Anyone heard about Manny Pacquiao coming out of the retirement to compete in the 2024 Olympics in Paris?
It's crazy! well, Manny have done a lot of crazy things before and I don't know how they are going to pull this one up to make it happen when the qualifying event in Asian games for 2024 Olympics only allows 40 yrs old age limit for all of the sport. Pacquiao being 44 won't gonna qualify in the Asian games. Though there might be some arrangements for Pacquiao to qualify in the Olympics but it is for sure going to be the hardest part.


Please provide a link to the source of this information; it would be interesting to know if there's a real chance that he will be able to represent the country. At his current age, despite having retired from boxing already, he still shows passion and love for his country as he wants to contribute. However, he is already 44 years old. I think he should focus his time on making money, such as through exhibition fights, and leave professional boxing opportunities to the younger generation, as they need them for their future careers.

That kind of passion might convert to another addition to his collections of honor. Who knows if it's for real and he managed to win the gold, that's something that the country will surely be proud of, right? Not sure though if he can really qualify himself, I'm also waiting for additional information since I just saw this from a share post in social media channel.

It will be more interesting if we will see progress and updates with additional info if Pacquiao will be allowed or will really be qualified.

There are still many fans that will support him if this quest will take place.

I guess this is what he saw: Manny Pacquiao is looking to come out of retirement to compete at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games

I mean, this is good, Manny Pacquiao will have a chance to attain more honor and glory to his name once his campaign to have that gold medal in the Olympics will be successful. Of course, this move is not just for him alone but to his country as well.

But the problem is, he is already way over the age limit and him making this statement will just end in a disappointment.

-snip-

I guess they will have to explore their options first before coming towards Dana White to organize their fight because we know that Jake and Dana haven't have any good relationship with each other and these two still keeps on bombing each other on the internet up until now, like recently where Dana White is frequently saying that Jake Paul haven't answered to his challenges where he should take a test to see if he's using a gear on his fights or not.

For sure they would need to do that as Jake Paul is not on great terms with Dana White and surely Jake Paul is also not on great terms with his own Brother Logan Paul, as Jake Paul doesn't want Prime Water to be advertised in his fights so likely if Jake Paul doesn't have a good terms with his Bother Logan Paul then for sure Jake Paul doesn't really have a good terms with Dana White for sure a fight with a UFC fighter likely needs for the fighter to be retired as they don't have contract wth the UFC anymore,

WOW! I really didn't expect this at all as many have thought that Manny Pacquiao will likely be just sitting this out and just enjoying a leisurely life with all the business he created but likely he can not move on with his Boxing career anytime soon, as he still wants the action of going inside the ring for sure well see Pacquiao if not with the Olympics then in another exhibition match up with another boxer, or even an MMA fighter perhaps,

Fight week already for Liam Smith vs Chris Eubank Jr - rematch.

Here is the final press conference, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSmMnrxZeRc.

If you will remember, Smith knockout Eubank in their first fight 7 months ago. I was never expecting that, I thought that the bigger guy Eubank could have broken down Smith.

But Liam proved otherwise, he talk trash, but he did what he exactly told in the press conference back then.

Odds not yet odd in my favorite crypto sports bookies though.

This is the last ML odds I have seen before fight, so Smith is the slight favorite.

Smith - 1.64
Eubanks 2.24

So the fight has started already, I have Eubanks ahead after two rounds. He was using his jab in this fight and trying to be very careful not to get hit again. Smith might just be starting slow in this fight, but once he got hot and the his rhythm it will be a war.

Let's see how the fight goes.

Edit: Smith goes down in round 4. Eubanks dominating this fight.
Edit 2: Smith goes down again in round 10, then Eubanks go for the kills, Referee stop the fight. The underdog Eubanks wins.

I watch some highlights of the fight and yes, it was a different Eubanks that shows in this fight. And it seems that Smith didn't really prepare for this fight as something is wrong with him from the first round.

No snappy jabs, all he thought that maybe he can walk and just knockout Chris just like in the first fight. But Eubanks come prepared, obviously the bigger guy and his punch has power and after that round 4 uppercut knockout wherein Liam was given more time, it's just a matter of time that he will knockout Smith. But at the end of the day, everything is for the love of the sports and so they huge and act sportsmanlike. Now, it's the question whether we will have a 3rd fight, a trilogy to end this rivalry?

Haney is not with PBC, he is a free agent. He even tried to negotiate a fight with Shakur but made a ridiculous lowball offer that shows he is not serious in wanting to fight him. Tank is the one with PBC but his most recent fight was against a Golden Boy/DAZN fighter, Ryan Garcia. If Tank really wants to fight Shakur, that fight would get made. Too bad Tank only seems interested in in-house mismatches or Instagram influencers with strict rehydration clauses.

Bob Arum has already said that Shakur will fight Lomachenco, just don't know when but I think that is doable since both fighters are under his wings. I just hope though the fight between Loma and Shakur is for the championship belt since Haney has already moved up to 140lbs.

With regards to Tanks Davis, it would be interesting to see him go down a bit, maybe to 130lbs to meet Inoue, that would be a massive fight if Bob Arum would agree.



It will be a championship fight if Devin Haney will leave his belts at 135 so that the remaining hungry boxers can claim it and unify it again some time soon.
But since we're not hearing any of those things, that might be a sign already that Haney doesn't want to leave his belts yet and will fight at 140 while carrying it while also testing the waters if the weight class is really for him or not.

That's a smart move from Haney himself, I mean, his journey at 140 pounds against Regis is not yet guaranteed that he will have a nice start and if he will feel that 140 is too much for him then he can always go back at 135 where he is still the strongest and holds the undisputed title for having all four belts. But even so, I don't think that he can retain those belts long enough because there is Tank Davis and Shakur Stevenson who is looking forward to grab those belts out of him.

Interesting as names who are really qualified to hold o challenge to get the belt away from Haney are fighters who are expected to be more aggressive in terms of snatching it from the current champ, a good way to earn more money for the side of promoters and the fighters since names are big in this sport and fans and gamblers would love to hear any possible update once the negotiations start to process.

One big news that will start the discussions about a possible fight between those fighters will trigger the spark and create good attention.


If Haney will go back at 135, he will for sure face Shakur Stevenson because the latter will be named again as the current champion's mandatory challenger. There's nothing he can do to avoid that even if there is a politics in-between that makes the discussion quite impossible but since a big money will be involved, both camps will likely have a deal regardless of who will have the purse advantage.

Honestly, it would be very good if Haney Could come back and have that encounter, with that it spices up the category, right now there are fights that some boxers who are considered famous, well they fought against Controls that did not have much sight, or much Visibility before the World , As is the case of Casimero, who will face a boxer that I did not know recently, I think that for some he will, due to his track record, which is not bad , but I do know that a boxer Does this type of fight so that he can gain a level and he can once again launch into the world of boxing with good triumphs, in the case of Haney it would be interesting, because for me they are both at the same level, both he and Shakur would be interesting to see which one would be the best, so they should do it, I would like to know What would that slide be like, because thinking about it, it is a way for them to get to know each other more and being one on top of the other, they can quote more Iconic and famous films where obviously they will Give a lot of money.

Shane Mosley Convinced Devin Haney Does Not Want To Fight Shakur Stevenson



Quote
Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney simply don’t like each other. They've gone from respectfully calling each other out, to hurling curse-filled tirades at one another every chance they get.

For Stevenson, he wants what he believes he’s earned. After moving up in weight earlier this year and making quick work of Shuichiro Yoshino, the former Olympic gold medalist wanted a shot at Haney. With the Las Vegas resident holding all four major world titles at 135 pounds, Stevenson knows that the road to becoming a world champion goes through his rival.

Following several months of back-and-forth trash talk, both sides engaged in conclaves in an attempt to put together a deal. According to Stevenson, Haney offered him a contract that would pay him 25%, something that left the former two-division titlist acrimonious.

Source: https://www.boxingscene.com/shane-mosley-convinced-devin-haney-not-want-fight-shakur-stevenson--177368

Many say that Shakur can win , Apart from the fact that the deal between the two of them is quite difficult, I would think that they both feel like it, it will be an Interesting fight , in the case of Haney he is a boxer that things can happen, for me things can happen however they are , generally things happen according to the degree of training that the boxers have, I think that things can be seen here from a point of view that if Haney doesn't want to fight because he He doesn't like it because he must say it in the media, but say it himself, not have someone else say it for him, and that if they are so angry, it will be a phenomenal fight because they would Eventually get Married , and then if you measure who is the better, and of course that happens, because the one who wins well and the other will ask for a good rematch, then this is only good when there is this type of situation between boxers, I like this, because it gives it the spice that we all love He likes in fights.

Below is just one link discussing about Pacquiao's desire to fight in 2024 Paris Olympics -

https://www.manilatimes.net/2023/08/31/sports/pacquiao-wants-to-fight-in-2024-paris-olympics/1907720

Seems that his camp is pretty serious on this upcoming event as they are looking for ways how to qualify him on this competition.
And maybe opt to get the one of the four Universality places available. Let us see how this target will come to fruition.
If he can get a spot, that would be a nice crowd magnet as for sure a lot of fans will watch him fight again inside the ring.

What is he up to?
Checking out his Wikipedia page, he doesn't even present himself as a boxer with superior records anymore but as a politician. He must have plans to run the country and this Olympics can boost his popularity with the younger generation. Imran Khan was a famous cricketer in Pakistan before he became Prime Minister of Pakistan, sports helped him a lot to get into a higher position in the country. It must be his goal as well.


It looks like it was ok for a professional boxer to fight in the olympic so Manny Pacquiao aiming for the olympic gold medal make sense.  Due to the rule changed in 2016, the Olympics allows professional boxers to compete .  Among the Olympic record there is only one professional boxer to get the Olympic medal and he is Albert Batyrgaziev, a representative of Rusia in 2020 Olympics.[1]

I dig deeper and this is what I found,Manny Pacquiao wants to fight in Paris Olympics

So yeah, probably the rumor is true, but I do agree, let the young generation of Filipino boxers lead the way. If I'm not mistaken, they have gotten Silver as well for their boxers in the last Olympics so maybe now they will go out and bring everything they got to secure the first ever gold in boxing for the country. And it's kinda late for Manny to dream a Olympic medal, he has done so much to boxing, his influence is greater than anyone in the Philippines and other parts of the world.

Personally, I do not mind a great fighter like Manny Pacquiao to perform again. But I also believe that it will be a better decision for them to give the young upcoming fighters an option to fight because they are the future.

But at the same time, we all know that a lot of people are going to show a lot more interest in seeing Manny Pacquiao fight, instead of watching young fighters. So that might be something to keep in mind. Probably the young fighters could have shown something great. If Manny Pacquiao is going to fight, we all know that the other fighters are going to be in the shadows because he will be taking that spotlight.

What is he up to?

Yeah, maybe he just want to boost his popularity again, or he really misses boxing and this is the best thing for him again, represents his country in the Olympics and bring glory. But as far his political ambitions goes, he once run for the President in the last election and lost it.

So he had higher goals, but he failed to win his bid. But I don't think if ever he pursue this goal of his to be given special treatment and just be qualified to be in the Paris Olympics. And if I'm not mistaken, he had a son who is also in boxing, so why not just train him if the goal of Manny is to bring honor to his country? At least it will be his son this time.

Anyone heard about Manny Pacquiao coming out of the retirement to compete in the 2024 Olympics in Paris?

I don't know if he is still qualified though, he needs to go so some qualifying tournaments if I'm not mistaken. And Asiad should be the closest for him since he is from the Philippines. However, if Asian qualifying is completed already then perhaps he is not qualified then.

It's crazy! well, Manny have done a lot of crazy things before and I don't know how they are going to pull this one up to make it happen when the qualifying event in Asian games for 2024 Olympics only allows 40 yrs old age limit for all of the sport.

Yes, and there is age limit too. Unless he pull some strings from IOC and let him fight without going to the qualifying. But for sure some countries will say that they are biased. So it's crazy but I guess it's too late for Manny. And I thought that he is doing this to get golds for the Philippines, but they already got their 1st gold medal last Olympics. So I don't know what Manny want's to accomplished here.

It has been reported that Errol Spence has activated his rematch clause with Crawford at the last minute. He was given at least a month after their first fight. So in Aug 29, he activated but one thing in the clause is that he can choose whether to fight at 147 or 154 lbs.

I have a feeling though that it could be at 154 lbs, but not sure if the belts will be on the line since Crawford won at 147 lbs. So we will see if this fight happens before the end of the year or early next year.

If the fight happen on 154, it would probably a non-title fight, or the boxing council will look for something to offer the fight with some title at least, just like the upcoming exhibition fight of Manny Pacquiao, if I am not mistaken they will be given a Legendary Champion belt.

And we don't know what will be the excuse this time if Crawford beat Spence in the rematch worse than the first fight. Yes, they said that he is somewhat drained at 147 lbs as he has been campaigning in that weight class for years and even Crawford knows that way before they fight.

So I would like to hear what they going to say, Lol, it might be crazy if they think that they can win against this version of Crawford. They have to admit fair and square that Crawford is the best 147 lbs and the top p4p king in my book. He dominated all of his fights.

It has been reported that Errol Spence has activated his rematch clause with Crawford at the last minute. He was given at least a month after their first fight. So in Aug 29, he activated but one thing in the clause is that he can choose whether to fight at 147 or 154 lbs.

I think Spence will get destroyed again whatever weight division they are fighting with.  According to the recent news, Crawford is able to fight up to 168 weight division higher without any problem. Just like the news on this articles stating that Crawford is ready to jump to 168 lbs to fight the winner between Jermell Charlo and Canelo Alvarez:

I agree, it will have the same results as the first one, but we can't deny that Spence wanted to avenge his defeat and definitely he will go to 154 as many observed that he looks weight drain at 147 lbs.

It's not that Crawford is able to fight at 168 lbs though, he said that he wants Canelo or even the winner of Canelo vs Charlo at 168 lbs. We haven't seen him fight at 168 lbs. But in any case, it will be 0-2 for Spence here if he fight Crawford in the rematch.

If Haney will go back at 135, he will for sure face Shakur Stevenson because the latter will be named again as the current champion's mandatory challenger. There's nothing he can do to avoid that even if there is a politics in-between that makes the discussion quite impossible but since a big money will be involved, both camps will likely have a deal regardless of who will have the purse advantage.

It's fine to watch these both great fighters finally face off inside the ring because this is the time when they don't need to further expand or prolong their discussion about the money unless they want to fully make it a business just like Crawford and Spence, they fought when they have some tremendous amount of offers because the fans are dreaming to see that fight and I guess these two are also heading that way because they are not missing any opportunity that they currently have right now, especially they are at their primes.
The problem with Haney though is that he is going up in weight already. And there are some video clips around that seems to be his father talking and saying that Shakur is really that good that they might not fight him, and also sparring sessions between the two, it might be a old video though.
And that is why Shakur is really pushing for this fight, Haney has all the belt but he wants to move up to 140 lbs and fight Regis. So it's going to be very interesting, as Haney looks like avoiding Shakur at all cost.

Haney is definitely a good fighter. But I think it is a smart decision for him to actually avoid Shakur. And a man is only going to win when he knows about his strengths as well as his weaknesses. And it is good to see that he knows about his weakness and he is approaching his career following the way that will be best for him. I also do not think that Haney versus Shakur is not going to happen. Haney is definitely trying to avoid Shakur.

But of course that is also the reason why Shakur is pushing for the fight. He knows that he has the psychological advantage over Heney.


I don't know if the article that I've read the other day was true but it was said that Haney's camp was avoiding Shakur Stevenson because they believed that it's a risky match for their boxer, Haney, just like Tank Davis's camp is avoiding Shakur because they also believe the same. It's a mystery for me if what they could achieve in this if they go to a much safer path and fight, specially Tank when he's still at 135 together with Shakur.
