For Pacquiao and Cotto, More Than Just a Title Is on the Line



Throughout the promotion leading up to Saturday night's mega-fight between challenger Manny Pacquiao and his champion fighter Miguel Cotto, trainer Joe Santiago's reputation has taken a verbal beating from his counterpart, Freddie Roach.

A Hall of Fame cornerman whose hopes to guide Pacquiao to an unprecedented, seventh world title in a different weight class, Roach has taken shots at Santiago's relative inexperience.

But during Wednesday's press conference at the Hollywood Theatre at the MGM Grand Hotel where Saturday night's clash will be held, Santiago stepped up to the podium and carried himself the same way that he has throughout the fight's buildup.

With a confidence, a calm demeanor, a calculated speech and, ultimately, control.

George Foreman's KO Defies His Age

George Foreman was 28 fights into his comeback from a 10-year absence from the ring, had won 27 times, stopped 25 of his opponents, and failed during his first attempt at winning a heavyweight title.

But Foreman wasn't going to blow his second chance at world championship glory, when he faced southpaw Michael Moorer.

This time, the 45-year-old grandfather and father of nine was ready.

Foreman, 60, talks about his historic accomplishment as well as life after boxing during this, the fourth and final installment of a four-part series detailing how he became boxing's oldest man to win a division's crown.

Fernando Montiel's 118-pound WBO Crown on Line in Tourney

Fernando Montiel will defend his WBO bantamweight title against Z Gorres, and Eric Morel will take on Gerry Penalos on Feb. 13 at the Las Vegas Hilton, promoter Bob Arum told FanHouse on Friday.

"After that, the winners will fight the winners in June," Arum said of the clash of 118-pounders. "It's like a tournament."

Floyd Mayweather: 'Bob Arum Is a Very Old, Grumpy Man'



Boxing promoter Bob Arum scoffed at Floyd Mayweather Jr in an interview with FanHouse's Ariel Helwani last week, saying, "He's just a problem and a head case." In a chat with FanHouse this week, Mayweather claimed he hadn't heard those comments -- and then proceeded to respond to them anyway.

Bob Arum Blasts Floyd Mayweather, MMA

Top Rank founder Bob Arum has never been one to keep his opinions to himself, and when FanHouse caught up with him at the Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto press conference at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, he was in rare form.

The 77-year-old boxing promoter criticized Floyd Mayweather for fighting "scared" and not being an entertaining fighter. Arum also seemed to squash any hopes of seeing a Mayweather-Pacquaio super-fight in the future. But his harshest words were saved for MMA, as Arum said the sport looks like "guys rolling around like homosexuals on the ground" and called MMA fans "a bunch of skinhead white guys." The full video interview is below.
