Las Vegas – (April 15, 2015) – Neke atu i te 200 accredited press members from around the world descended upon Mayweather Boxing Club for Rātū o Floyd Mayweather Media Day. It was the 11-time world champion Mayweather’s first and only open training session before his welterweight world championship unification mega-showdown against Manny Pacquiao i runga i Rāhoroi, Kia 2, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas live on pay-per-view.

 

Superstars Mayweather (47-0, 26 Koó) a Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Koó) is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and Top Rank Inc., the live pay-per-view telecast will be co-produced and co-distributed by HBO Pay-Per-View® and SHOWTIME PPV® timata i9:00 p.m. AND/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Several dozen television camera crews, columnists nūpepa, kaituhi mekemeke, kaipäpäho irirangi, web reporters, photographers and (ataata) bloggers watched as Mayweather went through the paces during a 90-plus minute workout that included working the heavy bag, smacking the speed bag, hitting the mitts, jumping rope, stretching and doing calisthenics.

 

Before a training session streamed in high definition across multiple platforms, tae atu mā whāngai amiorangi, YouTube me pāpāho pāpori, Mayweather answered questions from the media inside a specially-constructed tent in a parking lot outside the gym.

 

What Mayweather, Mayweather Whakatairanga Tumu Leonard Ellerbe, kaiwhakangungu Floyd Mayweather Kaumātua. and unbeaten WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Leo Santa Cruz, who will fight in the top pay-per-view undercard bout on Kia 2, mea Rātū:

 

Floyd Mayweather, 11-Time World Champion

 

My training camp is basically running the same way. I think it has been smoother than others. I feel very comfortable and happy with my performances. They push me hard at camp. They know what I need.

 

The timing for this fight is right. This fight is about legacy, fans and family. I surround myself with all of the right people.

 

I can’t say that this matchup is about hype. This is real life. This is two future Hall of Famers in a mega-fight.

 

I’ve done record breaking numbers before and it looks like we’re going to do it again.

 

Everything in life is about timing. I have no regrets that this fight didn’t take place five years ago. I didn’t think it was that big then, but it continued to get bigger and bigger. Not just in boxing, but outside of the sport. Pacquiao has continued to grow outside of the sport. We didn’t need to rush anything.

 

This is going to be an exciting fight. Our styles are totally different. He is very, very reckless. Every move I make is calculated. I’m always 5-10 steps ahead of my opponent.

 

We’ll see what happens when the fight starts. But when all is said and done I’m going to be the winner.

 

Pacquiao is strong and solid but I don’t know if he can make adjustments like I can. I feel tremendous.

 

This was a difficult fight to make happen, but we made it happen. This fight is one of the biggest ever in boxing.

 

I’m still going strong. The last time I looked, Ko ahau 47 a 0.

 

Anyone can get hit with a great shot, but I can make more adjustments and Manny can’t.

 

I don’t think Pacquiao expected me to look as strong or big when we faced off (at the L.A. press amuiraa).

 

I walk around at 150-152 pounds to weigh 147 pauna. Other boxers weigh around 160-170 before coming down.

 

I’ve got one more fight on my contract. I couldn’t be happier with SHOWTIME and CBS.

 

Las Vegas is the boxing capital. During a Floyd Mayweather fight weekend, you can shop, party, stay out late and do anything you want. The city of Las Vegas has everything.

 

There were offers to fight other places, but MGM Grand is my home.

 

Anything I’ve asked of MGM Grand, they’ve done for me in a heartbeat. They’re all about making entertainers and athletes happy.

 

LEO Santa Cruz, WBC Super whā World Champion

 

I’m very grateful for the opportunity to fight on such an unbelievably huge card. I really want to thank Floyd Mayweather.

 

Any boxer would like to be on this card where millions of people are watching. I’m happy to represent Mexico on this night and on this fight card.

I look at it as a key opportunity for me to make an even bigger name for myself, which is my goal because one day I want to become a superstar like Floyd. That’s why I train really hard all of the time.

 

There are no little fights for me. I consider every fighter dangerous. You lose when you think a fighter is not on your level and then he comes in hungrier than you. That will never happen to me.

 

I don’t know who I’m fighting yet, but I’m sparring different guys with different styles.

 

There’s always a lot at risk for me. People keep talking about all of these big fights, but if I don’t win now, there will be no big fights in the future.

 

I know who I want to fight, but I don’t pick my opponents; I leave it up to my team. They make those kinds of decisions. My job is to fight and win.

 

I have to stay concentrated. I have to maintain focus and concentration. I can’t get ahead of myself. Hoatu e ahau 100 percent in training and in the ring. I always want to put on a great fight for the fans.


Leonard ELLERBE, CEO o Mayweather Whakatairanga

 

Boxing is at an all time high at the moment. There are a lot of great things going on. Between this fight and getting boxing back on network television, it’s all great for the sport.

 

This fight will not only elevate the sport in general, but it will bring in the casual fan to the sport and that’s a great thing.

 

The impact that Floyd Mayweather has had on this sport is immeasurable. People won’t be able to appreciate that until he retires. He’s done so much for this sport. He’s given fighters a platform to say to other promoters that they deserve the lion’s share of the money. He’s brought more sponsorships to the sport.

 

Floyd Mayweather is the highest paid athlete in all of sports and he happens to be a boxer.

 

I think the demand thus far only indicates how big this event is. This is a fight that’s been talked about for five years now and everyone is going to get exactly what they’ve been asking for.

 

Manny Pacquiao is a great fighter. He’s been in a number of great fights and he’s had a terrific career thus far. These are the two best fighters of this generation and come Kia 2 there will be one man standing and it will be Floyd Mayweather.

 

There’s no doubt it’s going to be a great fight. Ahau tino harikoa. I can see firsthand the day-to-day preparation that Floyd puts in and he’s working just as hard as ever. The fans are going to get a great fight that night.

 

I don’t know what Manny Pacquiao has to do on Kia 2, but I know what Floyd Mayweather has to do. He has to do what he normally does and go in there and execute his game plan and I really expect Floyd to knock him out.

 

Floyd Mayweather SR., Mayweather’s Trainer & Father

 

Floyd is as well rounded a fighter as there has ever been, but he’s really still here because of his defense.

 

Other guys fight with their head and their mind and come up short. It’s his great defense that has kept him on top for so long.

 

I want you all to see it. It’s so plain and simple what he’s going to do. Even Ray Charles could see it.

 

I honestly never thought that this was going to happen. So many people were trying to say Floyd was scared. Lets see on Kia 2 who is scared.

 

I can’t tell you why or how, but here’s an update, Floyd is going to kick his a** and knock Pacquiao out.

 

I didn’t watch one tape on Pacquiao. There is no reason to study him. He’s not at this level.

 

Floyd is the best, I must confess. Nothing is going to stop Floyd Mayweather.

 

Pacquiao’s trainer Coach Roach (Freddie Roach) is lying to you. Trying to trick you all. Floyd’s not getting knocked down in the gym. Floyd is the one knocking people down. Roach blows smoke with no hope.

Julio Hiha Chavez, Ninety te toa Mexican nui o te wā katoa, hanga he ahua i roto i īngoa o tana tama, ki te whakaatu i tona tautoko me te tuku kupu o te faaitoitoraa.

 

Tenei ta Chavez Jr., Julio Cesar Chavez and Joe Goossen (kaiwhakangungu) i ki te mea Rāmere i te omaoma Los Angeles-rohe:

 

Julio Hiha Chavez JR., Mua World Champion

I am very focused going into this fight. I have changed a lot mentally this past year.

 

I am fighting [Andrzej] Fonfara now because I like big opponents. I like the challenge of fighting good, hungry fighters. Just because Fonfara doesn’t have the name recognition of other fighters, it doesn’t make him an easy fighter. Te uaua ia.

 

I feel comfortable at light heavyweight. Any time that you can add a couple pounds, you feel better. Although I will be fighting at 175, I feel most comfortable at 168 rite te kaimekemeke. Since I have had one year off, it was a better choice to fight at this weight so that I could see how my body feels.

 

Since I have added a few pounds, I have become a more physical and stronger boxer. The light heavyweight division has very big and physical contenders.

 

“Joe [Goossen] is a great trainer. He is a great motivator to his fighters and makes them better. I have worked very hard with him for the 35 days we spent together in Lake Tahoe.

 

When I was training with Freddie Roach, it was very different. I think Freddie is a great trainer, but Joe also has a lot of experience and we have made a connection together.

 

I really liked training in Lake Tahoe. The altitude, te mowhiti, everything I needed was there. I felt very comfortable up there and I would like to come back there to train for a fight again.

 

I promise a great fight, this is a very exciting fight. Fonfara isn’t an easy opponent, but he has never seen an opponent like me.

 

 

SR Julio Hiha Chavez.

I am here to support and be with my son. I try to give him good advice. I tell him to train and prepare hard, and fortunately he is doing that well.

 

I think Joe [Goossen] is doing a great job, we are on the same page. We are all focused on him [Chavez Jr.] getting to the fight well prepared. This fight requires great preparation because he is going into the fight at a weight that’s higher than his normal weight and he is facing a very tough opponent.

 

He must go in 100 percent to win this fight.

 

I think there has been a 180 degree turn in his career. I see this as a positive because he can really develop his ability and looks very well prepared.

 

I would’ve liked to have seen him take a tune up fight instead because of his long layoff; I particularly didn’t want this fight.

 

“Hōngongoi [Chavez Jr.] wants credibility in this sport and that’s why he made the decision to take this fight, even though it’s a dangerous decision. He must be very prepared for this fight.

 

JOE GOOSSEN, Chavez Jr.s’ Trainer

I’ve been asked over the years who the one fighter was that I would like to work and my answer was always Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

 

I’ve always really admired his style. I had known him as a kid, his father is a legend. It had always seemed like a dream job for me, and out of nowhere I got it.

 

Lake Tahoe was tremendous for training camp. You are isolated and it’s not an easy thing. When you aren’t training you are sitting in a hotel room. You are deprived the comforts of home, but it really gives you that concentration and dedication factor and I think that will interpret into some positive results.

 

I matured over my years, once I had a kid and a family and I think the same has happened with Julio. Life becomes clearer when you put away the immaturity. You realize that you have a future and if you really want to access what’s available to you, then you are going to have to work hard and dedicate yourself to it.

 

Going to Lake Tahoe and really working hard is a sign of maturity and I think that’s what Julio is going through right now. He really showed it by leaving his home and spending an extended period of time up there. To me that is a great indicator that he is mature, dedicated and taking this fight very seriously.

 

Of course I believe Julio is ready to fight Fonfara. The fight was made before I even came on board, but that’s the challenge that I am presented with. You must figure out a good game plan and figure out what you’re up against.

 

Just because Julio has been out a year doesn’t mean that it’s going to be a cake walk for Fonfara. We went up to Lake Tahoe with one thing in mind, and that’s winning this fight and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Tenei ta nga whawhai i ki te mea i mua ki a Rāpare o paunatia-i roto i:

 

GALARZA:

“We had some great sparring with guys like Daniel Jacobs, Sadam Ali, Khytrov. They always give me top tough work. That’s top competition right there. Fighting guys like that builds my confidence. If I can hang in there with them then I can hang with anyone. They’re going to help to bring me to another level. I feed off their energy.

 

“Moore is an aggressive fighter, but I’m a come-forward guy, rawa. Taea e ahau pukuriri, but smart aggressive. Not just aggressive to punch and throw punches wildly. It’s more being smart, using my defense, my offense and countering when he makes mistakes.

 

“I try not to think about fighting in the main event in Brooklyn, but it helps and it definitely motivates me. Te tikanga e ahau, it doesn’t get any better than that – fighting in my home in the main event.

 

“It’s my backyard, so I have to put on a show. It doesn’t give me jitters because I’ve fought in my home before, but the main event is different. I just need to do my job.

 

"Hoki ahau, it’s will and skill. I bring my skill level to the next level. How bad do I want it? Am I going to perform well enough to move to the next level and face those top contenders?

 

“I want to face the top prospects so I can earn a spot as a contender. But I need to get through this guy first.”

 

MOORE:

“The main reason why I came all the way to the United States is because here is where boxing is at its best. I’m really excited about this opportunity. Being on SHOWTIME as a main event is huge for me.

 

“It’s not going to be easy, I’m fighting a guy from Brooklyn in Brooklyn in his back yard. But I’ve been in this situation before, I’ve fought abroad many times before and I’m not intimidated. It’s another day at the office for me.

 

“This is it for me, there’s no turning back. Kua ahau ki te riro. I just don’t see myself losing tomorrow.

 

“I’ve seen a couple Galarza videos on YouTube. He was more of a brawler at the beginning of his career. Na, he’s a more disciplined boxer. That can backfire sometimes, something to watch out.

 

“You’ll see fireworks and excitement. I’m not going to look for the knockout. I think it’s a bad strategy to do that. If it comes, it comes. I’ll be looking to win, no matter what. This is a very big fight for me, so it’ll be all about winning, impressing and being at my best.”

 

KHYTROV

“The atmosphere training in Big Bear was amazing. It was one of the best training camps I’ve had. I’ve never been through a camp in the amateurs like that.

 

“I had a chance to meet Gennady (Golovkin) in Big Bear and we spoke and actually became pretty close. We talked about training regime, stuff athletes talk about. I loved it there.

 

“The adjustment from amateurs to pros has been fine. The only difference is handling the different rounds and realizing that you have to pace yourself for these eight, 10, 12 round fights.

 

“The best time to knock a guy out is in the first two rounds when they aren’t warmed up yet. I tried against (Jorge) Melendez but I couldn’t get him out. I just realized I needed to pace myself for the other six rounds and work the body. It was nice to get those rounds and experience against a tough fighter.

 

“I know he (Coley) is a pretty hard-hitting southpaw. I assume that he won’t come forward, but maybe he’ll surprise me. He has a few knockouts, but I’m going to watch him, learn and adapt.

 

“I faced southpaws in the amateurs. His style won’t give me any issues. I could even switch to a southpaw stance if I need to.

 

“Personally, health allowing, I think I should be a contender by the end of 2015. But I put all my trust into my team. They know best. My job is just to train and prepare for everything they put in front of me.

 

“Yes, 100 percent I’d like to face Gennady. To be the best you have to fight the best. And right now I consider him to be the best 160 pound fighter in the world.”

 

COLEY:

“Fighting on TV for me is a big deal. When I was little, my father used to throw fight parties to watch big fights and tomorrow he’s throwing one for me. That alone makes me so proud. I’ll have my own viewing party. I’m fighting on national television, i runga i SHOWTIME. That’s such of big deal for me. This is my breakout. This is the sign I’m made it.

 

“I stay in shape all year round, but for the past two months I’ve been taking it to the extreme. Training hard, sparring even harder.

 

“I’ve been working very hard. I’ve sparred with world champions and I’ve been doing well. I think this is my time to step up and show everybody how good I am.

 

“I’m predicting there will be a stoppage in the later rounds.”

DEREVYANCHENKO:

“The competition I faced in the WSB was, for the most part, the best fighters in the world. Na tawhiti, the guys I’ve faced in the pros don’t have that resume, that skill level. So I think I’ve fought in more than just four pro fights.

 

“I’m working hard in the gym to make the transition from amateur to pro. I’m taking it step-by-step. I don’t want to jump the gun or make a mistake too fast. I’m looking forward to increasing my level of opposition gradually.

 

“I’ve seen some of his (Campa) whawhai. In some fights he boxes different than in other fights. We’ll see what he does in the ring and adjust accordingly. But I don’t think he can bring anything that I haven’t seen before. But he’s a Mexican fighter so we know he won’t give up.

 

“I’m going to show what I’m worth. I’ve been preparing for this my whole life. Now is my chance to build my fan base and show what I can do in the ring.”

CAMPA:

“This is my first fight in the U.S., and I’m planning to take full advantage of this opportunity.

 

“My training was intense, a lot of running, especially in the mountains. I worked on my conditioning and my speed. I’m at the best shape I’ve ever been.

 

“When I found out about my opponent, I watched video on him and I know I’m better than him. I think my main advantages are age and speed. My opponent is 29, Ahau 23. I’m younger and quicker and I’m not about to make it easy for him.

 

“I’m going to read him in the early rounds and, if I feel he’s not hurting me, I’ll go the distance.

 

“This fight is a huge step-up for me. I see it as key fight. I feel it might be a make or break for me. Ka kite tatou i, I might get a chance to deliver a knockout and that might spark some attention in the boxing world.”

UNDEFEATED 140-POUND CONTENDER AMIR IMAM TO FACE WALTER CASTILLO IN CHAVEZ-FONFARA CO-FEATURE APRIL 18 ON SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING®

Rāhoroi, April 18, LIVE i runga i SHOWTIME® (10 p.m. AND/7 p.m. PT)

From StubHub Center In Carson, Calif.

NEW YORK (April 8, 2015) – Top 10 ranked super lightweight contender Amir ahau (16-0, 14 Koó) will aim to move one step closer to a world title opportunity when he makes his second start of 2015 against fellow power-puncher Walter Castillo (25-2, 18 Koó) in the 10-round co-feature of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING i runga i Rāhoroi, April 18, LIVE on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. AND/7 p.m. PT)

 

In the main event from Pokapū StubHub i roto i te Carson, Calif., Superstar Mexican Julio Hiha Chavez(48-1-1, 32 Koó) faces exciting brawler Andrzej Fonfara (26-3, 15 Koó), of Chicago by way of Poland, i roto i te 12-a tawhio noa a'ee taumahamaha o te marama.

 

Ko tētahi o opuaraa tere-maranga o te mekemeke, kua patototanga a roto i te Imam-tau 24-tawhito 14 o tona 16 professional opponents since turning pro in 2011. The Albany, N.Y., native is coming off a fifth-round TKO of Fidel Maldonado Jr., in a brawl on Jan. 17 on SHOWTIME that featured five total knockdowns. E ahau, currently ranked No. 4 in the WBA and No. 7 i roto i te WBC, touched the canvas for the first time in his career but bounced back and relied on his power to floor Maldonado a total of four times.

 

I know Walter is a tough fighter, he comes forward and throws a lot of punches,” Na ka mea a Imam. “But I will figure him out quickly once I get inside the ring. I’m working on a lot of different things for this training camp, lots of tricky moves that are going to excite the fans. It’s great to fight outdoors at StubHub Center and to showcase my talents on SHOWTIME. I’m here to entertain and prove I’m ready for that title shot.

 

Castle (25-2, 18 Koó), o Managua, Nicaragua, has won nine straight and KO’d six of his last seven opponents. The 26-year-old has fought mostly in Nicaragua and the only blemishes on his record are a split-decision loss in his pro debut and a controversial 2008 split decision on the road against former world champ Vicente Mosquera i roto i te Panama. Castle, who has knocked out his last four opponents inside of four rounds, will make his second start in the U.S. after winning his American debut via first round TKO last October.

 

“Ahau rawa oaoa mo tenei whawhai. I’ve been training hard for months now and can’t wait for the bell to ring,” Castillo said. “Where I’m from we have a history of great warriors like Alexis Arguello and Rosendo Alvarez and on April 18 I’m looking to moving one step closer to adding my name to that list. Imam may be undefeated but I’m ready for a war.

“I had a hard life so yes, I am angry with him.” – Julio Hiha Chavez, JR.

“I had all Mexico and the world at my feet at that time. But it still didn’t fill the void…So what was it that I looked for? The easiest and stupidest things…drugs and alcohol.” – Julio Hiha Chavez, Sr.

 

NEW YORK (April 7, 2015) –The Sports Emmy® Raupapa tohu-toa WÄTEA KATOA returns to examine the life of Mexican superstar Julio Hiha Chavez, JR., as he prepares to make his SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® debut against dangerous brawler Andrzej Fonfara i runga i Rāhoroi, April 18, ora i runga i SHOWTIME (10 p.m. AND/ 7 p.m. PT) i te Pokapū StubHub i roto i te Carson, Calif.

WÄTEA KATOA: Chavez is written and reported by SHOWTIME Sports contributor Mark Kriegel. Author of acclaimed biographies “The Good Son: The Life of Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini” and “Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich,” Kriegel has long focused on the conflicts and complexities that beset fathers and sons in sports.

 

With unprecedented access to the young star–Mexico’s first and only middleweight world champion–and his famous father, WÄTEA KATOAuncovers the stormy yet loving relationship between Junior and his legendary father.

 

No question remains unanswered in a series of interviews at Junior’s high-altitude camp in Lake Tahoe, where his father once trained. What was it like to grow up as the son of Mexico’s greatest fighter? What price does a fighter pay for drugs and alcohol? And what does it do to his family?

 

Only the ending remains in doubt: Is Junior being punished for the sins of his father, or is he doomed to repeat them?

 

“Fame can be a disease, like addiction,” says Kriegel. “And this family has battled both. Junior and Senior weren’t merely candid. They were confessional. Na, Whakaaro ahau, courageous, too.”

 

Ki te WÄTEA KATOA cameras entrenched in camp, viewers will meet three generations of Mexico’s most famous fighting family as the 29-year-old Junior navigates a crossroads of his career.
