Kratki uvodni video ovdje:

Prošlog vikenda obračun naslova u srednjoj kategoriji između Canela Alvareza i Daniela Jacobsa također je predstavljao godišnji Box Fan Expo, održanoj u kongresnom centru u Las Vegasu. Iznenađujuće suvenire i izložene amaterske bokserske akcije upotpunile su niz bivših i sadašnjih boraca svjetskog prvaka dostupnih za brzi susret i pozdrave.
Kao cjeloživotni ljubitelj boksa, bila je šteta što sam imao samo malo više od dva sata na događaju prije nego što sam se vratio u T-Mobile Arenu na početak dvoboja podkarta. Vrijeme koje sam mogao provesti bilo je posve ugodno. Cijene su bile prihvatljive za upoznavanje ovih fist legendi i nekoliko trenutaka za razgovor i fotografiranje. Prosječno $20 -$25 cijena za foto opciju bila je znatno niža od one koja bi se izgubila u kasinu u jednom okretanju ruleta.
James Toney bio je tamo u odijelu, dokazujući da čak može i karirano izgledati stilski. Za tipa poznatog po mračnoj prirodi, bio je vrlo susretljiv i spomenuo je da će u lipnju biti u Philadelphiji na emisiji uživo 7 i nada se da će me tamo vidjeti.
U sljedećem štandu bio je emiter Kuće slavnih Al Berstein, s kojim sam imao privilegiju intervjuirati 2011. Kad su mi rekli da se divim njegovom otmjenom radu i da sam obožavatelj još od njegovih dana s Barryjem Tompkinsom u ESPN-ovim borbama u četvrtak navečer, bio je skroman i zahvalan.
Red za susret s Royem Jonesom Jr.. bio dug, ali vrijedan čekanja. Dok je vremena za razgovor s Royem bilo kratko, Mogao sam spomenuti kakva mi je čast bila upoznati jednog od najvećih izvođača moje generacije i kako sam sjedio samo nekoliko metara od njega kad je bio na setu Creed II.
Dok je linija za susret s legendarnim Sugar Rayem Leonardom bila izuzetno duga, moglo se vidjeti da je istinski uživao, bljesnuvši osmijehom od milijun dolara i radeći svoju poznatu fotografiju s fanovima podignutu šakama. Nažalost, s vremenom sve kraćim, Nisam imao priliku upoznati jednog od svojih najdražih boraca u odrastanju. Najradije bih mu pokazala fotografiju kad sam imala četiri godine, zamahujući na boksačkoj vreći Sugar Ray Leonard koja mi je dana.
Nekoliko metara dalje bio je jedan od najpoznatijih suparnika Sugar Raya, veliki Thomas "Hitman" Hearns. Dok je Hitman pokazivao usporavanje kako stari, još uvijek se pokazuje kao impozantna figura, ali sada taj zastrašujući odsjaj zamjenjuje toplim osmijehom.
Tomasu Hearnsu također se pridružio trenutni prvak IBF-a u super perolakoj kategoriji Tevin Farmer, kolega Philadelphian, koga sam imao priliku gledati kako raste iz 7-4-1 kalfa boksač do a 29-4-1 svjetski prvak.
Moj posjet ne bi bio potpun bez zaustavljanja da vidim "Pazmanijskog vraga" Vinnyja Paza, uvijek jedan od mojih omiljenih boraca u akciji i karizmatičnih ličnosti. Umjesto rukovanja, pozdravio me s velikim zagrljajem i izrazio razočaranje što mi se otac nije pridružio na izložbi.
U kratkom vremenskom okviru, bilo je nemoguće upoznati sve tamošnje velike borce, uključujući Michaela Spinksa, Riddick Bowe, Errol Spence, Anthony Dirrell, i Earnie Shavers. S obzirom da je vikend Cinco de Mayo, redovi za neke meksičke legende omotani oko poda kongresnog centra. Mikey Garcia, Marco Antonio Barerra, Erik Morales, i Juan Manuel Marquez pokazali su se izuzetno popularnima. Ali ništa u usporedbi s tutnjavom pro-meksičke gomile kad je predstavljen veliki Julio Cesar Chavez.
Prisustvovati ovom događaju bio je ostvaren san i mogao sam samo poželjeti da imam više vremena za provesti na događaju. Sve je bilo tako profesionalno odrađeno, a prisutni nisu bili ugodni.
Svaka čast Okvir Fan Expo za tako izuzetan događaj.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday in Las Vegas:
Manny Pacquiao
“I feel so blessed and happy because of the excitement around this fight. It’s come from the fans here in the U.S. and media all over the world. I want to go out there and make all the people happy.
“The knockout in my last fight felt good. It felt like my younger days against Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto i drugi. That fight was a big challenge for me to recover from the fight against Jeff Horn. People said that my career was done. But I never got discouraged, I just worked hard and made the knockout against Lucas Matthysse happen.
“These days I don’t only train my body, but also my mind. I’m a Senator, so my mind is very busy. I also play chess regularly and read books to keep my mind sharp.
“People writing me off after the Jeff Horn fight was good for me. I’m not mad at anyone who thought that. It just became a challenge and a test to me of whether or not I could still show my best.
“Being back here at MGM Grand makes me so happy. It’s an honor to be in this position. I remember my first fight here in the U.S. was at MGM Grand. I will never forget that moment and now I get to come back here and do it again.
“I know he is going to counter me but we’re ready for that. What happened in the Juan Manuel Marquez fight will not happen again. It was a mistake and I learned that mistake. We’ve worked on that in this training camp. I am prepared for Broner’s style.
“This is a challenge because it is my first fight as a 40-year-old. I have something to prove to everyone about what that means. Age is just a number. What matters is how you prepare and that you’re working hard.
“I don’t need to dislike my opponent to want a knockout. I’m just doing my job in the ring. Ako dođe knockout, it comes. We’re hoping to have that opportunity Saturday. I have to pressure him to make him open up. Wherever he goes, I’ll be there.
“I’ve always stayed disciplined throughout my years in boxing. I’m always making sure everything is in order and on point during my workouts. That plus cross-training with activities like basketball has helped me stay in this position all these years.”
Adrien BRONER
“I’m not up here to talk a lot of trash. I’ve put in the work. To je boriti vrijeme. After I win, everything is going to be different.
“People are talking a lot about Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather again, but I’m pretty sure Floyd is retired. I feel like people are trying to throw me to the wolves and overlook me.
“He doesn’t remind me of any past opponents just like I’m not going to remind him of anyone he’s fought. He’s never fought anyone like me. Every fighter has similarities, but truly every fighter is different. If I remind him of Floyd Mayweather, I hope his arm doesn’t hurt after this one.
“Look at my last five fights. I’ve fought world champion after world champion. I don’t duck any fights. I don’t care how many weight classes he’s won titles in.
“I’m not in awe of any fighter, especially Manny Pacquiao. I hope he’s in awe of me. I’m a one of a kind fighter too. I’ve made history in this sport.
“I just have to go out and win this fight, then everything is going to start going my way. U subotu navečer, Ja ću biti pobjednik. This is a defining moment in my career and it’s going to be one of the biggest nights of my life.
“Pacquiao hasn’t fought me so I’m not worried about what he says about me right now. He’s going to have a different outlook after he fights me Saturday night.
“I’m going to turn Las Vegas into a big block party after I win on Saturday night. It’s going to change my career.
“Manny Pacquiao has done a lot for the sport. I’m going to beat him up and have a drink with him afterward. I grew up in boxing and I know what’s going on. It’s a business, but don’t get it twisted, I’m going to dominate and win.
“This is going to be a hell of a fight. I’ve trained so hard and I want everyone to know that I play around a lot, but when that bell rings, Ja ću biti spreman. I didn’t come here to lose or lay down. I came here to get this victory. Real talk.”
BUBOY FERNANDEZ, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer
“I’m very thankful to this great team that we have that has prepared Manny for this challenge. I know that we worked very hard for this. I cannot fly without wings, but I can bring the belt back to the Philippines.
“Manny has trained hard and we expect a good fight. This is the hardest I’ve seen him train and it will be seen in the ring Saturday night”
FREDDIE Roach, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer
“We’ve trained really hard for this fight. Manny is looking really good and is in tremendous shape. I’m sure Adrien is also because they’re both great fighters. I wish both men luck and may the best man win.”
KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner’s Co-Trainer
“We’ve had a tremendous training camp. Adrien is ready to go. Everyone who knows me, knows that all I have in this world in my word, and I don’t break it for nobody. I’m giving you my word that Adrien will put on a spectacular performance on Saturday night.
“I’m guaranteeing that Adrien will send Manny back to the Senate, beltless, without the WBA title. I guarantee it.”
MIKE STAFFORD, Broner’s Co-Trainer
“Adrien came to me when he was 55 pounds and seven-years-old. He was an underdog then and he came back day after day. People thought he was a bad kid, but I told people that I saw something in him.
“Freddie Roach didn’t know who Adrien was years ago when we were getting ready to work with the Olympic team together. But he got to know Adrien, and on Saturday night, Manny is going to know him too. That’s for sure.”
JOE RAMOS, COO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions
“We are honored, humbled and proud to be a part of this amazing event. This will be Manny’s 20th fight in Las Vegas and we’ve been treated amazingly throughout the entire promotion. I’m thankful to all of Team Pacquiao for the work they do and helping make everything run smoothly.
“We all know that Adrien is ready and we expect nothing but the best from him and his team on Saturday night.
“MGM Grand is known for the lion, and Lenny the Lion is right there when you enter the building. U subotu navečer, Manny will show his heart of a lion for fans all over the world and prove once again that he’s the king of the jungle.”
LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO Mayweather Promocije
“About three and a half years ago I sat here opposite this great legend in Manny Pacquiao. I’ve studied this man for many years and today he’s still one of the best welterweights in the world. He still has tremendous explosiveness and power, but more importantly the experience to beat any welterweight in the world.
“Pacquiao has been doing this for so many years that we forget how truly great this man is. He’s in a very comfortable position right now. He’s super motivated and thats what is going to make this a great fight on Saturday night.
“Coming into this fight we all know that there have been rumblings about what Adrien needs to do to win this fight. But what I’ve witnessed firsthand this entire promotion, is that this man has dedicated himself 100 posto. He’s done everything his coaches have asked of him and he’s exceeded those expectations.
“Adrien Broner is ready, focused, and he’s put in the work. He’s put himself in the best situation to be successful on Saturday night. I expect nothing less than a great virtuoso performance. He didn’t cut one corner this training camp. He wants to prove to everyone, that everything people have said about him can be thrown out the window. He’s coming to show the entire world what he’s all about.”
RAVONE LITTLEJOHN, CEO of About Billions Promotions
“Adrien trained really hard for this fight. I’d like to thank Kevin Cunningham and Mike Stafford, they put together a great game plan. Adrien will be ready.
“There’s been a lot of talk from Pacquiao’s side about getting a knockout, but you’re the one getting knocked out. You’ve been knocked out, we haven’t.
“This our first time on this stage and in this position and it’s been very enjoyable. Adrien and I have put a lot into this over the last 10-15 godina. We’re pulling for our guy 100 percent.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Predsjednik Sport & događaj Programiranje, Showtime Networks Inc.
“I’m not going to come up here and tell you all anything you don’t already know about Manny Pacquiao or Adrien Broner. These are two guys who have operated at the highest level of boxing for years. In Manny’s case, literally decades. But I will remind you of some things.
“Manny Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer, nema sumnje o tome. He’s a boxing legend who’s generous, humble and soft-spoken outside of the ring. But most of all, he takes tough fights. The last 20 opponents Pacquiao has had have been current, future or former world champions.
“Adrien Broner has faced nine world champions in 37 borbe u karijeri. He’s obviously demonstrated himself as being an elite fighter. He’s flashy, flamboyant, sometimes outrageous, but he’s always unapologetically himself.
“On Saturday night, everything changes. Pacquiao is no longer soft-spoken and Broner is no longer fun-loving and outgoing. They transform themselves into two of the most athletically gifted and ferocious warriors in our sport. Above all these two guys have heart, which is the rarest thing in this sport.
“Between the two of them, they’ve won titles in 12 weight divisions. That’s the third most of all-time, trailing just Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya.
“We know this is an elite fight and these fighters are in elite company. But on Saturday night, none of that matters. It’s not a contest of who has the best resume. This is a high level contest with high stakes between two of the most talented and athletically gifted fighters in the sport today. A win in this fight catapults each of these men to bigger things. It doesn’t get any more significant than that.”
RICHARD STORM, President of Entertainment and Sports for MGM Resorts International
“I’d like to welcome back Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, two of the sport’s best fighters, back to Las Vegas and MGM Grand. Fans are always excited to watch these two fighters compete in the ring and we’re confident that Saturday’s event will kick off another exciting year of sports and entertainment programming for MGM Resorts.
“I’m thankful to all of the people who have helped make this fight happen here in Las Vegas. We look forward to seeing everyone at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night for this sensational event.”

LAS VEGAS(Siječanj 15, 2019) – With fight week underway in Las Vegas, former four-division world championAdrien “Problem” Bronerhosted a media workout Monday before he battlesManny Pacquiaofor the World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title Saturday, Siječanj 19 in the main event of a SHOWTIME PPV®event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Tickets for the event, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at $100, not including applicable service charges, and can be purchased online through AXS.com, charge by phone at 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.
Broner, along with trainerKevin Cunningham, have been at Barry’s Boxing in Las Vegas finishing up training camp after spending most of camp in West Palm Beach, Florida preparing to face boxing’s only eight-division world champion in Pacquiao. Here is what they had to say Monday at Barry’s Boxing:
Adrien BRONER
“Every fighter is different, but I know if I touch him flush, I’ll put him out. It’s no secret, he’s been to sleep before.
“I’m in shape and ready to go. We had a tremendous training camp. I could have made weight weeks ago. We’re prepared to go out and execute.
“I’ve been here before, and even though I haven’t been in a fight of exactly this magnitude, I’m just treating it like any other fight. He’s another opponent.
“A lot of people are saying that Pacquiao’s age will be a factor, but I’m not looking at it like that. You see guys like Floyd Mayweather who stay undefeated at an older age. I’m just focused on being me. As long as I do what I have to do, Ja ću biti pobjednik.
“We’re ready for whatever this fight is going to end up being. It could definitely be a war. I’ve always been an underdog. I came from the trenches and I’m bringing that mentality into the ring.
“I can take over boxing with a win over Pacquiao. There are a lot of great fighters in this sport, but they just don’t bring what I bring to the table. With a win like this, it would put me right where I was always meant to be.
“I’ve always wanted to fight the big names like this and I knew that I just had to keep working hard and the time would come.
“Once that bell rings, I’ll make my adjustments and go ahead and get my victory. I don’t have anything I want to go out and prove. It’s just about winning. That will say everything.”
KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner je trener
“Preparation has been great. Kamp je strašan. Adrien is ready to go and extremely focused for this fight. He came into camp that way and it’s stayed that way.
“We added some things this training camp, because we know he’s fighting a legendary fighter. This is one that he has to have and he realizes it. I expect a spectacular performance.
“I think on Saturday night that Adrien is going to be that guy that everyone expected him to be from day one. It will open a lot of eyes. I believe that we put the work in. I can’t see Adrien coming out of there without a victory.
“The key to victory is for Adrien to just be himself. He has to do what he does best with no hesitation. He’s going to throw the right punches at the right time.
“Pacquiao still throws combinations but they don’t come in as fast or as sharp as they used to. He can throw as many punches as he wants to throw, but if they’re not landing, it doesn’t mean anything.
“I think Adrien is the quicker fighter. Quickness offsets speed, all day, every day. It’s all about being quick enough to time the guy with your hand speed. It’s different than just throwing a bunch of fast punches.”
