Manny Pacquiao, a congressman in the Philippines, chose from Juan Manuel Marquez, Andre Berto, and Shane Mosley in December for his next opponent. Pacquiao finally settled for Shane Mosley because he believes that the American professional boxer is the most famous among the three and can give good income to the both of them and the promoters.
Shane Mosley and Manny Pacquiao both respect each other. They are educated boxers who know how to promote a fight without trash-talking or throwing mud to each other. Manny Pacquiao has always been this way. Even when he already got the limelight of the sport, he remains humble and god-fearing. He prays in the ring corner before and after the fight. Shane Mosley, who is an educated person, likes how Pacquiao treats him and share the same humbleness Manny gave to him. Even if he knows Pacquiao will be his opponent this May 7 for the WBO Welterweight Belt, he doesn’t sling mud at him.
The Mosley vs Pacquiao promotional tour has ended. Media people and casual boxing fans liked the way both boxers showed respect to each other. In a sport that has its dark-side, boxing, has always been looked upon as brutal. Promoting the fight will always include trash-talking, teasing, annoying and mocking the opponent – well, that was before. Now that the Pacquiao-Mosley promotion has done it on opposite style, boxing fans believed that the next big fights will no longer include the bad part of the sport. Let the boxers show it in the ring rather than bad-mouthing his opponent outside the ring.
Pacquiao vs Mosley live streaming is available via Showtime PPV. Showtime is a sister company of CBS which can reach up to 116 million homes. The Live Streaming Pay-Per-View can be bought at $54.95 through Showtime’s website.
