Quick video intro här:

Förra helgens mellanvikt titel uppgörelse mellan Canelo Alvarez och Daniel Jacobs presenterade också den årliga Box Fan Expo, hölls på Las Vegas Convention Center. Den fantastiska MINNESTECKEN på display och levande amatörboxning åtgärder kompletteras en rad tidigare och nuvarande världsmästare kämpar för snabb träffas och hälsar.
Som en livslång boxning fan, Det var synd att jag bara hade lite mer än två timmar att spendera på händelsen innan tillbaka till T-Mobile Arena för starten av undercard skjutningarna. Tiden jag kunde spendera var grundligt njutbar. Priserna var rimliga för att möta dessa BOXNINGS- legender och har en stund att prata och ta foton. Genomsnittet $20 -$25 priset för ett foto op var betydligt mindre än vad som skulle ha gått förlorade på kasinot i en enda roulette spin.
James Toney var där i en kostym, bevisar att han till och med kan göra pläd se snygg. För en kille känd för en buttre natur, Han var mycket tillmötesgående och nämnde han kommer att vara i Philadelphia för en live show juni 7 och hoppas att se mig där.
I montern nästa över var Hall-of-Fame programföretaget Al Berstein, vem jag hade förmånen att intervjua 2011. Då berättade om min beundran av hans stilrena arbete och är ett fan sedan hans dagar med Barry Tompkins på ESPN: s torsdag kväll Fights, Han var ödmjuk och uppskattande.
Linjen att möta Roy Jones Jr. var lång men värt att vänta. Medan tid att prata med Roy var kort, Jag kunde tala om vad en ära det var att träffa en av de största artisterna i min generation och hur jag satt bara ett par fötter från honom när han var på Creed II set.
Även linjen för att möta den legendariske Sugar Ray Leonard var exceptionellt lång, man kunde se att han verkligen åtnjuter själv, blinkande att miljoner dollar leende och gör sitt berömda nävar-upp foto op med fans. Tyvärr, med tiden ont, I did not have the opportunity to meet one of my favorite fighters growing up. I would have loved to have shown him a photo when I was four-years-old, swinging away on the Sugar Ray Leonard punching bag I was given.
A few feet away was one of Sugar Ray’s most-famous rivals, the great Thomas “Hitman” Hearns. While the Hitman has shown some slowing as he has aged, he still proves to be an imposing figure, but he now replaces that fearsome glare with a warm smile.
Also coming up to meet Thomas Hearns was current IBF Super-Featherweight Champion Tevin Farmer, a fellow Philadelphian, who I’ve had the opportunity to watch grow from a 7-4-1 journeyman boxer to a 29-4-1 världsmästare.
Mitt besök skulle inte vara komplett utan att stanna för att se ”The Pazmanian Devil” Vinny Paz, alltid en av mina favorit action soldater och karismatiska personligheter. I stället för ett handslag, Han hälsade mig med en stor kram och uttryckte besvikelse över att min pappa inte ansluta mig på mässan.
På kort tidsram, det var omöjligt att uppfylla alla de stora fighters där bland annat Michael Spinks, Riddick Bowe, Errol Spence, Anthony Dirrell, och Earnie Rakapparater. Med det är Cinco de Mayo helgen, linjerna för en del av de mexikanska legender lindade runt kongresscentret golvet. Mikey Garcia, Marco Antonio Barerra, Erik Morales, och Juan Manuel Marquez alla visade sig vara exceptionellt populär. Men ingenting jämfört med bruset av pro-mexikanska publiken när den stora Julio Cesar Chavez infördes.
Delta denna händelse var en dröm och jag kunde bara önskar att jag hade mer tid att spendera på händelsen. Allt var så professionellt gjort och de närvarande var bortom tillmötesgående.
Kudos till Box Fan Expo för en sådan exceptionell händelse.

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 och andra. 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. Om knockout kommer, 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. Det är kampen tid. 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. lördagkväll, Jag kommer att segra. 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, I’m going to be ready. 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 MÖRT, 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. På lördag kväll, 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, VD för Mayweather Promotions
“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. Han är i en mycket bekväm ställning just nu. Han super motiverad och brinner vad som kommer att göra detta till en stor kamp på lördag kväll.
“Kommande i denna kamp som vi alla vet att det har varit Mullret om vad Adrien behöver göra för att vinna denna kamp. Men vad jag har sett med egna ögon hela denna befordran, är att denne man har ägnat sig 100 procent. Han har gjort Allt hans tränare har bett honom och han har överskridit dessa förväntningar.
“Adrien Broner är klar, fokuserade, och han satte i arbetet. Han satte sig i bästa läget för att lyckas på lördag kväll. Jag förväntar mig inget mindre än en stor virtuos prestanda. Han ville inte klippa ett hörn här träningsläger. han vill bevisa för alla, 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 Little, 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 år. We’re pulling for our guy 100 percent.”
STEPHEN ESPINOZA, President Sports & händelse Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.
“Jag är inte kommer att komma upp här och berätta allt något du inte redan vet om Manny Pacquiao eller Adrien Broner. Det är två killar som har varit verksamma vid den högsta nivån av boxning år. I Manny fall, bokstavligen decennier. Men Jag kommer att påminna om vissa saker.
“Manny Pacquiao är en Hall of fame, ingen tvekan om det. Han är en boxning legend som är generös, ödmjuk och mjuk-talad utsidan av ringen. Men mest av allt, han tar tuffa slagsmål. Den sista 20 motståndare Pacquiao har haft har varit aktuell, framtida eller tidigare världsmästare.
“Adrien Broner har haft nio världsmästare i 37 karriär slagsmål. Han är uppenbarligen visat sig själv som en elit jaktplan. Han är flashiga, flamboyant, ibland upprörande, men han är alltid unapologetically själv.
“På lördag kväll, allting förändras. Pacquiao är inte längre lågmäld och Broner är inte längre lättroad och utgående. De förvandla sig till två av de mest atle begåvade och våldsamma krigare i vår sport. Framför allt dessa två killar har hjärta, vilket är den mest sällsynta sak i den här sporten.
“Mellan båda två, de har vunnit titlar i 12 viktklasser. Det är den tredje de flesta av all-time, avslutande just Mayweather vs. Pacquiao och Pacquiao vs. La Hoya.
“Vi vet att detta är en elit kamp och dessa soldater är i elit företag. men om lördag kväll, ingen av att frågor. Det är inte en tävling om vem som har den bästa återuppta. Detta är en hög nivå tävling med höga insatser mellan två av de mest begåvade och atletiskt begåvade fighters i sporten idag. 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(Januari 15, 2019) – With fight week underway in Las Vegas, former four-division world championAdrien “Problemet” Bronerhosted a media workout Monday before he battlesManny Pacquiaofor the World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title Saturday, Januari 19 i den viktigaste händelsen i en Showtime PPV®händelse från MGM Grand Garden Arena i 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, Jag kommer att segra.
“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 s Trainer
“Preparation has been great. Camp har varit enorm. 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.”
