By Frank Car: Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum had a smile on his face after his meeting with Manny Pacquio in Manila. Wonder why? Of course not, you already know. The meeting took place on Friday morning in the Philippines and what would be Thursday night in the U.S. largely concerning Pacquiao’s stance on the Mayweather vs Pacquiao bout and guess what.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao: It Could be March 13th or Never
By Frank Car: Bob Arum, Manny Pacquiao’s promoter said if Pacquiao “let’s Mayweather off the hook now by not agreeing to the March 13th date because of the politics here in this country then we are never going to get him (Mayweather) in the ring. We will give him the excuse to say ‘Yeah I’ll fight anybody but look at this Pacquiao..” in an exclusive interview with Standard Today, Viva Sports and www.insidessports.ph at the New World Hotel in Makati (city in Manila, the national capital of the Philippines).
Marketing Floyd Mayweather: What is the Appeal?
By Steve Lewis: The buzz lately has been the perceived “progress” in the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao negotiations. We do not know yet what the terms are of the deal, so it would be prudent to reserve judgment or opinion as to whose court the ball is on at this point. Regardless of when this super fight will take place (whether it will be before or after the Philippine elections), it is being projected as the biggest moneymaker in boxing history.
Give Mayweather Jr his credit!
By Jorge Lugo: In a world where everyone takes advantage of each other Mayweather Jr has used his head just as much as his fists. With everyone (including Me) stating Mayweather hasn’t fought real fights or that he is a average fighter is one thing. But the fact is, from what I understand. Mayweather has agreed on his half to fighting Manny Pacquiao in 2010.
Manny Pacquiao: Is there any need to criticise him
By Peter Wells: It’s a horrible thing to read all these articles on this website, targeting Pacquiao to be a cheat, and a poor fighter. This man should be respected, he deserves it, and the likes of Manuel Perez and Liam Santiago really get under my skin. If you don’t like the guy then just keep it to yourself instead of telling us every week why you think he’s so rubbish. But in the real world, we real boxing fans know he is the best boxing in the world, and we all give him credit for him.
Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: Another Problem on the Horizon
By Frank Car: Just when we thought we had it. The mega-fight. There now seems to be yet another issue, and not from Mayweather whom many thought would be the problematic one in this negotiation and has actually been the one to “get it done.” But from Manny Pacquiao.
Tough fighters and Pretty Fighters: Pacquiao v. Mayweather, The Latest Installment
By Caesar Almase: In the history of boxing, some of the greatest wars were waged between a tough fighters and a pretty fighter. Robinson v. LaMotta, Ali v. Frazier, Leonard v. Hearns/Duran/Hagler, Arguello v. Pryor, and now most recently, (hopefully) Pacquiao v. Mayweather. This fight, like the others mentioned, has the potential to uplift and transcend the sport of boxing. This is THE FIGHT of our generation, regardless of what the critics and naysayers say (aka the “Perez Menace,” as aptly labeled by boxing contributor, Steve Lewis, but I digress).
Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr., Continued…
By Fred-Lloyd Brunzki: Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. are two of the most interesting topics in the boxing world today and shall be in the future. The speculations and questions will only be settled after they finally meet in the ring to decide who between them is the better boxer. As to who is greater is a different issue. These are the thoughts I would like to share:
Paul Williams Interested in fighting Pacquiao – News
By Manuel Perez: Well, if Manny Pacquiao isn’t going to be fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr, next, he at least should take on a super talented fighter like interim World Boxing Organization light middleweight champion Paul Williams if Pacquiao is seriously interested in fighting a 154 pounder. In an interview at Truefan boxing, Williams said “I difinitely would like to fight Manny Pacquiao. He’s got a style where he likes to throw a lot of punches. I also like to throw a lot of punches. If they [Pacquiao want to fight me right now, I’m very willing to get it on.”
Manny Pacquiao vs Yuri Foreman…What?!
By Eamon Mcdonald: I recently read an interview with Freddie Roach, the trainer for Manny Pacquiao, in which he said Manny might take on World Boxing Association junior middleweight champion Yuri Foreman. The majority of boxing fans will respond ‘who’s that?’ and that is exactly my response. Pacquaio would have to gain more weight to fight this unknown fighter which in turn could end up being a big talking point in the Mayweather-Pacquiao match next year (which is going to happen, I don’t know why people keep talking bout it being canceled because it will definitely happen).
