Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Shane Mosley Face Off With Max Kellerman
The Mayweather-Mosley fight is on May 1, 2010 after the initial Pacquiao-Mayweather broke down into flames. And now to prep up the fight, HBO is once again making the 24/7 series for this fight. But before that, the 2 fighters face off with Max Kellermen.
As you will see in the video embedded below, Mayweather is as arrogant as ever as he says that he is the best and that no one can bring him down. While Mosley keeps his cool and shows his respect for Mayweather. Nothing like a doze of trash talk for Mayweather.
Watch out for the 24/7 series to be posted here. For now, just watch the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Shane Mosley Face Off With Max Kellerman video:

Hornets Sting Mavericks on Chris Paul's Comeback Game
The night Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets came back from an injury might have been the night he was not needed the most. The Hornets beat the Mavericks for a 115-99 victory. Marcus Thorton, David West, Morris Peterson and Darren Collison did a very good job in keeping the Dallas team in check.
“We won. I was just happy to get out there on the court,” Paul said. “I wasn’t worrying about scoring or anything like that. I just wanted to try to get the feel back and get the win.”
During Paul's absence, the backup guards, Collison and Thorton, have flourished and grew to become future top-of-the-line guards in the league. But CP3's presence is definitely still welcome.
“It was great having CP out there even though he didn’t play a lot,” Thornton said. “Just having him out there being a floor leader was great. We fed off that."
The team will most probably be conservative with CP3's playing time as they are already out of the playoff race.

Lakers' Bynum Injured Out With Strained Tendon
The Los Angeles Lakers' starting center in Andrew Bynum is out due to a strained tendon. Previous reports of a torn left Achilles' tendon are not true. He strained his tendon early in the third quarter of the defending NBA champions’ win over Minnesota on Friday night.
This is certainly sad news for the Lakers as they try to build momentum going into the playoffs. Last season was a similar story with Bynum who also came from an injury.
“An Achilles’ or a leg injury is something you can’t really stay in great shape with,” Jackson said. “Taking off and landing, all your power moves, are something you’re going to have to adjust.”
Though the injury is not so serious, his team needs him for his size and defense. Leave the offense to Kobe and the other casts and everything should be fine.

If you are subscribed to a cable TV provider which has the HBO channel, then with simple clicks of the remote button, you could be all set for the big fight come Saturday night!
As the granite-chinned Clottey fights the legendary superstar in Pacquiao, make sure to be tuned in by ordering your PPV early. Here is some information I gathered online about the HBO PPV:
- Premiere: Saturday, March 13, 2010
- Time: 9:00 PM (ET)
- Price: $49.99
Watch it live from anywhere, on your computer via free live stream sites like Ustream and JustinTV.
The internet is full of possibilities and that is very true in the realm of live streaming. If you are diligent enough to do your homework, you will be able to watch anything you want online ranging from sports events to TV shows to popular movies.
The two best examples of live streaming sites are Ustream and JustinTV. These sites offer normal people like me the capability to stream my own channel showing anything I want. They are something like Youtube only live. Surely, you would be able to watch the fight there but I doubt the quality would be good.
There is another live streaming way though which brings me to the next point.
Watch it live from anywhere, on your computer via P2P live streaming software like Sopcast.
Another way of watching the fight online via live stream is by utilizing P2P software like Sopcast. As implied, you would need to install the software first before being able to use it. But do not worry, Sopcast is free!
If you are familiar with torrent downloads, then you would not have a hard time understanding the concept of this software. But for the benefit of those that don't, let us just say that as more and more people watch the same channel in Sopcast, the better the quality of the channel becomes! Thus, if you decide to watch the fight using this method, make sure to invite your friends to watch the same channel. There is nothing to worry though with regards to this fight. Many people will watch it thus guaranteeing the good quality of the channel sponsoring the live stream.
[Available to Philippine PLDT myDSL subscribers only] Watch it live from anywhere, on PLDT Watchpad.
If you are a PLDT myDSL subscriber with plans 1299 and up, then you have the opportunity of watching it via their site. But before you can go on watching it you need to be:
- A registered user of the Watchpad website.
- A confirmed availer of the service before March 11.
[Available in the Philippine SmartBro subscribers only] Watch it live from anywhere, on MySandBox.
Just like the PLDT live streaming service, you would need to be a registered member of the MySandBox website. Rather than explaining on how to avail of the service, here is the detailed instructions per MySandBox:
- This special live streaming of "Pacquiao-Clottey: The Event" is offered only to SmartBro subscribers -- Postpaid (canopy), PlugIt or ShareIt - and are registered Sandbox members.

- As an alternative option, SmartGold and Buddy subscribers can get the live streaming via 3G on their mobile phones. Visit http://m.smart.com.ph/pacman. P20 content fee plus P15 every 30-minutes.
Watch the replay on regular TV.
This is one is pretty obvious. To further milk the boxing event even after the fight is finished, local TV channels will show a replay of the fight in exchange for countless commercials. Thus, if you were not able to watch it live, you can still watch it afterwards.
Watch the replay on the internet.
Just like the TV replay, you can watch the replay online in exchange for countless web advertisements. This could be in the form of pay-per-click ads or surveys that you would need to fill up to watch the replay for free.
A day or a few hours before the fight, I will be updating this post to add more information on where and how to watch the said fight online. I could post JustinTV or Ustream channels and also SopCast channels so stay tuned and bookmark this post.
So who will win the fight? I do not know. Every time I predict that an upcoming fight would be the fight the Pacman loses, he wins. I guess this legendary fighter is a tough one to beat.
In any case, do not miss the Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey fight. This could be Pacquiao's last fight or one of his last.
UPDATE:
[Instructions deleted]
Manny Pacquiao won by unanimous decision. It was a boring fight due to Clottey's passive play but a good fight for Manny Pacquiao nonetheless.
