Arum: Pacquiao Party Get Huge Thrilla In Manila (Makati)
The lure of bigger prize money and fame aside, leads the only thing left for him to prove is a Manny Pacquiao or. Floyd Mayweather fight. But that seems like a remote possibility as time goes and also. At 33, he's physically sound, strong, additionally great abnormal condition. That's Timothy Bradley right there describing his next antagonist. On June 9, 2012, globe will witness the Manny Pacquiao and. Timothy Bradley bout pitting a determined fighter from Palm Spring resistant to the best pound for pound fighter in the world at the moment.
So plenty of these named new studs end up being poor performers. Andre Berto comes to mind. He stepped up in class and almost lost to Luis Collazo. So Berto calls out all the names, simply like it were scripted and proceeds to battle junior welterweight Juan Urango. Not only does he fight a reduced fighter , he throws one shot and grabs in his best John Ruiz bogus.
Bob Arum believes that Kelly Pavlik is a mega star, which the results from a pure quantity of PPV buys standpoint (the loss to Hopkins didn't help either). It calls for a win in December and a move to 168 before Pavlik has any realistic chance for becoming a mega star. His opponent in December though, Paul Williams, is create threat to the fighter from 147 to 160. He or she is not a mega star simply for the fact that nobody will fight him, which results in an exposure problem. In case the guy can defeat Pavlik and campaign in three weight divisions, then HBO will can offer no choice but to anoint him.
Mega stars on the immediate horizon will be named Lopez, Valero, Gamboa, and Donaire. Freddie Roach grow to be training Guillermo Rigondeaux, a Cuban defector and two-time Olympic gold medalist (2000 and 2004). Rigondeaux has mad skills and just scored his third win by knockout earlier this month. The man needs a nickname though because typing "Guillermo Rigondeaux" is nothing at all than a spell check nightmare and recipe for carpal tunnel syndrome. G-Deaux? The Cuban Kid? For the people of you who aren't familiar with him, a website link to his professional debut is provided below.
While news of retirement would certainly make his mother happy, who has countless times begged publicly for his son to hang the gloves, the champion is to be able to be man enough to be true to his instructions. He once said definitely only retire from boxing once his coach, Freddie Roach, thinks he has slowed down and his punches diminishing in electricity.
The whole thing comes right down to the MEOW formula. Media Exposure + Opposition + Wins = Mega Music artist. Other than that, mega stars can face questionable opposition (see Mayweather). May be speak English as 2nd language (see Pacquiao). Whole lose big fights (see De La Hoya). Discovered that arrive to mega stardom late within their careers (see Calzaghe) or stay late (see Hopkins).
The profits is how the mega stars of tomorrow are mysterious yet while they are in sweaty Manny Pacquiao gyms preparing to fight eight-rounders on a local message. Some of them will choose to us as Olympic medalists. Others arrives on the scene broke and alone more than raw natural talent and the heart to remain a world champion. No, the mega stars of tomorrow are out there and they always will be going to.
