ALLAN THE MAN

Former Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) star Ramon Fernandez sees nothing wrong with Manny Pacquiao trying his hand at coaching in Asia’s first play-for-pay hoops league.

Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao recently signed a contract extension with Bob Arum’s Top Rank promotion that made an already unlikely fight with Floyd Mayweather even more improbable.

The undefeated Mayweather refuses to do business with Pacquiao as long as he is promoted by Arum, and the extension keeps the Filipino southpaw in the promoter’s fold until 2016, possibly until the end of his career.

“Maraming mga dahilan naman yun eh (He always has an excuse),” Pacquiao told reporters at the launch of “Safe Steps,” a disaster preparedness initiative headed by Prudence Foundation and National Geographic on Thursday at the Mariott Hotel Manila.

Manny Pacquiao assured fight fans that he will try to avoid injuries in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) while serving as playing-coach for expansion team KIA Motors.

Joining the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) would be a bad move for the country’s most popular sportsman.

Boxing champion Manny Pacquiao is excited to work with fellow sports legend Robert “Sonny” Jaworski, whom he would like to get as coaching consultant for PBA expansion team KIA Motors.

Filipino fight icon Manny Pacquiao is raring to take on a new challenge in the sporting world, eyeing a stint with expansion team Kia in the PBA.

The WBO world welterweight champion has declared that he will be playing coach for the incoming PBA club, and he’s looking forward to proving his worth.

“Siguro nabigyan ng break at naipakita ang talent natin sa pag-ba-basketball at pag-ko-coach,” said Pacquiao.

While he has not had any high-level experience in playing and coaching basketball, Pacquiao pointed to his stint in owning and playing for his semi-pro team — the MP GenSan Warriors — as qualification for joining the PBA.

It looks like nothing is stopping boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao from fulfilling his PBA dream.

After a decisive victory over Timothy Bradley on Sunday, Filipino fight icon Manny Pacquiao did more than just regain the WBO welterweight title he lost to the American fighter two years ago.
“I proved tonight that my journey in boxing will continue,” said Pacquiao, who left little doubt with a masterful unanimous decision victory.

“Thank God for the victory.”

HBO's "24/7" returns, this time covering the April 12 (April 13 in Manila) PPV rematch between top welterweights Manny Pacquiao (55-5, 38 KO) and Timothy Bradley (31-0, 12 KO), who first met in 2012. On June 9 of that year, Bradley won a shocking and highly controversial split decision.

Manny Pacquiao is open to taking Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s call and he even showed he has the telephone to prove it.
During his appearance on FOX 1’s “Crowd Goes Wild”, Pacquiao took a jab at Mayweather for consistently refusing the mega bout.

Has Manny Pacquiao settled his tax issues with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)? If you ask BIR chief Kim Henares, the fighting congressman's obligations remain unsettled even after their recent meeting.

A politician close to Pacquiao supposedly arranged the meeting between the fighting congressman and Henares.

Filipino champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao laments the lost chance to make history in his chosen sport after effectively giving up on a potential mega-fight against unbeaten American Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Pacquiao recently told his fans and supporters to forget a fight against Mayweather – at least for the meantime – since the American continues to insist that the mega-fight can only be made on his terms.

It seems Filipino boxing champ Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is ready to give up hopes that a potential super fight with pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. can still happen, telling his fans and supporters to forget about it.

Speaking on SCOOP Sa Kamayan On Air, Pacquiao lamented about the numerous conditions set by Mayweather for their fight.

THE fighter they call the 'Russian Rocky' aims to lock horns with his old sparring partner Manny Pacquiao in April. Ruslan Provodnikov has had a storming rise through the rankings and claimed the WBO light welterweight title in October.

He beat Mike Alvarado in Colorado and is now hoping to challenge eight division world champion Pacquiao.

Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao said it would be impossible for him to give in to Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s demand for him to leave Top Rank and seal a deal for their proposed superfight.

“Floyd has also been saying, he will only fight me if I separate from Top Rank and Bob Arum, imposible ‘yun kasi ang kontrata ko valid hanggang ngayong taon na ito pa. So how ? (That’s impossible because my contract is still valid this year)” Pacquiao said in an interview with Philboxing’s Eddie Alinea.
