Manny Pacquiao was on TSN's Off The Record this afternoon, and was surprised mid-interview with the sound of Dan Hill's voice—the same Dan Hill who wrote "Sometimes When We Touch," which is a Pacquiao standard by now. Naturally, the two men sang a duet to close the interview. More »

Manny Pacquiao will fight Juan Manuel Marquez for the third time this Saturday. Everyone likes Paquiao in the fight, including other boxers. He's too fast, too powerful, too accurate, too everything. David Diaz fought Pacquiao on June 28, 2008. He got TKO'd in the ninth. Here's Diaz telling Eric Raskin at HBO.com what it's like to go up against the Pac Man: More »

Floyd Mayweather Jr. didn't take too kindly to Sirius radio host Rude Jude's accusation that he's afraid to fight Manny Pacquiao. So Mayweather decided to call Jude's show yesterday, at the urging of 50 Cent, and you can listen to the audio above. Mayweather never directly addresses the issue at hand, choosing instead to maneuver defensively. The conversation degenerates almost immediately, and by the 1:47 mark Mayweather is reduced to counterpunching with this: "I guarantee you you're not black." A flurry of mindless shouting, cursing and insults gets tossed after that. Mayweather eventually hangs up, but not before he says something about "racial profiling" and both sides get in last-second jabs with gay slurs. My scorecard says the whole thing was incredibly stupid. [Larry Brown Sports, via World Star Hip Hop; h/t to Donald B.] More »

Manny Pacquiao is relieved that authorities were quick to respond to a burglary attempt on his $2 million mansion Friday in Los Angeles. "I'm glad the burglary attempt was unsuccessful," said the boxer who was in Manila, thousands of miles away, when the attempt took place past noon yesterday. Pacquiao was filming a commercial when he learned of the news. [The Philippine Star] More »

Floyd Mayweather Jr. may be the best defensive boxer since Pernell Whitaker, but he has a shit-eating grin, a toy punch, and, at least when it comes to Manny Pacquiao, a yellow streak the width of Route 15. Mayweather has been ducking Pacquiao for years, claiming all the while that the Filipino was on steroids (and making some racist and homophobic remarks to boot). Now that Pacquiao has sued Mayweather for defamation, Pretty Boy Floyd is running from a court-ordered deposition. From the Los Angeles Times: More »

We don't really know who Daniel Tosh is, but we are vaguely aware that he has a Comedy Central show called tosh.0 and that a lot of people think that both he and his show are awful.

Manny Pacquiao will fight Shane Mosley in Las Vegas, with the WBO welterweight title on the line, tonight. But is it truly a fight when everybody already knows who is going to win, and when the person who everybody knows is going to lose doesn't betray even a hint of anger toward his foe? More »

Unless you have Showtime or are a boxing fan, you probably haven't noticed much buildup for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Shane Mosley fight this weekend. That probably has something to do with the fact that Shane Mosley is not Floyd Mayweather Jr. or a Mexican. Luckily, some dude has been playing around with a puppet of Pacquiao, a noted balladeer. (It's often the simplest solutions....) More »
