PACQUIAO AND THE BIEBER LOOK

 SOURCE: ANN

Leading up to the WBO Welterweight fight on May 7 (May 8, Philippine time) against five-time titleholder Sugar Shane Mosley, Manny Pacquiao appeared at their Los Angeles press conference to kick off their tour to promote their fight sporting a big smile and a new hairdo!

The 32-year-old indeed looked younger with his Justin Beiber-ish hair style and his sweater-shirt with jeans getup. And standing beside the 39-year-old Mosley who was garbed in a spiffy light-colored suit, it just brought more emphasis on the age gap.

Their next appearance will be on February 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas where the fight will be held, and then they’ll be spending their Valentine’s Day showing the New York fans some love with a promotional event there. The day after, Pacquiao is set to meet with US President Barack Obama and the first lady at the White House.

The fight will be produced and distributed by Showtime Networks Inc., and its parent company CBS for the first time. Showtime will also produce Fight Camp 360° as a preview of Pacquiao vs. Mosley as CBS will also be doing features this April leading up to the fight.

“I’m excited to be fighting on May 7 because it’s covered by Showtime and CBS. It’s going to give more boxing fans a chance to see the fight,” shared Pacquiao. Showtime is shown on 115 million homes as compared to HBO’s 28 million.

The congressman from Saranggani also he promised to give the fans the biggest fight of the year as he puts his 52-3-2, 38 knockouts record on the line.

Curious to see how his hair, will affect his fight though. Justin Beiber keeps flicking his head sideways to get his hair off his eyes. What if Pacquiao needs to do the same? What if he flicks his head to the right and catches Mosley’s punch? That would be tragic like “baby, baby, baby no!”

THE PACQUIAO-MOSLEY LA PRESSCON: A PICTORIAL

 SOURCE: Ed de la Vega

Beverly Hills, CA:- At high noon today, Bob Arum’s Top Rank Promotions in cooperation with CBS and ShowTime, held the first of the series of press conferences aimed at hyping the May 7th blockbuster fight between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley.

The event was held at the swank Beverly Hills Hotel along Sunset Boulevard in the west side of the famous home of the stars, Beverly Hills.

It was a grand presscon, one that has not been seen these days lately. Top Rank and CBS-ShowTime left no stone unturned in putting up the event. Everyone in the “who-is-who" in the sports and boxing press corps was there. Why even Jinkee Pacquiao, who seldom appears in these kind of events was there too to lend her support for her husband.



































What is so nice about the whole event was the fact that two classy gentlemen were involved. Thus, there was no thrash-talk. Instead, there was a lot of show of respect for each other and that made it such a nice clean event.



The event moves on to Las Vegas in two days, then on to New York and possibly Washington, DC.




The MGM people who were there announced that the early odds shows Pacquiao at -700 indicating that the book makers at Las Vegas are favoring the Filipino boxing idol to keep his WBO crown.

PACQUIAO DROPS WBC SUPER WELTER CROWN

 SOURCE: INQUIRER

Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao will relinquish his super welterweight crown as a prelude to his clash against Shane Mosley in May and as a formal sign that the ring icon will no longer risk fighting above the welterweight ranks.

Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz said that the pound-for-pound king reached the decision in response to a query from WBC president Jose Sulaiman asking the Filipino whether he intended to defend his 154 pound belt or not.

Sulaiman posed the question after Top Rank announced that Pacquiao’s next fight would be against Mosley and it would be for the WBO welterweight title the Pacman won against Cotto in 2009.

Pacquiao and Mosley square off at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 7.

Pacquiao pulverized Antonio Margarito to win the 154 pound title by a lopsided twelve round decision at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas last Nov. 13, but Koncz said the Filipino’s team learned a valuable lesson from the bout.

Margarito entered the ring with a 17-pound advantage and and managed to inflict damage on Pacquiao.

“We learned from experience in the Margarito fight that giving away 10 to 15 pounds during fight night is very detrimental to the safety of Manny,” Koncz told the Inquirer. “Because of those basic concerns we have no intention for Manny to fight at 154. From this day forward the maximum weight would be 147 lb (welterweight).”

Koncz said he would send a “thank [you] letter” stating how much they “appreciate what the WBC has done and that Manny wants to free the belt so that others have the opportunity to proudly wear the WBC belt.”

On the issue of outstanding sanction fees broken down as $30,000 for the rematch against Juan Manuel Marquez on March 15, 2008 and the $50,000 due on the fight against Oscar De La Hoya on Dec. 6, 2008, Koncz said “I am going to send an e-mail to Top Rank instructing them to pay $50,000 for the De La Hoya fight because that was [the] agreement.”

“We should honor it.”

For the Marquez rematch sanction fee, Koncz claimed “Top Rank would deduct whatever the sanction fee was from Manny’s purse and pay it directly without any consultation, without any guidance. So if there is or isn’t a percent due that’s a problem between Top Rank and the WBC.”

BUHAY NA BUHAY ANG BOKSING BY MANNY PACQUIAO

 SOURCE: philboxing.com

Manila --- Magandang araw po sa inyong lahat, mga giliw kong tagatangkilik ng kolum na ito. Sana ay nasa mabuti kayong kalagayan saan mang panig ng mundo kayo naroroon. Ako nama’y nasa maayos ding pangangatawan, bagama’t masyadong abala ay hindi naman po ako nagpapabaya sa aking kalusugan.
 

Nakakatuwang malaman na mabenta ang tiket para sa nalalapit naming laban ni Ginoong Shane Mosley sa Mayo 7 sa MGM Grand sa Las Vegas.

Nakarating po sa akin ang magandang balita na sa loob lamang ng 3 oras ay 16K agad ang nabentang tiket.

Nakakataba ng puso, hindi po ba? Na ngayon pa lamang ay marami na ang interesado sa aming laban. Imagine, 16 thousand tickets sold in just three hours, ‘yan ay ayon sa aking promoter.

Nangangahulugan lamang na hindi totoo ang sinasabi ng ilan, na walang may manonood ng aming laban. Ang pagka-sold out ng tiket sa unang labas pa lamang ay matibay na ebidensiya na buhay na buhay talaga ang larong boksing. Walang katotohanan ang sinasabi ng ilan na ‘patay’ ang boksing at walang manonood sa laban namin.

Ibig sabihin rin nito, na mas marami ang naniniwalang isa na namang kapanapanabik na laban ang kanilang aabangan sa Mayo.

Ibig sabihin din ng balitang ito, mahal ako ng tao. Kaya naman, susuklian ko ang pagmamahal na iyan ng ibayong paghahanda upang muli na naman nating makamit ang tagumpay.

Nabasa ko rin ang sinabi ni Ginoong Mosley na kaya niya akong talunin dahil madali naman daw akong tamaan.

‘Yan po ang aking paghahandaan. Sa tulong ng aking trainer at iba pang makakasama sa training camp, gugugol po kami ng panahon upang ma-counter ang anumang ibabato sa akin ng kalaban.
Katulad po ng dati, muli kong hihingin ang inyong tulong at suporta, hindi sa pisikal, kundi sa ispiritwal na aspeto, upang sa bandang huli, tayo pa rin ang magbubunyi.

Maraming salamat sa patuloy ninyong pagtangkilik sa aking laban.

Hanggang sa muling Kumbinasyon. God bless us all!

Pacquiao to get at least $15-M for Mosley fight

SOURCE: GMANews.TV

The fight between boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao and Sugar Shane Mosley is officially on after the Filipino ring icon formally signed the contract for the May 7 bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The early evening newscast 24 Oras was the first to break the news Tuesday.

The fight had been announced even before Christmas, although no formal signing was made.

Details of the contract were not made available, although as in his last fight against Mexican Antonio Margarito, the 32-year-old ring icon is guaranteed to receive $15 million or around P660 million (based on the current rate of P44-$1) as his fight purse.

“No lower than $15 million," said Pacquiao chief-of-staff Atty. Franklin Gacal.

Of course Pacquiao also expects to get a major share of the pay-per-view buys, which could then up his net gain to about $20 million (P880 million).

Top Rank chairman Bob Arum mentioned that Mosley, 39, is assured of a $5 million guaranteed prize purse, although his share in the pay-per-view sales is expected to help surpass his biggest career earnings in a single fight, which was $7 million for last year’s non-title showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

As earlier agreed upon, Arum said Mosley is assured of a $5 share per pay-per-view buy of above 500,000.

With Top Rank looking at reaching pay-per-view buys of 1.2 million, Mosley is likely to earn as much as $8.5 million.

Fights involving Pacquiao in the last two years have not drawn pay-per-view buys lower than 700,000, which was the number gained by his March title defense of his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title against Joshua Clottey of Ghana.

His World Boxing Council (WBC) super-welterweight championship match with Margarito attained 1.15 million in pay-per-view buys.

The promotional hype for the 12-round bout kicks off in February with a three-city press tour.

Arum said both Pacquiao and Mosley are set to make stops in Los Angeles, New York and Washington, where the Filipino congressman hopes to have an audience with U.S. President Barack Obama, a close friend of Senate Majority leader Harry Reid of Las Vegas.

Pacquiao helped Reid in his election campaign last year.

The official press conference of the fight will be held in San Francisco, Arum added.

Walang Madaling Laban

SOURCE: Manny Pacquiao, Philboxing.com

MANILA -- Isang magandang araw ulit ang ipinaparating ko sa inyong lahat lalung-lalo na sa mga masusugid kong tagahanga at mga tagasubaybay ng kolum na ito. Sana ay nasa mabuti kayong kalagayan saan man kayo naroroon sa mundo.

Kababalik lang namin sa Pilipinas matapos ang isang mahabang bakasyon na nagsimula sa Boracay at naituloy sa Japan at Australia. Lubhang kasiya-siya at nakakarelax ang panahong ginugol ko kasama ang aking buong pamilya. Masayang-masaya ako sa paglalambing ng aking dalawang anak na babae na lubos ding nag-enjoy kasama ang kanilang dalawang kuya. Kaybilis ng panahon at ngayon, mas kalugud-logod na ang ganitong mga family trip namin ng aking asawang si Jinkee.

Dati, mahirap ang maglakbay dahil maliliit pa ang aming mga anak. Ngayon, pati ang aking bunso ay kasama na sa saya. Maraming mga ala-ala ang hindi mababayaran ng anumang salapi at ang ginintuang oras namin sa isa't-isa ay bunga na rin ng pagsisikap naming mag-anak. Lahat ay nagsasakripisyo dahil na rin sa aking trabaho bilang boxer at Congressman. Dahil minsan lang magiging bata ang aking mga anak, kinakailangan kong ibigay ang nararapat na oras para rin sa kanila gaya na rin ng oras ko sa pag-eensayo at sa pagtulong sa aking mga nasasaklaw sa lalawigan ng Sarangani.

Balik ulit ako sa pagsubaybay sa mga proyektong aking sinimulan at lubos akong nasisiyahan at sa wakas, masisimulan na rin ang ospital ng lalawigan. Bukod dito, marami pang proyekto ang nakasalang, gaya ng aking naipangako sa aking mga kababayan.

Malapit na rin ang laban namin ni "Sugar" Shane Mosley sa May 7 at sa susunod na buwan, uumpisahan na namin ang pagpo-promote nito sa America. Uumpisahan ko na rin kahit na papaano ang paghahanda dahil alam ko, mahirap na laban ito.

Marami kasi ang nagsasabi na madali ang laban na ito, iyong mga umano’y mga ekspertong manunulat na simula pa man sa una ay hindi na naniwala sa kakayahan ng isang maliit na Filipino. Magmula nang manalo tayo kontra sa mga dambuhalang kalaban ay lalo naman nila tayong kinukutya. Madali raw ang laban na ito kaya "basura" raw, ani ng isang maimpluwensiyang writer na sa tingin ko ay hindi pa nakaranas ng totoong away o di kaya ay magsuot ng gloves o maglagay ng benda sa kamay. Kaya naman daw dapat ay i-boycott ang laban na ito, gaya na rin ng kanyang panawagan na i-boycott din ang laban namin ni Antonio Margarito na isa raw na mandaraya.

Ito lang ang masasabi ko: There is never an easy fight. Every time I step into the ring, I risk my life and my future. I had to find ways to negate the advantages in size of Diaz, Dela Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey and Margarito. I have stepped up to face men easily bigger and taller than me. To say that every fighter I face in the ring does not deserve attention talks about ignorance. How can a fight be easy when I have been working my hardest efforts every single time? I am no superman. When I get hit, I pretend I did not get hurt so as to frustrate my opponent. That's part of the sacrifice! Funny, these same writers who ask for a boycott almost always cover my fights, anyway.

Noong laban namin ni Margarito, marami ang hindi nakakaalam na ito ang isa sa mga pinakamahirap kong laban. Nang tamaan niya ako, naramdaman ko ang lakas ng dating kampeon na 5 inches at 17 pounds ang bentahe sa akin. Kaya naman iniiwasan siyang makaharap ng marami. Gaya ni Mosley na dati ring kampeon, mas mahirap sa aking pananaw ang laban na ito dahil may taglay na bilis at talino sa ring si Shane. At dahil nakataya pa rin ang aking pagiging No. 1 pound-for-pound, sigurado akong maghahanda ng lubusan ang sinumang makakalaban ko para pabaksakin ako sa trono.

Noong nagkaharap si Margarito at Mosley, marami ang tumawa sa akin nang sabihin kong kayang tatalunin ni Mosley si Margarito. Si Mosley ang pinili ko at ako ang nanalo at tumatawa sa huli. Now I say, Shane Mosley is still very much more dangerous. Bernard Hopkins is much older at 45 years old but I think he won that fight which ended in a draw!

Hanggang sa muling Kumbinasyon. God Bless Us All.
