Exclusive Interview with Manny Pacquiao, Eight -Time World Boxing Champion – New York, 2012

Manny Pacquiao is a Filipino professional boxer and politician. He is the first eight-division world champion, in which he has won ten world titles, as well as the first to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes. He is also the second highest paid athlete in the world.

He was named “Fighter of the Decade” for the 2000s decade by the Boxing Writers Association of America (BWAA), World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organization (WBO). He is also a three-time The Ring and BWAA “Fighter of the Year,” winning the award in 2006, 2008 and 2009, and the Best Fighter ESPY Award in 2009 and 2011.

Pacquiao met Juan Manuel Márquez on December 8, 2012, for a fourth time, in a non-title bout at welterweight. Pacquiao was knocked out with one second left in the sixth round by a right to the jaw, giving Marquez the KO win.

Pacquiao is scheduled for a non-title bout at welterweight on November 23, 2013, at the Venetian Macao Resort & Hotel in Macau of the special administrative regions in China against The Ring ranked #6 Junior Welterweight Brandon Ríos. This will be Pacquiao’s first fight to be held in China.

Floyd “Money” Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto New York Press Conference at the Apollo Theatre – Harlem, New York, 2012

“A lot of great champions come from Puerto Rico,” said Mayweather. “You guys have got another great champion in Miguel Cotto, tough, strong, solid 154-pounder.”

“I’m not looking to cheat, like I said before. My thing is this, I told Miguel Cotto: ‘I don’t want to fight you at a catchweight, I want to fight the best Miguel Cotto,” he continued.

Mayweather went on to say, “To be the best you’ve got to beat the best and he’s one of the best fighters out there today. I want to finish putting the rest of the pieces to the puzzle, so I can solidify myself as one of the best fighters to ever live.”

‘We appreciate the fans for supporting us, but when it comes down to it, it’s one-on-one. The trainer can’t fight for the fighters. Pacquiao’s an amazing fighter. But all I got to say is if you’ve got nothing to hide take the test.”

“At the age of 35, I’m still going strong, I’m still hungry, and I still want to give you fans nothing but excitement. I want you guys to tune in May 5, support Floyd Mayweather, support Miguel Cotto, because we’re going to give you guys a toe-to-toe battle,” Mayweather finished.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez – December 8, 2012

Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have met in the ring time and time again. On December 8, the two fighters will meet one more time in an apparent effort to determine who the better boxing champion is.

The first three Pacquiao-Marquez fights were memorable. The initial meeting in 2004 ended in a draw. Take two saw Pacquiao emerge with a split-decision win, aided by a third-round knockdown. Pacquiao-Marquez III was supposed to be the “deciding” bout, but – despite Pacquiao winning on two of the three scorecards – the third part in the trilogy ended being anything but decisive.

Each fight was close enough that many boxing fans and experts can reasonably argue the outcomes. Some believe Marquez should have emerged victorious in all three. Pacquiao wants to prove the critics wrong. Marquez wants to get his win.

For boxing fans and the fighters, a knockout for either boxer would be a great way to end this historic rivalry between the two future Hall of Fame boxers.

World Liberty TV Boxing Team was on hand at the New York Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV Press Conference to promote their fourth fight in Las Vegas on December 8th 2012.

Freddie Roach, Trainer of Manny Pacquiao talks about the Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV

“Pacquiao knows there is a lot of lingering discontent over his three fights, two wins, and a draw against Marquez. He also knows that in the eyes of many, he lost one, two, or even all three of those fights,” said Roach. That’s why Freddie Roach says he has no intention of letting his fighter, take this fight to the scorecards. It’s an outcome; he doesn’t think his guy can win.

“But I need to get Manny to get that killer instinct back,” Roach told the World Liberty TV Boxing Channel.

Interview with Manny Pacquiao about his fourth fight with Juan Manuel Marquez – 2012

“I have nothing to prove against Bradley,” Pacquiao said. “Everyone saw who won the fight. If we fought it again, it would be one sided. I chose Marquez because we can give the fans a more exciting fight. I want to prove and remove any doubt anyone has.”

Even though I disagree with Pacquiao’s assessment that a rematch against Bradley would be one-sided, I can’t say I blame him for deciding to go with Marquez. “Dinamita” is a lot more marketable than Bradley, which equals higher earnings for all involved.

The World Liberty TV Team interviewed Manny Pacquaio at the NY Press Conference. Pacquiao also mentioned that he will be looking for a knockout for this fight and wants to leave no doubt in this fight.

Interview with Vitali Klitschko, WBC World Heavyweight Boxing Champion at the BWAA Awards Gala 2012

Vitali Klitschko is a Ukrainian professional boxer and the reigning WBC heavyweight champion. He is leader of the political party Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform and since December 15, 2012, a member of the Ukrainian parliament. He previously held the WBO and WBC titles. Klitschko is the first professional boxing world champion to hold a PhD degree.

Both Vitali and his brother are avid chess players. Vitali is a friend of former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik and the two have played, with Kramnik always winning. Vitali has commented that “Chess is similar to boxing. You need to develop a strategy, and you need to think two or three steps ahead about what your opponent is doing. You have to be smart. But what’s the difference between chess and boxing? In chess, nobody is an expert, but everybody plays. In boxing, everybody is an expert, but nobody fights.”

Interview with the Oldest Boxer in History to win a Title, Bernard Hopkins – New York, 2012

Bernard Hopkins Jr., known as The Executioner (born January 15, 1965) is an American boxer. Hopkins is most widely known for his career in the middleweight class, where he held at least a piece of the championship in that class from 1994 until 2005. Having held the International Boxing Federation’s middleweight title first, he unified the titles of all three of boxing’s major sanctioning bodies in 2001 by winning the World Boxing Association and World Boxing Council titles.

In 2004 Hopkins, having added The Ring middleweight championship to his resume as well, became the first middleweight to have held all four of what are considered the major belts when he won the World Boxing Organization’s championship from Oscar De La Hoya.

Having defended a world middleweight title a record 20 times before losing the title in 2005, he is considered one of the greatest middleweight champions of all time. The Ring ranked him #3 on their list of the “10 Best Middleweight Title Holders of the Last 50 years.”

In addition to being an active boxer, Hopkins is also a minority partner with Golden Boy Promotions.
