LAS VEGAS (Aibreán 29, 2015) - Floyd "Airgead" Mayweather agus Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao faced off for only the third time Dé Céadaoin during the final press conference for their long-awaited welterweight world championship unification fight this Dé Sathairn, Bealtaine 2, ag an MGM Grand Garden Arena, beo ar íoc in aghaidh an-amharc.

 

The last time the boxing superstars met face-to-face was at the Los Angeles press conference to formally announce the mega-fight on Márta 11. The first time they were photographed up close and personal came at a Miami Heat basketball game in January.

 

In the most eagerly awaited showdown in years – and the richest fight in boxing history — the undefeated and universally recognized No. 1 pound-for-pound boxer Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos), an 11-time world champion in five weight divisions, will take on the fighting pride of the Philippines, Pacquiao (57-5-2, 38 Kos), the only boxer to capture world titles in eight weight classes.

 

Here is what the fighters and executives said Dé Céadaoin at the KÀ Theatre at the MGM Grand:

FLOYD Mayweather

“The only thing I can do is take it one day at a time. When the fight gets here I will go out there and do what I do best and that’s go out and fight.

 

“From the beginning of my career, I’ve always had a game plan. It’s just like chess. We make calculated moves in the ring and outside the ring. I got with the right team and surrounded myself with the right chess pieces.

 

“I’m a lot wiser than I once was. This fight sells itself. Our ultimate goal was to get to this point, whether it was Manny or another fighter.

 

“I don’t take anything away from Manny Pacquiao. He’s a solid fighter; a solid competitor and it will be an intriguing matchup come Saturday.

 

“Everything takes time, it’s all about timing. I’m glad that we had patience and didn’t rush. The time is now, this is the right time for this fight.

 

“I want to thank all the writers for being here. Some have been around since I was 10-years-old, some have been here for my 19 years in this sport. I’m thankful for all the writers, whether the stories were good stories or bad, you guys kept me relevant for 19 bliana.

 

“This fight is about one fighter who is at the top fighting another fighter who is at the top. It’s about giving you guys excitement. We don’t know how this fight is going to play out, but I believe in my skills. I believe I am going to be victorious.

 

“When I went to training camp I worked extremely hard to win this fight and I’m pretty sure Manny did the same. That’s why this is an intriguing matchup.”

MANNY PACQUIAO

“I don’t have a prediction, but I’m excited. I’m confident and I feel for the first time that I’m ready for the fight.

"I’m so happy because that feeling and that focus that I had many years ago, Is ar ais. I’m confident and relaxed.

“My love and eagerness for this fight has made me especially interested.

“I would like to invite everyone to witness the great fight between Floyd and I this Saturday.

“I want to be an example and inspiration to people.

“Before I became a boxer, I used to sleep on the street. I can’t believe that I am in this position. The boy who didn’t have food and slept on the street can have this life.

“On Saturday our goal is to make the fans happy with our performance. Both of us will work very hard to entertain the fans and give a good fight.

“I hope that both Floyd and I do our best on Saturday and to put our name in boxing history.

“The most important thing I hope for is that after the fight I can talk with Floyd about being an inspiration to people all around the world.”

Floyd Mayweather SR., Athair Mayweather ar & Traenálaí

 

“Whatever happens on Saturday, it’s going to be one-sided. Pacquiao is going to sleep.

 

“I’m a trainer, I know what’s going on with fighters. Pacquiao doesn’t have it.

 

“Everybody can say what they want to say. I’ve said it before, Pacquiao can’t punch. I’m not worried about it. I’m going to have Floyd walk him down.”

 

FREDDIE ROACH, Traenálaí Pacquiao ar

“When this fight was announced, Manny’s training level went way up. He’s really excited about this fight.

 

“I think we will win a decision and outpoint this guy. If the knockout comes then that will be a bonus.

“I think Manny likes to be the underdog. We like pulling upsets and doing things we’re not supposed to do. Manny is going to be that guy.

“We will put a lot of pressure on Floyd. Manny likes to exchange and with his hand speed, this fight will go in our favor.

“Manny is reckless, but that’s his style. He tries to win fights and people enjoy his fights. He gives it his all and sometimes you get knocked out, that’s part of boxing.”

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, POF Promotions Mayweather

 

“The worldwide attention and interest in this event has been unbelievable and Floyd and Manny deserve it.

 

“Las Vegas has a rich history of hosting the biggest and best fights in the sport. Over the years Floyd Mayweather has made the MGM his home. This will be his 11ú consecutive fight at MGM Grand and the 14ú in his career.

 

“There are two great fighters that will be fighting on Saturday night and the focus needs to be on the fighters, no one else. The focus is on the fighters on Saturday night.

 

“On May 2, Floyd faces another huge challenge in fellow world champion Manny Pacquiao, in a fight that the whole world is waiting to see. Once again Floyd is out to prove that he is The Best Ever and I know he will on Saturday night.”

 

BOB ARUM, Halla na Laochra Tionscnóra, Céim Barr

 

“This is a great promotion with two great fighters. I hope that this fight will help elevate the rest of boxing. I think based on the interest in this fight, there has been increased interest in boxing as well, and that’s great.

 

“People have spent a lot of time during this event watching Manny train, but more importantly, watching Freddie teach. It’s great to see two guys on the same wavelength, working on the strategy and then working it out in the ring.”

 

Ken HERSHMAN, Uachtarán, HBO Spóirt

 

“The journey to this fight has been a remarkable one. In addition to the great writing and reporting that all the media has been doing, HBO has been putting on terrific programs for fight fans to enjoy and bring them closer to the sport.

 

“One important note for everyone, please order the pay-per-view Saturday night early, or if possible today or tomorrow. We expect that the ordering systems will be overwhelmed. Chomh maith leis sin, there will be two undercard events starting at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT and those events can end at any time. We want to make sure that no one misses any of the main event. Tune-in and tune-in early.”

 

STEPHEN Espinoza, Feidhmeannacht na Leas-Uachtarán agus Bainisteoir Ginearálta, Showtime Spóirt

 

“This event is about two world-class athletes, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, who have been working for weeks and weeks, all of their lives really, to get to this precise moment.

 

“These two fighters have worked their entire lives to get to this moment.

 

“Floyd and Manny have great teams. Floyd will be the first one to tell you that his team deserves a lot of the credit for his success and I’ve heard Manny say very similar things.

 

“What makes this event so special and so historic, is that we have two once-in-a-generation athletes who will be meeting in the ring in about 72 uair an chloig. We are so proud to have been given the opportunity to be a part of such a highly anticipated event.”

 

RICHARD STORM, Uachtarán na Siamsaíocht & Spóirt do ionaid saoire MGM Idirnáisiúnta

 

“It is an honor for the MGM Resorts to house this highly anticipated event. Sports fans around the world will have the unique opportunity to watch two of boxing’s top champions, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, as they go toe-to-toe at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

 

“Excitement for this event has resonated throughout our MGM Resorts properties and the entire Las Vegas community.

 

“We have created additional programming at the resorts including closed circuit viewing that gives fans the chance to experience MGM’s great championship fights.

 

“We just want to thank everybody involved in this great event. We’re excited, we’re proud and we can’t wait for Saturday night.”

Leave a comment

Los Angeles, SIN MAR (Aibreán 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. Níos tábhachtaí fós, 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, atá 12-2-2 le 7 Bhuaigh ag knockout. "Meabhrach, Mothaím 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 Dé Sathairn seo chugainn."

 

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. Ag an am céanna, had he faced the opponents I did under the same circumstances, he’d have a few losses. Chun a bheith macánta, 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 2ú!"

 

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

Floyd Mayweather & Manny Pacquiao Cearnóg Off
I Showdown Clasaiceach Eile

Sa Rannóg Meáchan Welter

LAS VEGAS (Aibreán 20, 2015) — Tá sé ráite go minic go “mar a théann an rannán meáchain trom, mar sin téann dornálaíocht,” ach ní mar sin a bhí i gcónaí agus, i ndáiríre, b'fhéidir nach mbeadh sé bailí fiú nuair a bhreathnaítear air ó dhearcadh cuimsitheach ag dul siar go dtí an deireadh 19ú haois. I Dornálaíocht, Eipiciúil an údair Gearmánaigh Bertram Job, 420-leathanach caife-tábla tráchtas ar gach gné den eolaíocht milis, scríobhann sé sin, “Is é Elegance trádmharc na réaltaí caol agus nimble san aicme meáchain faoi 147-punt meáchain a mheall daoine ón taobh istigh agus daoine a bhfuil meas acu ar an áilleacht.”

 

Agus mar sin is le hiontráil tagarmharcála eile a bheidh ann i stair shaibhir na rannóige nuair a bheidh, arBealtaine 2 ag MGM Grand i Las Vegas, beo ar íoc in aghaidh an-amharc, welterweight curadh Floyd “Airgead” Mayweather (47-0, 26 Kos) glacann sé le comhtheideal Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao(57-5-2, 38 Kos) i gcruachás aontaithe a rabhthas ag súil leis le fada agus a bheidh ar an gcomhrac duaiseanna is saibhre i stair an spóirt, agus a rinne comparáidí le cuid de na matchups tosaigh in aicme meáchain atá i gcló leis an trádmharc galánta sin ar thagair Job dó.

 

Cé go Pacquiao, an t-aon trodaire riamh a bhuaigh craobh an domhain in ocht rang meáchain, agus Mayweather, a bhfuil reigned i gcúig rang meáchain, nach ndearna siad feachtais go hiomlán nó fiú go príomha mar meáchain welter, is beag an t-iontas é go dtagann an crosbhealach is tábhachtaí dá ngairmeacha beatha sa roinn chéanna ar a bhfuil an oiread sin de mhórscéalta na dornálaíochta ar eolas go príomha..

 

An “caighdeán óir” dá bhfanann gach welterweights an déanach, Sugar Ray Robinson iontach. Rugadh Walker Smith Jr., bhí an leanbh tanaí nár throid riamh i bout ceadaithe ag aon leibhéal ina chlib leis an gcóitseálaí George Gainford chuig comórtas amaitéarach i Kingston, N.Y.. Nuair a fiafraíodh de an raibh meáchan eitilt air theastaigh uaidh dul isteach, Bhí Gainford ar tí diúltú a rá nuair a tharraing Smith ar a mhuin agus dúirt sé, “troidfidh mé.” Mar a tharla sé amach, Bhí cárta AAU ag Gainford – bhí ceann de dhíth ort le bheith deimhnithe mar dhuine neamhghairmiúil – in ainm Ray Robinson, duine dá dhornálaithe a thug suas an spórt. Bhuaigh Smith/Robinson cinneadh ceithre bhabhta, agus, cé nach raibh a fhios ag aon duine é an uair sin, dá bhrí sin a rugadh finscéal.

 

Bhí Robinson 85-0 mar amaitéarach roimh casadh pro ag 19 i 1940. De réir 1951, bhí sé 128-1-2 le 84 buanna buaite. Cé go bhfuil cuimhne air freisin as an teideal meánmheáchain a bhuachan cúig huaire, Níor chaill Robinson riamh mar welterweight, a bhuaigh chomh minic agus chomh láidir go bhfuil an traenálaí legendary, Eddie Futch, ar athraíodh a ionad chun breathnú ar sin, “Bhí gach rud aige. Scileanna dornálaíochta, cumhacht punching, smig iontach, neart meabhrach. Ní raibh aon rud nach bhféadfadh sé a dhéanamh.”

 

Bhí macalla thar na bearta ag Robinson freisin, a bhfuil b'fhéidir ina chuid riachtanach de chomhdhéanamh meabhrach aon Trodaire iontach. Ní chuidíonn fiú rian amhrais ar a gcumas féin le rathúlacht an fháinne. Uair amháin, nuair a cuireadh ceist air faoina chuid “cluiche gailf,” Muhammad Ali, cé nár imir gailf, d'fhreagair, “Tá mé an chuid is fearr, is mó díobh ar fad. Níor imir mé fós.”

 

Is cinnte go dtabharfaidh Mayweather an aura dovincibility sin dá chuid oibre, agus b'fhéidir ní hamháin toisc go bhfuil sé fós le cailliúint mar ghairmí. I 2013, a dúirt sé, “Ar ndóigh mothaím gan buille. Tá mé an chuid is fearr. Níl mé ag dul isteach i gcomhrac ar bith ag déanamh amach go bhfuil mé buailte. Ba mhaith liom oidhreacht a dhéanamh dom féin mar an trodaire is mó a chuaigh isteach san fháinne riamh.”

 

Pacquiao, agus b'fhéidir nach bhfuil sé mar bhriathar, nach lú slán ina chóras creidimh féin. Is iad na bearta ollmhóra tallainne agus swagger a fhágann Mayweather vs. Ócáid nach mór a fheiceáil Pacquiao. Cé acu de na trodaithe sármhaithe seo is féidir leis an duine eile lúbadh ar a thoil? Cé a mbeidh a ainm scríofa i gcló níos mó sa leabhar mór meáchain welter?

 

Tá Halla na Laochra Idirnáisiúnta Dornálaíochta ionduchtaithe 23 trodaithe a bhí, ag am amháin nó eile, seaimpíní meáchain welter. Chomh maith le Robinson, I measc na ndaoine a bhfuil a plaiceanna mar ghrásta ar an halla naofa tá Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Tomás Ó hEileann, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Oileán na Tríonóide, Julio Cesar Chavez, Pernell Whitaker, Carmen BASILIO, Henry Armstrong, Emile Griffith, Pipino Cuevas, Jose Napoles, Curtis Cokes, Barney Ros, Kid Gavilan, Wilfred Benitez, Luis Rodriguez, Mickey Walker, Fritzie Zivic, Jack Britton, Jackie Fields, Ted “Kid” Lewis agus “Mistéireach” Billy Smith. Tá Mayweather agus Pacquiao cinnte ar ndóigh dul isteach ina gcuid céimeanna chomh luath agus a bheidh siad i dteideal dul ar an mballóid..

 

Roimh Mayweather vs. Níor ghin Pacquiao aon ghanntanas comparáidí le coimhlintí meáchain welter san am atá caite atá suntasach mar gheall ar nádúr clasaiceach na babhtaí sin, freastal forleathan ar leas an phobail leo, nó an dá rud.

 

An bhfuil Mayweather vs. Is dóichí go mbeidh Pacquiao ina athuair, rá, Leonard-Duran I, a bhuaigh Duran ar chinneadh spreagúil d'aon toil i mí an Mheithimh 25, 1980, i Montreal? An epic Leonard-Hearns I, ar Meán Fómhair. 16, 1981, a chonaic Leonard, ag triall ar na scórchártaí, rally le haghaidh drámaíochta, 14ú-timpeall TKO ag Pálás Caesars? Cinneadh tromlaigh chonspóideach Oileán na Tríonóide ar De La Hoya i mí Mheán Fómhair. 18, 1999, Léirscrios aontaithe ag an Mandalay Bay? Nó an ndéanfaidh sé a mharc féin ar bhealach chomh sainiúil sin nach féidir nó nár cheart aon chomparáidí a dhéanamh?

 

Nuair a thagann sé chun babhtaí meáchain welter unforgettable, faoi ​​láthair ba chóir go mbeadh sé soiléir go bhfuil rud ar bith agus gach rud indéanta. Déanfaidh Mayweather agus Pacquiao stair, agus cuir leis, trí iarracht a dhéanamh cinniúint gach duine a lúbadh dá chuspóir féin.

Will Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Live up to the Hype?

Leave a comment

De réir: Rich Bergeron

Floyd “Airgead” 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, cé. It all goes to charity. Fós, 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. Fós, Floyd did admit in 2012 go 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. Fós, 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.

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

Mayweather (38) is actually the older fighter, but the 36-year-old Manny’s fought 17 more bouts in the pro ranks and will likely be the most active puncher “Airgead” 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.
