By Anthony Cain: Floyd Mayweather’s adviser Leonard Ellerbe is adamant about World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao needing to take the Olympic style random drug test that his team are requesting or else Mayweather Jr won’t take the fight with Pacquiao. In an article with Mlive, Ellerbe said “We’re insisting this take place. We’re refusing to put our guy [Mayweather] in there without it.

By Chris Stein: There are various reasons why Floyd Mayweather Jr. will beat World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao on March 13th. Perhaps the most obvious reason that Mayweather will beat Pacquiao is because of Manny’s wild flailing style of fighting. Pacquiao throws punches often like an amateur, rushing forward and throwing punches with both hands in a piston-like fashion as he runs forward.

By Manuel Perez: If trainer Freddie Roach has his way, World Boxing Organization light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley could end up as one of the main sparring partners for Manny Pacquiao to help him prepare for his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. I really feel sorry for Pacquiao if Bradley winds up in training camp with him.

By Harold Kupelle: The location of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao mega bout has finally been chosen tonight, with the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada, getting the nod over the Dallas Cowboy Stadium. It came down to the MGM Grand making the better offer, putting out $30 million compared to the $25 million offered by Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys.

By Manny Perez: Every fighter has a point in their career where they finally take a step too far in their and end up taking a beating or two. Thus far, World Boxing Association welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao has failed three times in his career when taking big challenges.
