MANILA, Philippines – Filipino boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao may have won a seat in Congress but Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s performance against Shane Mosley made him lose his pound-for-pound top ranking in Yahoo! Sports.
According to the Yahoo! Sports list issued by its boxing reporter Kevin Iole, Mayweather outpointed Pacquiao by 6 points in voting conducted by an elite panel of boxing writers from around the world.
Mayweather, who is Ring Magazine’s No. 2 pound-for-pound fighter, received 20 off the 33 first place votes for a total of 317 points while Pacquiao received 13 of 33 first places votes for 310.
In his analysis, Iole said Mayweather “showed complete game in [his] convincing win over Mosley.”
Pacquiao, however, still enjoys Ring Magazine’s No. 1 pound-for-pound ranking.
Iole, meanwhile, said in his report that he hopes the camps of Pacquiao and Mayweather will thresh out their differences to finally arrange the biggest fight to date.
“Hopefully, [Top Rank chief Bob] Arum, [Golden Boy chief Richard] Schaefer, Pacquiao advisor Michael Koncz, Mayweather advisor Al Haymon and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe can work out a deal to make it happen,” he said.
Rounding off Yahoo! Sports pound-for-pound list are:
Paul Williams (No. 3)
Juan Manuel Marquez (No. 4)
Chad Dawson (No. 5)
Sergio Martinez (No. 6)
Wladimir Klitschko (No. 7)
Timothy Bradley (No. 8 )
Shane Mosley (No. 9)
Juan Manuel Lopez (No. 10).

Pacquiao loses over Mayweather on Yahoo!
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010Manny Pacquiao rushed in the hospital
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010World welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao was admitted to hospital to treat a mild stomach ulcer and allow him to rest after campaigning for the May 10 congressional elections.
Pacquiao’s chief of staff, Jayke Joson, said Monday that doctors discovered the 31-year-old boxer had an ulcer during a routine checkup Sunday and his family convinced him to stay in a suburban Manila hospital for a few days.
“Really, Manny can only rest if you confine him to a hospital,” Joson told The Associated Press, adding Pacquiao was receiving intravenous dextrose drips. “It’s been so intense a campaign, he missed some of his meals.”
Pacquiao’s boxing promoters are working toward a possible bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr., or another fighter, as early as November.
Pacquiao’s mother, Dionisia, told The AP her son was well and may be discharged from the hospital later Monday or Tuesday.
Pacquiao won a seat in the Philippine’s powerful House of Representatives, which he will assume on June 30. Aside from preparing to enter the political arena, Pacquiao is yet to complete advertisements for products ranging from food to sports items, Joson said.
Promoter Bob Arum has said he’ll soon start talking to Mayweather’s camp about putting together the world’s top two welterweights for a Nov. 13 bout in Las Vegas or Texas.
Arum said he hoped to match Pacquiao against former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito if talks with Mayweather fall through.
The People’s Champ was Taken to the Hospital
Monday, May 24th, 2010
MANILA, Philippines – World boxing champion Manny Pacquiao was taken to a hospital on Sunday for a stomach ailment, but his lawyer said it was not serious and that he would likely be out the next day.
Pacquiao, who was recently elected as a legislator, was taken to a suburban hospital in Manila after feeling pains in his stomach, said lawyer Jesus Gacal.
“It was just his usual acid reflux. The doctor told me there is nothing to worry about,” Gacal told AFP.
“There was even no need for him to be confined but he wanted to take a rest after the (election) campaign,” the lawyer added.
He said Pacquiao had suffered from this stomach problem before.
The 31-year-old fighter, who was elected on May 10 to represent the impoverished southern province of Sarangani, has been preparing to take up his post in the Philippine parliament.
Boxing promoters are also working to arrange a bout between Pacquiao and American Floyd Mayweather in November, to settle once and for all the fighters’ claim to be the best fighter, pound-for-pound, of his generation.
Pacquiao has said he can handle the simultaneous burdens of being a legislator and training for a major fight, remarking that this required only proper “time management.”
Boxing victories as well as his commercial endorsements last year made Pacquiao the world’s sixth-highest paid athlete, with earnings of 40 million US dollars, according to Forbes magazine. (read more on AFP and Yahoo Philippines News!)
Pacquiao’s blood test in on the way.
Friday, May 21st, 2010Manny Pacquiao is willing to take the blood test as long as they’re not done close to the fight.The 31-year-old Filipino, who just became the first boxer in history ever to be elected to Congress. He said “Huwag lang sa day ng fight (Never on fight day),” the reigning WBO welterweight champion said Tuesday evening during a visit to President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III.
There are reports that according to Manny he will take the test 14 days before the fight. Pacquiao’s promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, has penciled Nov. 13 for Pacquiao’s next fight, and it could be against Mayweather or anyone else.
Pacquiao’s business manager, Michael Koncz, however, said he fears that once Pacquiao agrees to the random blood tests, the undefeated American might come up with new demands, just to keep the fight from happening.
Business manager, Michael Koncz, said that once Manny agrees to the demands of the Mayweather, the American might come with new delaying strategy.
Manny Pacquiao Vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. will happen this year!
Friday, May 14th, 2010MANNY Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach is confident that the most awaited fight of the century will with Floyd Mayweather Jr. will happen this year
Rick Reeno of boxingscene.com reported that Roach laughed off the comments made by Mayweather adviser Leonard Ellerbe, who was quoted by David Mayo of the Grand Rapids Press as saying: “Ain’t nobody thinking about Manny Pacquiao, Bob Arum or Freddie Roach. Floyd isn’t thinking about none of them, and there ain’t no negotiations starting, period. Floyd is just coming off a great win. He’s not thinking about any of them.”
But Roach thinks otherwise.
“Come on, we all know what he’s thinking about. He knows Arum was in the Philippines talking with Manny. The fight is going to happen this year. I can’t see it not happening. Arum and (Richard) Schaefer are great negotiators…they will work it out.”
Arum earlier told Manila Standard that he will disregard all comments until he gets into a room with Mayweather’s representatives to negotiate.
“I am not going to tip my hand and I’m not going to attack him and say that’s absurd. That doesn’t get us any place. This is a negotiation that I’m going to go into hoping that I can make this happen,” Arum said.
The Top Rank promoter said both the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Texas and the MGM Grand in Las Vegas are available for Nov.13, which he confirmed will be the date of congressman-elect Manny Pacquiao’s first fight.
The Filipino ring icon scored a stunning upset by defeating his wealthy rival 6-year-old Roy Chiongbian for the lone congressional seat in Sarangani province.
Despite his desire for Team Pacquiao members to stop discussing a possible Mayweather fight, Roach continued to talk. “It’s going to be a 50-50 split. No doubt about it. This won’t be an issue because that part of the negotiations was already settled.”
Talking about the random drug tests demanded by Mayweather, which resulted in previous negotiations for a fight falling through, Roach told boxingscene.com: “I think we’ll meet them halfway on the testing. It’s going to happen.”
Mayweather demanded a 14-day cutoff for the random drug tests conducted by the US Anti Doping Agency, while Pacquiao agreed to a 24-day cutoff.
Theoretically, a halfway point would be a 19-day deadline, but there’s been no indication that Pacquiao would change his original stand.
Roach said Mayweather fought flat-footed, he was hittable and a bit slower on his feet against Shane Mosley in a recent fight which he won unanimously. He still feels Mayweather has very fast hands, but doesn’t consider them to be quicker than those of Pacquiao. If Pacquiao hurts Mayweather in the same manner as Mosley, Roach doesn’t see Mayweather being able to escape to the next round.
“He’s (Mayweather) hittable and anyone Manny can hit I have no fear of. I don’t see no good defense. He makes the same moves every time in the same way. He’s very predictable. He’s fast, but Manny is faster,” Roach told Reeno.
Pacman, One last Fight?
Thursday, May 13th, 2010After securing a seat in the Philippine Congress by a landslide, local media reported Wednesday. The world boxing champion Manny Pacquio is ready for one last fight.
“I asked my mom, can I please fight one more time? She said ‘okay’,” Pacquiao was quoted as saying by the ABS-CBN news portal as he awaited formal confirmation of his election victory in the southern province of Sarangani.
”I asked my mom, can I please fight one more time? She said ‘okay’,” Pacquiao was quoted as saying by the ABS-CBN news portal as he awaited formal confirmation of his election victory in the southern province of Sarangani.
“The cable television companies and satellite providers have put the date aside for us, so the table is set,” said the flamboyant Top Rank boss.
His mother Dionisia, who is in her 60s, has asked him to stop fighting but he and Mayweather are under pressure to settle the issue of who is the greatest welterweight of their generation — not to mention win the prize money.
Pacquiao mulls legal action vs rumormongers
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
Finally, sinagot na ng mag-asawang Manny at Jinkee Pacquiao ang bagong intriga na naman sa kanila: na diumano’y nagkita sa Los Angeles sina Manny at Krista Ranillo, at bukod pa rito’y sa iisang apartment building na lang sila naninirahan.
Namataan pa daw na magkasama sila sa isang grocery store.
Pinalabas ng sabado, February 6, ng Startalk ang panayam kay Manny na kinuhanan sa training camp niya sa Hollywood. Nasa USA ngayon ang Pambansang Kamao para paghandaan ang laban niya sa Ghanaian na si Joshua Clottey na ganaganapin sa March 13 sa Arlington, Texas.
Kung dati-rati’y matipid magbigay ng pahayag si Manny sa anumang may kinalaman kay Krista, sa panayam na ito’y nagpakita na ng disgusto ang boksingero, lalo na sa mga intriga tungkol sa asawang si Jinkee.
“Alam mo, sa totoo lang, yung sinasabi nila na nakita kaming nag-dinner, nag-grocery, walang katotohanan yun.”
Sabi pa ni Manny, “Hindi ako lumalabas. Palagi ko namang kausap si Jinkee at alam niya kung nasaan ako.”
Lalong hindi nagustuhan ni Manny ang mga balitang inili-link si Jinkee kay Derek Ramsey. Bumisita kasi ang aktor sa General Santos at isa raw si Jinkee sa grupo na nag-asikaso sa kanya.
“Huwag namang ganun na maggawa sila ng sariling kuwento, na parang manira ng pamilya,” sabi ni Manny. “Tapos yung asawa ko, nili-link din sa ibang lalaki. Parang they are trying talaga na paghiwalayin kaming dalawa. What kind of people are they? Amazing!”
Krista Ranillo on pregnancy rumors: “Talaga?”
Monday, January 11th, 2010
“Ikaw, naapektuhan ka? Ha ha ha!” Yan ang tugon ng tiyahin ni Krista Ranillo na si Suzette Ranillo sa interviewer ng Startalk. Pero mukha naman itong natauhan after niya ginawa ung statement na iyon. Kaya nagpadala siya ng text message sa interviewer ng Startalk. Nangyari ito noong Last December 24, bago lumipad papuntang Amerika si Krista Ranillo kasama ang kanyang lola na si Ms. Gloria Sevilla at ang tiyahin niyang si Suzette Ranillo.
Sa US nag-Christmas ang mga Ranillos tulad nang nakaugalian na nila, pero isang araw bago ang nakatakdang pagbabalik ni Krista sa Pilipinas nabuhay muli ang intrigang buntis daw siya. At ayon sa iniulat ng Startalk, diumano’y sa Cebu pa raw ang dalaga nagpa-pregnancy test at positibo daw ang resulta. At para mamatay na ang isyu, nagsalita na ang mismong manager ni Krista na si Arnold Vegafria at sinabing hindi buntis ang kanyang alaga.Ayon sa kanya, hindi raw nagpupunta ng Cebu ang sexy star.
Sinubukan naman din kuhanan ng panig si Manny Pacquiao ng Startalk, pero hindi nila ito ma-contact.
At noong January 5, nakatanggap ng tip ang crew ng Startalk na darating daw si Krista sa araw na iyon. Dumating ang eroplano ng mga 6 a.m. Piniling dumaan ni Krista sa departure area, escorted by an Immigration Personnel.
Statement ni Krista:
“Pupunta pa po kasi ako ng taping,” ang sinagot niya sa Startalk nang hingan ito ng interview.
May balita?, tanong ng interviewer ng Startalk.
Sagot ni Krista nang nakangiti, “Marami namang balita.”
Sinabi sa kanya na ang latest issue ay buntis daw siya.
“Talaga?” ang reaksiyon ng dalaga. Nagpa-checkup daw siya sa Cebu ?
“Hindi… dito lang ako, di ba? The whole time nagte-taping, nagsu-shoot. Wala akong time na pumunta sa Cebu,” yan ang matipid na tugon ng aktres sa interviewer ng Startalk.

Body Talk with Manny Pacquiao
Monday, May 18th, 2009
Pambansang Kamao: Manny Pacquiao
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao of Sarangani!
That was how Pacman, the Pambansang Kamao no less, was introduced in Las Vegas last May 2 during his title bout with Ricky Hatton whom he knocked out not once, not twice, but thrice in the first two rounds, making him the greatest boxer of (perhaps) all time after also scoring wins in several other divisions.
And that’s how Pacman prefers to be identified now that he is determined to venture into another ring — the political ring. In 2007, he ran for Congressman in his native GenSan and lost to Darlene Custodio, Ang Dating Kampeon. In 2010, Pacman is deadset on running again for the same position, this time in Sarangani, never mind if well-meaning fans and admirers are advising him against it because they’d rather see him where he should be — in boxing, whether in action or, eventually, as trainer of would-be champs — and not somewhere else. Read more…
It’s really hard to become Manny Pacquiao. He can’t even go to malls because of his popularity. Even if you are part of his family.
