No trash talk needed to promote the fight

Manny Pacquiao, of the Philippines, last fought in November 13, 2010 against Antonio “Tijuana Tornado” Margarito. Prior to the fight, there were a lot of trash talks and Pacquiao’s coach, Freddie Roach ,was mocked by Margarito and his friend boxer Brandon Rios because of the coach’s Parkinson’s disease. On that fight, Margarito had to go through 12 punishing rounds, suffered a broken orbital bone and went to a Dallas hospital right after the fight. Margarito almost got blind with that barrage of punches Manny Pacquiao gave to him. During that fight, Shane Mosley was at the sideline watching Pacquiao display his skills. He then discussed with Pacman’s promoter, Bob Arum, presenting himself as the next opponent of the 8-division world champion.

Shane Mosley got Pacquiao’s nod and helped in the promotion of the Pacquiao-Mosley fight. There were no trash talks at all and both boxers showed respect at each other. Mosley believes that it probably wasn’t worth inciting Pacquiao if he were to fight him.

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and “Sugar” Shane Mosley believes there is no need to talk trash or ridicule each other just to sell the fight. They are both popular boxers and have distinctions in the sport. The only fireworks that will happen will be in the ring at the MGM Grand Arena on May 7.

Sugar Shane and Pacman were correct in being respectful with each other. They distributed about 98% of the tickets within 3 hours after it was sold to the public. The MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas has a seating capacity of over 17,000, which is not as large as the venue of Pacquiao’s last two fights, Dallas Cowboys Stadium which can accommodate over 70,000 viewers. The good thing about the Las Vegas venue is that they can sell tickets at a higher price and hotels also take advantage from it.

“I may trash talk a little bit” according to Freddie Roach (while laughing), in an interview by Las Vegas Review-Jounal. “But I do think my guy will knock Mosley out.”

Manny Pacquiao and trainer Freddie Roach are already in the second phase of their training. They are in Hollywood, California at Roach’s Wild Card Gym and are closing their doors to the public so they can work out a plan on how to defeat Mosley. They are not taking Shane lightly. Shane is now training in Big Bear, California with Naazim Richardson. The Pomona native can punch in both hands and if Pacquiao is not careful, he might get tagged by a solid punch and lose in a knockout.

Many are already excited to watch the Pacquiao-Mosley fight. For those who want to buy the remaining tickets you may buy it at TicketNetwork.com.

Fans were complaining, tickets for the Pacquiao-Mosley fight hasn't been given yet even if it's already paid




LAS VEGAS, Nevada - Plenty of tickets were allegedly sold by MGM Grand Hotel and Casino for the Manny Pacquiao-Sugar Shane Mosley WBO world welterweight title fight this coming May 7.

According to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, right now the MGM Grand have endured to recover all their excessive sold tickets because many people who have bought tickets earlier have been complaining that until now tickets weren't given to them even if they have already paid for it.

If you remember, on the first three hours of ticket selling for the Pacquiao-Mosley fight, Top Rank have announced that almost 1,000 tickets were only left for more than 17,000 seating capacity of the MGM Grand Arena and two months before the fight the tickets have already been sold.

According to report from Las Vegas, Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s boxing matches were the only main events that could fill up the entire boxing arena in Las Vegas.

Additional report was told that even the bout of WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan and Mark Maidana, Mandalay Bay was giving away more free tickets just to fill up the arena.

This situation also happened in the "Action Heroes" pay-per-view card wherein the main event of former three-division world champion Eric Morales against Marcos Maidana this coming Saturday at the MGM Grand Arena.

What if Clottey beats Pacquiao, What Then?



What are the ramifications for Manny Pacquiao if Ghanian Joshua Clottey defeats him at the Cowboy’s stadium on March 13th. Will Pacquiao’s world come tumbling down around him like Tysons did in 1990, when massive underdog James Buster Dougles knocked him out in the Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan.

What will happen with the much anticipated Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather mega-fight? A sure matchup between Tyson and Holyfield was in tatters after Iron Mike’s defeat in Tokyo. The bout did take place six years later, but Tyson’s antics outside the ring had a huge part to play. Nevertheless had Mike Tyson not been sent to Prison a Holyfield bout would have been somewhat in the distance, as he was already rebuilding his career after the Dougles defeat.

Clottey has only fought a few top tier opponents during his career, losing to two of them, Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto. But on occasions fighters rise above, sometimes a fighter has that one moment that defines his career. When against all the odds everything falls into place for him, what better motivation does Joshua Clottey need than sharing a ring with the hugely popular pound for pound king and staged in one of the greatest venues on the planet.

Tommy “The Duke” Morrison was all but ready for a fight with Riddick Bowe until he ran into the right hand of Michell Bentt and was blown away in the first round when the two met in Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1993.

You could be forgiven for thinking Wladimir Klitschko was on a collision course with WBC heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, only for Mr Sanders to spoil the party knocking Wladimir out in the second round in Germany, 2003.

Zab Judah was somewhat fortunate to keep the fight with Flod Mayweather on track, considering three months earlier he lost his WBC welterweight title to Carlos Baldomir. But with the defeat the fight lost something and did not seem as important on the greater scheme of things. I have no doubt Miguel Cotto would have shared a ring with Oscar De La Hoya had he got past Antonio Margarito.

And Roy Jones Jr losing to Danny Green could have upset the applecart with a Bernard Hopkins fight on the horizon, and probably would have if it occurred five or six years ago, but this fight is all about cashing in. So was never in doubt from the fighters standpoint.

The list goes on, boxing has no script. Anything can happen anywhere, anytime and more importantly to anyone. It’s happened to the best of them and if it happens to the Pac-Man he won’t be the last.

Obviously if Clottey where to win a rematch would be imminent, and that very clause probably resides tucked away in some filing cabinet as of writing (sending a Pacquiao – Mayweather bout even further into the distance). Another opportunity to face the biggest name in boxing, and be in a position to get a bigger slice of the cake, it would be the best offer out there for the Clottey. I’m guessing he would also want to prove the first fight was no fluke either.

Pacquiao-Clottey, and Pacquiao-Morales IV Pacquiao should be ashamed of sparring a 0-6 fighter

“Don’t listen to their words, fix your attention on their deeds.” —Albert Einstein

So I wake up this morning on this beautiful sunny day in Southern California doing my normal daily routine. A routine that consisted of me signing online checking the OfficialScoreCard web site, my GMail, Twitter, & Face Book accounts just like any other day. Then after I checked those sites I went to BoxingScene.com and to my surprise I see a headline entitled “Manny Pacquiao Gives His Sparring Partner a Beating”.

I was anxious to read the article because I wanted to hear exaclty what kind of damage it was that Manny inflicted on this “sparring partner”. Apparently “Pacquiao dished out a beating to Brooks” claimed Freddie Roach and on the surface it appeared as if Manny Pacquiao had just destroyed a top prospect or legitimate contender. But waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttt a minute boys & girls, if you actually look through the “SMOKE SCREENS” blown out by Team Pacquiao, you will see that Bryan Brooks is no more than an 0-6-1 fighter who has been knocked out twice in his minimal career by 2 fighters who were fighting in their pro debuts.

On top of all that, Brooks hasn’t fought in 5 years. His last fight was in 2005 in which he fought to a draw.

Wait it gets better, Brooks was born in September of 1970. Now I am no Calculus Major, but if my math serves me correctly, Brooks should be 39 years of age quickly approaching the tender age of 40.

Why would Freddie Roach release statements to the media about Manny beating up a sparring partner of this caliber? Is this really news?

Are we supposed to bow down and praise Manny Pacquiao for beating up a guy in sparring with a record of 0-6-1 and hasn’t been in a proffesional fight in 5 years. Also, Brooks has never been in a proffesional fight longer than 4 rounds.

Is Team Pacquiao THAT desperate to get attention to the Pacquiao-Clottey fight that they have to make Pacquiao’s sparring sessions seem larger than life?

Maybe Top Rank & the rest of Team Pac are realizing the fight everyone is now interested in is the Mayweather-Mosley fight and they are grasping at straws trying to get any attention they possibly can?

WBC NAMES PACQUIAO 'BOXER OF THE YEAR'

By Ronnie Nathanielsz

Sat, 30 Jan 2010



The World Boxing Council has named pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao as "The Boxer of the Year" following his devastating victories over Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton and WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto last year.

The WBC saluted Pacquiao who has set a record of winning seven world titles in seven different weight divisions and as the First Diamond World Champion of the pre-eminent boxing organization and holder of the very first and historic Diamond green and gold belt.

WBC president Don Jose Sulaiman made the announcement based on voting by the World Boxing Council, Mexican journalists and fans through the WBC website. Sulaiman said the awardees would be hnored in a special gala ceremony in February although no date has been set as yet.

Named "World Champion of the Year" is the king of the heavyweights, Vitali Klitschko, of Ukraine, with a total of three defenses which was more than the usual number of title dvefenses by a heavyweight within within such period of time.

Klitschko knocked out Juan Carlos Gomez and Chris Arreola in March and September, respectively, and also defeated Kevin Johnson in a very clear decision.

Undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr won the award for the "Comeback of the Year". Mayweather returned almost two years after he announced his retirement and scored a lopsided unanimous decision over Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas.

Mayweather has won five championships as well as five green and gold belts in five different WBC divisions, having faced rivals of the highest level of recognition in the world.

Voted the "Revelation of the Year" was Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, of Mexico, with a record of 30 wins, 22 of them by knockout and a draw.

With seven wins in the year “Canelo” has already become an idol of Mexican fans.
