It might be over for Manny Pacquiao and fights on American soil, but there’s plenty of money to be made elsewhere. For example, in Macau, well the Filipino legend will stage his next bout, hoping to end his two-fight losing streak, taking on the fast rising, also coming off a defeat, Brandon Rios. More
Usually, big Rugby Union hits are delivered by the tackles, but in this case, it was the man with possession who delivered the pain. Opeti Fonua of Agen has often been described as a tank in human form, and Jonny Wilkinson of Toulon felt the full strength of the Tongan’s size, mass and momentum when he tried to tackle the big number 8.

Like most Floyd Mayweather fights, this one was over before it began. Robert Guerrero talked well before the bout, but couldn’t even get close to the best boxer in the world, who won by a unanimous decision through all scorecards, retaining his WBC Welterweight belt, adding The Ring honor and most importantly, staying undefeated while keeping his place as the number one pound-4-pound fighter in the world.

While the Robert Guerrero fight is Floyd Mayweather making his official comeback to the world of boxing, there seems to be something different this time.

Two years ago, when Amir Khan beat Zab Judah to become the IBF and WBA Light Welterweight champion, it was reasonable to talk about him having a fight with Floyd Mayweather once he moved up to Welterweight.

Maybe Mario Balotelli always dreamed about being a pimp, because that’s what he sounds like when he offers up his girlfriend as a sex-prize to Real Madrid players if they manage to pull off a huge comeback in their second leg against Borussia Dortmund and qualify to the Champions League final. More
The WBA is such a terrible organization that it has two boxers, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Floyd Mayweather Jr. holding the same title, the WBA Light Middleweight title. But as we know championships don’t matter, only money and PPV numbers do, there’s a very good chance we won’t get to see who is the “real” champion of yet another title belt is. More
The situation for Rafael Nadal at this stage of his career is quite different than it is for Novak Djokovic. Unless what we saw in the Monte Carlo final was a rusty Nadal who still needs more time to find his way back to the top of the game, this is as good as it gets. A final on clay, with the world’s number one standing in his way. When the careers of both men will be over, the Serb will be remembered as the better player. More
In a test of both his ability as a fighter and his growing status as a star in the boxing world, Saul Alvarez passed the test with flying colors, showing that despite his young age, he’s quite ready to continue and take on the biggest challenges left for him to conquer in the boxing world, beating Austin Trout by a unanimous decision, remaining undefeated and unifying the WBA, WBC & Ring Light Middleweight title belts.

Being a two time gold-medal winner in the Olympics isn’t enough to make you popular, and winning titles at Batmanweight won’t do the trick either if you’re not a boxer people like to watch. Guillermo Rigondeaux pulled off a huge win over one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, Nonito Donaire, but isn’t going to help him or the world of boxing in any kind of way. More
