Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather will be forever joined in names, and more, as long as their mega fight doesn’t happen.

Now Manny Pacquiao, because of alleged tax evasion, faces the same future in the Philippines. More

Wladimir Klitschko hardly broke a sweat. He said he got hit by a jab that stung his eye, but no one actually so it. Jean Marc-Mormeck was way out of his league, as the younger of the Klitschko brothers retained his IBF, WBO and WBA heavyweight titles by knocking out the 39 year old Frenchman early in the fourth round.

Roger Federer won his second tournament of 2012, beating Andy Murray (7-5, 6-4) in straight sets to claim his fifth Dubai title and 72nd in his career, making it 10 consecutive wins for him and heading in to the more intensive ATP 1000 Masters months a bit more optimistic about his ability to win a Grand Slam after a long drought.
