With both sides basically agreeing to face each other on what could be the biggest fight in the history of boxing, only Mayweather’s signature is now needed to make the fight official.
According to a report released earlier today (12/9/2009) from a reliable boxing website, Freddie Roach, trainer of Pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao, has issued a statement that his ward has indeed signed the contract to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. This report still has to be confirmed, though, as Pacquiao’s promoter and Top Rank Chief Bob Arum is still mum on the details of the negotiations.

Pacquiao: 144lbs
Cotto: 145lbs
Interestingly, Cotto made weight despite the doubts that he will not be make it. Unlike Mayweather who came in overweight during the weighin and so much more during fight night, Cotto kept his end of the bargain. I guess tha $1 million per excess poundage was just really hard to ignore.
Good for Cotto. Cant wait for fight night.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is back on the spot light, or at least trying to be. Just read about Money Mayweather’s
supposed radio interview with a certain RA Rugged Man on Shade 45 on XM/Sirius. (still have to verify and listen to the interview for myself).
‘Philippines make the best enhancement drugs’, said Mayweather.
Clearly refering to the incredible rise of Manny Pacquiao from Flyweight(112 lbs) to Welterweight (147 lbs),
Floyd Mayweather Jr has once again unleashed a barrage of blows outside the ring.

Transparency International has made public the result of its recent survey. Although the Philippines did not make it to the list of the most corrupt countries as another survey on corruption perception index indicate, most Filipinos believe that their public servants are corrupt. This news brings to mind a brilliant and hilarious play which I saw last month at the National Arts Center in Makiling, Laguna.
Welcome to the new home of WordCamp Philippines on the Web!
Plans for the second WordCamp in the Philippines are in the pipeline. The main event will be held in Makati City, and just like last year, we will do a mini-WordCamp in Davao City.

In the Pacquiao-Hatton 24/7 HBO documentary it was bared that, in a number of sessions when Floyd Mayweather Sr trained Hatton, the outspoken trainer has been having issues on punctuality, being late many times, sometimes by hours (One segment showed Mayweather Sr stopping by a Taco Bell Drive-thru despite being late for their training session).
According to reports, Ricky ‘the Hitman’ Hatton and Floyd Mayweather Sr has not heard a word from each other since the Hitman was KOed by Pacquiao. Hatton was sent straight to the hospital for a medical checkup while Mayweather Sr was nowhere to be found during the post-fight conference. Floyd Mayweather Sr was not even present to check on Hatton after the devastating KO that kept hatton on the canvass for quite a while. Nor was he with Hatton when the dazed fighter struggled on his way back to the locker room.

“I can fight anyone”.
This was the answer of Manny Pacquiao in the post-fight interview after his fight with Ricky Hatton. And now that Floyd Mayweather Jr’s return is official, boxing fans can never discount the fact that the winner of the Juan Manual Marquez-Floyd Mayweather matchup on July 18, 2009 is the biggest fight there is among the possible names being lined-up for Pacman.
Should Mayweather defeat Marquez, Pretty-boy Floyd will be in a very good position for a mega-fight against Pacquiao. Floyd Mayweather Jr retired in 2007 after giving Ricky Hatton his first taste of defeat in his pro career. Mayweather once held the Pound-for-Pound best title before hanging up his gloves. That title is now owned by Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines.

Pacquiao has solidified his status even more as the #1 Pound-for-pound best fighter in the world with a round 2 demolition of British pugilist Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton.
The gameplan went as planned, for the Pacquiao camp that is. Before the fight, Manny Pacquiao’s coach and trainer Freddie Roach bodly predicted that Pacman will knock out Ricky Hatton inside of 3 rounds. And true enough, the fight was ended with Hatton kissing the canvass in the 2nd round.
