Shane Mosley is already in Manny Pacquiao’s head

By Lou Block
The fight is several weeks away but Sugar Shane Mosley is already winning the mental warfare leading up to his May 7th showdown with Manny Pacquiao.
If you try to look for Pacquiao’s official Twitter congMP, you will see that he deleted his account, and reports say it’s because Manny can’t take any criticism.
Mosley weigh in
Mosley weigh in
If Manny is a politician why is he so sensitive? That stuff comes with the territory when you are a public figure. Look at Floyd Mayweather Jr., so many haters try and talk crap and disrespect him on Twitter and FaceBook but he never cried and ran away over some harsh words, Floyd ain’t a quitter that’s why and you can’t get into his head because he is strong minded and extremely confident in himself.
Manny doesn’t have the type of mental toughness that Floyd Mayweather has, and after a few negative comments on his Twitter and after Shane Mosley sent him these messages, Pacquiao decided to close his congMP account.
Just cause u have the bieber hair style doesn’t mean u can sing like him, NO WORRIES, Ill beat you and have you singing right… #SugarTime (SugarShaneM)
Hey Pacquiao (@congMP), I’m going to beat you so hard that you’re going to need botox just to take the worry off your face! #SugarTime (SugarShaneM)
SUGAR is bad for your health – on May 7th Manny you’re gonna be SICK!!! #sugartime (SugarShaneM)
Shane Mosley is already in Manny’s head, and when a fighter isn’t ready mentally that’s not a good sign. If Pacquiao can’t handle Mosley’s trash talk, imagine if Floyd Mayweather Jr. was the one talking trash directly to Manny? Pacquiao would probably be in the fetal position and hide under his sheets hurt from Floyd’s words.

Shane Mosley prepare to face Pacquiao

By: Albert Alvarez
What’s good Shane, Thanks for the call. I am watching the video of Berto/Ortiz presser right now it looks like Berto is second guessing himself in the staredown. Have you seen it yet?
SM- No, I haven’t seen that yet. When was the presser?
It was this past Friday, March 18th at the Foxwoods. Berto’s face expression looks like what it did when you two were facing off when your fight was supposed to happen. I’m sure you remember that right?
SM- [Laughing] Yeah I remember that. I kept thinking to myself that this kid was really afraid of me. That fight between Ortiz and Berto is going to be a real good fight though. Berto looks to be real strong, but I tell you what, Ortiz is a lot stronger than people give him credit for.

Pacquiao, Explain about Diactivating Twitter account

Dhobie de Guzman:

 Jogging paakyat ng bundok ang warm-up ni Manny Pacquiao kasama ang ilang atleta sa Baguio.
Enjoy din ang mga fans na nag-aabang sa Pinoy boxing superstar.
Subsob sa ensayo si Pacman kahit isang linggo nang sinisipon; nagtawanan pa matapos tanggapin ni Manny ang bulaklak.
Kahit abala sa sa workout, pinag-aaralan pa rin ni Manny at ng buong Team Pacquiao ang estilo sa ring ni Mosley.
"May tendency kasing bumababa 'yung kaliwa ni Mosley," sabi ni Buboy Fernandez, isa sa mga coach ni Pacquiao. "So left-handed tayo 'tas right-handed si Mosley so posible na tatama 'yung kanan natin, 'yung right hook."
Sinagot din ni Pacquiao ang kontrobersyal na tweet niya sa dalawang Twitter follower na nagtanong kung bakit siya absent sa kasagsagan ng impeachment hearing ng Kamara kay Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez.
"Dinelete ko na kasi minsan wala ka sa mood, minsan may mga nang-aasar sa 'yo. Minsan mabuti na 'yung walang distraction," sabi ni Pacquiao.
Umiwas din ang kongresista mula Sarangani na pag-usapan ang impeachment ni Gutierrez.
"Sabi ng adviser ko na 'wag munang magbigay ng comment about that," sabi ng Sarangani congressman.
   
Sa ngayon, natutuwa si Manny sa pag-usad ng kasong isinampa niya sa Las Vegas, Nevada kontra kay Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"The damage has been done so hindi na natin puwedeng iatras. Nakita ng judge na napakagandang kaso," ani Pacquiao.
  
Nagsampa ng kaso sa Amerika si Pacquiao kay Mayweather dahil sa patutsada nitong gumamit siya ng performance-enhancing drugs.

Pacquiao to give up WBC super welter title

MANILA, Philippines – Filipino boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao will be relinquishing the World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight crown he won over Mexico’s Antonio Margarito last November.
Pacquiao's camp revealed that they no longer intend to pit the Filipino champion against boxers heavier than welterweight (147 pounds).
His Canadian adviser, Michael Koncz, said the Margarito fight placed the Filipino boxing icon's life at risk.
In that super welterweight bout, set at a 150-pound catch weight, Margarito outweighed the smaller Pacquiao by 17 pounds.
The Filipino champion eventually defeated the bigger Mexican by a lopsided decision and won the WBC super welterweight crown. But he was badly bruised in the process.
“We learned from experience in the Margarito fight that giving away 10 to 15 pounds during fight night is very detrimental to the safety of Manny,” Koncz said in a report by sports commentator Ronnie Nathanielsz to Boxingscene.com.
“Because of those basic concerns, we have no intention for Manny to fight at 154. From this day forward, the maximum weight would be 147 lb (welterweight),” he added.
Koncz said they will send a letter of gratitude to the WBC for giving Pacquiao the chance to win the title.
“Manny wants to free the belt so that others have the opportunity to proudly wear the WBC belt,” he said.
The WBC super welterweight title was the 8th world crown won by Pacquiao in as many weight classes. The victory earned him the distinction of being the only 8-division boxing champion in the world.
Pacquiao is set to defend his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title against fight former world champion “Sugar” Shane Mosley on May 7.
Sanctioning fees
Meanwhile, Koncz said they intend to settle the sanctioning fees being sought by the WBC.
Pacquiao reportedly still has to pay up $30,000 for the rematch against Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez in March 2008 and $50,000 for the fight against Oscar de la Hoya in December 2008.
The WBC sanctioned the Pacquiao-Marquez rematch where the super featherweight title was at stake. The WBC has also fined the Filipino for opting to fight De la Hoya instead of defending the WBC lightweight belt he won over Mexico's David Diaz.
WBC President, Don Jose Sulaiman has reportedly threatened to sue Pacquiao and Top Rank's Bob Arum if the fees won't be settled on time.
“I am going to send an e-mail to Top Rank instructing them to pay $50,000 for the De la Hoya fight because that was [the] agreement,” said Koncz.

(WBC) President Jose Sulaiman :Pacquiao lack of respect of WBC

MANILA, Philippines – Long-time World Boxing Council (WBC) President Jose Sulaiman launched a scathing tirade against Fighter of the Decade Manny Pacquiao for allegedly treating the boxing establishment with “disrespect."
In his column “Hook to the Liver” posted on WBC's website, Sulaiman accused Pacquiao of ignoring the WBC’s long time rule on dual championship.
Based on WBC rules, any WBC champion “who wins two titles of different divisions, must relinquish one of those within the 15 following days after conquering the dual championship, with such title being declared vacant.”
Sulaiman said most of WBC’s greatest champions who won double titles in different weight classes have been faithful to this rule.
“All of them, without exception, complied with this important rule and treated and behaved with us with respect and loyalty,” the WBC president said. “Unlike Pacquiao, his promoter Bob Arum, and to some extent his representative, Mike Koncz, who never contacted the WBC within the 89 days that went by.”
Sulaiman said that they never heard a word from Pacquiao’s camp since the Filipino superstar won his 8th world title, the WBC super welterweight crown, over Antonio Margarito last Nov. 13.
Aside from owning the WBC super welterweight title, Pacquiao also holds the World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight crown which he will defend against Shane Mosley on May 7.
This has prompted the WBC to strip Pacquiao of the crown. The title is now being offered to the winner between super welterweight boxers Saul Alvarez and Matthew Hatton.
The move drew controversy in the international boxing scene because neither Hatton nor Alvarez has ever been super welterweight contenders.
“The WBC is the organization that gave Manny the opportunity 12 years ago to win his first world title, the flyweight, and later on five world championships in different divisions, as well as the maximum WBC award, which is the WBC Diamond Belt, that has been won only by Pacquiao in the 49 years of the WBC,” said Sulaiman.
"The WBC is not a beggar nor a sack of trash, and we have never, ever asked for pity," he added.
Sulaiman, earlier, demanded Pacquiao’s camp to settle the sanctioning fees he was supposed to pay in his past fights.
Pacquiao reportedly still has to pay up $30,000 for the rematch against Marquez in March 2008 and $50,000 for the fight against Oscar de la Hoya in December 2008.
The WBC sanctioned the Pacquiao-Marquez rematch where the super featherweight title was at stake. The WBC has also fined the Filipino for opting to fight De la Hoya instead of defending the WBC lightweight belt he won over Mexican-American David Diaz.
In reaction to that demand, Koncz said they intend to settle the dues.
“I am going to send an e-mail to Top Rank instructing them to pay $50,000 for the De la Hoya fight because that was [the] agreement,” said Koncz.
Pacquiao’s camp revealed that they no longer intend to pit the Filipino champion against opponents heavier than welterweight (147 pounds).
Koncz said the Margarito fight, where Pacquiao was outweighed by 17 pounds, placed the Filipino boxing icon's life at risk.

Roger Mayweather believe mosley will win.....

MANILA, Philippines – A close fight to be won by "Sugar" Shane Mosley.
This is the opinion of Roger Mayweather, trainer and uncle of undefeated American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., regarding the match between Mosley and Filipino pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao on May 7.
"I truly believe Mosley would stop Pacquiao," Roger said in an interview with On the Ropes Boxing Radio.
"But under the circumstances under what they’re talking about, the fight is still going to be close," he added.
Pacquiao will clash with Mosley in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Amid reports that Mosley will be "getting some good money for the fight," Roger believes the American will still not let Pacquiao humble him.
"He [Mosley] ain’t going to lay down," the trainer said.
Roger is part of the Mayweather camp sued by Pacquiao back in December 2009.
Pacquiao's camp said Roger, Floyd, Jr., and Floyd Sr. defamed him by accusing him of taking performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). Also named in the charge are Floyd Jr.'s promoters Oscar de la Hoya and Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions. Pacquiao demanded $75,000 in damages.
Pacman and catch weights
Roger also claimed that the reason behind Pacquiao's success is that the Filipino always demands that his opponents fight at catch weights.
“You know what, anytime I see Pacquiao fight somebody, he’s fighting them at a catch weight... He ain’t never fought no dudes who fought at their regular weight class. He fights them dudes at a catch weight. Oh, you can’t weigh this! Oh, you can’t weigh that!" he claimed.
Roger said Pacquiao's catch weight demand took its toll on Antonio Margarito, whom the Filipino outpunched to a lopsided decision last November.
The Pacquiao-Margarito fight, which was for the World Boxing Council (WBC) junior middleweight (154 pounds) title, took place at a 150-pound catch weight.
"Antonio Margarito had been off I don’t know how long. Oh, you know, you can’t weight more than 150. That’s what they say. He fights all them dudes at catch weights," said Roger.
'Floyd, Jr. has to come back'
Meanwhile, Roger also revealed that Floyd, Jr., considered by many to be Pacquiao's closest rival, will be returning to the boxing ring soon.
This, despite the legal troubles faced by the controversial boxer since late 2010, including a complaint for allegedly assaulting his former girlfriend and poking a finger at the face of a security officer.
"I think most of that is pretty much cleared up," he said. "The thing about it is yeah, he has to get back in the ring."
"That’s how you make money and that’s how you further your legacy," Roger added.
Roger also said he, too, anticipates a Pacquiao-Floyd, Jr. match, dubbed as the "Fight of the Century," only if the Filipino champ topples Mosley.
"Hopefully, I don’t know, but hopefully my nephew and Pacquiao will fight. If Shane Mosley beats Pacquiao, then we ain’t even got to worry about that," he said.

Pacquiao will earn almost $20m in mosley fight

By Don Tagala, ABS-CBN North America News Bureau
NEW YORK, New York – Boxing superstar and Sarangani Congressman Manny Pacquiao and "Sugar" Shane Mosley concluded their coast-to-coast US media tour for their world championship fight in May.
“I'm happy to be back here in New York, it's very cold here, because last time I came here summer time, it's hot. This time, it's cold,” said Pacquiao.
“What can I say? I can't wait for May 7 to fight against Manny Pacquiao, who is a great fighter, warrior, and these are the type of fights I love to be in,” said Mosley.
Filipino fans trooped to the Chelsea Piers in New York to cheer for their boxing idol.
Pacquiao is expected to make a killing from his Las Vegas showdown in May.
Team Pacquiao did not specify the exact amount, but Pacquiao's chief of staff Franklin Gacal said it will not be lower than US$15 million.
Of course, this doesn't include Pacquiao's share of pay-per-view (PPV) buys, which could raise his earnings to about $20 million or more, depending on the number of paid showtime subscriptions
Mosley is said to be assured of at least $5 million.
While this may be Pacquiao's biggest match in terms of prize purse, it remains a mismatch.
According to Ryan Songalia, the only Filipino-American member of the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA), Mosley is not as explosive as he was 10 years ago and that Pacquiao could be out of his league.
“I think the reason why Pacquiao is facing Mosley is because it's a beautiful fight. He knows that Mayweather is trying to hold the ball and wait for Pacquiao to get old and get hurt maybe in the fight and then he'll pounce on him…. Pacquiao won't get hurt, he's staying busy, staying in ring, making money while Mayweather sitting in the sidelines waiting for Pacquiao to get old,” said Songalia.
Pacquiao said he is still not discounting the possibility of facing Floyd Mayweather since he is not yet retiring.
“Wala pa naman, pero malapit na, mahirap magsalita ngayon, pero definitely, hindi pa ako magreretire after this fight, hindi na masyadong matagal,” said Pacquiao.
And while he may be busy with all his fight promotions, the boxer-politician claims he has not neglected his constituents in Sarangani province.
“Ok naman at balance naman, at eto, alay ko sa ating mga sambayanang Pilipino, sa ating mga minamahal na mga kababayan. Thank you sa lahat ng supporta at pagdarasal po, maraming salamat,” he said.
Pacquiao didn't forget his spouse duties either.
In the news conference which fell on Valentine's Day, the cameras were all rolling as he gave his wife a special cake.
He announced that the two of them will go on a date in an undisclosed place in New York before heading out to Washington D.C.

Pacman in US Capital

WASHINGTON D.C. – Manny Pacquiao, the world’s greatest boxer, felt right at home the moment he set foot at the nation’s capital Monday evening.
 “Welcome to my crib (home),” Pacquiao said as the train that carried him and his group from New York City arrived at the historic Union Station here at around 7 p.m.
Yes, it’s the first time that the fighting congressman from the Philippines set foot in Washington, a place he said he’d only heard of or seen on TV.
Yet, almost everybody knew him.
He was a walking magnet every step of the way, people calling his name, reaching out for his hand, and dying to have an autograph or a picture taken with him.
It’s been the same scene the past five days during the press tour for his May 7 fight with Shane Mosley, with previous stops in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York.
Pacquiao was too easy to spot even if he was surrounded by people from Top Rank and from the media, who were given special passes, orange wristbands, for the three-hour ride from the Big Apple.
He wore a brown overcoat and a Bruce Lee hairdo, and had his lovely, cheerful wife holding on to him. There were cameras all over the couple who were celebrating Valentine’s Day.
They were to share an intimate dinner with the boxer’s chief adviser, Mike Koncz, and his wife, Racquel, in one fancy restaurant here.
“Manny Pacquiao! Manny Pacquiao! You’re the greatest boxer ever!” said a female fan, probably a Mexican, at the train station that looked like a cathedral from the inside, as she reached out for the boxer’s hand.
“Go Manny! Go knock him out!” hollered a male fan, who looked like an American, even if Pacquiao will soon be up against an American, Shane Mosley.
Among the media outfits that had reps on the great train ride were CNN, New York Times, NY Daily News, the National Public Radio or NPR, Wall Street, Playboy Magazine, The Examiner.com, AOL Fanhouse, Showtime and giant network giant CBS, GMA-7.
Pacquiao did make a lot of heads turn.
“We will have a picture taken with the President,” Pacquiao said as he looked forward to a meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House Tuesday.
Barring any last-minute changes, the highly awaited meeting takes place in the afternoon, after Pacquiao moves around town for a meeting with US Senate Majority Flood Leader Harry Reid.
Reid will take Pacquiao to the Senate floor. Also scheduled is a visit to the offices of USA Today. The weather is freezing here in Washington, with a high of eight, and a low of zero degrees Celsius up for today.
If he gets to meet the President, he becomes only the second Filipino athlete ever to do so at the White House, after legendary golfer Celestino Tugot who came to President Dwight Eisenhower’s office in 1954.
Pacquiao’s official entourage stayed at The Hay-Adams, the elegant hotel which is as close as you can get to the White House. It sits just across the President’s home.
Pacquiao flies back to Los Angeles by sundown Tuesday.
In New York, Pacquiao and Mosley staged a press conference at the Chelsea Pier, and parted ways at around 2 p.m. Pacquiao proceeded to the New York Daily News office for an interview and a quick photo shoot.
The Chelsea Pier gig was opened to the public, making it very difficult for Pacquiao to get out of the building, on to the covered parking lot and to a waiting SUV.
Pacquiao was mobbed on the way out, and was nearly pinned by the crowd against the van parked beside his service SUV. He had to shield his wife from the crowd.
Notes: Fred Sternburg, the Top Rank publicist, opened up the Chelsea Pier press conference with this statement: People, this is a professional media event. No pictures, no autographs with the boxers for the members of the media. Anybody getting caught will be escorted out, and his or her credential taken away. That’s how they do things here.... There are only 230 tickets left for the fight, still two and a half months away, according to Bob Halloran, president of MGM Mirage Inc. When the MGM opened its ticket booths to the public just a couple of weeks ago, 16,000 or the 17,000-plus seats were sold in three hours. On the Internet, tickets with a face value of $1,500 are now being sold for as much as $8,000.... - By Abac Cordero

Legacy or upset.........

Another boxing history will be made this coming May 7, 2011. The fight against future boxing hall of famers Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Shane "Sugar" Mosley. After winning streaks with great boxers,  Manny will  again try to add up to his list of victims or so he thinks....Mosley another future hall of famer will try to stop him from his track. Although Mosley seems to be the underdog of the fight, we will never be able to count him out for we all know that he is of a world champion level. So we will be waiting for this date and see the event made for the classics.The most awaiting event in the year the pacquiao vs. mosley fight.
