122 LB. CHAMPS CLASH FOR UNIVERSAL SUPREMACY
Nonito Donaire KO's Fernando Montiel
Sacramento, CA- After months of back-and-forth social media insults and accusations of “ducking,” Nonito Donaire (31-1, 20 KOs) and Guillermo Rigondeaux (11-0, 8 KOs) have finally agreed to face each other at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The two super bantamweight (122 lbs.) titleholders will compete for super bantamweight supremacy on April 13th, 2013. One man will end up with his hand raised at the end of the night, but which man will that be?
DONAIRE BACKERS CLAIM RIGO DOESN’T TAKE WELL!
Donaire supporters say that Rigondeaux is not seasoned enough as a professional to compete with the “Filipino Flash.” They also point to Rigo’s apparent lack of punch resistance after being wobbled multiple times by Robert Marroquin (22-2, 15 KO) in his last fight. Specifically, they point to the punch that rocked Guillermo; the left hook.

CONSERVATIVES LOOKING TO NOMINATE MANNY PACQUIAO IN 2016
Philippine President Manny Pacquiao?
San Francisco, CA- Although there is a plethora of anticipation that iconic Filipino boxer and current Congressman Manny Pacquiao will run for the Presidency of the Philippines in 2016, he has plenty of Filipino American political detractors. Some have even speculated that Pacquiao’s recent metamorphosis from being a pussy bandit with an illegitimate kid and a gambling problem that was said to crossover with his over consumption of alcoholic beverages, to that of a Born Again Christianity is window dressing for a run at an office once held by the late and infamous Ferdinand Marcos. In recent months, when the subject of Manny Pacquiao the boxer comes up with Filipino Americans, I also broach his alleged political aspirations.
NURSE WAS BEYOND BLUNT
My aunt has a Filipino nurse come and see her once a week. Never before have we discussed Manny Pacquiao. That changed Wednesday when she brought up Pacquiao during a conversation. Educated with two college degrees, the woman took a deep breathe as she sat down. “Manny Pacquiao will never be president of the Philippines.” Being the pushy type, I wouldn’t let her end on that note so I prodded some more and asked her why she feels that way? “Pacquiao has no real education, he says stupid things, some of which he wishes he could take back.” She was referring to the comments attributed to Pacquiao that, “All Gay men should be killed.” When the US Media and Gay groups got wind of something that had been in the press for a few days, that and his being banned from a Los Angeles shopping mall, Team Pacquiao went into “Damage Control” and the writer implied that Manny was taken out of context.
HE WAS JUST “MANNY PACQUIAO” BEFORE FAME & RICHES
Having first met Pacquiao in late 2001 in San Francisco as he completed final workouts for what turned out to be one of his most disappointing ring performances when he all but quit in a fight with the late Agapito Sanchez, then the dirtiest fighter in the game of boxing. Although his English was limited, it was apparent that Pacquiao was not a future Rhode Scholar. Nice, cordial, respectful, this was at a point in Pacquiao’s life where he didn’t have millions of dollars in the bank, luxurious mansions, his own team of bodyguards that mirror the United States Secret Service protection bestowed upon President Barack Obama.

RECENT UPROAR OVER MANNY PACQUIAO STATEMENTS
San Francisco, CA- By now, we’ve all heard about the anti-Gay marriage stance of Manny Pacquiao. We have also read that he was thought to have said, “All Gay Men Should Be Killed.” The writer, either he misquoted Pacquiao or was “forced” to fall on his sword and take one for the Pacquiao team as the negative publicity brought about by the article in a Los Angeles, CA web publication, has gotten the ire of Gay people, as well as those who believe Lesbians, Bisexuals, Gay men and those of the Transgender persuasion, should not be discriminated upon and be allowed to pursue happiness regardless of their sexual orientation.
Which One Is An Actual Female?
Which One Is An Actual Female?
When I was a San Francisco Policeman, I gave a Filipino woman, who had a California issued identification card, a “citation” for shoplifting ay Macy’s. Even my Field Training Officer, as I was still in the “Field Training” program, who had to approve everything I did, signed off on the citation for a charge of 488 PC (Petty Theft). We both commented later on the thought to be female’s good looks and curves. Three days later, I was working the transport van, known in some circles as the “paddy wagon,” when I saw this same individual linked together with handcuffs to a string of eight or so men. That’s when Sgt. Perini called both Field Training Officer Dan Ferretti and myself aside and told us the “chick” we had cited three days prior was actually a male. Everybody was laughing, except the person being transported to City Prison.

Manny Pacquiao In Prayer
San Francisco, CA- Although I must admit that I get more negative “heat” on Floyd Mayweather, at the same time there are plenty of Manny Pacquiao detractors. There are the people that think he used Performance Enhancing Drugs to the reach the heights he has in boxing. Some people feel he is a black belt in hypocrisy. Others think he’s just some dumb Filipino kid from the sticks that promoter Bob Arum “pimps off.” An increasing amount of you just feel he’s got a yellow streak running through him and that has resulted in him not fighting Floyd Mayweather. People of that vein are also of the opinion that Manny, if not Arum’s prize pugilistic whore, is certainly Massa’ Bob’s finger puppet.
LETS LOOK AT THE WHOLE PICTURE FIRST!
Those who ride the back of one-time Filipino fireball, they belabor the fact that Manny has forced guys into taking fights with him only when they are at a disadvantage. They cite Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito, Oscar De La Hoya. And while they might be right on the first two, De La Hoya, not having learned the lesson of “Sugar Ray” Leonard and many fighters before him. Leonard agreed to fight Hector Camacho, this in his ring finale, at 160 lbs., a weight he hadn’t made in years. Camacho’s promoter Mike “Spendthrift” Acri, demanded that Ray and Camacho weigh in the morning of the fight, not the day before. De La Hoya, who looked like a guy on Chemotherapy he was so skinny, stated 147 lbs. was not unreasonable for him. Neither Leonard nor De La Hoya won a round against Camacho and Pacquiao.

The man that has been boxing’s most successful manager for the past quarter century, Shelly “Sheldon” Finkel, a former rock music promoter who sprang to boxing prominence after signing most of the 1984 United States Olympic team, Finkel stepped in and worked out a deal for Manny with the IRS. What did the ingrate that Manny Pacquiao is do in response to Finkel saving his ass? Pacquiao, whom Finkel didn’t think needed a promoter (like Floyd Mayweather) was canned by the Philippine Congressman.

Chavez whipping on yet another bum
New York, NY- “Big time” boxing makes it’s first appearance of the year when Mexico’s “Son of a Legend” WBC Middleweight (160) Champion Julio Ceasar Chavez Jr. (44-0-1, 31 KOs) squares off against “been there done that, but never did it” hapless challenger Marco Antonio Rubio (53-5-1, 36 KOs) over 12 proposed rounds of throw down at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, Saturday at 10:00 PM ET on HBO.
IS “JUNIOR” THE GOODS OR JUST HYPE?
At the tender age of just 26 years old, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has already competed in 45 fights without knowing defeat. However, his level of opposition has left much to be desired. Since his professional debut in 2003, Chavez opponents have commonly been comprised of “C” class battlers with losing records. During that span Chavez went “life and death” with two (at best) “B” class fighters and barely crossed the finish line in each. To his credit, Chavez has displayed proven boxing ability; especially in the educated way he varies his punch selection. In addition, by recently hiring Hall of Fame bound boxer/trainer Freddie Roach READ MORE…
Filipinos Demanding Mayweather Fight
San Francisco, CA- A writer who used to work for Don King, who many think “unofficially” now works for Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum, one Michael “The Menace” Marley, is now reporting that Arum and his company Top Rank will try and go forward with a Floyd Mayweather fight, sooner, rather than later. Reason being, Pacquiao is taking more heat at home in the Philippines by his countryman than he can handle.

Manny Pacquiao & First US Promoter Murad Muhammad
ARUM, OSCAR & KONCZ, ARE THEY MURAD MUHAMMAD TIMES THREE?
San Francisco, CA- The astute Jack Dunne put forth some comments of late that started my intellectual wheels turning. How could Manny Pacquiao end up being beholden to three promoters after his first American promoter Murad Muhammad played him like a Crack whore several years ago? Currently, Pacquiao splits his money up three ways with Bob Arum’s Top Rank, Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions and Michael Koncz of MP Promotions?

Mayweather-Pacquiao: Has Manny Become "Manila Fried Chicken?"
Los Angeles, CA- There’s one country where one particular prizefighter can do it all. He’s so accepted and loved by every man, woman and child that when he fights, the crime rate is non-existent. His many occupations include singing, acting, a Congressional seat, many endorsement deals, and did I fail to mention he’s a multi-division boxing champion? His name is Manny Pacquiao, who is 54-3 with 38 KOs. Oh, and if you didn’t know it already, he’s not fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KOs) anytime soon, especially after Juan Manuel Marquez exposed Pacman’s limitations in Noveber 2012.
MANNY HAD FLOYD IN 2010 & WOULDN’T TAKE THE TESTS!
In 2010, Manny balked at random Steroid testing and the March 10 date went to to Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey, this after Floyd agreed to Manny’s demands that he pay millions of dollars if he could not make 147 lbs. on the scale. It’s a damn shame with all the talk and so-called negotiations between the two fighters that they simply cannot come to terms on the richest fight in the sport’s history.

Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao
San Francisco, CA- Last week I told you how Manny Pacquiao’s fight with Floyd Mayweather was in further peril when his chief advisor Joe Konze when back to Manny Pacquiao and told him that Mayweather wanted Pacquiao to take less than a 50-50 split in the fight’s revenues and random drug testing and screening with no time limits. The Pacquiao fans were livid and went after Floyd in the blogosphere. Calling every name you might not imagine, the crazy contingent of the Manny Pacquiao following, again accused Mayweather of “ducking” their iconic countryman.
PACQUAIO SAYS HE WILL NOW TAKE LESS MONEY THAN MAYWEATHER
Quoted in a number of outlets over the weekend, Pacquiao stated that he would NOW take less than the 50% of the revenues for a fight with Floyd Mayweather. Say what? Filipinos going crazy as it is becoming clear to them that Floyd the businessman is better than Pacquiao the businessman. For if he was and fought Mayweather in March 2010 in stead of refusing random drug testing, Manny would be controlling the entire process of negotiating, now bowing to Floyd demands.
