Las Vegas—Twenty-four years after first climbing into a professional boxing ring, Manny Pacquiao will attempt to defy the march of time here Saturday when he battles undefeated American Keith Thurman for the WBA welterweight crown.
Pacquiao battling age, hungry foe in Thurman
By Jun Amigo
The fight between WBA champions Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao and Keith ‘One
Time’ Thurman this weekend promises to be a barn burner. Both boxers
have shown they have the capability to come out victorious, but at the
same time exhibited vulnerabilities that could be exploited by either
boxer. It’s so close that most prominent boxing personalities can’t
definitively decide on a winner. It’s a pick ‘em fight where even the
betting favorites have swung from one fighter to another, initially
placing Pacquiao as the underdog but later installing him as a slight
favorite.
OXON HILL, Md. (July 17, 2019) —Teofimo Lopez is on the fast track to a world title shot. Standing in his way is a fellow unbeaten fighter, Masayoshi Nakatani, the longtime OBPF lightweight king who represents the stiffest test of Lopez's young career.
Lopez (13-0, 11 KOs) and Nakatani (18-0, 12 KOs) will meet Friday at MGM National Harbor in an IBF world title eliminator, with the winner assured a shot at world champion Richard Commey later this year. The stakes are high, and Lopez, who has never gone past seven rounds as a pro, might have to go significant professional rounds for the first time.
Ellerbe, the chief executive of Mayweather Promotions, told the boxingscene.com website that not even the prospect of another lucrative payday would tempt Mayweather back into the ring.
Mayweather is believed to have earned an estimated $300 million from the points victory over Pacquiao, which remains the most lucrative fight in history and generated more than $600 million revenue.
