Pacquiao's Popularity is Not Really Fading!

Manny Pacquiao's popularity is not really that fading as other sees it specially when Floyd Mayweather Jr. returns. The thought that the undefeated can overthrow him from his current throne just fade away specially when Mayweather keeps on docking him and avoid a fight against the Filipino pound for pound king. Now with the current challenge that he is facing against another American boxer named "Sugar" Shane Mosley, some predicted that the fight will be a not so worthy to watch under estimating the skills and experience of the latter. Some even says that the Pacquiao vs. Mosley fight will not gain a lot of followers and audiences.

However, they were all proved wrong. Imagine 16,000 tickets were sold on the opening sale of the match with 3 hours only. You'll definitely see Bob Arum smiling on this.

This only shows that our idol Pacquiao can still make a sale and will surely provide a great fight of the century.

By the way, it is several weeks before the Donaire vs. Montiel and I am inviting you guys to watch it. As I have mentioned on my previous post, this will be a furious and bloody exchanges of punches as both fighter, Nonito Donaire and Fernando Montiel are lovers of offense and counter-punches. You'll definitely love their fight and its on Feb. 19 already.

Montiel vs. Donaire Before Pacquiao vs. Mosley

One of the expected Filipino boxer that will possibly follow the footstep of the pound for pound king and fighter of the year, Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is the aiming bantamweight boxer, Nonito "Filipino Flash" Donaire who targets the head of the Mexican bantamweight champion, Fernando Montiel.

And right now before the Pacquiao vs. Mosley match, there will be Donaire vs. Montiel on February 19, 2011 for a 12-round bantamweight championship. The Montiel-Donaire fight will be held in the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It will determine who is the best from the two knock out artists of the "small guys" division. Fernando Montiel have been undefeated since year 2006 and impressively beat almost all of his opponents in a convincing knock out result while Nonito Donaire have proven the world that he is a real good counter puncher and can brutally end a fight immediately with his powerful punches.

Now we are expecting a great boxing match to happen this February. It will be bloody, it will be war, I am very sure.

Watch Pacquiao vs. Clottey: Road to Dallas Videos

I found this video from Youtube containing the premiere episode of the 30-minute pre-fight countdown for the upcoming fight of Manny Pacquiao against Joshua Clottey in the dubbed "The Event" match on Saturday, March 13, 2010.

I hope you enjoy the video:

Just a sec, I just wondering why HBO produces this instead of the usual HBO 24/7 and why they did it on Mayweather vs. Mosley but not with Pacquiao vs. Clottey. I just don't know why is that way. Does HBO believes that Pacquiao-Clottey match is not that better compared to the Mayweather-Mosley May 1 fight? What do you think? For me, I guess they think this way.

Pacquiao on Jimmy Kimmel Live A Week Before the Fight

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao will be making a live appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Live at ABC tonight at 12:05/11:05c. This is his 2nd time appearance tonight as part of the promotion of his upcoming fight against Joshua Clottey. Last year, if you can still remember, he was also interviewed by Jimmy for his fight against Cotto. This is his interview last year:

I don't know why other people are so concern with how he speaks English. What matter most is he fights well and give pride to the Philippines. Go Pacquiao vs. Clottey!

Mayweather-Mosley versus Pacquiao-Clottey, Who Will Win?

I found this interesting article from BoxingNews24.com saying that the May 1, Mayweather vs. Mosley will outsell the March 13, "The Event" of Pacquiao and Clottey. Here's the whole story, decide and react from this article:

I can’t help thinking that Manny Pacquiao’s promotional team royally screwed up by picking Joshua Clottey as an opponent for Pacquiao to fight next. Because in doing so, it puts Floyd Mayweather in an excellent position to outsell the Pacquiao-Clottey fight by a significant margin. This is in turn will cause Mayweather to demand a bigger slice of the revenue for a fight against Pacquiao in the future. Mayweather would likely feel justified in doing so if he can point to his better numbers for pay-per-view than Pacquiao.

It probably won’t matter how many backsides that Pacquiao’s promotional team put in seats at the Dallas Cowboy stadium on March 13th, the real money will be coming from pay-per-view buys, and if Mayweather does a lot better than Pacquiao, we likely can forget about a future fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao. Unless Pacquiao was willing to accept a smaller slice of the piece below 50%, which I seriously doubt, then we wouldn’t likely be seeing a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.

I like Pacquiao and think he’s a great fighter, but he can’t do it alone. He needs a big star opposite him to get the kinds of numbers that will outsell Mayweather-Mosley. The choice of Clottey might have been a great idea at the time that he was selected by Pacquiao’s promotional company Top Rank, because Clottey after all fights for Top Rank as does Pacquiao, meaning that the company wouldn’t have to share the profits for a fight with another company. But they needed someone a little better known than Clottey to bring in the huge numbers that would outdo a Mayweather fight.

Clottey just isn’t well known enough to the casual fans to make him someone that fans think could actually beat him. I’ve spoken to number casual boxing fans that often purchase pay-per-view events involving Pacquiao, and in every case, none of them have heard of Clottey. When I ask them if they think he has a chance against Pacquiao, ever one of them said “no.”

When you have a fighter that few people have ever heard of, it takes a lot of marketing to sell the fight to the public. In this case, there will need to be an HBO 24/7 series to try make the unknowing fans aware of who Clottey. But even that won’t likely be enough to cause people to want to buy the Pacquiao-Clottey fight in the kinds of numbers that Mayweather-Mosley fight will be bringing in.

And that’s really unfortunate if that does take place, because it pretty much will seal the fate of a potential Mayweather-Pacquiao bout down the road. In hindsight, Pacquiao’s team should have dug up a super star or a reasonable facsimile thereof. Having Pacquiao-Clottey jammed down our throats is about as appealing as eating a big plate of spinach and liverwurst.

If you were starving for a fight you might watch it, but it’s not the kind of fight that people will look forward to like the Mayweather-Mosley bout. And it won’t likely do nearly as well as the Mayweather-Mosley fight in terms of pay-per-view buys. Source: BoxingNews24.com

Pacquiao vs. Clottey Fight Undercard Diaz vs. Soto?

Latest news today said that possibly Humberto Soto vs. David Diaz would be the fight undercard for the upcomign Pacquiao vs. Clottey to replace the previously reported Margarito-Jones match up. Humberto Soto who has a 50-7-2, 32 KO’s while David Diaz has a 35-2-1, 17 KO’s will be fighting under welterweight category. This is the possible match because Margarito is still waiting for the decision of the Texas Commission regarding his boxing license. If you can remember Margarito was revoked of his license when he fight Shane Mosley a year ago due to the case that Margartio was found with an illegal foreign substance inside his hand wraps before his bout.

As per according to BoxingNews24.com, it will be a win-win situation for the fans if David-Soto will happen because of the exciting fight style of both fighters who were known to be "brawlers."

Well, let just wait for the list of the official undercard when the time comes. I think it will be announced before the February ends.

Pacquiao vs Clottey this March 13 at Cowboy Stadium

Manny Pacquiao (50-3-2 38KOs) will be fighting Joshua Clottey (35-3-0 30KOs) this coming March 13, 2010 at the Cowboy Stadium at Dallas, Texas. It is the first boxing that will ever happen to this $1.2 billion stadium. The match will be a 12-round welterweight bout. The match Pacquiao vs Clottey happened because of the failure of negotiating the megafight Pacquiao vs Mayweather.

Long time trainer of the 7-title holder Pacman said that this fight will be an action-packed match. "I wanted Manny in an action fight, and that's what we got with Clottey," said Roach in an interview.

Now, here's the full detail of the much awaited match from BoxingScene.com:

BoxingScene.com spoke with a very excited Bob Arum [CEO for Top Rank] on Sunday afternoon. Arum just closed a deal with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to stage Manny Pacquiao's defense of the WBO welterweight title against Joshua Clottey at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas on March 13. Arum and Top Rank president Todd duBoef flew to Texas on Saturday to meet with Jones. They sat and watched the Cowboys' big win over the Eagles. They plan to scale the venue for a crowd of 50,000 fans.

"We have deal for March 13. Rick, I have to tell you something - this place blew me away. It was the greatest place that I've ever been to. This boxing event will be so memorable for the fans and this not a normal stadium. It's hard to picture it unless you come here and see it for yourself with all of the electronics and the big screens," Arum said to BoxingScene.

There is still no word on HBO's involvement with the pay-per-view. Arum would like to get HBO on board, but he plans to move forward either way.

"We've been with them for a long time and if they want to participate that's fine, but if they don't we have major media companies that are ready to jump on board especially with the Cowboys and everything else," Arum said.

A two day press tour is already in play. Pacquiao-Clottey will have the kick-off press conference on January 18 in Dallas and the next stop on the tour will be in New York on the 19th. He plans to pack the undercard with Hispanic talent. Former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito is one of the fighters they are planning to put on the show. A three fight undercard is being put together for the pay-per-view.

"We're looking to put a lot of Hispanic fighters on the card. Margarito is one of them. I've already spoken with Dickie Cole [Texas Athletic Commission] on when he can apply [for a license]. Roberto Marroquin will definitely be on the show. They love him out here. And Bruce [Top Rank's head matchmaker] will put together some more matches," Arum said.

"There will be three fights underneath Pacquiao vs. Clottey. A press conference is scheduled for the 18th in Dallas and a New York press conference on the 19th. And as part of the deal we made with Jerry, is for them [Cowboys organization] to be involved." - BoxingScene.com
