Pacquiao Records

By TIM DAHLBERG, AP Boxing Writer Tim Dahlberg, Ap Boxing Writer – Wed Dec 23, 5:12 pm ET LAS VEGAS – Manny Pacquiao has always been willing to spill blood to win a fight. He's not nearly as eager to give blood to get a fight. The fate of Pacquiao's planned March 13 megafight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. hangs in the balance. Both sides traded jabs Wednesday over Mayweather's insistence that the two submit to Olympic-style drug testing amid indications that both were open to a possible compromise. With time running short, though, Pacquiao's promoter said he's not willing to negotiate much longer to make the fight. "I think it's over tomorrow and we're going to another opponent if there is no agreement," promoter Bob Arum said. "It looks to me like they want a way out of the fight. Mayweather doesn't want to take a chance of losing." A day after Mayweather's camp threatened to scuttle the fight unless the boxers were subject to

LOS ANGELES – So who’s next for Manny Pacquiao ? Well, at least for now, he’s got Ricky Hatton to his left, and Floyd Mayweather Jr . to his right. And all Pacquiao has to do is choose. Pacquiao , fresh from his eight-round destruction of Oscar de la Hoya at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, said Sunday that the Mayweather camp had sent feelers about a possible fight with the Filipino superstar. “They sent a message to us that if I beat De la Hoya, he will come out of retirement to face me,” said Pacquiao, referring to Mayweather who suddenly retired after beating De la Hoya and Hatton last year. But following Pacquiao’s unbelievable win that pushed De la Hoya closer to retirement, there are calls for another big match, another dream match against Mayweather, the former pound-for-pound champion. Pacquiao now wears that billing, and a fight with Mayweather , sometime in May or June, will be another great night of boxing. But Hatton wants to face Pacquiao, too, and also offers a huge opport

MANILA, Philippines - The recent welterweight megafight between Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and Puerto Rican WBO champion Miguel Cotto is expected to generate close to 2 million pay-per-view buys. “They’re very good,” said Top Rank promoter Bob Arum in an interview with Boxingtalk.com ., referring to the PPV figures. “Yeah, it’s well over one million but I really don’t know. It will be somewhere north of one million.” Rey Colón of the “El Vocero” of Puerto Rico reported that the fight, which Pacquiao won via a convincing 12th round TKO , made approximately two million pay-per-view buys generating at least $120 million in revenues . No word on what Pacquiao´s cut will be but Cotto was mentioned to be making at least $10 million. (Related story on Page 21) Pacquiao had a guaranteed purse of $13 million in the Cotto fight. Arum has earlier indicated that he had “pretty much the final numbers” for Puerto Rico alone which he said “set a record” by surpassing the pr

Slideshow: Faces of Asia PH Pacquiao hits out over romantic rumours MANILA (AFP) - – Manny Pacquiao on Wednesday brushed off rumours his marriage was on the rocks amid reports the Philippine boxing superstar flew a starlet to Las Vegas to watch him win a record seventh world title. In an interview aired over local television station ABS-CBN as he prepared to fly home to a hero's welcome after taking Miguel Cotto's World Boxing Organisation welterweight title in Las Vegas, the Pacman sidestepped the issue. Pacquiao, 30 , instead admonished the local press to report his achievements in the ring, "not the private lives of people". "I hope they honour the achievements that I have won for my fellow Filipinos," he said. The glow from Saturday's one-sided contest has been partly tarnished by reports that Pacquiao stayed in a different hotel from his wife, Jinkee, with whom he has three children, while they were in the Un

"I'm still with Dom," said Krista, referring to her boyfriend-director Dominic Zapata . Krista added that she is aware of the issue romantically linking her to Manny but she refused to elaborate for now. "We're still discussing when and how we would speak [about the issue]," she said. In a text message sent to GMA-7, Zapata neither confirmed nor denied that he and Krista are still lovers. "Suffice it to say that there are non-truths being told. I guess that's all I'm going to say," Dominic told GMA News. The sexy actress also rebuffed rumors that she's in that interesting stage. "No dear, I'm not pregnant," Krista told GMA-7 reporter Nelson Canlas. At 5 p.m., Nelson was able to talk with Krista's manager Arnold Vegafri

Reuters " vspace="3" border="1" hspace="3"> MANNY PACQUIAO celebrates after beating Miguel Cotto Reuters Mayweather told the paper that he wants to fight Pacquiao and it disturbs him that the Filipino won’t admit he wants the fight as well. "Manny Pacquiao is the fighter and every time someone asks him if he wants to fight me, he says it is up to his promoter, he’s going to take a vacation, whatever the answer is," USA Today quoted Mayweather saying on Monday. "I have yet to hear him actually say, ‘yes I want to fight Mayweather.’ We are the fighters and if one fighter is talking about fighting another fighter, then they should just come out and say it.

One week before the fight, Pacquiao invited everyone to the Manny Pacquiao After Fight Party at The Highlands of Hollywood . Some said that he was brave, while others think that he's overconfident. Well, Pacquiao won his match against Cotto , and in hindsight, those who think his confidence is not misplace, but a positive trait to nurture, is right. The $40 ticket concert was held two hours after his win against Miguel Cotto. Even with swollen ear wrapped in bandage, his head covered with a fedora, he still managed to sing eight songs with a backing band together with guests Lito Camo, Martin Nievera, and “Britain’s Got Talent’s” semi-finalist Madonna Decena whose career the boxer is managing via his promotional team.

LAS VEGAS – Manny Pacquiao staked his claim atop boxing’s mythical throne as the pound-for-pound best, using his lightning hand speed to beat and batter Miguel Cotto into submission Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Pacquiao knocked Cotto down once in the third round and again in the fourth, pummeled him repeatedly and easily lifted the World Boxing Organization welterweight belt from the Puerto Rican with a 12th-round stoppage. The time was 55 seconds into the final round, as referee Kenny Bayless leaped between the fighters to save Cotto a more savage beating and ignominious end. Cotto came out strong and landed some hard punches, but Cotto couldn’t deal with the speed. Pacquiao was landing three shots for every two Cotto did early. After the knockdown in the fourth, Cotto’s offense was nonexistent as he spent most of the last two thirds of the fight fending off Pacquiao’s onslaught. Cotto landed in single digits in power shots in every round from the fifth forward. Pacq

By Manuel Perez: Manny Pacquiao will be trying to make boxing history on November 14th by winning seven world titles in seven different weight divisions when he steps in the ring with WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Cotto, 29, will have his World Boxing Organization title on the line despite the fight being held at a 145 pound catch weight for the bout, a move to make it a tad easier for Pacquiao to match up with the talented Puerto Rican fighter. It’s sad that there has to be a catch weight for this fight, because it taints the bout in my eyes. How can a title be on the line when the fight is being held at a catch weight? I have no problem with the made up Diamond belt being on the line considering that it was designed at the spur of the moment just for this type of occasion. But the WBO title shouldn’t be on the line unless the fight is being held at the full 147 pound limit of the welterweight division. Never the less, the title will be

Miguel Cotto appears to be confident and focused just days away from the biggest fight of his career against the pride of the Philippines. Far from being intimidated by the prospect of facing a six weight champion, Cotto feels he isn't getting enough respect as a great fighter in his own right. Claims from Freddie Roach that his first loss had hit him hard were rebuffed by Cotto, who responded: “Why don’t you ask Manny that question because he has had three losses I have just one,” “Sometimes when you lose you win. Since Margarito great things have come to my career. “This is the problem,” Cotto said. “Freddie Roach is not the guy who is going to climb into the ring. If he prepares Manny for just nine rounds then he has three more rounds. “He (Roach) can say whatever he wants. One day he says the first round and the next day he says round seven. “He (Pacquaio) can fight Mayweather as many times as he wants after I beat him,” Cotto said. Whether this con

LOS ANGELES — To pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao, size really doesn't matter. The Filipino boxing hero, gearing up for a world title clash with Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto that could give Pacquiao a slice of boxing history, said he doesn't put much stock in those who say Cotto's superior size could prove too much. "I have heard that a couple of times the past two years," Pacquiao said with a smile Wednesday, as reporters, photographers and TV cameramen jammed Hollywood's WildCard boxing club to see him train. After all, Pacquiao's most recent victories have come against bigger opponents. Admittedly Oscar De La Hoya was past his prime when Pacquiao stopped him in the eighth round in December of 2008. On May 2, Pacquiao knocked out Britain's Ricky Hatton in the second round of their junior welterweight clash. "It's not about comparing size, not about comparing power," Pacquiao insisted. "Knowledge is power. You don't have kn

MANILA, Philippines – Boxing greats Joe Louis, Max Schmeling, Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Frazier, Cassius Clay aka Muhammad Ali. And now Manny Pacquiao. The Filipino ring icon is the latest fighter to make it to the list of professional boxers to be featured in the cover of well-respected magazine Time — and only the second non-heavyweight fighter to do so. This also makes Pacquiao the second Filipino to grace Time’s cover after former President and democracy icon Corazon Aquino, who was named the magazine’s "Woman of the Year" in 1986. Apart from heavyweights Louis, Schmeling, Frazier, Ali and middleweight Robinson, other boxers who had made it to the magazine’s cover include heavyweights Jack Dempsey, Primo Carnerra, Gene Tunney and the controversial Mike Tyson. In its latest Asia edition issue, Time pays homage to the General Santos City-based southpaw in a story titled “The Meaning of Manny,” which branded the Filipino spitfire as “the latest savior of boxin

Amir Khan has his routine at the Wild Card Gym, Freddie’s Roach’s Hollywood training base. He runs, he goes on the pads, then he spars in the afternoon. The plan is laid out by Roach, thousands of miles away. Before his last two fights, Khan has had his mobile phone confiscated by Roach so that the many friends of the British fighter leaves him in peace. Right now, that mobile phone is a direct line of instruction from The Philippines to Los Angeles. Khan revealed in the last few hours that he speaks daily with Roach who gives him his training routine. Roach is in Baguio City where he is in camp with Filipino idol Manny Pacquiao , in phase one of their training ahead of the November 14 meeting with Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas . Pacquiao and Roach return to the Wild Card in eight days’ time. Khan said yesterday that he eagerly awaits the return, next week, of Roach and Pacquiao to the heat of LA. He also insisted that there is no better way for him to prepare for his next
