BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Manny Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley Jr. both realize almost every boxing fan wishes Floyd Mayweather Jr. had been standing next to Pacquiao at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Tuesday.

But when Pacquiao and Mayweather failed to make a deal for the fight everybody wants to see, Pacquiao moved down the list of contenders to make a fight he hopes his fans will enjoy.
 
Pacquiao and Bradley are getting an early start on the promotional circuit for their welterweight bout June 9 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas. Even while the Filipino congressman and his unbeaten opponent posed for photos and praised each other in the pe

Bernd Boente, the manager of WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (44-2, 40 KOs), does not expect a possible fight with David Haye (25-2, 23 KOs) to come off in the fall.

Boente disputes the recent comments that were made by Haye and his manager, Adam Booth. Both of them are blaming Klitschko and Boente for breaking off the negotiations.

According to Boente, the two sides are too far apart on the money. Haye and Booth are not only demanding a "huge financial guarantee" - they are also demanding 50% of the British pay-per-view revenue.

Because of Haye

THE post-fight thuggery that shamed boxing completely overshadowed one of Vitali Klitschko’s toughest fights.

Make no mistake, Dereck Chisora refused to buckle and made the WBC heavyweight champion fight all the way through for his points victory.

The fight, of course, has been overtaken by the brawl involving Chisora and former WBA world champion David Haye in the post-fight press conference.

The disgraceful scenes have dragged boxing to an all-time low after a pre-fight build-up also full of controvers

Ishe parts with yet another promoter, go figure.

Former middleweight champion Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik has made plenty of changes in the last year. The most notable was leaving former long time trainer Jack Lowe and moving across the country to Robert Garcia’s Boxing Academy in Oxnard, CA.

Team Klitschko: The Haye Fight is Off, We Are Moving On!

Bernd Boente, manager of WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40KOs), has denied circulated reports that he offered David Haye (25-2, 23KOs) additional time to accept an offer to fight his boxer in the summer.

The problem, as previously reported, is money. Haye is requesting a "huge guarantee" to fight Vitali, but Boente believes there is too much financial risk to meet that number - because the British public is still steaming over Haye's in-ring performance with younger brother Wladimir Klitschko from last July. Even Haye admits his performance against Wlad
