Even Amir Khan says that coach Roach reach out to him to have a Manny Pacquiao fight whether exhibition or boxing match in London.

We may have a great fight on July 30 on Showtime,

Danny Garcia vs Jose Benavidez at 154 lbs.

For sure some of you might be familiar with the name Danny Garcia as he was once a 147 lbs champions. But he lost to some of the best welterweight that time, Spence, Thurman and Porter. Now he decided to move up to 154 lbs and challenge one of the most dangerous fighter in that division. Years ago Benavidez put a good fight against Crawford.

Indeed, rumors says that Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather will share a ring again to have a last dance for an exhibition fight but that remains a speculation for now as Pacquiao's camp is still resting and taking some time to bond to his family because he exhausted his time and efforts for the presidential race few months ago. Let's if that will happen or not, soon!

Is it, now? Well, he is somehow eligible to have that request though but I don't know if WBO would grant his request and if ever his request are granted, I surely hope that he won't have the same issues again because he will be remembered for being a talkative clown and not his legacy. I assume that he found some legal way to address his weight issue because he is now requesting to be a challenger against Paul Butler.

It may be because of politics thats why his game deteriorated. I am a Manny Pacquiao fan for a long time but I have to admit all of the matches that he will take now are more like making money. Just entertainment. No more goals unlike when he was pursuing to get as much belt as he could.
I could feel all the punches even just watching pay per view. Not anymore.
Just keep it safe, try not to take more injuries and get the money afterward, but it's still entertaining when I watch him, I don't know why and I don't see it being a disrespectful goal because he had done too much in the boxing industry. 

Inoue-Butler in the UK is also big especially in Liverpool where Butler is just near. This is possible if Butler is reluctant in unifying and Inoue and Arum really want all the belts unified.

Inoue already fought in the US before. And of course he will be back there unless Japan's sponsors and market will be bigger than the US. Let's not forget that Japan is a boxing powerhouse and they are the third biggest economy in the world after China. 

But the money both of them could have made if the fight is going to be in UK? I think that is the only bargaining power that Butler has right now.

Although Arum is a wise manager, he can call the bluff and say it should be held in Saitama wherein Inoue is comfortable. On the other hand, how can Inoue be the biggest star, he has to conquer the US so that he will get a lot of audience just like what Manny did during his heyday.

Well what happens is that Inoue's technique is exquisite, besides that he has a great advantage because he knows very well the capabilities of his body, he knows to what extent he can demand himself and above all I have noticed in this boxer that he knows very well when he is in problems, making the fight merely technical and forcing the judges to go in his favor, I see this as a very complete athlete because he is very intelligent, many believe that going to box is just hitting and having the best resistance to endure, but I think that in boxing you win with intelligence, the body can be trained but here the strategy is fundamental, for that reason I think that Inoue has the advantage.

Yup! he doesn't really need to work anymore, but as we know Manny Pacquiao is a hardworking man, so he will surely never going to sit down in his house, but I think if he is done with his political career he can sure just relax inside his house and enjoy his bonding with his family or Train his son into boxing, and right now Jimuel Pacquiao is pursuing boxing and I think this is not related with poverty anymore and these kid drive might be the passion he sees with his father Manny Pacquiao, I would surely love to see his growth if he can have a potential to surpass his father's record or do his it on his own,


I truly wish the WBO would grant him his request starting at the bottom is surely impossible for John Riel Casimero right now, he is already at the peak of his age he can not restart again, he is already in his 32 years of age, but yeah he has done a terrible mistake so he should atone from breaking the rules,

But I am also hoping this will potentially not damage his career, I still wish that the WBO would comply with his request there are still many Filipino fans that expect him to fight on Butler then Naoya Inoue,


I really think Manny Pacquiao can still come back in an exhibition match against any given boxer or MMA fighter but I think a rematch with Floyd Mayweather is I like to surely see, but that Philly Shell defense of May Weather is something that even Pacquiao can not crack, and in my opinion, Pacquaio is not really the same not like Floyd Mayweather that still looks awesome with his slick moves, even though if he hasn't had the power anymore those Philly Shell Defense of his is pretty much one tough bastard,

Bobby retired early because he is not as good as Manny and it's enough that one of the family is in boxing that is earning a lot of money to support their ambition, especially Politics. Well, let's see if Manny will come back in an exhibition fights as for sure he can still earn millions from that.

I've read of it and thought that it's like a real legit source because that rumor that spread came from that person who's a genuine source from another sport.
Maybe it's very likely that we'll get to see Pacquiao having a match again because that he just spent a lot of money from the election period and it's going to make him recover a lot if he gets into a fight.
Well, we still need a confirmation if that circulating rumor is for real or we're just fooled and made-believed by another news about his possible match as a hoax.

If I'm not mistaken Srisaket Sor Rungvisai is already a legend in this division and maybe have beaten either Estrada or Gonzalez in their prime (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

And this Rodriguez and very young and a lot of potential for this kid. His movement and foot is amazing and those angle? Seen them when Manny Pacquiao is at his prime. He knows his foot placement so that he can hit his opponent with that kind of angle that his opponent can't see. I would say that Rodriguez has a lot of future an can conquer 108-115 lbs or even higher division.

It's says it might be Conor or even Floyd of exhibition matches maybe this year. But this is just rumor as he lost the Presidential race in the Philippines and he might be thinking of making money again through boxing as Philippine election specially running for President is costly. I'm not saying that he no longer rich, but for this super athlete, they have to keep and maintain their lifestyle and just one fight will bring half a billion to 1 billion PHP in money's pocket again.

Yes, I think he has the 'right' to be the mandatory for Paul Butler because he didn't lost the belt in the ring. They stripped him, so he should still be their no. 1 and hopefully his request will be granted so that we can finally see a Butler vs Casimero fight.

But if WBO is done with him as a champion, then John Riel will have to start at the ground again and make his way up, just like what he did. But he is no longer getting any younger though and it might be late before we can see him fight Inoue.

There is a lot of circulated news by some random source that Manny Pacquiao might return to the ring. I'm not sure if one of those is even close to becoming legit but for me personally, I think if Pacquiao will able to have some lots of spare time again, he will go back to ring in an exhibition match as the only reason he retires is that he seeks the presidency that requires full-time effort.

Let's wait and see.

Looks like John Riel Casimero doesn't like the idea of having a small bout first and climbing the rank again.

He requested to WBO that he should be assigned as a mandatory challenger for Paul Butler. That's the only way to face the current Bantamweight King Naoya Inoue who now unified the 3 bantamweight titles without fighting on any tune-up first.

I hope Casimero's request will be granted although if really granted, he should not waste his final chance to take a shot against Inoue and worked properly on his weight-related problems that keep him inactive for 2 fights already. That was alarming as it just shows that he is not fit to fight.

Well, Manny Pacquiao already retired in the boxing industry last year because he was already busy doing other works and the other reason is that he's running for president in the Philippines which eventually he lost last month. And as you stated, Manny Pacquiao is already an established business man, celebrity, a legend, a politician, and surely those things can support his family including his future grandkids.

We have a great fight at 115 lbs division. Bam Rodriguez against Srisaket Sor Rungvisai. There is no love for this weight division, but there are a lot of good and elite boxers here, namely Juan Francisco Estrada and Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez. I guess the savvy veteran in Srisaket Sor Rungvisai is not enough for a young lion like Rodriguez. Maybe in the future we will see unification as well, but we have separate champions in Martinez (IBF), Kazuto Iota (WBO) and Estrada (WBA and Ring). Rodriguez holds the WBC.

Here is the highlights of the fight.

Well, I really think Manny Pacquiao can surely retire early he establish himself as a businessman, a celebrity, a politician, and a Legend, so he can already support his family but the thing that drives him to still push himself to his limits despite his age was the glory he can give to our country, pretty much that drives Manny to be a great boxer and I think Bobby doesn't have that attribute, but I am not saying that boxing is not his passion I think the drives and mindset a boxer will give and the sacrifices Manny Pacquiao is ready to give his all,


The Problem is Bob Arum, doesn't want a Beterbiev versus Bivol fight, because Arum doesn't want to loan Artur Baterbiev to another promoter, and it could be a dead zone and nobody will watch it, and likely Beterbiev's good record will surely be tainted by the other promoter's boxer, so right now I surely am not in a good spirit that a Beterbiev vs Bivol fight would take place, it is impossible even if many fans really want that fight, I really think Bob Arum is just stubborn enough and really a selfish one,


Maybe I was wrong in an article that I have read, but surely enough Bob Arum really likes what would be profitable for him, and nothing more, a plan to really hype this fight and and giving those words that he doesn't like Beterbiev VS Bivol to happen but regarding that Bob Arum is a wise guy he surely know what is profitable and not,

The famous O2 arena and if I'm not mistaken, capacity is huge so good choice of venue for this big fight. And that is true, English love their boxers, recently Tyson Fury. And even if Yarde is not that famous like Tyson, for sure they will all come and watch him fight just for the support and of course they want them to upset Beterviev. Of course, Arum knows how big the money is going to be in this fight so him and Warren are going to talk without any issues. (greedy promoters).

Yes, this is a well orchestrated plan by Arum again, sort of manipulating the LHW because he has all the cards and it seems that he wants to stick it out with DAZN. Arum is a pure old school so he will go to ESPN but then again as mentioned, Beterviev is not PPV yet. Boxers like Crawford recently separated from Top Rank because they want to handle their career and doesn't want how Top Rank handle them (not getting the fights they wanted and the money.)
