Pacquiao vs Mayweather in the Works

Eight-division boxing champion Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao has confirmed that a megafight between him and unbeaten American Floyd Mayweather Jr. is currently under negotiations.
“Ongoing ang negotiation sa fight namin ni Mayweather, hindi pa final (Negotiations are ongoing for my fight with Mayweather, but nothing is final),” Pacquiao said after his homecoming in General Santos City today.

Pacquiao said Mayweather was probably more open to fighting him after the latter saw his controversial third fight against Marquez where the Filipino champion barely etched out a win.
In contrast, Mayweather Jr easily beat Marquez in their 2009 fight. Watch the video highlights Mayweather’s conquest of Marquez below.

Pacquiao: I Want to Give Him a Rematch

The third fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez was supposed to settle everything. For Pacquiao, a win was to be a validation of his two previous controversial victories. Marquez, on the other hand, hoped a victory in the third bout would finally vindicate his bold claim that he beat the Filipino fighter twice.
But after a grueling 12 rounds, the score remains unsettled. Instead of providing answers, it raised more questions.
Even the judges were not unanimous with Judges Glenn Trowbridge and Dave Moretti scoring it 116-112  and 115-113 for Manny Pacquiao. Meanwhile, Robert Hoyle thought the fight ended in a draw at 114-114.
“They robbed me again,” said Marquez. “It’s hard when you’re fighting your rival and three judges, too… I’m frustrated. I’m really, really frustrated.”

Pacquiao saw it differently. “It was clear I won the fight,” Pacquiao said amidst a booing crowd of mostly disappointed Mexican fans.
Both trainers echoed their wards statements.
Marquez’s trainer Nacho Beristain said,  “This was robbery at the utmost.”
“This was the closest they ever fought and I thought it would end in a draw,” Roach said. “But Manny won the last two rounds and I wasn’t surprised by the judges’ decision.”
Meanwhile, Top Rank’s Bob Arum said he was going to set up a fourth fight between the two boxers. “If the fighters are willing, the promoters will promote it,” Arum said.
But a fourth fight remains unclear as rumors of Marquez retiring emerged immediately after the fight. Arum is unconvinced Marquez will retire. Roach also thinks otherwise.
When asked if he was willing to figh Marquez for the fourth time, Pacquiao responded, “I want to give him a rematch.”

PACQUIAO IS THE 2011 ESPN ESPY BEST FIGHTER

Manny Pacquiao is the 2011 ESPN ESPY Best Fighter

The pound-for-pound king Manny "The Pacman" Pacquiao overcame his fellow boxers such as Sergio Martinez and Bernard Hopkins for the 2011 ESPN ESPY Best Fighter Awards. After being nominated for the 4th time, Manny Pacquiao got the best votes on the previous award giving body in order to win the award over his fellow boxers. The presentation held at the Nokia Center at LA this Wednesday night and was hosted by Seth Myers. The former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather was not nominated, basically because of his absence for almost a year in the boxing industry but he already won the award previously. Filipinos must be really proud of Manny Pacquiao because he's the first Filipino fighter who ever won this award since it was organized in 1993. Another award which is connected in boxing was given to "Fighter", a film which is based on the true life story of Irish boxer Mickey Ward. On the other hand, Mayweather fans must be really happy with this news. Pacquiao agreed on the random blood testing which Mayweather proposed. Not only that, Pacquiao also agreed about the unlimited blood testing but there's a condition, it should be conducted on a neutral organization in order to avoid misunderstandings. Pacquiao claimed  that the US Anti-Doping Agency, the organization that Mayweather wants to handle the tests is not a neutral agency. Pacquiao said that there are other organizations who could conduct the test with the supervision of the athletic commission. The negotiation of Pacquiao-Mayweather fight failed too many times because of the issues that Mayweather had thrown to Pacquiao. But I think we can have some time without thinking about this match-ups because both fighters had an unfinished challenge to overcome. The Pacquiao vs. Marquez 3 is coming to soon and I'm sure that this is going to  be a very explosive fight.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER: PACQUIAO IS NEXT AFTER ORTIZ

Is Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight possible?

The undefeated welterweight boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. finally accepted the challenge of fighting Manny Pacquiao after his fight against Victor Ortiz on September 17th. After the unsuccessful negotiation of Pacquiao-Mayweather fight last May 2011, the expectations of watching these two great fighters are starting to rise. At the press conference last week, Mayweather said, "Manny Pacquiao, yes, you're next," according to fighthype.com. His opponent (Mayweather), Victor Ortiz, is considered as one of the toughest fighters in the present. After a year of silence in the ring, Mayweather decided to take on Victor Ortiz, who is currently holding the WBC Welterweight belt. The deal between the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is not yet close to its highest expectations, but chances are, if either fighters lose to their respective opponents, the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight might be not possible. And besides, both fighters have a fight to take care of, Manny have to handle Pacquiao vs. Marquez 3, which I guess would be a very explosive match-ups. Other issues affecting the possibility of Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is the random drug tests that Mayweather wants and the possibility of Pacquiao to commit a punitive weight penalty like $10 million per pound overweight penalty. These factors can affect the possibility of the much awaited Pacquiao-Mayweather fight. I hope that there will be no problems that will affect the possibility of the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight because I would love to see Manny Pacquiao fight the former pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. in order for us to know who is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
