Mayweather rematch GENERAL SANTOS: Philippine boxing great Manny Pacquiao has opened the door to a lucrative rematch with Floyd Mayweather, telling AFP he still intends to retire after his next fight but that a comeback is possible. The 37-year- old announced in January that his upcoming bout against American Timothy Bradley would be his last so he could concentrate on Filipino politics. However, following a high- energy training session in his hometown of General Santos, Pacquiao said he was loving the sport as much as ever and he could not rule out fighting again. “It’s hard to say right now,” Pacquiao, who has won world titles in an unprecedented eight weight divisions, told AFP in an interview when asked about retirement. “I made my decision already that after this fight I (will) retire. But I am not saying that, you know, boxing is closed to me. You never know.” Pacquiao made the comments when asked if a chance to avenge his crushing loss to American nemesis Mayweather last year would lure him out of retirement. That fight shattered boxing revenue records, generating 4.5 million pay-per-view purchases and $600 million in gross revenue. It capped a phenome- nal rise for Pacquiao, whose journey from street kid to mega-rich athlete is a source of hope and inspiration for tens of millions of poor Filipinos. Until this week, Pacquiao had insisted repeatedly that he was very happy to be giving up the sport to pursue pol- itics and his goal of fighting poverty in the Philippines. Pacquiao, a two-term congressman, is looking to win a Senate seat in May elections, and the official campaign is already underway. Pacquiao spoke at length on Tuesday about his political aspirations-including the prospect of becoming president. And he repeated that, at this point, his intention was to retire from boxing after fighting Bradley for the third time in Las Vegas on April 9. But Pacquiao also indicated he wasn’t sure his retirement would be permanent, twice using the term: “You never know”. ‘PLEASE FORGIVE ME’ He also insisted he remained as physically capable in the ring as a decade ago. “I don’t feel different compared (with) when I was 27, 25,” Pacquiao said. “I am still the same because I discipline myself. Even if I don’t have a fight and I am not in training, I always exercise every day.” Pacquiao aggravated a shoulder injury in the Mayweather bout and underwent surgery five days later. He said Tuesday his shoulder had recovered and he was in “100 percent” condi- tion to take on Bradley. After overseeing training on Monday, long-time American mentor Freddie Roach also said he suspected Pacquiao would be tempted back into the ring if he beats Bradley. “I’ll go along with him right now because he is run- ning for senator,” Roach told AFP, when asked if he believed Pacquiao genuinely intended to retire. “But there’s always that side of me that sees Senator Pacquiao (fight again). Because he likes that, he loves stuff like that,” Roach said. Pacquiao is on track to win one of 12 Senate seats in the elections, according to recent surveys, with his sporting heroics largely responsible for his political popularity. However, success is not guaranteed. Pacquiao has been heavily criticised by some in the Philippines for a dismal attendance record as a congress- man that they argue highlights a lack of political convic- tion. Pacquiao, an evangelical Protestant, also apologised via social media on Tuesday after saying on the campaign trail that homosexuals were “worse than animals”. “It’s common sense. Do you see animals mating with the same sex? Animals are better because they can distinguish male from female,” Pacquiao told television station TV5.

  • Club Rugby - the Heart of the Union

    Club Rugby - the Heart of the Union

    Club Rugby - The Heart of the Union In the professional era, which has been increasingly dominant in the game since the mid 1990’s, one of rugby’s basic tenets has been inevitably undermined. That is the concept that Clubs, both on the field and off as community forces, are the foundation of the game and that their interests should be paramount. A provincial union after all, is essentially a collection of Clubs who are the game’s true owners. To its credit, since its formation in 1985, North Harbour has always striven to give Club rugby, from premier down to the Saturday morning junior grades, the recognition it deserves. And even in recent years, when All Blacks, Super 12/14 players and occasionally provincial representatives, no longer appear regularly for Clubs and for those few at elite level, never at all, that mantra has still applied. A special promotion has always been made of Club finals day. As well as the premier final, plate and pool playoffs have also been held and either as curtain-raisers or on adjacent grounds, the finals have generally held for reserves, under 21 and under 19 grades. With most of the union’s Clubs involved, crowds, firstly at Onewa Domain and since 1997 at Albany, have occasionally approached five to six thousand. There was a slight variation to the programmes in 2009, with the premier grade championship and plate-finals being the only two games played because of the need to fit in with the start of the Air New Zealand Cup. There was still a bumper attendance at Albany and the union, again to its credit and that of the new representative coaches, Craig Dowd and Jeff Wilson, allowed the Clubs full use of their top players.

    Strategic Management in Fiji:- the Case of Fiji Rugby

    Moving towards a Culture of Strategic Management in Fiji:- the case of Fiji Rugby Faculté des sciences de la motricité, Université catholique de Louvain, Belgique MASTER EXECUTIF EN MANAGEMENT DES ORGANISATIONS SPORTIVES EXECUTIVE MASTERS IN SPORTS ORGANISATION MANAGEMENT MEMOS XVII 2013-2014 “Moving towards a Culture of Strategic Management in Fiji: the case of Fiji Rugby” “Vers une culture de Strategie d’Entreprise à Fidji: Étude de cas sur Fiji Rugby” By “Carl Rangituatata Ngamoki-Cameron” © 2014 Tutored by Professor Leigh Robinson Affiliation of Tutor ABSTRACT Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to set out research that aimed to understand how Fiji’s Olympic Sport Organisations (“OSOs”) could move towards a culture of strategic management. Methodology – Quantitative research was carried out on Fiji’s OSOs using the readiness assessment tool developed by Minikin (2009) and qualitative research into the Fiji Rugby Union (“FRU or Fiji Rugby”) that included semi- structured interviews, the review of several documents and participant observations. Findings – The quantitative research on Fiji’s OSOs found that: (1) there is a need for strategic management to improve accountability, transparency and competitiveness; and, (2) governance is of a basic to moderate level of development, however, organisational performance is not being adequately evaluated or monitored, if at all, and that generally the practice of strategic leadership and strategic planning is below the Sport Industry Benchmark. The case study of the FRU found that the FRU Strategic Plan was not fit for its purpose; discussed the vision, values and strategic objectives of the FRU; and, proposed a methodology for revising the FRU Strategic Plan.
