LAS VEGAS (April 29, 2015) - Floyd "Money" Mayweather i Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao suočen samo treći put Srijeda tokom završne konferencije za štampu za svoje dugoočekivano poluteško ujedinjenje svjetskog prvaka bori se protiv toga Subota, Maj 2, MGM Grand Garden u Arena, uživo uz plaćanje po prikazu.

 

Posljednji put kada su se bokserski superzvezda sastali licem u lice, na konferenciji za novinare u Los Angelesu kako bi se zvanično najavila mega borba na Mart 11. Prvi put su se fotografirali izbliza i lično došli na košarkašku utakmicu u Miami Heat-u u januaru.

 

U željno iščekivanom obračunu u godinama - i najbogatijoj borbi u povijesti boksa — neporaženi i univerzalno priznati br. 1 bokser za kilogram Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs), 11-puta svjetski prvak u pet težinskih divizija, preuzeće borbeni ponos Filipina, Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs), jedini bokser koji je osvajao svjetske naslove u osam kategorija težine.

 

Evo što su rekli borci i rukovoditelji Srijeda u Kazalištu KÀ na Grand Grand MGM-u:

FLOYD MAYWEATHER

„Jedino što mogu učiniti je uzeti jedan po jedan dan. Kada dođe do borbe, izaći ću tamo i uraditi ono što najbolje radim, a to je izaći i boriti se.

 

„Od početka moje karijere, Uvek sam imao plan igre. Upravo je šah. Izrađujemo proračunate poteze u ringu i van prstena. Dobio sam se s pravom ekipom i okružio se pravim šahovskim komadima.

 

„Mnogo sam mudriji nego što sam nekada bio. Ova se borba prodaje. Naš krajnji cilj bio je doći do ove točke, bilo da je to bio Manny ili neki drugi borac.

 

„Ne oduzimam ništa od Mannyja Pacquiaa. On je solidan borac; solidan takmičar i to će biti intrigantan meč koji dolazi u subotu.

 

„Sve treba vremena, sve je u tajmingu. Drago mi je što smo imali strpljenja i nismo žurili. Vrijeme je sada, ovo je pravo vrijeme za ovu borbu.

 

„Želim zahvaliti svim piscima što su ovdje. Neki su otprilike od moje desete godine, neki su bili ovde zbog mojih 19 godina u ovom sportu. Zahvalan sam svim piscima, da li su priče bile dobre ili loše, vi ste me smatrali relevantnim 19 godina.

 

„Ova borba govori o jednom borcu koji je na vrhu, a bori se o drugom borcu koji je na vrhu. Radi se o tome da vas uzbudite. Ne znamo kako će se odigrati ova borba, ali vjerujem u svoje vještine. Vjerujem da ću pobijediti.

 

„Kada sam išao na trening kamp izuzetno sam se trudio da pobedim u ovoj borbi i prilično sam siguran da je Manny to isto učinio. Zbog toga je ovo intrigantno podudaranje. "

MANNY PACQUIAO

„Nemam predviđanja, ali uzbuđena sam. Uvjeren sam i prvi put osjećam da sam spreman za borbu.

"Tako sam sretna zbog tog osjećaja i tog fokusa koji sam imala prije mnogo godina, is back. Uvjeren sam i opušten.

„Moja ljubav i želja za ovom borbom učinile su me posebno zainteresovanom.

„Želio bih pozvati sve da budemo svjedoci velike borbe između Floyda i mene ove subote.

„Želim ljudima biti primer i inspiracija.

„Pre nego što sam postao bokser, Spavao sam na ulici. Ne mogu vjerovati da sam u tom položaju. Dječak koji nije imao hranu i spavao na ulici može imati život.

„U subotu je naš cilj da učinimo zadovoljne navijače našim nastupom. Obojica ćemo jako raditi na zabavljanju navijača i dobroj borbi.

„Nadam se da ćemo i Floyd i ja dati sve od sebe u subotu i da ćemo svoje ime upisati u istoriju boksa.

„Najvažnija čemu se nadam je da nakon borbe mogu razgovarati sa Floydom o tome da budem inspiracija ljudima širom sveta.“

FLOYD Mayweather SR., Mayweather je Otac & Trener

 

„Šta god da se desi u subotu, to će biti jednostrano. Pacquiao ide spavati.

 

„Ja sam trener, Znam što se događa s borcima. Pacquiao ga nema.

 

„Svi mogu reći ono što žele reći. Već sam to rekao, Pacquiao ne može udarati. Ne brinem zbog toga. Pozvaću ga Floyda da ga spušta. "

 

FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao je Trainer

„Kada je ova borba najavljena, Mannyev nivo obuke porastao je. Izuzetno je uzbuđen zbog ove borbe.

 

„Mislim da ćemo doneti odluku i obeležiti ovog tipa. Ako dođe do nokauta, to će biti bonus.

„Mislim da Manny voli biti nedorasli. Volimo povlačiti napade i raditi stvari koje ne bismo trebali da radimo. Manny će biti taj tip.

„Vršićemo veliki pritisak na Floyda. Manny voli razmjenjivati ​​i brzinom svoje ruke, ova će borba ići u našu korist.

„Manny je nepromišljen, ali to je njegov stil. On pokušava pobijediti u borbama i ljudi uživaju u njegovim borbama. Daje sve od sebe i ponekad vas pokucaju, to je dio boksa. "

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO Mayweather Promocije

 

„Svetska pažnja i interesovanje za ovaj događaj je neverovatno i Floyd i Manny to zaslužuju.

 

„Las Vegas ima bogatu istoriju domaćin najvećih i najboljih borbi u sportu. Tijekom godina, Floyd Mayweather napravio je MGM svojim domom. Ovo će biti njegovo 11th uzastopna borba na MGM Grand i the 14th u karijeri.

 

„Postoje dva sjajna borca ​​koja će se boriti u subotu navečer, a fokus treba biti na borcima, niko drugi. Fokus je na borcima u subotu navečer.

 

„Maja 2, Floyd se suočio s još jednim ogromnim izazovom u svjetskom prvaku Mannyju Pacquiauu, u borbi koja ceo svet čeka da vidi. Floyd još jednom pokazuje da je najbolji The Ever i znam da će to učiniti u subotu navečer. "

 

BOB ARUM, Hall of Fame Promoter, Top Rank

 

„Ovo je sjajna promocija sa dva velika borca. Nadam se da će ova borba pomoći da se podigne ostatak boksa. Mislim da na osnovu interesovanja za ovu borbu, pojačano je i interesovanje za boks, i to je super.

 

„Ljudi su proveli dosta vremena tokom ovog događaja gledajući Manny-ov voz, ali još važnije, gledajući kako Freddie predaje. Lijepo je vidjeti dva momka na istoj talasnoj dužini, radeći na strategiji, a zatim je razrađujem u ringu. "

 

KEN Hershman, Predsjednik, HBO Sports

 

„Put u ovu borbu bio je izvanredan. Pored sjajnog pisanja i izvještavanja o kojem rade svi mediji, HBO je pripremao sjajne programe za uživanje u borbi za obožavatelje i približio ih sportu.

„Ova dva borca ​​su cijeli život radila na tome da dođu do ovog trenutka.

 

„Floyd i Manny imaju odlične timove. Floyd će vam prvi reći da njegov tim zaslužuje puno zasluga za svoj uspjeh i čuo sam da je Manny rekao vrlo slične stvari.

 

„Ono što ovaj događaj čini tako posebnim i tako istorijskim, je da imamo dva sportaša jednom u generaciji koji će se sastati u ringu otprilike 72 sati. Tako smo ponosni što smo dobili priliku da budemo dio jednog tako očekivanog događaja. “

Young Stars Complement Epic Welterweight Championship Showdown
Between Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao

LAS VEGAS (April 27, 2015) – A full lineup of present and future boxing stars is set to entertain the MGM Grand Garden Arena crowd in pay-per-view and non-televised action before the history-making welterweight showdown between Floyd “Novac” Mayweather i Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao na Subota, Maj 2.

 

The pay-per-view undercard is topped by a pair of fights featuring two of boxing’s most talented and exciting stars as WBC Super Bantamweight World Champion Lav “Zemljotres” Santa Cruz (29-0-1, 17 KOs) faces Mexican brawler Jose Cayetano (17-3, 8 KOs) and WBO Featherweight World Champion Vasyl Lomachenko (3-1, 1 KO) takes on Puerto Rican contender Gamalier rodriguez (25-2-3, 17 KOs).

 

The pay-per-view telecast will be co-produced and co-distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View® and SHOWTIME PPV® sa početkom u9 poslije podne. I/ 6 poslije podne. PT.

 

Exciting non-televised bouts round out the action in the arena as top undefeated prospects look to keep their perfect records intact.

 

The slick and undefeated Kris “Sweet” Pearson (11-0, 9 KOs) ispunjava Said El Harrak (12-2, 7 KOs) in a 10-round middleweight bout and heavy-fisted Jesse Hart (16-0, 13 KOs) takes on fellow unbeaten Mike Jimenez (17-0, 11 KOs) in a 10-rounder or the NABO, USBA i NABF naslovi srednje težine.

 

An undefeated knockout artist looking to make it 10-for-10, Andrija “The Beast” Tabiti (9-0, 9 KOs) lica Anthony Smith Caputo (15-4, 10 KOs) in an eight- rounds cruiserweight match.

 

Kicking off the night of fights is undefeated contender Brad Solomon (24-0, 9 KOs), ko će se protivila Adrian Rene Granados (13-3, 9 KOs) u 10-okrugli super srednjoj kategoriji bout.

 

“Mayweather Promotions is looking forward to bringing some of boxing’s most exciting current and future stars to the fans on the biggest night in our sport’s history,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO Mayweather Promocije. “Whether you are watching on pay-per-view or in the arena, you are in store for an electric night of fights.”

 

“Each undercard match could be a main event on another card,” rekao je Hall of Fame promotor Bob Arum Top Rank. “Fans can watch the exciting action as a warm-up to the most anticipated fight in decades.”

 

Kako je ranije najavljeno, 26-godina Santa Cruz will be making his second appearance on a Floyd Mayweather pay-per-view undercard. The fan-friendly two-division world champion has defended his super bantamweight title numerous times in impressive fashion on his way to earning a reputation as one of the most exciting fighters in the world. Born in Huetamo, Michoaca de Ocampo, Mexico but fighting out of Los Angeles, Santa Cruz won his first world title in 2012. U 2013 he won his super bantamweight title.

 

Fighting out of Tijuana, Baja California, Meksiko, Cayetano okrenuo pro u 2009 and sprinted to a 10-0 record before dropping a narrow split decision to Ruben Tamayo in 2011. He most recently dropped a decision to Enrique Bernache in February after defeating Dennis Contreras and Eden Marquez in his previous two starts. He hopes to make a grand impression in his U.S. debiMaj 2.

 

Arguably the greatest amateur boxer of all-time, with two Olympic gold medals and two Amateur National Championships, 27-godina Lomachenko has already made a great impact in the professional ranks. He won his world title with a majority decision over Gary Russell Jr. prošle godine. Making the second defense of his 126-pound title, the fighter out of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Ukraine will be going for his third straight win overall when he battles Rodriguez.

 

An accomplished veteran from Bayamon, Portoriko, Rodriguez gets an opportunity on boxing’s biggest stage when he battles Lomachenko. The 28-year-old has not lost a fight since 2009 i ima 17 consecutive victories since a technical draw in 2010. He won twice in 2014, picking up a unanimous decision victory over Orlando Cruz and a second round TKO over Martin Cardona.

 

Borba od Philadelphia, Jelen was an accomplished amateur who was a 2012 U.S. Olympic alternate after earning a U.S. National Championship and a National Golden Gloves Championship. The 25-year-old will fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for the first time since his professional debut in 2005 when he stopped Manuel Eastman in the first round. Ovaj put, he will look to remain undefeated and catapult himself to contender status.

 

Undefeated and facing the biggest challenge of his career, 27-godišnjak Jimenez will make his Las Vegas debut on Maj 2. Having already delivered a second round knockout over Kevin Engel in 2015 the fighter out of Chicago will look to impress on the biggest stage of his career against Hart.

 

A three-time National Golden Gloves Champion, Solomon fights out of Lafayette, Louisiana and is aiming to maintain his perfect record.. The 31-year-old picked up victories in 2014 over Eduardo Flores, Freddy Hernandez and Arman Ovsepyan. Solomon takes on the 25-year-old Granados out of Cicero, Ilinois.

Mayweather-Pacquiao Undercard Update: Sid El Harrak eagerly awaiting Pearson Showdown!

Ostavite komentar

Los Anđeles, KAO ŠTO (April 22, 2015) – In less than two weeks, Sid El Harrak will have the chance to change his life and boxing career when he faces undefeated Chris Pearson as part of the historic Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

 

To prepare for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, El Harrak’s dedicated all of his time to various aspects of training. From cardio to strength and conditioning, sharpening his skills in the gym and intense sparring sessions, the California based Londoner is covering everything imaginable. Ono što je najvažnije, he believes the grueling training sessions he’s gone through at both Wild Card Boxing Gym locations is already paying off.

 

“It’s very important to have an ample amount of time to train for a fight and that’s not something I’ve had my whole career,"Said El Harrak, koji je 12-2-2 sa 7 pobjeda nokautom. "Psihički, osjećam 100 percent ready to go out there and shine in the biggest fight of my life. I’m still working hard to balance everything out so the world sees the best Sid El Harrak next Saturday."

 

He also loves being considered the underdog against the 11-0 and heavily hyped Pearson.

 

“I have a lot of pride and knowing that I’m coming into this fight as the B-side pushes me that much more. I love the fact that Pearson’s supposed to be “the guy” in this fight. If I fought who he did, I’d be undefeated. Istovremeno, had he faced the opponents I did under the same circumstances, he’d have a few losses. Da budem iskren, I’m sick of thinking about him. This is the most eager I’ve been for a fight in my career and I can’t wait to show everybody what I can do on May 2ND!"

 

The El Harrak-Pearson ten round junior middleweight bout will be televised on various networks throughout the world.

147-POUND WEIGHT CLASS TAKES CENTER STAGE AGAIN ON SATURDAY, MAJ 2 AT THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
In Another Classic Showdown

In The Welterweight Division

LAS VEGAS (April 20, 2015) — It has often been said that “as the heavyweight division goes, so goes boxing,” but that has not always been the case and, zapravo, might not even be valid when viewed from a comprehensive perspective dating back to the late 19th century. U Boks, German author Bertram Job’s epic, 420-page coffee-table dissertation on all aspects of the sweet science, he writes that, “Elegance is the trademark of the slim and nimble stars in the under 147-pound weight class that has attracted insiders and admirers of beauty like no other.”

 

And so it is with what will be another benchmark entry in the rich history of the division when, naMaj 2 MGM Grand u u Las Vegasu, uživo uz plaćanje po prikazu, velter šampion Floyd “Novac” Mayweather (47-0, 26 KOs) takes on fellow titlist Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 KOs) in a long-anticipated unification showdown that will be the richest prizefight in the sport’s history, and which has drawn comparisons to some of the premier matchups in a weight class imprinted with that elegant trademark to which Job referred.

 

Although Pacquiao, the only fighter ever to win world championships in eight weight classes, and Mayweather, who has reigned in five weight classes, have not campaigned solely or even mostly as welterweights, it is hardly a surprise that the most important intersection of their remarkable careers comes in the same division for which so many of boxing’s greatest legends are primarily known.

 

The “gold standard” to which all welterweights aspire remains the late, great Sugar Ray Robinson. Born Walker Smith Jr., the skinny kid who had never fought in a sanctioned bout at any level was a tag-along with coach George Gainford to an amateur tournament in Kingston, N.Y.. Asked if he had a flyweight he wished to enter, Gainford was about to say no when Smith tugged on his sleeve and said, “I’ll fight.” As it turned out, Gainford had an AAU card – you needed one to be certified as a non-professional – in the name of Ray Robinson, one of his boxers who had given up the sport. Smith/Robinson won a four-round decision, i, although no one knew it then, thus was a legend born.

 

Robinson was 85-0 as an amateur before turning pro at 19 u 1940. Po 1951, he was 128-1-2 sa 84 knockout victories. Although he is also remembered for winning the middleweight title five times, Robinson never lost as a welterweight, winning so often and so emphatically that the legendary trainer, Eddie Futch, was moved to observe that, “He had everything. Boxing skills, probijanje snaga, a great chin, mental strength. There was nothing he couldn’t do.”

 

Robinson also had an outsized ego, which perhaps is a necessary component to any great fighter’s mental makeup. Even a trace of doubt in one’s own ability is not conducive to success in the ring. Once, when asked about his “golf game,” Muhammad Ali, who didn’t play golf, responded, “I’m the best, greatest of ’em all. I just haven’t played yet.”

 

Mayweather certainly brings that aura of invincibility to his work, and maybe not just because he has yet to lose as a professional. U 2013, on je rekao, “Of course I feel unbeatable. I’m the best. I’m not going into any fight figuring that I’m beatable. I want to make a legacy for myself as the greatest fighter who ever entered the ring.”

 

Pacquiao, while perhaps not as verbose, is no less secure in his own belief system. It is those heaping measures of talent and swagger that make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao a must-see event. Which of these outstanding fighters can make the other bend to his will? Who will have his name written in larger print in the big book of welterweights?

 

The International Boxing Hall of Fame has inducted 23 fighters who were, at one time or another, welterweight champions. In addition to Robinson, those whose plaques grace the hallowed hall include 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 “Klinac” Lewis and “Mysterious” Billy Smith. Mayweather and Pacquiao are of course assured of joining their ranks as soon as they become eligible to go onto the ballot.

 

The lead-up to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao has generated no shortage of comparisons to past welterweight clashes that are notable for the classic nature of those bouts, the widespread public interest attendant to them, or both.

 

Is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao more likely to be a repeat of, reći, Leonard-Duran I, which Duran won on a rousing unanimous decision on June 25, 1980, u Montrealu? The epic Leonard-Hearns I, na septembar. 16, 1981, which saw Leonard, trailing on the scorecards, rally for a dramatic, 14th-round TKO at Caesars Palace? Trinidad’s controversial majority decision over De La Hoya in their Sept. 18, 1999, unification showdown at the Mandalay Bay? Or will it make its own mark in such a distinctive way that no comparisons can or should be drawn?

 

When it comes to unforgettable welterweight bouts, by now it should be obvious that anything and everything is possible. Mayweather and Pacquiao will make history, and add to it, by attempting to bend destiny each to their own purpose.

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Ostavite komentar

Po: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Novac” Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26 KOs) and Manny “Pac Man” Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 KOs) are set to clash on May 2nd, 2015 in one of the most hyped fights in boxing history. This fight is so huge they are even planning to sell tickets to the weigh-in due to crowd control issues. The proceeds will not be going to the promoters or the boxers, iako. It all goes to charity. Još, this is a first for the state of Nevada, which traditionally requires that all weigh-ins be free of charge for fans to attend.

The level of anticipation surrounding this fight had a long time to build up. For the better part of the last decade, these two pound-for-pound juggernauts could not make this fight happen for one ridiculous reason after another. As someone who personally attended some of Mayweather’s public workouts in Vegas, I can attest to the fact that the undefeated welterweight champion repeatedly and relentlessly cited Pacquiao’s refusal to undergo Olympic style blood testing when asked about the attempts being made to get this fight signed over five years ago.

Mayweather even came up with a little rap lyric to express the issue in simple terms:

“If you wanna fight the best, you gotta take the test,” he belted out during a sit-up session at one of those open workouts.

Pacquiao changed his tune on the testing and overcame the biggest hurdle of all when he met personally with Mayweather and agreed that he would be the “B” side and should therefore get a smaller split of the purse. As the video above outlines, Mayweather was then able to dominate the negotiation process.

Although pundits still say this fight will be the biggest in the history of the sport, the question must be asked if this pairing is happening too late in the careers of both fighters for it to be as exciting as some experts predict it will be.

It was always clear to me this fight would happen, but it became obvious that the longer it took to sign the contracts, the better Floyd’s chances of winning would be. Još, Floyd did admit in 2012 to the real reason he didn’t want to fight Pacquiao was due to health concerns. He denied being scared, calling himself “smart” for thinking about his family and his health first. Još, he insisted that the main reason his health would be at risk in that fight was if Pacquiao was really doing steroids, as Mayweather alleged and ended up being sued over. The two settled out of court and the fight is now imminent, so some fans think it’s all water under the bridge. Others are just plain aggravated that we had to wait this long for this bout to come to fruition.

Boxing Legend Marvin Hagler even commented recently that Mayweather waited until Pacquiao aged a little more before signing to fight him. Hagler compared Mayweather’s tactics to Sugar Ray Leonard waiting until Hagler became a little “soft” himself before they signed their fight contract. That bout turned out to be hugely controversial and left Hagler extremely bitter about the sport that made him famous.

Tako, the May-Pac fight will happen, and Mayweather is the obvious favorite. To learn more about the gambling side of this story, provjeriti Boxing betting at William Hill site. The biggest payoff for any lucky bettor will be a successful bet on Pacquiao, but it’s easy to wonder if Pacquiao really is too old to win this time out. After all, there are tons of concerns with Manny’s calf muscles seizing up, and he reportedly uses a healing cream that costs thousands of dollars per bottle to address the problem.

Mayweather (38) is actually the older fighter, but the 36-year-old Manny’s fought 17 more bouts in the pro ranks and will likely be the most active puncher “Novac” ever faced. Mayweather’s normally spectacular and overwhelming defensive prowess just might be tested.

This fight may not be worth every penny you spend on tickets or the Pay-Per-View feed, but the fact that it is finally happening is still special. It will still be a fight boxing fans everywhere around the world can enjoy and appreciate. It’s ultimately up to the fighters to prove they are both up to the task of making sure this fight lives up to expectations. Chances are, Floyd will do his best to leave the MGM Grand with an uneventful decision win. Let’s just hope Pacquiao has enough left in the tank to make sure this is the most competitive fight Mayweather’s ever been in. It may not be the most opportune time for this fight to happen, but it’s a lot better to get it late than never.
