Pacquiao-Mosley, 16,000 sold in three hours on released date
The Pacquiao-Mosley boxing bout sold 16,000 tickets in the three hours when first released to the public on January 31 2011
The Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley boxing bout will take place on on May 7 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand for the WBO welterweigth title. Arum says Pacquiao chose the bout because Mosley is the most accomplished and famous boxer in the field of candidates, which included Juan Manuel Marquez and welterweight champion Andre Berto.
“He’s the most recognizable name, and it’s a difficult fight for him,” said Arum, who met with Pacquiao in the Philippines last week. “People are also saying, ‘Well, why hasn’t he fought an African-American fighter?’ He’s doing that, but mostly it’s because Mosley is the biggest name.”
The Pacquiao-Mostley boxing match is one of the biggest ticket runs in Las Vegas boxing history. On January 31 2011 when the tickets were released to the public between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. PT, 16,000 tickets were sold to the Manny Pacquiao vs. Sugar Shane Mosley world welterweight championship. Barely 1,000 seats remain for Pacquiao’s return to the Fight Capital of the World, where he hasn’t fought since 2009.
“Incredible. Simply incredible,” exclaimed Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum when he heard the news today. “I have never promoted a fight that has sold so many tickets so quickly. Manny Pacquiao never ceases to amaze the world with his achievements. The excitement he generated today with the initial ticket sales makes it feel like fight week already!”
Boxing’s No. 1 pound-for-pound box office attraction and the Fighter of the Decade, Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KOs), the lone congressional representative from the Sarangani province in the Philippines, defends his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title against three-division world champion and future Hall of Famer Mosley (46-6-1, 39 KOs), of Pomona, Calif. Pacquiao vs. Mosley erupts on Saturday, May 7 at MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nev.

Manny Pacquiao or Sergio Martinez for Boxer of Year?
Opinion by Ian Palmer
When the New Year rolls around it’s always the time most sports awards are handed out by various media publications.
When it comes to boxer of the year, it’s basically a tossup between 32-year-old Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs) of the Philippines and 35-year-old Sergio Martinez (46-2-2, 25 KOs) of Argentina.
A strong case can be made for each of them -- even though they only fought twice apiece in 2010.
Sergio Martinez
To casual boxing fans, Martinez basically appeared on the scene out of nowhere in December of 2009 when he lost a controversial 12-round majority decision to American Paul Williams (39-2, 27 KOs) in an exciting middleweight bout.
However, serious fans might have also caught several of his fights earlier in his career, including a draw with Kermit Cintron, a TKO loss against Antonio Margarito, and wins against the likes of Alex Bunema and Archak TerMeliksetian. The fight against Williams was a definite step up in class for Martinez and he handled himself exceptionally well on the televised fight.
Martinez traveled to Atlantic City on Apr. 17, 2010 to take on 28-year-old American Kelly Pavlik (36-2, 32 KOs), who was the reigning WBC and WBO Middleweight Champion. The outcome was never really in doubt after the first few rounds, and Martinez took Pavlik’s belts by a unanimous decision, with scores of 115-111, 116-111, and 115-112.
He returned to Atlantic City on Nov. 20 to take on the 29-year-old Williams again in a much-anticipated rematch and put his WBC Middleweight Title on the line, even though the bout was fought at a catch weight of 158 lbs. Most fans were hoping for a repeat of their first bout, but what they got instead was a sensational knockout when, during the second round, Martinez landed one of the best left hooks in boxing history. The fight was over in just four minutes and 10 seconds.
While the knockout itself was a thing of beauty it lacked drama because it came so early in the fight. This wasn’t Martinez’s fault, of course, but it wasn’t as spine-tingling as Sugar Ray Leonard’s 1981 KO over Tommy Hearns in their first fight or Muhammad Ali’s when he knocked out George Foreman to regain the heavyweight crown in 1974.
Martinez had an excellent year and has turned into one of the world’s most respected boxers. Not bad for a 35-year-old guy who didn’t start boxing until he was 20.
Manny Pacquiao
Pacquiao also had a great year, both in and out of the ring. He was elected to congress in his homeland and attracted 90,000 fans to his two fights at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
The first fight against Joshua Clottey (35-4, 20 KOs) of Ghana, which took place on March 13, was a letdown right from the get go. This is probably because of the choice of opponent. Everybody was hoping for a showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr. but had to settle for Clottey. While Clottey’s a good fighter, he was coming off a split decision loss to Miguel Cotto nine months earlier. Pacquiao didn’t have any problems with the African and won a decisive, unanimous decision by scores of 119-109, 119-109, and 120-108 to retain his WBO Welterweight Championship.
Pacquiao returned to Dallas on Nov. 13 to try and win an eighth world title in eight different weight divisions when he took on 32-year-old Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KOs) of Mexico for the vacant WBC Jr. Middleweight Championship.
Again, some people were disappointed at the choice of opponent, but negotiations with Mayweather broke down earlier in the year. Margarito entered the ring with advantages in just about all size and weight categories, but Pacquiao picked him apart over 12 entertaining rounds to win his historic eighth championship.
It was a good fight, which Pacquiao might have won by stoppage if he wanted to and the scores of 119-109, 120-108, and 118-110 were fully deserved. In his two fights Pacquiao showed his dominance by winning every round on the scorecards
of two judges, losing just one round on three judges’ cards and two rounds on the cards of the sixth judge.
Both Martinez and Pacquiao entertained fans across the world in 2010 and gave them their money’s worth. But if you could only pick one of them as fighter of the year I’d simply flip a coin and hope they can both keep it up in 2011.
