Hope you get entertained and hyped up for the upcoming Pacquiao vs Mosley mega-showdown at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. The fight will be on May 7th live on pay-per-view. Manny Pacquiao will defend his WBO Welterweight Belt against former three-division world champion Shane Mosley. The fight will happen at the 147-pound-limit weight class.
Fight Camp 360 Episode 1 Preview
The first episode video features the five-stop promotional tour of Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley, a couple of months ago. The press and promotional tour was headed by Bob Arum, owner of Top Rank Promotions which is the main promoter of the upcoming May 7th fight. Pacquiao and Mosley were interviewed countless of times by the people in the media. Check the videos to find out their answers.
Pacquiao, now a congressman in the Philippines, believes that his many boxing fans are expecting a lot from him.
Many discount Shane as a good boxer at this point in time. He turns 40 years old this year and his last two fights were not impressive at all. Shane Mosley sees it as disrespectful and he badly wants to prove people wrong.
Bob Arum, the promoter of the fight, sees the upcoming fight as entertaining and the most logical for business. Manny Pacquiao is an aggressive fighter and this is the type of opponent Shane Mosley wants to fight. It is said that these two gentlemen will just throw their punches at will without much effort on defending themselves, and this makes this fight amusing to watch.
Fight Camp 360 Episode 2 Preview
In the second episode, it features Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach training in Baguio, a high-altitude city in the Philippines. Pacman says that his relationship with his coach is special because it’s not only a “boxer-trainer type”, but they are good friends and they are like brothers as well. Manny has been working with Roach since 2001 and he said that it’s a great experience.
Shane Mosley started his training camp in Big Bear, California with his trainer Naazim Richardson. He brought his son Shane Mosley Jr inside the camp to train with him and help him become a good boxer in the future. They believe that working so hard can be very stressful, so they also take time to laugh, play billiards and do other stuffs while in training for the forthcoming fight.
There’s more at stake for Manny Pacquiao now that he is a congressman. If he loses he feels he’s let his whole country down as well as his large fan base from all over the world.
Mosley believes in Manny’s abilities but they believe that training properly will make them pull an upset on May 7th. Mosley knows that if he can win against the ring icon, he will be at the top.
Fight Camp 360 Episode 3 Preview
On the episode 3, both men continued with their training because they know what is at stake for them. If Manny wins via knockout against Shane, he will get the distinction of being the first boxer to win against the Pomona native via stoppage. If Mosley wins against the pound-for-pound king, he will get the attention of many other boxers and fans and he will be at the top.
Shane Mosley is very hungry for a win because he only won 2 of his last five fights. His last two fights were solid but it’s not impressive or sensational. He lost to Floyd Mayweather Jr a year ago and then four months later his fight against Sergio Mora was scored a draw. This time he will fight against the best in the sport and if he wins, he will bring himself to new heights.
Pacquiao who started from ‘nothing’ can’t imagine that he has already achieved a lot of things. Not only as the first and only active boxer to become a congressman, he also won his eighth championship belt in as many weight classes last year.
Freddie Roach is confident that Manny Pacquiao will win this fight and he says there’s no one like him out there and there never will be. His ward is just too strong and too powerful for any opponent that he will face.
Naazim Richardson, who’s trained Shane Mosley in his last three fights, says his guy has such a warm smile and a great personality outside the ring. But he says it’s hard to believe that he can be that kind of monster in the ring.
Fight Camp 360 Episode 4 Preview
The last episode featured both boxers while they continue on the final part of their training camp. Both of their training camps are now located in California – Manny Pacquiao is in Hollywood with Freddie Roach while Shane Mosley is in Big Bear with Naazim Richardson. The video also features Dr. Dre’s new single “Die Hard featuring Eminem”.
The preview video of the episode 4 will be released by Showtime soon and will be posted on this blog. The full episode can be seen on Showtime at 10/9c this Friday, May 6th. The encore presentation will be on CBS at 2/1c this Saturday, May 7th.

During yesterday's weigh-in, Pacquiao tipped the scales at 145 lbs while Mosley weighed-in at 147 lbs. If Manny wins against Sugar Shane today, Pacquiao's most sensible next fight will be against Juan Manuel Marquez. It must be a good thing that this fight will happen in the weekend after Cinco de Mayo so Mexican's will watch the fight and see if Marquez is still at par with the Filipino ring icon.
Manny Pacquiao will wear yellow gloves as a symbol for fighting poverty in the Philippines. His coach Freddie Roach, who received the Trainer of the Year award yesterday, will be on his side while Naazim Richardson will be on Shane Mosley's corner.

Pacquiao vs Marquez on November 12, 2011
Marquez may be my next opponent after Mosley - Pacquiao
It was confirmed by reliable sources that Bob Arum, the owner and CEO of Top Rank Promotions, sent Juan Manuel Marquez a contract to fight Manny Pacquiao either in October or November 12 for the next fight schedule of Pacquiao. The amount discussed was a hefty $5 million certain money for Marquez plus incentives from every pay-per-view buys generated. Marquez went to the Pacquiao-Mosley weigh in to see his long-time rival Manny Pacquiao.
Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao, a congressman in the lone province of Sarangani in the Philippines, is scheduled to fight “Sugar” Shane Mosley today (Saturday, May 7, 2011) at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. He will defend his WBO (World Boxing Organization) Welterweight Crown at 147-pounds; this time, without a “catch-weight”.
If the Filipino ring icon loses to the former three-division champion, a compulsory Pacquiao vs Mosley rematch will happen later this year. But if Pacman prevails against Shane, a trilogy against Juan Manuel Marquez will be the most sensible next fight for him because the Pacquiao vs Mayweather can't be settled because of the legal troubles Floyd is currently facing.
“There's a big possibility, 80 percent, that Marquez is going to be my next opponent,” Pacquiao said during his speech on Wednesday's final press conference at the Hollywood Theater of the MGM Grand Hotel.
Many analysts believe that Juan Manuel Marquez will give Pacquiao a hard-fought fight if they clash for the third time. In 2004, the first fight between Pacquiao and Marquez, the Mexican suffered three knockdowns in the first round alone. He fought back in the later rounds and ended the fight in a draw. Pacquiao should have won that fight if one of the referees scored the first round correctly at 10-6. The ref admitted his fault by scoring 10-7, later on.
Pacman and Marquez met again four years later. Marquez fell in the third round of that fight but recovered in the later rounds. Marquez lose by split decision which many thought he won it.
Since then, Juan Manuel has his eye on Pacquiao, who then moved up several weight divisions and won eight different championships in as much weight classes.
Marquez thought he can compete at Pacquiao’s current weight, so he challenged the undefeated Floyd Mayweather at 144 pounds only to lose in awry fashion.
The trilogy between Marquez and Pacquiao is not settled yet because Marquez had to balance Golden Boy’s counter-offer. He doesn’t know which weight class they will fight; but it’s almost certain, the weight class will be below 147 pounds because Marquez already learned his lesson against Mayweather, the boxer to hand Shane Mosley’s last defeat.
For Marquez’s fans, watch out for the Pacquiao vs Mosley fight on Saturday and pray that Manny will win the fight. If he does, pray again that Marquez will accept the offer so both he and Pacquiao will finally settle the score.

Video: Weigh in of Pacquiao vs Mosley
Shane Mosley, at one point of his career was the top pound-for-pound – but that was last 2002. This time he will be up against Manny Pacquiao, the rated number one pound-for-pound fighter right now. Hours ago, the weigh in of Pacquiao vs Mosley inside the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, materialized. Manny Pacquiao, the Filipino Congressman, tipped the scales at 145 pounds and American Sugar Shane Mosley weighed-in at 147 pounds.
The weight limit for the weight in was 147 lbs because the fight will be settled at the welterweight division. Manny Pacquiao is going to defend his WBO Welterweight Crown against the Pomona native; the same belt he got from Miguel Cotto, a common opponent of Pacquiao and Mosley, in November 2009.
A jam-packed crowd inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena welcomed Pacquiao and Mosley to see how they both weighted and at the same time looked at how conditioned their body is. It is definitely a sold-out event, about half of the arena opened up. Thousands of people had a hard time getting inside the jam-packed event. Some of them are just waiting at the casino and waited for the event to finish.
Pacquiao debuted in 106 pounds. He was a world champion at 112 lbs, 115 lbs, 122 lbs working all the way up to 154 lbs when he fought Antonio Margarito in November last year. This time, he will be back at 147 pounds to settle the score with Shane Mosley who is believed to be one of the toughest opponents in the weight class.
Sugar Shane Mosley for the last eight to ten years has been campaigning in the welterweight and middleweight divisions. He is 39 years old; Manny Pacquiao is 32 years old.
The Pacquiao vs Mosley fight is one of the most discussed bouts in recent years. This is because of Shane’s last two performances that were anything less than impressive while Manny Pacquiao is on a 13th winning streak and hasn’t lost since the 2005 fight against Erik Morales.
Please see the weigh-in video below and share it to your friends. The Pacquiao vs Mosley fight is promoted by Top Rank Promotions in association with MP Promotions, SSM Promotions, Tecate, MGM Grand Arena and Showtime.

Pacquiao, Mosley to fight weekend after Cinco de Mayo
Yesterday was a special day in the United States because it was Cinco de Mayo, a holiday celebrated nationwide in the United States and regionally in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla every May 5th of the year. The date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride, and to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War. In the state of Puebla, the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza SeguĂn. Contrary to widespread popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day, the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico, which occurs on September 16th.
The weekend after Cinco de Mayo will be the explosive fight between Filipino Manny Pacquiao and American Sugar Shane Mosley. It will be at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Filipinos, Americans, Spanish and Mexicans will occupy the sold-out venue to see the Pacquiao vs Mosley fight.
Prior to the agreement between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley to fight, Arum brought three possible opponents to Pacquiao’s table. They were Americans Andre Berto and Shane Mosley and Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez. Enthusiasts and fans thought that the most sensible next opponent for Pacquiao was Juan Manuel Marquez because of their explosive first two fights. In 2003, the fight was scored a draw and in 2008, Pacquiao won by split decision which many thought Marquez won.
Pacquiao didn’t listen to the fans. Instead, he listened to Arum and Koncz’s advise to fight Shane Mosley because of his popularity by winning against Oscar de la Hoya twice and fighting against undefeated compatriot Floyd Mayweather Jr last year. So Manny decided to settle for a mismatch and just helped in hyping up the fight to minimize the 9-to-1 underdog status of Mosley. Now, the odd has become 5-to-1.
On May 7, the weekend after Cinco de Mayo, the Pacquiao vs Mosley fight will be settled in the Entertainment Capital of the World. This will be Pacquiao’s 7th time inside the MGM Grand Arena and holds a record of 4-1-1. His draw was scored by Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez and his loss was scored by Mexican Erik Morales.
If Pacquiao wins against Shane Mosley this weekend, will he fight a Mexican next?

Pacquiao to win a hard-fought battle versus Mosley
Many boxing analysts thinks Manny Pacquiao will win easily in his fight fight versus American Shane Mosley. Pacquiao, who is not new to breaking the improbable, will try to be the first boxer to score a stoppage against Mosley. In Shane’s six losses, no one has ever stopped him from going the distance. The only boxer to come close to a knockout victory was the late Vernon Forrest, the first boxer to hand Sugar Shane is first defeat.
Many agree that Shane is a solid boxer and clever inside the ring. His age speaks for himself and he gets new experiences every time he is out there to box. Even at 39 years old, he continues to punch like a 30-year old boxer. The only problem with veteran Shane Mosley is his endurance to reach 12 rounds. He has shown this problem in his last two fights. Mosley was impressive in the first 3-4 rounds of those fights. In the later rounds, his power punches are no longer powerful and his stamina is already consumed.
Mosley poses a threat to Pacquiao’s WBO welterweight crown this Saturday. In the first few rounds of the fight, Pacquiao better be careful with the solid rights of Shane. Mosley’s strategy will be to start fast and strong so Pacquiao will turn into a defensive fighter. If Sugar hits Pacquiao with solid blows to the body in the early rounds, the later rounds will be in favor of him. If Shane is not able to hit his power punches at Pacquiao in the early going, his energy in the later rounds will no longer be at par against the 32-year old Manny Pacquiao.
Pacman, a congressman in the Philippines, the first active boxer to achieve such feat, will be all out in the first few rounds. If he wins this fight, he will forever remember May 7, 2011 by winning a hard-fought battle against one of the toughest opponents in the welterweight division.
Mosley is stronger and faster than Antonio Margarito. It’s evident because he is the only boxer to hand Antonio his KO loss. Shane has a height advantage of 3 ½ inches over Pacquiao and his reach advantage is 7 inches.
This Saturday we will see if Mosley, win or lose, will give Pacquiao a hard-fought fight.
