Mag-iwan ng komento

Los Angeles, ANG GANOONG AS (Abril 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. Pinaka-mahalaga, 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, sino ang 12-2-2 may 7 panalo sa pamamagitan ng knockout. "Sa pag-iisip, nararamdaman ko 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 sa susunod na Sabado."

 

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. Kasabay nito, had he faced the opponents I did under the same circumstances, he’d have a few losses. Upang maging matapat, 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.

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Square Off
Sa Isa Pang Klasikong Showdown

Sa The Welterweight Division

Las Vegas (Abril 20, 2015) — Ito ay madalas na sinabi na “habang pumapasok ang weightweight division, ganon din ang boxing,” ngunit hindi palaging ganito ang kaso at, sa katunayan, maaaring hindi man maging wasto kapag tiningnan mula sa isang komprehensibong pananaw mula pa noong huli 19ika siglo. Sa Boksing, Epiko ng may-akdang Aleman na si Bertram Job, 420-pahina ng disertasyon ng coffee-table sa lahat ng aspeto ng matamis na agham, siya ang nagsusulat nun, “Ang Elegance ay trademark ng mga payat at maliksi na mga bituin sa ilalim ng 147-pound weight class na nakakaakit ng mga tagaloob at tagahanga ng kagandahan na walang katulad.”

 

At ganoon din ang magiging isa pang benchmark entry sa mayamang kasaysayan ng paghahati kung kailan, saMayo 2 at MGM Grand sa Las Vegas, mabuhay sa pay-per-view, welterweyt mananalo Floyd “Pera” Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) tumatagal sa kapwa titlist Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 Kos) sa isang pinakahihintay na showdown ng pag-iisa na ang magiging pinakamayamang premyo sa kasaysayan ng isport, 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.

 

Ang “gold standard” to which all welterweights aspire remains the late, great Sugar Ray Robinson. Born Walker Smith Jr., ang payat na bata na hindi pa nakikipaglaban sa isang parusa sa anumang antas ay isang tag-kasama si coach George Gainford sa isang amateur na paligsahan sa Kingston, N.Y.. Tinanong kung mayroon siyang isang flyweight nais niyang pumasok, Sasabihin sana ni Gainford na hindi nang kunin ni Smith ang kanyang manggas at sinabi, “Lalaban ako.” Ang kinalabasan, Si Gainford ay mayroong isang AAU card – kailangan mo ng isa upang ma-sertipikahan bilang isang hindi propesyonal – sa pangalan ni Ray Robinson, isa sa kanyang boksingero na sumuko sa isport. Nanalo si Smith / Robinson ng isang apat na bilog na desisyon, at, bagaman walang nakakaalam noon, kaya ipinanganak ang isang alamat.

 

Si Robinson ay 85-0 bilang isang baguhan bago maging pro sa 19 sa 1940. Sa pamamagitan ng 1951, siya ay 128-1-2 may 84 mga tagumpay sa knockout. Bagaman naalala rin siya sa pagkapanalo ng titulong middleweight ng limang beses, Hindi kailanman natalo si Robinson bilang welterweight, panalo nang madalas at napakahigpit na ang maalamat na tagapagsanay, Eddie Futch, ay nagalaw upang obserbahan iyon, “Nasa kanya ang lahat. Mga kasanayan sa boksing, pagsuntok kapangyarihan, isang mahusay na baba, lakas ng kaisipan. Wala siyang magawa.”

 

Si Robinson ay nagkaroon din ng isang outsized ego, na marahil ay isang kinakailangang sangkap sa pampaganda ng kaisipan ng anumang dakilang manlalaban. Kahit na ang isang bakas ng pag-aalinlangan sa sariling kakayahan ay hindi nakakatulong sa tagumpay sa singsing. Minsan, nang tanungin tungkol sa kanya “larong golf,” Muhammad Ali, sino ang hindi naglaro ng golf, sumagot, “Ako ang pinakamagaling, pinakadakila sa kanilang lahat. Hindi pa lang ako naglalaro.”

 

Tiyak na pinagsasama ni Mayweather ang aura ng kawalan ng pagkatalo sa kanyang trabaho, at marahil hindi lang dahil siya ay natalo pa bilang isang propesyonal. Sa 2013, sinabi niya, “Syempre pakiramdam ko hindi matatalo. Ako ang pinakamagaling. Hindi ako pupunta sa anumang pag-aaway sa pag-uunawa na ako ay matalo. Nais kong gumawa ng isang pamana para sa aking sarili bilang pinakadakilang manlalaban na pumasok sa ring.”

 

Pacquiao, habang marahil ay hindi bilang pandiwa, ay hindi gaanong ligtas sa kanyang sariling paniniwala system. Ang mga sukat ng talento at swagger na iyon ang gumagawa ng Mayweather vs.. Isang dapat na makita na kaganapan. Alin sa mga natitirang mandirigmang ito ang maaaring gawin ang iba pang yumuko sa kanyang kalooban? Sino ang isusulat ang kanyang pangalan sa mas malaking pag-print sa malaking libro ng welterweights?

 

Ipinasok ang International Boxing Hall of Fame 23 mga mandirigma na, sa isang oras o iba pa, welterweight champion. Bilang karagdagan kay Robinson, ang mga may mga plake na pinuri sa banal na bulwagan ay kasama si 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 Coke, Barney Ross, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Batang kambing” Si Lewis at “Misteryoso” Billy Smith. Tiniyak sina Mayweather at Pacquiao na sumali sa kanilang ranggo sa sandaling maging karapat-dapat na silang pumunta sa balota.

 

Ang nanguna sa Mayweather vs.. Hindi nagkaroon ng kakulangan sa paghahambing si Pacquiao sa nakaraang welterweight clash na kapansin-pansin para sa klasikong kalikasan ng mga laban na iyon, ang laganap na interes ng interes ng publiko sa kanila, o pareho.

 

Si Mayweather vs.. Malamang na maulit si Pacquiao, sabihin, Leonard-Duran I, kung saan nanalo si Duran sa isang nakapupukaw na lubos na nagkakaisang desisyon noong Hunyo 25, 1980, sa Montreal? Ang epiko na Leonard-Hearns I, sa Sept. 16, 1981, na nakita si Leonard, sumunod sa scorecards, rally para sa isang dramatiko, 14ika-pag-ikot ng TKO sa Caesars Palace? Ang kontrobersyal na desisyon ng mayorya ng Trinidad laban kay De La Hoya sa kanilang Sept. 18, 1999, pagsasama-sama ng pagbubuklod sa Mandalay Bay? O gagawa ba ito ng sarili nitong marka sa isang natatanging paraan na walang paghahambing na maaari o dapat iguhit?

 

Pagdating sa hindi malilimutang mga welterweight bout, sa ngayon dapat maging malinaw na ang anumang bagay at lahat ay posible. Magkakaroon ng kasaysayan sina Mayweather at Pacquiao, at idagdag dito, sa pamamagitan ng pagtatangka na yumuko ang bawat isa sa kanilang sariling hangarin.

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Mag-iwan ng komento

Sa pamamagitan ng: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Pera” 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, kahit na. It all goes to charity. Pa, 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. Pa, Floyd did admit in 2012 na 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. Pa, 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.

Kaya, the May-Pac fight will happen, and Mayweather is the obvious favorite. To learn more about the gambling side of this story, magpatala nang umalis 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. Pagkatapos ng lahat, 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 “Pera” 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.

“I’m thrilled to get back in the ring and show the world what ‘The Treasure’ ay tungkol sa lahat,” 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 Sabado, Mayweather Promotions is extremely pleased to put on a great night of fights at Palms Casino Resort just days before,” Said Leonard Ellerbe, CEO ng Mayweather Promosyon. “Ishe Smith is an accomplished former world champion and Ashley Theophane is an exciting welterweight who always comes to fight.”

After a long career that saw him go from the world of reality television as a star on “Ang kalaban” to competing at the top level at 154 at 160 pounds, Magpanday, 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.

 

Pagkatapos ng isang pinalawak na amateur na karera sa kung saan siya competed sa halos 100 fights, 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 Abril 30.

 

Isang karanasan na kalaban mula sa London ngunit aaway sa labas ng Las Vegas, Theophane is looking to build on his current four fight win streak when he enters the ring on Abril 30. The 34-year-old has been in the ring with many 140 at 147-pound contenders kabilang Danny Garcia at Pablo Cesar Cano, pagkawala sa pamamagitan ng makipot na split-desisyon na pareho. Most recently he dominated Miguel Zuniga on his way to a unanimous decision in Dec. 2014.

 

Sporting a 55-5 record bilang isang baguhan, 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 Abril 30.

 

The 28-year-old Hunter 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 Abril 30 sa Las Vegas.

Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos), who represents the Sarangani province in the Philippines, hosted a Hollywood Media Workout with his Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach and Hall of Promoter Bob Arum.

 

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

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

 

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.

 

“Sa akin, 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. Kasama na ang sinabi, 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.

 

“Naghahanap ako inaabangan ang panahon na Mayo 2. I love Manny’s chances of winning, that’s the main thing. 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.”

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 sa Sabado, Mayo 2, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas live on pay-per-view.

 

Superstars Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) at Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos) 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® at SHOWTIME PPV® magmula sa9:00 p.m. AT/ 6:00 p.m. PT.

 

Several dozen television camera crews, columnists newspaper, manunulat boxing, broadcasters radio, web reporters, photographers and (video) 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, kabilang ang sa pamamagitan ng satellite feed, YouTube at social media, Mayweather answered questions from the media inside a specially-constructed tent in a parking lot outside the gym.

 

What Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, tagapagsanay Floyd Mayweather Sr. and unbeaten WBC Super Bantamweight Champion Leo Santa Cruz, who will fight in the top pay-per-view undercard bout on Mayo 2, nabanggit Martes:

 

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, Ako ay 47 at 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. pres-konperensiya).

 

“I walk around at 150-152 pounds to weigh 147 pounds. 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 Bantamweight 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. Ibinibigay ko 100 percent in training and in the ring. I always want to put on a great fight for the fans.”


LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO ng Mayweather Promosyon

 

“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 Mayo 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. Ako ay talagang nagaganyak. 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 Mayo 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.”

 

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 Mayo 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.”

I’m grateful to Floyd Mayweather and Mayweather Promotions for giving me this opportunity and giving the Mexican fight fans another reason to cheer on Mayo 2.”

 

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao marks the second-consecutive Mayweather pay-per-view event featuring Santa Cruz. In September he wiped out Manuel Roman with a second-round technical knockout as the co-main event of “MAYHEM: Mayweather vs. Maidana 2.” Previously he had fought on the non-televised undercard of MAY DAY: Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero, with a technical knockout over Alexander Munoz.

In non-pay-per-view undercard action, a pair of Mayweather Promotions’ fighters will look to keep their undefeated records intact. Super welterweight prospect Chris “Sweet” Pearson (11-0, 9 Kos) will square off against tough brawler Sabi El Harrak (12-2-2, 7 Kos) sa isang 10-ikot labanan.

The fan-friendly two-division world champion Santa Cruz 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. The 26-year-old won his first world title in 2012. Sa 2013 he won his super bantamweight title, which he now holds. Born in Huetamo, Michoaca de Ocampo, Mexico but fighting out of Los Angeles, Santa Cruz looks to entertain the fans at MGM Grand on Mayo 2 when he fights on the highly anticipated Mayweather vs. Pacquiao pay-per-view.

He takes on the 27-year-old El Harrak who fights out of Henderson, Nev. by way of London.
