Blinded by Money: The Mayweather-Pacquiao Illusion

Adam McMeeking - May 9, 2015

The bookmakers predicted the fight would go the distance and that Floyd Mayweather would be the victor. Floyd was a 1/2 odds on favourite and he didn’t disappoint, frustrating and befuddling his Filipino foe to win a unanimous points decision. One of the three judges had it 118/110, the other two had it 116/112. Case closed, the defensive magician had done it again. At least that’s how the story goes.

Amidst the feverish emotions that … Read Article

On social media a link to a story from NYPost.com that shows a picture of Mayweather alongside the following quote, has sparked … Read Article

Only In America! Pacquiao Sued For Injury

Olly Campbell - May 6, 2015

I’m a Brit so please forgive me if you DON’T find the American legal system slightly farcical at times, yet the BBC is reporting that two “people” have filed a lawsuit against Manny Pacquiao in Nevada for “defrauding ticket buyers, television viewers and gamblers” after the fight on Saturday.

The litigation culture in America is something foreign in the extreme to us and all this mess has stemmed from Pacquiao’s post fight insistence that a … Read Article

During training, Manny Pacquiao suffered a right shoulder injury.

Manny’s advisors notified the United States Anti-Doping Agency (“USADA”) of the shoulder injury and the treatments … Read Article

Manny Pacquaio – The truth behind that shoulder

Bill Bradshaw - May 4, 2015

I think it’s safe to say that one of the greatest conspiracy comedies of all time is the Robert De Niro/Dustin Hoffman collaboration ‘Wag the Dog’. The film depicts the lengths that unscrupulous spin-doctors will go to in pursuit of a politician’s re-election. The movie is hilarious at times but it is a clever movie throughout and it certainly makes you wonder if you should ever believe more than 50% of what you are fed … Read Article
