Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao – it’s OFF!

As of right now, the fight that was tentatively scheduled to take place between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is not happening, and promotional organizations involved with the two fighters were already looking for other opponents to fight.

Roy Jones Jr headlines Hook City card this weekend

Naturally, any card headlined by Roy Jones Jr. is going to be noteworthy. The living legend has held world titles in four different weight classes, and although he is now 40 years old, is still one of the top five light heavyweights on the planet.

That’s right, in today’s boxing betting world, we have full champions, regular champions, super champions, interim champions. And while anointing a fighter the full champion does give legitimacy to the division, as no other champion exists, in the case of the WBA, those who follow boxing odds have more than enough to argue about.
