Las Vegas - Julie 15, 2025 -Die vegtrots van die Filippyne, 'n wêreldkampioen van agt afdelings en vanaf verlede maand, 'n indukteur in die International Boxing Hall of Fame. Terwyl dit lyk soos die groter as die leweManny “Pacman” Pacquiaohet alles wat u kan in die sport bereik, Hy kan hierdie Saterdag nog 'n hoofstuk by sy historiese nalatenskap voeg, Julie 19 Wanneer hy WBC Welterweight World Champion uitdaagMario "El Azteca" BarriosIn die hoofgebeurtenis van 'n PBC Pay-Per-View-geleentheid op Prime Video van die MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Benewens die feit dat hy die eerste vegter geword het wat die onbegryplike prestasie bereik om 'n wêreldtitel te verower na 'n Hall of Fame -induksie, Pacquiao kan sy eie rekord as die oudste weltergewig -wêreldkampioen in die geskiedenis breek as hy die WBC -gordel van Barrios neem. Pacquiao het oorspronklik die merk in Julie gestel 2019, Terwyl hy die voorheen onoorwonne Keith Thurman op 40-jarige ouderdom verslaan het. In 'n era wat supersterre in hul veertigerjare gesien het, soos Tom Brady en LeBron James, presteer dit steeds op die hoogste vlakke, Pacquiao wil weer bewys dat hy 'n generasie -atleet is wat die sport oortref.

Pacquiao sal terugkeer na die ring op 'n plek waar hy sy eie gemaak het, Die MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, die veghoofstad van die wêreld, soos hy syne maak 16ste voorkoms op die lokaal, meer as enige vegter in die aansienlike geskiedenis van die lokaal. Met syne 15ste Hoofgebeurtenis op Julie 19, Hy bind die merk wat deur die mede -legende Floyd Mayweather op die lokaal gestel is, en slegs roetes Mayweather in totale oorwinnings op die arena (15-10). Die twee onlosmaaklik gekoppelde grotes is ook gekoppel aan die meeste titelgevegte by MGM Grand met 12 elke.

Op Julie 19, Pacquiao staan voor 'n vyand met 'n bekende vegterfenis in die Mexikaanse-Amerikaanse Barrios, Aangesien Pacquiao 'n wie se beste van Mexiko se beste deur sy loopbaan verslaan het. Sedert die jaar 2003, Pacquiao het geslaan 12 Mexikaanse of Mexikaanse-Amerikaanse vegters, insluitend legendes soos Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales, Marco Antonio Barrera en Antonio Margarito. Hierdie oorwinnings bevat 'n paar van Pacquiao se opvallendste oorwinnings en het hom gehelp om die aandag en aanbidding van boks se hondsdol Mexikaanse fanbase te verdien.

Terwyl u al hierdie prestasies opneem, Pacquiao het respek verkry van 'n wye verskeidenheid bokslaters wat hul gunsteling “Manny Moments” voor die Julie gedeel het 19 gebeurtenis. Onder diegene wat oor Pacquiao gepraat het, was voormalige teenstanders Thurman en Barrera, sowel as voormalige sparringvennoot en weltergewigkampioen Shawn Porter.

'Dit was nog nooit 'n oomblik vir my as dit by Manny Pacquiao kom nie,'Sê Thurman. 'My gunsteling oomblik is elke keer as hy die agt punch-kombinasies afgesper het. Met 'n teenstander op die toue, wêreldklas kompetisie, En hy skiet net 'n agtste punt af. Dit het al baie keer gebeur, Maar elke keer as ek dit gesien het, Dit het 'n bietjie vreugde in my hart ontlok. '

'Ek het twee gunsteling Manny -oomblikke, Die eerste is toe hy Oscar de la Hoya geklop het, Omdat ek gedink het dit is onmoontlik,"Said Barrera. 'Ek het gedink dit sou nooit gebeur nie en toe bly de la Hoya sit en dit was verby. Die tweede een was die manier waarop hy Miguel Cotto geklop het. Dit was twee Hall of Famers en Manny wat regtig indrukwekkend was in daardie gewigsklas.

'Wat Manny so spesiaal maak, is die band en nabyheid met sy aanhangers. Sy hart is wat almal soos hy maak. Hy hou daarvan om 'n show aan te bied, Gee dit alles vir die aanhangers, en die belangrikste, Hy word 'n vegter as hy in die ring stap. ”

'Ek het 'n seldsame Manny Pacquiao -oomblik, Want daar is nie te veel wat met die legende kan spaar nie,'Sê Porter. 'Hy het my en my pa na die Filippyne gevlieg en ons het die eerste keer ontmoet en hy was soos' okay dit gaan lekker wees. 'Ek was geskok, want dit was die eerste keer dat iemand met my in die ring behandel het, asof dit nie 'n groot saak was nie ... nadat ek met my hoek gepraat het, het ek 'n stap na die middel van die ring geneem, en dit was soos die oomblik soos' jy ', het ek die Manny Pacquiao gehad.' 10 sekondes. En hy het my in die eerste minuut met 'n goeie reguit linkerhand gevang en dit het my wakker gemaak. Ek was soos 'daardie ou het 'n bietjie krag', En toe was ons na die resies. ”

Wanneer u die uitslae van hierdie Saterdag voorspel, Julie 19 matchup, Die Oddsmakers het die jonger regerende kampioen Barrios as 'n weddenskap gunsteling geïnstalleer. Bekende afrigter en boksontleder Stephen “Breadman” Edwards stem saam met die sentiment, Die beklemtoning van hoe gargantuan die taak beskikbaar is, is vir die 46-jarige.

'Dit sou 'n ongelooflike prestasie wees vir 'n 46-jarige vegter om terug te kom en die weltergewig-wêreldtitel te verower,'Sê Edwards. 'Dit is moeilik om selfs voor te stel dat iemand 'n paar jaar weg is en dan terugkom 46 En wen dit. In alle eerlikheid, Ek dink dat dit 'n onmoontlike taak kan wees. As iemand dit kan doen, Manny kan dit doen, Maar op die oomblik verkies ek Barrios. ”

Ondanks die kans, Verskeie van die bevolkte boksers verkies Pacquiao om die ontsteltenis af te trek, Portier ingesluit, Barrera, en die regerende WBA Super Lightweight -wêreldkampioen Gary Antuanne Russell regeer.

'Pacquiao is 'n stoot in die soort man en hy kan kraak,"het Russell gesê. 'Hy het gewys dat sy stootkrag die werk kan doen. Barrios is jeugdig en 'n selektiewe puncher. Ek dink nie hy sal daar kan sit en foto's neem nie. Manny sal jou laat betaal as jy te lank wag. Hy het altyd gewys dat hy die stryd aan die gang wil kry.

“Pacquiao is 'n hoë-tempo-vegter en Barrios het met daardie tempo gesukkel. Barrios is 'n moeilike deelnemer, Maar ek voel asof hy nog baie het om te leer. Manny was daar saam met baie kampioene en ek glo dat hy die gereedskap in sy arsenaal het en dat dit die nag van die geveg sal wys. Barrios sal die wêreld moet skok. Hy moet genoeg wys om Manny hom te respekteer. Ek leun na Manny om oorwinnend te wees, Maar mag die beste man wen. ”

'Ek glo wel dat Manny Pacquiao Mario Barrios gaan klop,'Sê Porter. 'Ek weet dat almal oor sy ouderdom praat. Dit is die tema, Kan die ou man die jong man klop? Ek dink hierdie ou man gaan altyd te veel wees totdat hy die handskoene opgehang het. ”

'Ek dink dit sal 'n baie interessante stryd wees,'Sê Barrera. 'Pacquiao is 'n uitstekende vegter, 'n wêreldkampioen van agt afdelings wat dit alles sal gee en wat daarvan hou om op 'n show te hou. Dit is 'n geveg waar ons hierdie ouens regtig sal sien bots en die ondersteuners die regte wenners maak.

'Barrios is 'n aktiewe verdedigende kampioen, En hoewel hy nie so ingewikkeld is soos die ander huidige kampioene nie, Hy sal gevaarlik wees sodra hy in die ring stap. Ek wil graag sien dat Pacquiao wen as gevolg van die legende wat hy is. Ek gaan saam met Manny Pacquiao as die wenner, Maar as Barrios wen, Dit sal wees omdat hy bewys dat hy nou die beter vegter is. '

Maak nie saak wie jy sien wen op Julie nie 19, Die aand vorm ongetwyfeld histories, En ondanks enige twyfel wat van buite kom, Pacquiao het die sterk selfgeloof uitgespreek dat hy weer die ring as wêreldkampioen sal verlaat.

'Die vuur, Bepaling en gretigheid om hard te werk is nog steeds daar,'Sê Pacquiao. 'Ek geniet dit nog steeds om die berge te bestuur. Nie elke vegter het hierdie gevoel nie. Dit is 'n seën, Omdat ek in my loopbaan soveel groot gevegte deurgemaak het, is ek nog steeds hier. Ek is terug ... dit sou baie vir my beteken om weer wêreldkampioen te word. Manny Pacquiao gee altyd verrassings aan die aanhangers. Dit is my passie. ”

Angel Fierro: “I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR PITBULL CRUZ. HE DOESN’T INTIMIDATE ME & HE’S AN ORDINARY FIGHTER!" – Fierro Talks Training With Robert Garcia & More Ahead of Cruz Rematch on Saturday, Julie 19

Hard-Hitting Fierro Talks Training with Robert Garcia & Previews Mexico vs. Mexico Rematch Against Former World Champion Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz onSaterdag, Julie 19 on PBC Pay-Per-View Event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

RIVERSIDE, SOOS. – July 1, 2025 -Hard-hitting Mexican contenderAngel “Tashiro” Fierrosent a direct message to his compatriot and rivalIsaac "Pitbull" Cruzduring a tense face-to-face at the Los Angeles press conference in June to announce their rematch, and has continued to express his ire toward Cruz as we near their showdown on Saturday, Julie 19 as part of a PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

“When I say something to him, like I did at that press conference, I follow through,” said Fierro. “I promised I would show him that I’m elite and this fight will be more of the same. I have no respect for ‘Pitbull’ Cruz. He doesn’t intimidate me and he’s an ordinary fighter. He’s a human and he gets tired too. I stayed true to myself when I told him I’m coming for war.”

The biggest change for Fierro since the first showdown is the addition of famed trainer Robert Garcia, who has led his training camp and will do the same for his corner on July 19. By joining forces with Garcia, Fierro believes he’s unlocked a better version of himself that he’ll display in the rematch.

“It’s been a tough camp,” said Fierro. “I’ve never trained with this much intensity before. Robert Garcia and the whole team has been excellent. We’ve made changes to my sparring sessions and I believe we’re going to deliver a great result.

“I’ve gone through changes physically, mentally and nutritionally. It’s going to make me formidable. I’m in the best shape of my life and my diet is on point. I’m not worried about making weight and that’s how an elite fighter should come into a fight.”

The Tijuana-native’s first fight against Cruz was a tale of two halves, as Cruz controlled the early rounds before Fierro appeared to turn the tide, out landing his opponent 132 te 106 across the final five frames. While he believes he’ll be even better on July 19, Fierro is confident that he proved his elite status in the first fight, even if Cruz doesn’t.

“I’ve worked on myself and correcting the mistakes I made in the first fight that would have changed the outcome,” said Fierro. “Robert Garcia is very experienced and I watched the fight with him to work on what I need to do to win this time.

“I didn’t keep my hands up 100% of the time like I needed to. That was the main mistake at the time. ‘Pitbull’ underestimated me – and still does- but I already showed him that I’m not middling fighter. I proved I’m elite and now I’m working twice as hard.”

In addition to showing Cruz his level, Fierro believes that he took advantage of the big stage in February on the undercard of David Benavidez vs. David Morrell Jr. to show the Mexican people that he was a true contender. With that extra motivation, he’s promised to show that he will be the next big star to take off from the boxing-rich country.

“At the beginning of the fight, people looked at me like I was a nobody,” said Fierro. “But by the halfway point, I felt a shift, and people were already seeing me as a big-time fighter. I felt like Rocky in Russia! I proved that I’m not just a talker. I’m a true Mexican…We’re two Mexicans with pride on the line and looking to show who the next great Mexican boxing star will be. I’m fighting to bring honor to my country.”

Having already delivered a fight that’s garnering early Fight of the Year consideration, Fierro has promised to deliver even more action the second time around, and perhaps bring back memories of Fierro’s personal favorite all-Mexican rematch Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Erik Morales II.

“You’re going to see a different ‘Tashiro’ and it’s going to be an even better war than the first one,” said Fierro. “The fans will be on their feet from the very first round. I will beat ‘Pitbull’ – no matter what. He better prepare well and I think he will, because deep down he knows what he’s up against.”

PT and will feature two-division world champion Badou Jack battling unbeaten top-rated contender Marcus Browne for the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title, former world champion Rau’shee Warren taking on France’s Nordine Oubaali for the vacant WBC Bantamweight World Championship and unbeaten WBA Interim Featherweight Champion Jhack Tepora defending against former world champion Hugo Ruiz.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Wednesday in Las Vegas:

MANNY PACQUIAO

I feel so blessed and happy because of the excitement around this fight. It’s come from the fans here in the U.S. and media all over the world. I want to go out there and make all the people happy.

The knockout in my last fight felt good. It felt like my younger days against Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto en ander. That fight was a big challenge for me to recover from the fight against Jeff Horn. People said that my career was done. But I never got discouraged, I just worked hard and made the knockout against Lucas Matthysse happen.

These days I don’t only train my body, but also my mind. I’m a Senator, so my mind is very busy. I also play chess regularly and read books to keep my mind sharp.

People writing me off after the Jeff Horn fight was good for me. I’m not mad at anyone who thought that. It just became a challenge and a test to me of whether or not I could still show my best.

Being back here at MGM Grand makes me so happy. It’s an honor to be in this position. I remember my first fight here in the U.S. was at MGM Grand. I will never forget that moment and now I get to come back here and do it again.

I know he is going to counter me but we’re ready for that. What happened in the Juan Manuel Marquez fight will not happen again. It was a mistake and I learned that mistake. We’ve worked on that in this training camp. I am prepared for Broner’s style.

This is a challenge because it is my first fight as a 40-year-old. I have something to prove to everyone about what that means. Age is just a number. What matters is how you prepare and that you’re working hard.

I don’t need to dislike my opponent to want a knockout. I’m just doing my job in the ring. As die uitklophou kom, dit kom. We’re hoping to have that opportunity Saturday. I have to pressure him to make him open up. Wherever he goes, I’ll be there.

I’ve always stayed disciplined throughout my years in boxing. I’m always making sure everything is in order and on point during my workouts. That plus cross-training with activities like basketball has helped me stay in this position all these years.

Adrien BRONER

I’m not up here to talk a lot of trash. I’ve put in the work. Dit is veg tyd. After I win, everything is going to be different.

People are talking a lot about Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather again, but I’m pretty sure Floyd is retired. I feel like people are trying to throw me to the wolves and overlook me.

He doesn’t remind me of any past opponents just like I’m not going to remind him of anyone he’s fought. He’s never fought anyone like me. Every fighter has similarities, but truly every fighter is different. If I remind him of Floyd Mayweather, I hope his arm doesn’t hurt after this one.

Look at my last five fights. I’ve fought world champion after world champion. I don’t duck any fights. I don’t care how many weight classes he’s won titles in.

I’m not in awe of any fighter, especially Manny Pacquiao. I hope he’s in awe of me. I’m a one of a kind fighter too. I’ve made history in this sport.

I just have to go out and win this fight, then everything is going to start going my way. Saterdag nag, Ek sal oorwin. This is a defining moment in my career and it’s going to be one of the biggest nights of my life.

Pacquiao hasn’t fought me so I’m not worried about what he says about me right now. He’s going to have a different outlook after he fights me Saturday night.

I’m going to turn Las Vegas into a big block party after I win on Saturday night. It’s going to change my career.

Manny Pacquiao has done a lot for the sport. I’m going to beat him up and have a drink with him afterward. I grew up in boxing and I know what’s going on. It’s a business, but don’t get it twisted, I’m going to dominate and win.

This is going to be a hell of a fight. I’ve trained so hard and I want everyone to know that I play around a lot, but when that bell rings, Ek gaan om gereed te wees. I didn’t come here to lose or lay down. I came here to get this victory. Real talk.

BUBOY FERNANDEZ, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

I’m very thankful to this great team that we have that has prepared Manny for this challenge. I know that we worked very hard for this. I cannot fly without wings, but I can bring the belt back to the Philippines.

Manny has trained hard and we expect a good fight. This is the hardest I’ve seen him train and it will be seen in the ring Saturday night

FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

We’ve trained really hard for this fight. Manny is looking really good and is in tremendous shape. I’m sure Adrien is also because they’re both great fighters. I wish both men luck and may the best man win.

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner’s Co-Trainer

We’ve had a tremendous training camp. Adrien is ready to go. Everyone who knows me, knows that all I have in this world in my word, and I don’t break it for nobody. I’m giving you my word that Adrien will put on a spectacular performance on Saturday night.

I’m guaranteeing that Adrien will send Manny back to the Senate, beltless, without the WBA title. I guarantee it.

MIKE STAFFORD, Broner’s Co-Trainer

Adrien came to me when he was 55 pounds and seven-years-old. He was an underdog then and he came back day after day. People thought he was a bad kid, but I told people that I saw something in him.

Freddie Roach didn’t know who Adrien was years ago when we were getting ready to work with the Olympic team together. But he got to know Adrien, and on Saturday night, Manny is going to know him too. That’s for sure.

JOE RAMOS, COO of Manny Pacquiao Promotions

We are honored, humbled and proud to be a part of this amazing event. This will be Manny’s 20ste fight in Las Vegas and we’ve been treated amazingly throughout the entire promotion. I’m thankful to all of Team Pacquiao for the work they do and helping make everything run smoothly.

We all know that Adrien is ready and we expect nothing but the best from him and his team on Saturday night.

MGM Grand is known for the lion, and Lenny the Lion is right there when you enter the building. Saterdagaand, Manny will show his heart of a lion for fans all over the world and prove once again that he’s the king of the jungle.

LEONARD Ellerbe, Uitvoerende hoof van Mayweather Promotions

About three and a half years ago I sat here opposite this great legend in Manny Pacquiao. I’ve studied this man for many years and today he’s still one of the best welterweights in the world. He still has tremendous explosiveness and power, but more importantly the experience to beat any welterweight in the world.

Pacquiao has been doing this for so many years that we forget how truly great this man is. He’s in a very comfortable position right now. He’s super motivated and thats what is going to make this a great fight on Saturday night.

Coming into this fight we all know that there have been rumblings about what Adrien needs to do to win this fight. But what I’ve witnessed firsthand this entire promotion, is that this man has dedicated himself 100 persent. He’s done everything his coaches have asked of him and he’s exceeded those expectations.

Adrien Broner is ready, gefokus, and he’s put in the work. He’s put himself in the best situation to be successful on Saturday night. I expect nothing less than a great virtuoso performance. He didn’t cut one corner this training camp. He wants to prove to everyone, that everything people have said about him can be thrown out the window. He’s coming to show the entire world what he’s all about.

RAVONE Little, CEO of About Billions Promotions

Adrien trained really hard for this fight. I’d like to thank Kevin Cunningham and Mike Stafford, they put together a great game plan. Adrien will be ready.

There’s been a lot of talk from Pacquiao’s side about getting a knockout, but you’re the one getting knocked out. You’ve been knocked out, we haven’t.

This our first time on this stage and in this position and it’s been very enjoyable. Adrien and I have put a lot into this over the last 10-15 jaar. We’re pulling for our guy 100 percent.

STEPHEN Espinoza, President Sports & gebeurtenis Programmering, Showtime Networks Inc.

I’m not going to come up here and tell you all anything you don’t already know about Manny Pacquiao or Adrien Broner. These are two guys who have operated at the highest level of boxing for years. In Manny’s case, literally decades. But I will remind you of some things.

Manny Pacquiao is a Hall of Famer, geen twyfel oor dit. He’s a boxing legend who’s generous, humble and soft-spoken outside of the ring. But most of all, he takes tough fights. The last 20 opponents Pacquiao has had have been current, future or former world champions.

Adrien Broner has faced nine world champions in 37 career fights. He’s obviously demonstrated himself as being an elite fighter. He’s flashy, flamboyant, sometimes outrageous, but he’s always unapologetically himself.

On Saturday night, everything changes. Pacquiao is no longer soft-spoken and Broner is no longer fun-loving and outgoing. They transform themselves into two of the most athletically gifted and ferocious warriors in our sport. Above all these two guys have heart, which is the rarest thing in this sport.

Between the two of them, they’ve won titles in 12 weight divisions. That’s the third most of all-time, trailing just Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and Pacquiao vs. De La Hoya.

We know this is an elite fight and these fighters are in elite company. But on Saturday night, none of that matters. It’s not a contest of who has the best resume. This is a high level contest with high stakes between two of the most talented and athletically gifted fighters in the sport today. A win in this fight catapults each of these men to bigger things. It doesn’t get any more significant than that.

RICHARD STORM, President of Entertainment and Sports for MGM Resorts International

I’d like to welcome back Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, two of the sport’s best fighters, back to Las Vegas and MGM Grand. Fans are always excited to watch these two fighters compete in the ring and we’re confident that Saturday’s event will kick off another exciting year of sports and entertainment programming for MGM Resorts.

I’m thankful to all of the people who have helped make this fight happen here in Las Vegas. We look forward to seeing everyone at the MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night for this sensational event.

LAS VEGAS(Januarie 15, 2019) – With fight week underway in Las Vegas, former four-division world championAdrien “Die Probleem” Bronerhosted a media workout Monday before he battlesManny Pacquiaofor the World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title Saturday, Januarie 19 in the main event of a SHOWTIME PPV®event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Tickets for the event, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at $100, not including applicable service charges, and can be purchased online through AXS.com, charge by phone at 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

Broner, along with trainerKevin Cunningham, have been at Barry’s Boxing in Las Vegas finishing up training camp after spending most of camp in West Palm Beach, Florida preparing to face boxing’s only eight-division world champion in Pacquiao. Here is what they had to say Monday at Barry’s Boxing:

Adrien BRONER

Every fighter is different, but I know if I touch him flush, I’ll put him out. It’s no secret, he’s been to sleep before.

I’m in shape and ready to go. We had a tremendous training camp. I could have made weight weeks ago. We’re prepared to go out and execute.

I’ve been here before, and even though I haven’t been in a fight of exactly this magnitude, I’m just treating it like any other fight. He’s another opponent.

A lot of people are saying that Pacquiao’s age will be a factor, but I’m not looking at it like that. You see guys like Floyd Mayweather who stay undefeated at an older age. I’m just focused on being me. As long as I do what I have to do, Ek sal oorwin.

We’re ready for whatever this fight is going to end up being. It could definitely be a war. I’ve always been an underdog. I came from the trenches and I’m bringing that mentality into the ring.

I can take over boxing with a win over Pacquiao. There are a lot of great fighters in this sport, but they just don’t bring what I bring to the table. With a win like this, it would put me right where I was always meant to be.

I’ve always wanted to fight the big names like this and I knew that I just had to keep working hard and the time would come.

Once that bell rings, I’ll make my adjustments and go ahead and get my victory. I don’t have anything I want to go out and prove. It’s just about winning. That will say everything.

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner se Trainer

Preparation has been great. Kamp het geweldig. Adrien is ready to go and extremely focused for this fight. He came into camp that way and it’s stayed that way.

We added some things this training camp, because we know he’s fighting a legendary fighter. This is one that he has to have and he realizes it. I expect a spectacular performance.

I think on Saturday night that Adrien is going to be that guy that everyone expected him to be from day one. It will open a lot of eyes. I believe that we put the work in. I can’t see Adrien coming out of there without a victory.

The key to victory is for Adrien to just be himself. He has to do what he does best with no hesitation. He’s going to throw the right punches at the right time.

Pacquiao still throws combinations but they don’t come in as fast or as sharp as they used to. He can throw as many punches as he wants to throw, but if they’re not landing, it doesn’t mean anything.

I think Adrien is the quicker fighter. Quickness offsets speed, all day, every day. It’s all about being quick enough to time the guy with your hand speed. It’s different than just throwing a bunch of fast punches.

 LAS VEGAS(Januarie 10, 2019) – Former two-division world championBadou Jack hosted a media workout at Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas Thursday as he prepares to take on unbeaten top contenderMarcus Browne for the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title Saturday, Januarie 19 on the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV® event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

Tickets for the event, which is promoted by MP Promotions, Mayweather Promotions and TGB Promotions in association with About Billions Promotions, are on sale now and start at $100, not including applicable service charges, and can be purchased online through AXS.com, charge by phone at 866-740-7711 or in person at any MGM Resorts International box office.

A resident of Las Vegas, Jack is preparing to fight in his adopted home city for the 11stetime as a pro on January 19. He will be making his third appearance on SHOWTIME PPV, having won a light heavyweight crown against Nathan Cleverly in August 2017 on the Mayweather vs. McGregor event.

Here is what Jack, his trainer Lou Del Valle and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe had to say Thursday:

JACK Badou

I feel young and like I’m still improving. I take care of my body every day. Age won’t be a problem for me, it’ll be an advantage.

I’m a confident fighter. I don’t need to talk and brag about everything. I’m just comfortable; binne en buite die ring.

I’m battle-tested. I’ve been in there in tough fights. He hasn’t been tested like that, so we’ll have to see what he’s capable of when the pressure is on.

Marcus Browne is an athletic and skilled fighter. But it’s a little different to fight on the prospect and contender level versus on this world class level.

One of my biggest strengths in the ring is my ability to adjust. My afrigter, Lou Del Valle, has really helped in that regard. He’s been in there as a world champion like me on the big stage. He knows so much about boxing.

This is nothing new to me. I’ve been on a lot of big cards, so this is a regular day on the job. It’s exciting as always and I can’t wait to put on a good show.

I feel like it’s my duty to give back outside of the ring. With this platform that I have, why wouldn’t I? We should use this platform for something deeper than boxing.

On the Pacquiao vs. Broner SHOWTIME PPV main event:

It’s a really good fight. Pacquiao looked pretty good in his last fight, but Broner is very talented. Anything can happen in boxing, especially because Broner has a good chin and can fight. He just has to stay focused.

LOU DEL VALLE, Jack’s Trainer

Camp has been amazing. Every camp has just been better and better. He has improved on his weaknesses each time we work together. It’s incredible that a guy who’s 35-years-old can keep performing the way he is and still be getting better.

We know that we have to be careful because Marcus is a good fighter. Everyone we fight at this level is quality. We’re only fighting champions and guys with the top pedigree. The better the fighter, the better we get.

I don’t think that Marcus Browne wants to go the distance with Badou Jack. If you notice in previous fights, guys who fight Badou are not the same after. He takes a lot out of them and I think it’s going to happen again. Marcus is going to go for the early knockout, but we’re ready.

The experience gap is a big difference. I had only fought one 10-rounder when I first fought for the title, but I still thought that I could beat him. The experience that Virgil Hill had over me was really difficult to overcome and I think you’ll see something similar play out in this fight.

LEONARD Ellerbe, Uitvoerende hoof van Mayweather Promotions

I think that this is going to be a very competitive fight. You have two guys in this fight that are very hungry. There are a lot of options in the light heavyweight division, and it’s all about timing. This fight gives both guys a chance to prove that they want to be the best and make a great statement.

This fight has a very good chance of stealing the show. I like the fact that Marcus is very confident. If you’re in a big fight, you have to be. Badou is even-keeled, and he comes with his workman-like approach to every fight.

Experience is everything in big fights. It’s a big deal when you’re under those lights. Going the distance with top guys, and knowing how to break guys down, it all plays a big role in fights like this.

LOS ANGELES(Januarie 10, 2019) – – SenatorManny “Pacman” Pacquiao, boxing’s only eight-division world champion, and former four-division world championAdrien “Die Probleem” Bronerhosted media days in Los Angeles Wednesday as they near their SHOWTIME PPV®clash taking place Saturday, Januarie 19 uit die MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao will end his two-year hiatus from a U.S. boxing ring when he returns to Las Vegas to defend his World Boxing Association Welterweight World Title against Broner. Along with co-trainerBuboy Fernandezand longtime trainerFreddie Roach, Pacquiao spoke to media and worked out for the cameras at Wild Card Boxing Club.

Broner traveled to Los Angeles from his current training camp in Las Vegas to talk to media along with his trainerKevin Cunningham at Ten Goose Boxing Gym, after spending most of training in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Here is what the media day participants had to say from the split-site media day Wednesday:

MANNY PACQUIAO

My journey in this sport is still continuing. I’ve accomplished everything I’ve wanted to, but I also want to continue to keep my name at the top. Even at 40-years-old, I can still show the best of Manny Pacquiao. I’m going to give the fans the speed and power that they’re used to seeing.

I’m sure that Broner is focused on this fight. They are working hard and I expect him to be in great condition. We know how his trainer pushes him and has been pushing him in their training camp.

I’m not taking this fight lightly. I don’t listen to any gossip about Adrien Broner, I just focus on my training. I want to be in 100 percent condition and ready for the fight on January 19.

Adrien Broner is fast with his hands and he’s overall a good boxer. This is a big challenge that I’m excited for.

Me, Freddie and Buboy know each other well and we have a great coaching staff right now. I’m happy with how everything has gone in training for this fight.

Rest and recovery is definitely a key part of training. Sometimes when I work hard in the gym, my body can’t fully recover by the next day, so I’ve had to work more rest into the schedule. But as soon as I can, I’m back in the gym working hard.

“op Januarie 19 I’m going to do my best. I can’t say a prediction, but I’m going to do the same thing I did for my last fight. My trainers know how hard I’ve worked in this camp for this win.

My plan is to take it one fight at a time. I can’t talk about future fights until I do what I have to on January 19. You can ask me again after this one.

This fight means a lot. It’s my first fight at the age of 40 so I’m excited to give my best and show the world what I can still do. Boxing is my passion, and public service is my mission. I love to bring honor to my country.

Adrien BRONER

Growing up and seeing Pacquiao fight, of course I always wanted to fight him. I’m a competitor. One day I want to be the best, and to be the best you have to beat the best. It starts here.

This is my first PPV but I was always supposed to be here. God doesn’t make mistakes. After this victory, I will be taking over the sport of boxing. This is just the beginning.

His last fight he did stop Matthysse, so I’m pretty sure he still has power. But I’m going to be ready, I’m going to be ready for whatever he brings to the table. We’re in shape to get it done, I can tell you that.

This win makes me an icon. It makes me what I always wanted to be, and what everybody always thought I would be. A win here and I’m a legend overnight.

It’s going to be a hell of a fight. I just can’t wait till round one. Everybody I fight says they are going to knock me out. That should be the objective of every fighter, Maar dit is nie gaan gebeur.

“Die hemel is die limiet vir my, but in boxing you have to take it one fight at a time. You can’t overlook anybody in this sport. My main focus is Manny Pacquiao and I will be ready.

A win would mean a lot. It turns a new page in my book. It’s another beginning. I’m already a star in boxing, but a win here and I’m taking over the sport. This is just the beginning.

It’s not a mysteryhe’s been knocked out before. Not once, not twice, but three times. And he’s been put down a lot, too. There are many blueprints to beat Manny. I think I have all the tools to beat him. I will show all the tools in my arsenal and show all the weaknesses in his.

BUBOY FERNANDEZ, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

I think it’s going to be a knockout. If Broner opens the door, we’re going to get it early. I’ve seen from previous fights that he’s a slow starter. So we need to get inside and go first.

We know that Broner is a good counter-puncher with a strong right uppercut. Broner is a real fighter and a smart fighter in the ring.

I’m happy that Manny has shown that he moves as well as ever, even at 40-years-old. He’s learning even more now. I told the team that I think he’s already prepared for this fight.

We just want him to maintain this shape and energy level. Manny is 110 persent gereed. I don’t think there’s a fighter who can keep up with what Manny brings.

FREDDIE ROACH, Pacquiao’s Co-Trainer

“Ek kan nie wag vir hierdie stryd. Camp has been great and he’s been training very well. Everything is back to normal and he’s looked amazing.

Manny and I have been together 15 jaar, so I had no reason to ever be mad at Manny. Everything has worked out really well and we’re working together as a team right now.

I’m working on the game plan for how to fight Broner. He’s a counterpuncher who doesn’t like to come forward too much. Manny will have to be the aggressor in this fight and use his feints to trap this guy into making it more of a fight.

I feel we’re going to see an aggressive Manny Pacquiao. There’s a rumor that Manny has been telling people he’s looking for a knockout. I love that attitude. I think his knockout of Lucas Matthysse was so satisfying and he saw that that’s what the fans really want. I think that’s going to carry over to this fight.

Pacquiao and I have a deal. Once his work ethic drops, I’m going to tell him and he’s agreed he’ll retire. His work ethic is unbelievable right now. He hasn’t slowed down at all. He hit me with a shot in the chest two or three days ago, and I’ve never been hit harder in my life.

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM, Broner se Trainer

Everything went tremendous in Florida. I’ve never seen Adrien this focused and I’ve been around him for years. He came to camp with a look on his face like this is the one he’s got to have. He prepared for nine hard weeks and we didn’t miss a beat. Everting was on point.

He’s ready. He’s focused. We had tremendous sparring. Everything went great. We didn’t have any hiccups, any injuries or setbacks. He’s ready to go and he’s going to look spectacular on January 19.

Manny fights with a high punch volume and he’s aggressive with it. But sometimes he’s reckless with it. Adrien is a sharp counter-puncher. He gets off first and last. If Adrien comes to the ring mentally sharp like I know he will, because physically he’s as sharp as ever, as long as his mind is on point, I think it’s going to be a long night for Manny and it’s the wrong fight for Manny.

There’s a lot there to exploit. I know Manny throws a lot of punches and Adrien doesn’t throw a lot, but this fight is not about matching Manny’s punch count. This fight is about throwing the right shots at the right time.

There’s a big difference in Adrien from the last camp. He didn’t take Jessie Vargas as seriously as he’s taking this legendary eight-time world champion in Manny Pacquiao. There were some things that went on that showed he wasn’t as focused as he is for a fight like this. He’s just been on point. He’s not screwing around. He’s not looking for days off to go have a good time. He’s just locked in on Manny Pacquiao.

Cincinnati’s Broner, one of boxing’s most popular and colorful personalities, is training under the tutelage of Kevin Cunningham in nearby West Palm Beach, Fla.

Here is what Broner and Cunningham had to say Tuesday:

Adrien BRONER

This fight is real important. This is a hell of a fight not only for me but for the sport. This is a fight that needed to happen for the sport and we are going to put on a hell of a show.

I always knew that one day I would be having fights like this. Honestly I thought he [Pacquiao] would be done with boxing by now but I always knew I would have a fight of this magnitude on this platform, pay-per-view and all and now I’m here.

I knew what to expect. I knew he [Kevin] was going to be real strict and I just came prepared.Ready to put it all in and put it all on the line.

On what he does in his down time:

I try to rest as much as possible. I’m training so much and training real hard. This will be my second workout of the day and then after this I have another workout at 8:30 namiddag. so that will be the third workout for the day so you know all my off time I try to eat properly, stay hydrated and stay focused.

On how it feels to train in a gym that hosted greats like Muhammad Ali:

It’s lovely. I never knew this gym existed and this is my first time ever being here or ever hearing about this gym being legendary. Muhammad Ali paved the way for guys like me and Sugar Ray Leonard and everyone else so, it’s legendary.

I always tell other fighters and other people it takes more to be a star than just boxing. I just have everything it takes to be a mega star.

On Pacquiao’s last fight against Lucas Matthysse:

I didn’t see it but I heard he looked good. I don’t know what to expect. I’m just training for the best Pacquiao. And I’m going to go out there and do what I have to do to get the victory.

How do you feel training in South Florida?

I’m not focused on the clubbing and stuff and all that stuff will be here after the fight. Ek is 110 percent focused on this fight.

What he will do after the Pacquiao Fight?

Boxing you have to take it one fight at a time. My main focus is getting past Manny Pacquiao first and then we can talk about other things.

On whether or not Pacquiao has a weakness:

It’s not a mystery. He has seven losses. It’s not a mystery that he can lose but anyone can lose on any given day. It’s whoever prepares the best and I’m preparing myself to do what I need to do. I don’t care about stopping him or whether it’s a unanimous decision, as long as I’m victorious.

On whether or not this is the biggest fight of his career:

This is definitely my biggest fight, biggest magnitude, biggest platform I’ve ever been on but you never know. I could probably go in there and make this look like the easiest fight of my career you just never know.

KEVIN CUNNINGHAM

I think he’shaving even a better camp than the last. He’s added a new strength and conditioning coach and everything is working out perfect and camp is going extremely well and smooth. AB’s looking fast and explosive. Ek het geen klagtes.

Adrien’s got everything; he’s a real throwback fighter. Hy het spoed, he’s got power, he’s got quickness, he’s got footwork. He can punch and he can bang and he can box.He’s got skills and he can be slick if he wants to be. So he’s the total package.

We have an idea of the way the fight is going to go. We’ve studied tons of Pacquiao footage and he pretty much fights the same every fight. Manny’s a rhythm fighter so it’s all about getting in his rhythm. He pretty much does his thing. But outside of that I’ve never really seen him make too many adjustments. He’s pretty much the same guy.
