nope. they're going to do "road to dallas" a 1 episode build up one week before the fight. The more I think about it that makes sense, I love 24/7 but this is not a mega fight and both fighters are not the most outspoken guys. Mosley-Mayweather is 24/7 material imo, not Pac-Clottey.

Good point. Any Mayweather fight is probably going to be 24/7 at this point.

Yea,

everyone had an excuse and thought Ali was at his best only when they fought him. I was surprised to see Frazier talking good about Ali after what he said in the HBO special on the thrilla in manilla.

Yankees clear date for Foreman-Cotto
Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Boxing is one step closer to returning to Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees said Friday that they've reached an accommodation with a family that scheduled a bar mitzvah for June 5, clearing the way for a proposed fight between junior middleweight champ Yuri Foreman and Miguel Cotto at the opulent ballpark.

The bar mitzvah is for Scott Ballan, the son of the lead bond lawyer for the financing of Yankee Stadium. It wasn't clear what accommodations were made.

Bob Arum has been trying to bring another fight to Yankee Stadium for years. He promoted the last one at the old ballpark in 1976, when Muhammad Ali fought Ken Norton against the backdrop of a police strike.

The Foreman-Cotto fight has not been finalized, but both sides have said they want the fight.

Bradley reaches agreement with HBO
By Dan Rafael
ESPN.com

GRAPEVINE, Texas -- Junior welterweight titlist Timothy Bradley Jr., the No. 1-rated 140-pounder in the world since pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao's exit from the division, has been fighting on Showtime while rival HBO has been putting together fight after fight between all of his most significant potential opponents.

That left Bradley on the outside looking in at the big matches in his division -- until Thursday, when HBO reached an agreement with Gary Shaw, Bradley's co-promoter with Thompson Boxing, to bring him to the network, Cameron Dunkin, Bradley's manager, told ESPN.com.

Bradley's HBO debut will come June 26 on "Boxing After Dark" in a nontitle bout over the 140-pound division limit against welterweight brawler Luis Carlos Abregu (29-0, 23 KOs), who has been approved by the network. The fight will likely take place at the Agua Caliente resort in Rancho Mirage, Calif., just a few miles from Bradley's hometown of Palm Springs and where he has had his last two fights.

"Tim wants to fight the best 140-pounders in the world -- Amir Khan, Devon Alexander, [Marcos] Maidana, you name it," Dunkin said at the Gaylord Texan hotel, the fight headquarters for Saturday's Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey fight at Cowboys Stadium in nearby Arlington. "Hopefully, this is the start of getting those big fights."

It is, as long as he wins. HBO's intention is to put Bradley squarely into the mix of major fights at junior welterweight, where it has what amounts to an informal tournament going on.

Last week, HBO aired an Alexander fight for the first time and he scored a sensational eighth-round knockout of Juan Urango in a title unification bout, and it has plans to air Alexander's next fight, a possible showdown with Zab Judah this summer.

HBO also has three other important bouts in the division already on its schedule: March 27, when Maidana defends his interim belt against hot contender Victor Cayo and May 15, when Khan defends his belt against former titleholder Paulie Malignaggi with Victor Ortiz facing Nate Campbell in the co-feature. HBO is also talking with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum about a summer junior welterweight bout between undefeated former lightweight titlist Edwin Valero, who is moving up in weight, and Lamont Peterson.

Now, with Bradley (25-0, 11 KOs) in the mix, HBO hopes a series of bouts can eventually crown a top dog at 140 pounds.

Dunkin said Bradley's title won't be at stake against Abregu because a top opponent was not available for the date, so he'll face Argentina native Abregu, who has also fought on Showtime, including his 10-round decision win against Richard Gutierrez in a slugfest last month.

"He's a really strong guy with a good chin and he's bigger than Tim. He's physical and puts on great fights," Dunkin said of the 27-year-old Abregu.

Said Sean Gibbons, Abregu's agent, "It's a great opportunity for Abregu to be on HBO. He's a bigger, stronger guy than Bradley and he's got nothing to lose by taking the fight. We can't wait."

Bradley, 26, outpointed England's Junior Witter to win a title in 2008. He unified two belts last April by surviving two knockdowns to win a unanimous decision against Kendall Holt, but was forced to vacate one of the belts.

In his most recent fight, Bradley scored a near-shutout of previously undefeated mandatory challenger Peterson in December.

Bradley had appeared numerous times on Showtime, including in his last five fights. However, Dunkin said the network did not have a contract with him, which allowed Shaw to make the deal with HBO.

"Timmy did not sign a thing with Showtime," Dunkin said. "He certainly appreciates what they have done for him and he loves Showtime, but he has to take this opportunity."

About time he left showtime.

Top Rankגs top dog Bob Arum and, one of boxingגs best trainers, Freddie Roach have both recently come out with their list of 3 potential fighters that Pacquiao could fight in November in the likely case that a fight between Manny and the "drug crusading" Floyd Mayweather Jr doesn't come to fruition.

Fortunately, both Arum and Roach agree that Pacquiaoגs November fight will be from the following list of potential opponents: Edwin Valero, Antonio Margarito, or Juan Manuel Marquez. Letגs examine these potential match-ups.

"Thereגs (Antonio) Margarito, (Edwin) Valero, or (Juan Manuel) Marquez,ג Bob Arum, Manila Bulletin

גValero, Marquez, or Margarito,ג Freddie Roach, Manila Bulletin

Margarito

Bob Arum has been throwing out Margaritoגs name as an opponent for Manny ever since Margaritoגs year long suspension was up. And ever since then, I have disagreed with this fight. I donגt think Margarito does anything for Mannyגs career. In fact, this fight will only really help Antonio by receiving a huge payday.

Valero

Manny vs. the undefeated Valero will draw some big excitement that could provide for a nice alternative should Manny not fight Mayweather or Mosley. Valero could provide a return of action that Clottey was unable to produce.

גIגve been watching him a little bit. I know heגs a big puncher. Heגs a southpaw and does pose some difficulties. Heגs better than just a guy who could punch but I think thatגs the best marketable fight out there for us.ג Freddie Roach, The News Chronicle

Marquez

These two have previously fought before with very close outcomes. Their first fight in 2004 ended in a draw and Manny won a split decision in 2007 for their second fight. Juan still thinks that he can beat Manny. Mayweather Jr has even gone on record contesting Mannyגs ability to fight Marquez. Many fans and Freddie Roach would love to see Pacquiao knock out Marquez once and for all.

גPersonally, thatגs the fight I want. Nacho [Beristain] is a good trainer and weגre competitive, and Iגd love for Manny to knock him [Marquez] out,ג Freddie Roach, The News Chronicle

fuck bob arum. he cashing in on his own fighters and looking to fuck the public out of seeing the fights that we want.
