Floyd Mayweather MEDIA TELEKONFERENCE UDSKRIFT

Efterlad en kommentar

Kelly Swanson

Tak, alle, for joining us today. Today on the call we have none other than ‘TBE’ the greatest fighter on the earth, Floyd Mayweather, 11-time World Champion. We also have Leonard Ellerbe, Direktør, Mayweather Promotions. Leonard, please start with the introductions. Tak.

 

Leonard Ellerbe

Tak, alle, for joining us on the call. We’ll jump right into this without further ado. None other than Floyd Mayweather himself.

 

Floyd Mayweather

Hey, how is everyone doing? I want to thank Leonard. I want to thank Kelly. I want to thank my team. I want to thank all the media from around the world that have been covering this fight. I want to thank everyone, I just want to say that you guys are doing a great job and I appreciate you.

 

Q

That thing on SportsCenter the other night, when you were talking about your place in boxing history and you said you thought you were greater than Muhammad Ali. Can you expand on your reasons why you feel that way?

 

F. Mayweather

I just feel like, like I said before, I take my hat off and then acknowledge all of the past champions. Er, I think he was a legend. I respect Ali like I respect any other champion. I just feel like I’ve done everything I can do in this sport over my whole life, for 30-something years. I feel like I’ve done just as much in this sport as Ali did.

 

There’s no disrespect to him. I just feel like, when you look at it, Ali was great in one weight class, which is heavyweight. But he stood up for a good cause; he stood up for a hell of a cause in his era.

 

I think that it’s hard for a guy to beat me. I’m still sharp, still very, very sharp at the age of 38. Still going strong at the age of 38. There’s no disrespect to Ali, as I said before. I just feel like I’m the best, no different from how he called himself ‘The Greatest,’ I call myself ‘TBE.’

 

I’m pretty sure that I will get criticized for what I said, but I can care less. I couldn’t care less about the backlash. I believe what I believe like he probably got criticized at one particular time when he said that he was the greatest. He felt like he was better than Sugar Ray Robinson. The list goes on and on. I’m pretty sure there’s going to be another fighter that’s going to come along and say he’s better than Floyd Mayweather and he’s going to get criticized.

 

Q

Do you think that Manny Pacquiao believes anything that Freddie Roach is saying when it comes to the bad guy and all this other stuff? Or do you think he’s just blowing smoke?

 

F. Mayweather

I’m not going to speak negative about Freddie Roach. I don’t have to at all. If I say something about the guy, they’re going to think Floyd is picking on a guy, who is not 100 percent healthy.

 

Derefter, if I comment on some of the stuff he says, he’s making this basically a God and devil type thing. The best way to handle a situation like that, is not to say anything at all, if you don’t have anything positive to say. He don’t have to get in there and fight, so when it comes down to it, it’s up to the two fighters.

 

He’s entitled to say what he wants to say, but the fighter is not speaking like that. I couldn’t care less because it comes down to the two fighters. I wish Freddie Roach nothing but the best; I don’t have anything negative to say about him. I’m truly blessed to be where I’m at and I’m thankful to be where I’m at.

 

Q

The magnitude of this fight, I know you treat it like just another fight, but what about your team? How has your team dealt with the press?

 

F. Mayweather

Jeg er meget glad, like I said before. A little bit of everything got me to this point. Everybody played a major key. I try to keep my team grounded. People talk about the money. That plays a major key. My place in history plays a major key. Performing well plays a major key. Everything plays a major, major key.

 

I just try to keep my team grounded and try to keep them focused and just try to teach them every day how to go out there and fish for themselves. That’s the only thing I try to teach my team. I tell them to stay positive, and what I’ve heard was keep a positive environment around myself, which keeps me comfortable and happy.

 

Q

Are you excited at any point of this fight? I know you say you treat this like a job, but are you excited to finally get in the ring and have this fight happen?

 

F. Mayweather

It’s just like I said before. I’m not really going crazy. It’s just a fight to me. I know it’s the biggest fight in boxing history, but I can’t approach it like that because I’m not going to put any unnecessary pressure on myself.

 

He’s a fighter that’s extremely talented, he’s a very good fighter also, and my thing is just to be Floyd Mayweather. People actually don’t know, how is this fight going to be fought? I can’t say. Like I said before, I’m not a psychic. I cannot predict the future. But I will be at my best May 2ND.

Q

Listen, if you believe Bob Arum, this fight might not happen. That there’s issues with tickets, there’s the contract has not been signed, whatever. Do you know anything about that?

 

F. Mayweather

When it comes to the business side, that’s for Leonard Ellerbe. I don’t try to worry about tickets; I try to worry about the guy that’s in front of in me, which is going to be Manny Pacquiao. That’s my whole focus. Tickets are something I don’t really deal with.

 

Q

Have you trained harder for any previous fight than you have for this one, and would that be down to your respect for Manny or the fact that you need to work a bit harder the older you get?

 

F. Mayweather

When you’re trying to perform, when you’re at this level, you always want to perform extremely well. You don’t want to overtrain. You want to train to where you know you’re completely ready. Go out there and be at just 100 procent. As far as this training camp, I’ve trained extremely hard. I believe that we’ll just see how everything plays out.

 

Q

I’m hearing reports, Floyd, that you’re looking stronger and fitter than ever.

 

F. Mayweather

Godt, some people say that, you might not believe that depending on who is telling you. Forhåbentlig. Hopefully I am. We’ll just have to see. That’s why I’m at this level, at the pinnacle of my career, because I’ve been pushing myself for so long and working so hard.

 

Q

Can I just ask you about Amir Khan? Is he still in your plans?

F. Mayweather

My focus right now is the guy that’s in front of me. My last fight is in September. I never want to overlook anyone. I believe you take it one fighter at a time. As of right now, Manny Pacquaio is the guy that’s in front of me, and that’s my focus.

 

Q

My question is regarding, Manny Pacquiao has said he thinks it’s Floyd’s time to lose. He’s almost implying that it’s maybe, God is on his side. I was wondering how you think, if God actually does care who wins prizefights?

 

F. Mayweather

I actually believe God loves us all. The people that are on this call, every writer, every fighter, every athlete that goes out there and competes. God loves us all. Igen, Jeg er en fighter. What I do, I’m a professional prizefighter. I believe in God and I love God. I don’t think God takes sides.

 

Q

Lot of stuff gets reported in the fourth or the sixth weeks leading up to this. We don’t always get a chance to ask you yourself, so I want to give you the opportunity. Is there anything that was reported that you want to clear up that you want to actually say no, that isn’t true, you guys got it wrong?

 

F. Mayweather

Do Not, nothing at all. Because once my career is over, that’s when I’m going to read everything, anyway, all the articles that people have written. When I come home, I leave boxing at the boxing gym. When I go to the gym or when I go to train, I work. I dedicate myself to my craft.

 

When I come home and I’m not on the computer, I’m not looking at myself. I’m not buying magazine covers with me on the cover. I’m not on the computer looking up articles. I could care less about all that. My job is to go out there and perform and be at my best, and be the best that I can be in the sport of boxing.

 

Q

My question for you is, in your opinion, what would a victory against Pacquiao do for your legacy? And then how much would it enhance your legacy.

 

F. Mayweather

It’s just another fight. I just look at the situation. He’s another guy that I faced. You’re just going to say in history, that these two faced each other at one particular time. It was hard to make the fight happen, eventually they made the fight happen, and we faced each other.

 

Q

Do you believe, selv, that a victory would in some way enhance your legacy?

 

F. Mayweather

I’m not sure, because I’m not the one that’s putting myself in the history books.

 

Q

Do you think it’s true that the winner of the fight will be declared, in essence, by the public, as the king of this era?

 

F. Mayweather

I can’t really say. I don’t really know. Just look at Ali’s career. When he fought, he looked like the best when he fought. I think he lost seven fights. When I got older I noticed that he lost seven fights and lost some other fight that he lost. He still was known as the greatest. Because that’s what he put out there. Så, that’s what it is.

 

Q

The wonderment on a lot of people’s minds is when the career is over, will you have enough money for the rest of your life? Do you ever worry about losing at all?

 

F. Mayweather

Jeg er velsignet. I made some good investments to where if I wanted to retire today, I could.

 

Q

That means there’s no fear of bankruptcy whatsoever in terms of the gambling and the other involvements that you’ve spent?

 

F. Mayweather

I made some good investments, and if I wanted to retire today, I could.

 

Q

My question is, you said at the press conference that you though that Pacquiao was surprised at how much bigger you were than him. Can you talk a little bit about that, and then also some of the strategic aspects of being the bigger fighter in the ring on Maj 2?

 

F. Mayweather

Normally when I face an opponent, they normally outweighed me by 17 til 20 pounds on fight nights. This has been going on for a good while now. You can read a guy’s body language. When Pacquiao first saw me in Miami, he didn’t expect to see me over there at the basketball game. He looked shocked, lignende, ‘Damn, he is taller than me. He’s bigger than what I thought he was.’ Just being in the sport for so long, you’re able to read body language; you’re able to read a fighter’s eyes.

 

Q

Do you feel that some of the trash talking is Freddie Roach being nervous about the fight and trying to get a psychological edge on you?

 

F. Mayweather

I’m not fighting Freddie Roach, so I’m not worried about that at all. Freddie Roach, he’s Pacquiao’s trainer and he’s going to do what he has to do for his fighter to win. If that’s trying to get an edge, then that’s what he should do.

 

Q

All of your other fights, you’ve always been a very vocal, always been a vocal fighter. Why the silence this time?

 

F. Mayweather

This is exactly what I’ve said. Even in my interviews, I’ve said we had to bring a game plan. Even from day one when I was with Bob Arum, I said I wanted to work extremely hard to get to a certain point in my career, which is to get to a point to be the first fighter to ever make nine figures in one night.

 

It took a game plan to me going out there on my own. It’s just me speaking out with a very, very loud voice. Having a lot of personality. But as you get older, you mature. After trash talking for 17, 18 år, and constantly saying, look what I’ve done. Se på mig. Se på mig. You know what I’m saying? Jeg er den bedste. Se på mig. And everybody they’ve put in front of me I’ve beaten.

 

I’m at a point where you just say, du ved, hvad? Det er hvad det er. I know what I can do. Jeg ved, hvad jeg bringer til bordet. God has truly blessed me to be in this situation. I have a good team. My children are healthy, so I don’t have to do all that.

 

It’s more like I did all that loud talking and everything to get to a certain point. I’ve still got a lot of personality, I did what I had to do to get to a certain point in my career, og det er hvad jeg gjorde. It was a brilliant game plan.

 

Q

From your personal point of view, how has this fight and this promotion been different from the many other big events that you’ve been a part of?

 

F. Mayweather

It’s actually been kind of the same. It’s just a little bit over the top, but I just try to stay relaxed. That’s my main thing. It’s a very, very huge event. I can remember every day.

 

Sometimes I think about when Mike Tyson got out of prison and he was boxing, and when he was fighting at the MGM Grand. I would go to the MGM Grand, because I wasn’t a professional at that particular time. Just starting. I would go to the MGM Grand and some people would know me so I would take pictures and just sign a few autographs. Jeg var ligesom, en, MGM Grand would never be this packed again. That’s what I thought. Jeg var kun 19 years old at that particular time. That was in ’96. I kept believing though. I always believed that I could do record-breaking numbers. I just needed the right team with me and it took a little bit of everything. The right fights, the right team, and we made it happen.

 

Q

Beyond all the trash talk and salesmanship, you’ve always been a guy that, når det kommer til stykket, is very respectful of his opponents. I think it’s part of your secret. Is there anything that you admire about Manny Pacquiao, either the fighter or the person?

 

F. Mayweather

Godt, he’s got to this point by doing something right. It’s obvious he’s done something right to get to this point. I have to respect that.

 

Q

The Filipino fans are expecting or hoping for a very aggressive Manny in the ring. Is this something that you’re training for, or are you just going in the ring to fight your fight, make the adjustments along the way as you have so successfully throughout your career?

 

F. Mayweather

If you’re basically asking what’s my game plan, my game plan is to win. That’s actually what my game plan has always been is to win.

 

Q

A lot of the animosity from the Filipino fans towards you is not directed to you as a great boxer, but more as someone who can put an end towards a Filipino hero’s career. Do you honestly believe that you would put an end to a Filipino hero’s career?

 

F. Mayweather

Godt, my thing is this. I’ve heard that we’re all God’s children, whether you’re American, Filipino, African, Dominican, Asian, we’re all God’s children. People are going to root for who they want to root for and simple and plain I’m pretty sure I’ve got Filipino fans that like me, and I’m pretty sure that you’ve got some black American fans that like Pacquiao.

 

I never try to focus on anything like that. My focus is to give the people what they really want to see. Just facing the facts. That’s what I’ve done throughout my career. He’s one of the last guys, he’s one of the last good fighters of this era. It’s a fight that has to happen, and I’m glad that the fight is happening.

 

Q

How much strength and effort and support from family does it take to get you where you are right now?

 

F. Mayweather

Godt, the support came a lot. I had a hell of a supporting cast to get to this point, before I became a professional. There’s this guy that I never talk about to anyone. I never say anything about him to anyone. And he’s doing extremely badly right now, not financially but health-wise. I believe he’s lost his memory, which hurts extremely bad. A guy by the name of Frank Brown, I’ve known him since I was the age of three.

 

He has supported me more than anyone. He has always said that, “Floyd, one day you will be the best fighter in the world.” He’s always taking me to church, taking me through different activities. He was like a grandfather to me. Frank Brown. When I used to fight, he would drive anywhere. It could be in Little Rock, Arkansas. He would drive from Grand Rapids, Michigan to come support me. He would sit in the room with me and say prayers with me.

 

He’s a guy that I would never forget, because he was there from the age of three until after I fought De La Hoya, because he’s up there in age now. He eventually lost his memory, so he’s at a home. He’s at an old folks’ hjem. It really hurts, but I love that guy so much. I think about him all the time.

 

K. Swanson

Okay, that’s our last question. Tak, alle, for joining us. Floyd, any final comments?

 

F. Mayweather

I just want to tell everybody, thank you for all the stories, and all the articles you guys wrote. Mange tak. My team appreciates you all, as well as myself. Tak.

Mayweather-Pacquiao Undercard-opdatering: Sid El Harrak venter spændt på Pearson Showdown!

Efterlad en kommentar

Los Angeles, F.EKS (April 22, 2015) - På mindre end to uger, Sid El Harrak får chancen for at ændre sit livs- og boksekarriere, når han står over for ubesejret Chris Pearson som en del af det historiske Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao-kort på MGM Grand i Las Vegas.

 

At forberede sig til en gang-i-livet-mulighed, El Harrak dedikerede al sin tid til forskellige aspekter af træning. Fra cardio til styrke og konditionering, skarpe sine færdigheder i gymnastiksalen og intense sparring sessioner, den californiske Londoner dækker alt, hvad man kan forestille sig. Mest vigtigt, han mener, at de udmattende træningssessioner, han har gennemgået på begge Wild Card Boxing Gym-lokationer, allerede har betalt sig.

 

”Det er meget vigtigt at have rigelig tid til at træne til en kamp, ​​og det er ikke noget, jeg har haft hele min karriere,"Said El Harrak, der er 12-2-2 med 7 vinder ved knockout. "Mentalt, jeg føler 100 procent klar til at gå derude og skinne i den største kamp i mit liv. Jeg arbejder stadig hårdt på at afbalancere alt, så verden ser det bedste Sid El Harrak næste lørdag."

 

Han elsker også at blive betragtet som underdog mod 11-0 og kraftigt hyped Pearson.

 

”Jeg er meget stolt og ved at vide, at jeg kommer ind i denne kamp, ​​da B-siden skubber mig så meget mere. Jeg elsker det faktum, at Pearson skulle være "fyren" i denne kamp. Hvis jeg kæmpede med hvem han gjorde, Jeg ville være ubesejret. Samtidig, havde han stået over for de modstandere, jeg gjorde under de samme omstændigheder, han ville have et par tab. For at være ærlig, Jeg er træt af at tænke på ham. Dette er det mest ivrige efter, at jeg har kæmpet i min karriere, og jeg kan ikke vente med at vise alle, hvad jeg kan gøre i maj 2ND!"

 

El Harrak-Pearson ti runde junior mellemvægt kamp bliver tv-udsendt på forskellige netværk over hele verden.

147-PUNDVÆGTKLASSEN TAGER CENTRALET igen LØRDAG, MAJ 2 PÅ MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
I endnu et klassisk showdown

I Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (April 20, 2015) — Det er ofte blevet sagt “som divisionen med tungvægt går, så går boksning,” men det har ikke altid været tilfældet og, faktisk, er måske ikke engang gyldig, når den ses fra et omfattende perspektiv, der går helt tilbage til det sene 19th århundrede. I Boksning, Den tyske forfatter Bertram Jobs episke, 420-side sofabord afhandling om alle aspekter af den søde videnskab, han skriver det, “Elegance er varemærket for de slanke og smidige stjerner i en vægtklasse under 147 pund, der har tiltrukket sig insidere og beundrere af skønhed som ingen anden.”

 

Og så er det med, hvad der vil være en anden benchmarkpost i divisionens rige historie, hvornår, påMaj 2 at MGM Grand i Las Vegas, lever på pay-per-view, weltervægt mester Floyd “Penge” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOS) tager på kollega titliste Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 KOS) i et længe forventet foreningsmøde, der bliver den rigeste priskamp i sportens historie, og som har trukket sammenligninger med nogle af de førende matchups i en vægtklasse præget med det elegante varemærke, som Job henviste til.

 

Selvom Pacquiao, den eneste fighter nogensinde, der har vundet verdensmesterskaber i otte vægtklasser, og Mayweather, der har regeret i fem vægtklasser, har ikke udelukkende eller endda mest været kampagne som weltervægte, det er næppe en overraskelse, at det vigtigste kryds i deres bemærkelsesværdige karriere kommer i samme division, som så mange af boksens største legender primært er kendt for.

 

Den “guldstandarden” som alle weltervægte stræber efter er den sene, store Sugar Ray Robinson. Født Walker Smith Jr., det tynde barn, der aldrig havde kæmpet i en sanktioneret kamp på noget niveau, var en tag-sammen med træner George Gainford til en amatorturnering i Kingston, N.Y.. Han blev spurgt, om han havde en flyvevægt, han ønskede at komme ind, Gainford var ved at sige nej, da Smith tog i ærmet og sagde, “Jeg kæmper.” Som det viste sig, Gainford havde et AAU-kort – du havde brug for en for at blive certificeret som ikke-professionel – i navnet Ray Robinson, en af ​​hans boksere, der havde opgivet sporten. Smith / Robinson vandt en fire-runde beslutning, og, skønt ingen vidste det dengang, således blev en legende født.

 

Robinson var 85-0 som amatør, inden han bliver professionel 19 i 1940. Ved 1951, han var 128-1-2 med 84 knockout sejre. Selvom han også huskes for at vinde mellemvægtstitlen fem gange, Robinson tabte aldrig som en weltervægt, vinder så ofte og så eftertrykkeligt, at den legendariske træner, Eddie Futch, blev bevæget for at observere det, “Han havde alt. Boksning færdigheder, stansning magt, en stor hage, mental styrke. Der var intet, han ikke kunne gøre.”

 

Robinson havde også et overdimensioneret ego, som måske er en nødvendig komponent til enhver storkæmpers mentale makeup. Selv et spor af tvivl om ens egen evne er ikke befordrende for succes i ringen. Enkelt gang, når du bliver spurgt om hans “golfspil,” Muhammad Ali, der ikke spillede golf, svarede, “Jeg er den bedste, største af dem alle. Jeg har bare ikke spillet endnu.”

 

Mayweather bringer bestemt den aura af uovervindelighed til sit arbejde, og måske ikke bare fordi han endnu ikke har tabt som professionel. I 2013, sagde han, “Selvfølgelig føler jeg mig uovervindelig. Jeg er den bedste. Jeg går ikke ud i nogen kamp for at finde ud af, at jeg er beatable. Jeg vil skabe en arv for mig selv som den største fighter, der nogensinde er kommet ind i ringen.”

 

Pacquiao, mens det måske ikke er så detaljeret, er ikke mindre sikker i sit eget trossystem. Det er de dybe talenter og talent, der får Mayweather vs.. Pacquiao en must-see begivenhed. Hvilke af disse fremragende krigere kan få den anden til at bøje sig efter hans vilje? Hvem får hans navn skrevet med større tryk i den store bog med weltervægte?

 

International Boxing Hall of Fame er optaget 23 krigere, der var, på et eller andet tidspunkt, weltervægtsmestre. Ud over Robinson, dem, hvis plaques pryder den hellige hall, inkluderer Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen Basilio, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Napoles, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Kid” Lewis og “Mystisk” Billy Smith. Mayweather og Pacquiao er selvfølgelig sikre på at slutte sig til deres rækker, så snart de bliver kvalificerede til at gå på afstemningen.

 

Indledningen til Mayweather vs.. Pacquiao har ikke genereret nogen mangel på sammenligninger med tidligere veltervægtskonflikter, der er bemærkelsesværdige for de klassiske karakterer af disse anfald, den udbredte offentlige interesse, der følger dem, eller begge.

 

Er Mayweather vs.. Pacquiao mere sandsynligt at være en gentagelse af, sige, Leonard-Duran I, som Duran vandt på en ophidsende enstemmig beslutning i juni 25, 1980, i Montreal? Den episke Leonard-Hearns I, på Sept. 16, 1981, som så Leonard, efterfølgende på scorecards, rally for en dramatisk, 14th-runde TKO ved Caesars Palace? Trinidads kontroversielle flertalsafgørelse over De La Hoya i deres sept. 18, 1999, foreningsmøde ved Mandalay Bay? Eller vil det sætte sit eget præg på en så markant måde, at der ikke kan eller skal foretages nogen sammenligning?

 

Når det kommer til uforglemmelige anfald af weltervægt, nu skal det være indlysende, at alt og alt er muligt. Mayweather og Pacquiao vil lave historie, og tilføj det, ved at forsøge at bøje skæbnen hver til deres eget formål.

Vil Mayweather vs.. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Efterlad en kommentar

Ved: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Penge” Mayweather Jr.. (47-0, 26 KOS) og Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOS) er indstillet til sammenstød den 2. maj, 2015 i en af ​​de mest hypede kampe i boksehistorien. Denne kamp er så enorm, at de er lige planlægger at sælge billetter til vejningen på grund af problemer med crowd control. Provenuet går ikke til arrangørerne eller bokserne, selv. Det hele går til velgørenhed. Stadig, dette er en første for staten Nevada, hvilket traditionelt kræver, at alle vejninger er gratis for fans at deltage i.

Niveauet af forventning omkring denne kamp havde lang tid at opbygge. For den bedre del af det sidste årti, disse to pund-for-pund juggernauts kunne ikke få denne kamp til at ske af den ene latterlige grund efter den anden. Som en der deltog personligt i nogle af Mayweathers offentlige træning i Vegas, Jeg kan bevidne det faktum, at den ubesejrede weltervægtsmester gentagne gange og ubarmhjertigt citerede Pacquiaos nægtelse af at gennemgå blodprøve i olympisk stil, da han blev spurgt om de forsøg, der blev gjort for at få denne kamp underskrevet for over fem år siden.

Mayweather kom endda med en lille rap-tekst til at udtrykke problemet i enkle vendinger:

“Hvis du vil kæmpe bedst, du skal tage testen,” han bælte ud under en sit-up-session på en af ​​de åbne træningsprogrammer.

Pacquiao ændrede sin melodi på testningen og overvandt den største forhindring af alle, da han mødtes personligt med Mayweather og aftalte, at han ville være den “B” side og bør derfor få en mindre split af pungen. Som videoen ovenfor skitserer, Mayweather var derefter i stand til at dominere forhandlingsprocessen.

Selvom eksperter stadig siger, at denne kamp vil være den største i sportens historie, spørgsmålet skal stilles, hvis denne parring sker for sent i begge krigers karriere, for at det bliver så spændende som nogle eksperter forudsiger, at det vil være.

Det var altid klart for mig, at denne kamp ville ske, men det blev tydeligt, at jo længere tid det tog at underskrive kontrakterne, jo bedre ville Floyds chancer for at vinde være. Stadig, Floyd indrømmede i 2012 at den virkelige grund til, at han ikke ønskede at bekæmpe Pacquiao skyldtes sundhedsmæssige bekymringer. Han benægtede at være bange, kalder sig selv “smart” for først at tænke på sin familie og hans helbred. Stadig, han insisterede på, at hovedårsagen til, at hans helbred ville være i fare i denne kamp, ​​var hvis Pacquiao virkelig lavede steroider, som Mayweather hævdede og endte med at blive sagsøgt. De to slog sig ud af retten, og kampen er nu forestående, så nogle fans tror, ​​det hele er vand under broen. Andre er bare forværrede, at vi var nødt til at vente så længe på, at denne kamp kom i opfyldelse.

Boxing Legend Marvin Hagler kommenterede endda for nylig, at Mayweather ventede, indtil Pacquiao blev ældre lidt mere, før han underskrev for at bekæmpe ham. Hagler sammenlignede Mayweather's taktik med Sugar Ray Leonard og ventede på, indtil Hagler blev lidt “blød” sig selv, før de underskrev deres kampkontrakt. Denne kamp viste sig at være meget kontroversiel og efterlod Hagler meget bitter over den sport, der gjorde ham berømt.

Så, May-Pac-kampen vil ske, og Mayweather er den åbenlyse favorit. For at lære mere om spil siden i denne historie, tjek Boksning på William Hill-webstedet. Den største udbetaling for enhver heldig spiller bliver et vellykket væddemål på Pacquiao, men det er let at spekulere på, om Pacquiao virkelig er for gammel til at vinde denne gang. Trods alt, der er masser af bekymringer med Mannys kalvemuskler, der griber op, og angiveligt bruger han en helende creme, der koster tusindvis af dollars pr. flaske til at løse problemet.

Mayweather (38) er faktisk den ældre fighter, men den 36-årige Mannys kæmpede 17 flere anfald i pro-rækkerne og vil sandsynligvis være den mest aktive puncher “Penge” nogensinde står over for. Mayweather's normalt spektakulære og overvældende defensive dygtighed kan bare blive testet.

Denne kamp er muligvis ikke værd at hver øre, du bruger på billetter eller Pay-Per-View-feedet, men det faktum, at det endelig sker, er stadig specielt. Det vil stadig være en kamp, ​​som boksefans overalt i verden kan nyde og sætte pris på. Det er i sidste ende op til krigerne at bevise, at de begge er op til opgaven med at sikre, at denne kamp lever op til forventningerne. Chancerne er, Floyd vil gøre sit bedste for at forlade MGM Grand med en begivenhedsfri sejr. Lad os bare håbe Pacquiao har nok tilbage i tanken til at sikre, at dette er den mest konkurrencedygtige kamp, ​​Mayweather nogensinde har været i. Det er måske ikke det mest passende tidspunkt for denne kamp at ske, men det er meget bedre at få det sent end aldrig.

“Headlining in my hometown of Las Vegas is always a great thrill and I will not disappoint all the people who come out to watch me fight,” Said Smith. “I have aspirations of getting another world title belt and this fight is my first step towards getting another opportunity.”

 

“I’m thrilled to get back in the ring and show the world what ‘The Treasure’ handler om,” said Theophane. “This is a tremendous opportunity for me and I am going to make the most of it.”

 

“While the fight the whole world is waiting for takes place Lørdag, Mayweather Promotions is extremely pleased to put on a great night of fights at Palms Casino Resort just days before,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO for Mayweather Promotions. “Ishe Smith is an accomplished former world champion and Ashley Theophane is an exciting welterweight who always comes to fight.”

 

“We’re thrilled to host another great match with Mayweather Promotions,” sagde Billy Conn, Vice President for underholdning og særlige arrangementer for The Pearl på Palms Casino Resort. “There’s a lot of excitement in the air for boxing fans and this is a great opportunity to see some amazing fighters leading up to the big fight.”

 

After a long career that saw him go from the world of reality television as a star on “The Contender” to competing at the top level at 154 og 160 pounds, Smith, 36, finally put it all together in 2010, beginning a four-fight winning streak that culminated in a decision win over Cornelius Bundrage for the IBF super welterweight world title in Feb. 2013, becoming the first native Las Vegan to ever win a world title. He subsequently lost his title on September 14, 2013 by a close split decision to the always-tough Carlos Molina. A knockout victory Ryan Davis gave Smith another title shot as he challenged Erislandy Lara in Dec. 2014. Smith fought well but was beaten by Lara via unanimous decision.

 

Efter en forlænget amatør karriere, hvor han konkurrerede i næsten 100 slagsmål, McCalla is looking to bounce back from his first career defeat when he battles Smith. He dropped a narrow split-decision in Jan. 2015 to Chris van Heerden but had won his previous 20 bouts to start his pro career. The 30-year-old fights out of Baltimore and will make his Las Vegas boxing debut on April 30.

 

En erfaren udfordrer fra London, men kæmper ud af Las Vegas, Theophane is looking to build on his current four fight win streak when he enters the ring on April 30. The 34-year-old has been in the ring with many 140 og 147-pund kandidater herunder Danny Garcia og Pablo Cesar Cano, taber ved smalle split-beslutning om at både. Most recently he dominated Miguel Zuniga on his way to a unanimous decision in Dec. 2014.

 

Sporting a 55-5 rekord som amatør, the heavy-fisted Montes looks to make it back-to-back wins when he takes on Theophane. The 25-year-old is experienced beyond his years as he has fought frequently since turning pro in 2006. He earned a shot at former world champion Humberto Soto in 2013 but dropped the bout by unanimous decision. Most recently the fighter out of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico defeated previously undefeated Diego Cruz in Oct. 2014.

 

A threat to deliver a big knockout every time he enters the ring, Gavril hopes to bounce back from his first professional loss when he battles Hunter. The 28-year-old dropped a close decision to longtime contender Elvin Ayala on March 28 but had previously won nine of his first 11 pro fights by knockout. Born in Romania, but fighting out of Las Vegas, Gavril looks to get back on the right track on April 30.

 

The 28-year-old Jæger has lost his last three fights but has certainly faced tough competition having battled undefeated fighters in 13 of his pro fights. Fighting out of Seattle, Hunter will look to pull off an upset on April 30 i Las Vegas.

Over 300 media from around the globe flocked to Wild Card Boxing Club to ask the trio about Pacquiao’s Maj 2 welterweight world championship unification battle against undefeatedFLOYD “Penge” MAYWEATHER JR. (47-0, 26 KOS), på MGM Grand Garden Arena i Las Vegas.

What Pacquiao, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum and Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach sagdeOnsdag:

 

MANNY PACQUIAO, Eight-Division World Champion

 

“I feel very excited for the fight.

 

“I have a lot of sparring partners that are similar to Floyd’s fighting style, we have done well. We know what to expect.

 

“I have watched tape on Floyd to make sure that our strategy and technique in training camp is correct.

 

“My entire career defines my legacy; I have already accomplished great achievements in my career while excelling in different weight divisions. This fight is an additional achievement in my career; it’s the biggest fight in boxing history.

 

“I can say that beating Floyd would be the biggest victory of my career.

 

“More people are interested and informed about this fight now than they would’ve been five years ago.

 

“Style wise, I am the same fighter I was five years ago. My determination, inspiration and killer instinct is the exact same as it was five or six years ago.

 

“For mig, boxing is my passion. I enjoy boxing and giving honor to my country of the Philippines. My concern is to bring an exciting fight to my fans. My first concern going into every fight is how will be to be able to entertain my fans, give them enjoyment and make them happy.

 

“The reason I am so loved by fans is because of my reckless style of fighting. People like exciting fights with actual punches being thrown.”

 

BOB ARUM, Top Rank CEO

 

“Manny is motivated, he’s ready for the fight. I expect a great performance from him.

 

“It’s a very interesting fight because Floyd is a defensive specialist who has a good right hand and picks off his opponents. He’s an extraordinarily good fighter.

 

“Pacquiao’s strength is speed, particularly his foot speed and the fact that he throws so many punches and attacks from low angles. He really hits harder than Floyd does, so that’s really what it’s going to be about.

 

“Floyd has a different defense than Juan Manuel Marquez. His defense is primarily his shoulder roll. A lot of his defense is geared against a right handed fighter. Med det sagt, I think Manny is going to surprise a lot of people with how he is going to be able to reach Floyd.

 

“I would say Manny is more motivated for this fight than any other fight I’ve seen him prepare for.

 

“I’m looking forward to Maj 2. I love Manny’s chances of winning, det er det vigtigste ting. He looks great, he’s motivated, no nonsense, and I think he’s going to put on a performance for the ages. It’s going to be hard for him to top his performance against Oscar De La Hoya, but I think he will in this fight.”


FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao’s Hall of Fame Trainer

 

“We have a great idea of when and where we are going to attack Mayweather.

 

“This fight was five years in the making. Promoters should realize that these types of fights are what’s best for boxing and we should have more fights like this. I’m not surprised by the hype surrounding the fight.

 

“Manny has really raised the bar in this training camp. He’s a different Manny Pacquiao than I have seen him going into previous training camps. He is punching so much harder in training for this camp.

 

“Manny is better than ever, his attitude is different and I’ve never seen him work this hard. His speed is faster, his punches are harder. I’m really happy where he’s at. His legs look great; he’s on his toes all the time.

 

“Mayweather is a good counter-puncher, but Manny has faster hands and his combinations are better than Floyd’s.

 

“Both fighters have great experience, so I don’t believe that will be a factor in the fight. The biggest thing is that each fighter comes in with a different style. Floyd is a counter-puncher but Manny must be the one to enforce the fight.

 

“I believe that Manny being a southpaw will be a factor in this fight. Manny showed me tape of Floyd fighting a southpaw and told me that that is exactly what we are going to do in this fight.

 

“I can tell how much this fight means to Manny because he has watched tape on Floyd. Manny has never watched tape on any fighter before.

 

“Since Manny moved to 147 he hasn’t knocked many guys out, so getting the knockout in this fight isn’t a concern for me. If Manny fights at 140, then he does knock guys out, but at this weight he is fighting guys who are bigger than him.

 

“Floyd may be a bigger guy, but we will still win the fight.

 

“This fight is much bigger than when Manny fought Oscar De La Hoya. Manny is a different person going into this fight. He hit me so hard the other day that I believe it’s the hardest I’ve ever been hit by a fighter who I’m training.

 

“I don’t believe that Floyd ever wanted this fight, he was forced to take it by the public and the media. I wouldn’t be surprised if Floyd pulled out now.”
