may be seeing things through his [...]

By Jim Dower: Although Manny Pacquiao and his team feel that they did the right thing by not agreeing to take random blood tests within 24 days of the failed March 13th fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., I think Pacquiao may have made a mistake by not sticking it out and continuing to negotiate with [...]

By Dave Lahr: Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum doesn’t sound like he’s ready to give in any about the random blood tests for a future fight between his fighter World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. In an article at the Manila Bulletin, Arum, 79, said this: “If Mayweather wants to [...]

By Dave Lahr: A fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao may never take place in the future unless Mayweather or Pacquiao change their minds about the random blood testing for the fight. Pacquiao doesn’t appear to have changed his mind one bit about the blood testing. In an interview with CNN, Pacquiao said [...]

By Daved Lahr: Freddie Roach, the trainer of Manny Pacquiao, sees the March 13th match-up between former IBF welterweight champion Joshua Clottey and current WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao as being the better fight for fans compared to a bout between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr., which was going to take place on the same [...]

By Dezzie Lightbulb: Now that much of the dust has settled from the recent blow-up between Pacquiao and Mayweather, we can take the time to discuss what it was really all about. Mayweather said at the time that all he wanted was a level playing field, and hence the need for Olympic style blood testing [...]

by Daniel Ciminera: I have been sitting around thinking about all this talk of random blood testing and I have come up with a number of reasons not to introduce mandatory randomized blood testing.

By Jason Kim: The recent mega fight between WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. died out because of the random blood tests for drugs that Mayweather wanted bout fighters to take before the fight.

By Harold Tackie: A lot has been said in regard to the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight not taking place. There are many who blame Floyd Mayweather for the fight not taking place, saying he is running scared and that he does not really want the fight. Others blame World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and his [...]

By Dave Lahr: After watching Floyd Mayweather Jr. and World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao’s last fights, I’ve come to the conclusion that Mayweather would have made easy work of the Filipino star had they fought. For that reason, I think it’s fortunate for Pacquiao that he stubbornly resisted meeting Mayweather’s demands for the [...]

By Liam Fitzgerald: For me, World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are by far and away the most talented boxers of this era. They are both supremely talented and a joy to watch in the prime of their careers. And the fact that they are both now campaigning at the same [...]

By Steve Lewis: Though the latest reports say Pacquiao vs. Mayweather is down the drain, it is still conceivable to salvage the fight during the weekend (the “business” deadline). But once the weekend passes with no resolution, it might truly officially be dead.
So what conceivable scenario can save this megafight, given what both sides [...]
