They're gonna stir up the Mayweather talk again, that's for sure.

In a perfect world (forgetting Mayweather), he would fight Provodnikov. But they're both Freddie Roach fighters so that's a very slim chance. Marquez doesn't want to fight Pacquiao again, so maybe a Bradley rematch.

I don't see anything with Provodnikov, at least not next. It would be great to see him up next against the winner of Broner/Maidana, but it really wouldn't make much sense at this point. Bradley obv would be the fight that would make the most sense. In fact I don't see how that doesn't happen now, especially with Marquez out of the picture and pretty much being irrelevant. With that loss avenged it would clear the way for all the hype about the superfight to commence once again. Then we get to watch it not happen all over again.

Speaking of Broner/Maidana. Not sure I've ever wanted to see a guy get knocked out, as badly as I want to see Maidana knock Broner out.

Pretty much all of the decent fights for Pacquiao (not named Bradley) are with GBP. Those definitely aren't happening. If it's not Bradley, I don't know who it'll be.

Great to see manny getting a dominating win. All the washed up talk was tilting the hell out of me. Dude got robbed against bradley (manny beat the living shit out of him .... Literally put him in a wheelchair). Dude was beating the shit out of roided marquez until he walked into a perfect punch. Now everybody can stop saying his career is over and go back to speculating about a mayweather fight that will never happen (mayweather has nothing to gain from the fight because he's gonna get his quarter billion no matter what and everything to lose because manny could possibly knock him out...)

LOL. Bradley twisted his ankle. It's not like Manny beat him into the ground. He did win the fight, though.

Rios was selected for two reasons. To see if Pacquiao could still take a punch, and to make Pacquiao look good. It's hard to say if Pacquiao has lost a step or not, because Rios is tailor made for him. The fight was over as soon as Manny realized he could handle his power.

Mayweather/Pacquiao was a mismatch 5 years ago and it's a mismatch now.

Pacquiao-"only GOD can retire me"

Is GOD's name Bob Arum?

I'd like to see Pac get the decision he deserved against Bradley the first time, in his next fight. In a perfect world, next year we get Mayweather-Garcia and Pac-Bradley, then later in the year the winners (May and Pac) fight. Instead we'll get Mayweather-Khan, cuz this is boxing.

Groves got jobbed. I bet we get a rematch of that fight next year.

I would love to see Broner get knocked out too, JMM, but I think he's gonna have a breakout performance and dominate Maidana.

That was a tough loss for Groves. Bad, bad stoppage. No idea if he survives the last couple of rounds or not, but he damn sure should have been given the opportunity to try.

I've got a feeling that Broner is going to beat Maidana pretty easily, too. Stylistic nightmare for Maidana. At some point we should get to see what kind of punch Broner can take, though.

I don't know any of the others.

cool long article about boxing and being broke, and the fact that Manny's pretty much already there.

http://www.sbnation.com/longform/201...t-2013-profile

Had to POS rep for this, fantastic article. I always wondered how he was with money considering the gambling and entourage, now throw in politics and the church and it's a wonder he has anything left. Well, turns out he doesn't.

Haven't really read anything about it, but saw earlier that they locked his accounts up.

Probably wishing he had taken that 40 million Mayweather offered him.

[TheXFactor]

According to the L.A. times, Pacquiao owes about $50 million in back taxes in 2008-2009.

Pacquiao says he paid 30% in taxes in the U.S. and he must show proof to the tax
authorities in the Philippines so he doesn't have to pay another 20%.

The Philippines government froze 22 bank accounts belonging to Manny Pacquiao
and his wife but they only seized about $25,200 from 2 accounts.

Pacquiao obviously has secret bank accounts with alot more cash in them.

Ugh. Anthony Mundine dominates Shane Mosley over 6 rounds, until the ref stops the fight because Mosley was having back spasms.

Which then prompted the idiot Aussie announcers to say "Boy, unbelievable! Anthony Mundine can ask for Floyd Mayweather, or anyone else for that matter. He's done something that no other man was capable of!"

Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

lol yeah, Mundine is a joke and anyone who thinks Floyd would or should ever fight him knows zero about boxing. I hope Mosley finally quits, but I bet he won't.

It sounded like he might. They asked him directly if this was it. And he said something like "I'll have to think about it, I'm getting up there in age". I would say he probably fights at least 1 more.

Mundine looked twice Mosley's size. Looked like a WW against a LHW. I guess he could fight the winner of Zab/Paulie. No real risk of getting hurt. Probably not much chance of winning, either, but at least he'll get a payday. He just doesn't throw enough punches. Clinches and looks to land one big right hand to end the fight.

My picks for tonight: Stevenson, Kovalev, Pacquiao. You heard it here first.

Pacquiao?

[JMM]

I took the under 7.5 rounds in Pala/Chisora. Got it at -120. Shot up to -220, now is back to -175.

Took over 8.5 +135 in Stevenson/Bellew. Hoping Bellew can hang around for a while.

It's really a shame that Sillakh doesn't have a chin. He's got the skills to be real good. Unfortunately, not being able to take a big shot is a recipe for disaster against Kovalev.
