TV analyst Pacquiao to scout would-be opponent
April 27, 2010 18:59:16
Manny Pacquiao will try to scout his would-be next opponent when the Filipino boxing icon joins the television panel for the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Sugar Shane Mosley bout on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
Pacquiao will share his insights as the third analyst for the WHO R U PICKING? megafight, which will be simultaneously aired at GMA-7 and Solar TV at 1 a.m., alongside renowned sports commentator Quinito Henson and sports broadcaster Chino Trinidad of GMA-7.
This was announced during the press launching of the WHO R U PICKING? Mayweather-Mosley bout at the New World Renaissance Hotel in Makati.
Mosley or Mayweather could become the reigning pound-for-pound king's next opponent in another expected multi-million dollar showdown.
Only last March, the expected megafight between the pride of General Santos City and the outspoken Mayweather collapsed after the American's camp demanded that Pacquiao undergo Olympic-style drug testing.
Pacquiao's camp refused the proposed dope testing and the Mayweathers, despite getting clearance from the Nevada Athletic Commission that the Filipino is drug free, pulled out of the negotiating table.
The renowned People's Champion found himself facing Joshua Clottey, who is a defensive-minded Ghanian fighter who refused to go head-to-head with Pacquiao.
Pacquiao will get a chance to see first hand the styles of both fighters who wanted to face him inside the ring for for pride and big money.
The Mayweather-Mosley bout is expected to be a rapid-chess match as both are thinking fighters who always wait for every opportunity to strike. Both fighters also rely on their speed.
