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 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...
