In what is expected to be the final fight of his illustrious 19-year career, boxing superstar and pound-for- pound king Mayweather (48-0, 26 KOs) will put his undefeated record and WBC and WBA Welterweight World Championships on the line against power-punching, two-time welterweight world champion Berto (30- 3, 23 KOs).

Here is what the fighters and Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, said at MGM Grand on Tuesday: FLOYD MAYWEATHER "To become great, you have to follow greatness. To become a great leader you have to be a great follower. "I want every fighter to stay focused and on a parallel path. "I've done a lot for this sport. Everyone used to be focused on heavyweights. My ultimate goal was to have everyone focus at whatever weight class I was, in my weight class. I've always been able to make noise at whatever weight class I was in. "We want Andre to believe in himself and his skills. "Every fighter that I've ever faced had the remedy to beat me, but the results have always been the same. "I don't overlook anyone, he's a tough competitor, and we will just have to see what happens on Saturday. "My ultimate goal is that we can find another Floyd Mayweather. When I turned professional I was a teenager and the MGM was Mike Tyson's building. I'm just blessed and I feel like I was dealt a royal flush. (On Jen Welter) "She is a remarkable woman; I look forward to meeting her. She's a trailblazer." ANDRE BERTO "I had a tremendous training camp. I am in better shape than I've been in years. "I'm looking forward to making history on Saturday. "I don't know anything about any code that Mayweather has. When I want to walk through a door I just break through." LEONARD ELLERBE "We're really honored to be able to honor her (Jen Welter) at the Titans of Trade breakfast. This is our sixth breakfast; we've been able to recognize other great women who have contributed to sports. "She's a remarkable person and we look forward to honoring her and having her attend the fight." BADOU JACK "This is my first defense so I'm excited and absolutely ready for Saturday. He says he is going to win, but we'll see how it goes on fight night. "I'm ready to go. I'm ready to knock him out.'' GEORGE GROVES "I'm feeling great, really focused and had a great camp. On Saturday all I have to do is be myself and I will get the job done. "Jack is a good opponent but he is not as good as me. "I appreciate all the support I am getting from the Brit fans, some of whom are here today. This is going to be a good week.'' ROMAN "ROCKY" MARTINEZ "I am very proud to be on this card and what better way to be a part of it than against Salido again. "We all know Salido's style: he falls and is used to getting up and continuing to fight. This is going to be a tough fight like our last one. But I am going to do my best and do what I can to win again.'' ORLANDO SALIDO "I'm ready to bring on the war, give it everything I've got and looking for a big win. I know I made a lot of mistakes in the last fight but I'm confident I corrected them. "A big difference in this fight is that it is not in Puerto Rico like our first one, this one's at a neutral site the United States. Whether it's a decision or a knockout, I'm coming to win.'' JHONNY GONZALEZ "Oquendo is a great, tough fighter but I am ready to take him on. I expect this to be a great fight on Saturday and I will leave everything in the ring. "This is going to be a hard fight. I'm coming here to win.'' JONATHAN OQUENDO "Jhonny Gonzalez is a champion of the world. We know he's a powerful, dangerous fighter. But I'm here to fight and give my daughter a gift on Saturday. "But this fight is for all the fans of Mexico and Puerto Rico." * * * "HIGH STAKES: Mayweather vs. Berto," a 12-round world championship bout for Mayweather's WBC and WBA Welterweight World Titles takes place Saturday, Sept. 12 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas and is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and sponsored by Tecate.

  • Snips and Snipes 8 February 2018 the Threat That the IOC May Drop Boxing from the 2020 Olympic Games Should Come As No Surprise
    Snips and Snipes 8 February 2018 The threat that the IOC may drop boxing from the 2020 Olympic Games should come as no surprise. For a few years now the AIBA which has responsibility for administrating International “amateur” boxing-but let’s not kid ourselves the Olympics Games are no longer for amateurs-have too long been focusing on making money rather than developing the sport. For a few years they have through the WSB and other initiatives helped make the transition from AIBA to professional boxing easier for elite boxers. However they have failed to tackle the quality of judging and refereeing and have failed to put in place and to police internal controls leaving themselves open to allegations of mismanagement and profligacy taking the organisation to the edge of bankruptcy. The criticism over their handling of boxing at the Rio Olympics had already put them under the IOC spotlight and then they went and shot themselves in the foot over the appointment of an interim President . They selected a man who has been sanctioned by the United States Treasury Department for alleged links to a major “transnational criminal organisation”. I can almost imagine the conversation “We need an interim President let’s appoint Gafur Rakhimov” with one voice saying “ isn’t he sanctioned by the United States Treasury Department for alleged link to a major “transnational criminal organisation”. “Yes sounds just the man for the job”! A ban from the Olympics would be a huge blow for boxing’s prestige but it is more difficult to decide whether it would have any repercussions for professional boxing.

  • Pacquiao – Mayweather to Go to Mediation Tomorrow
    Pacquiao – Mayweather to go to mediation tomorrow According to Dan Rafael of espn.com, the saga between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather will take another turn on Tuesday as the sides will head to mediation in Santa Monica, California. “We’re going into mediation,” Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter, told ESPN.com. “This guy (mediator, Daniel Weinstein) was successful resolving our nutty problem before and hopefully he can be successful this time. He’s a guy who is a big fight fan and loves the sport, and I found him last time to be a delight to deal with. Everybody did.” At the time of the previous mediation, the companies had several ongoing lawsuits, including the one at the center of the bad blood: ownership of the promotional rights to Pacquiao, who had signed contracts with both companies before eventually pledging his loyalty to Top Rank. When the disputes were settled in June 2007, Arum and Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer both credited Weinstein’s steady hand for getting them to reach an accord. Under the global settlement, Top Rank retained Pacquiao’s promotional rights with Golden Boy receiving a percentage of Top Rank’s profit from his future bouts. The hope is that Weinstein can once again help the sides see their way through what has become an increasingly nasty battle in an effort to finalize the bout between welterweight titlist Pacquiao and Mayweather, the two best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, in a fight many believe will break the pay-per- view record of 2.44 million buys.

Televised coverage begins at 9 p.m. ET/PT “There were rumors that a fight between me and Mickey Bey was on the brink of happening prior to my fight against Denis Shafikov, so now that it is here, I know it was destined to happen,” said Barthelemy. “I’m not a rookie anymore.

  • Prohibiting Headgear for Safety in Amateur Boxing? Opinion of the Canadian Boxing Community: an Online Poll Philip Dickinson* and Philip Rempel
    Dickinson and Rempel Sports Medicine - Open (2016) 2:19 DOI 10.1186/s40798-016-0043-2 ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prohibiting Headgear for Safety in Amateur Boxing? Opinion of the Canadian Boxing Community: an Online Poll Philip Dickinson* and Philip Rempel Abstract Background: In 2013, the Amateur International Boxing Association (AIBA) introduced a rule banning headgear for male-senior open class boxers during competition. The AIBA has defended the rule change as motivated by safety and supported by internal unpublished studies. As a result, in 2018, the AIBA plans to universally prohibit headgear in competition: for all competitors (male and female), all ages and all levels. Within Canada, this ruling has generated controversy in the boxing community, yet there has been no overall measure of opinion. Methods: To address this, we instituted a voluntary, anonymous, online open-access poll to allow members of the boxing community to express their stance on headgear use in competition. Results: In total, 636 responses were received. A total of 71.5 % of Canadian respondents believed headgear should be mandatory at all levels. Only 5.8 % agreed that headgear should be prohibited, as planned for 2018. Estimating results on a representative breakdown of boxing membership in Canada, a similar pattern emerged, whereby 68.2 % concurred with mandatory headgear while only 4.95 % supported its prohibition. Parents of boxers were almost unanimously against banning headgear, stating they would change sports as a result. Similarly, only 1.7 % of women believed headgear should be prohibited. Conclusions: The consensus of the Canadian boxing community largely opposes the rule changes that the AIBA has implemented.
