Boxing News: Pacquiao-Mundine Update » July 10, 2023 – Fight News
By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing
The Papua New Guinea Sports Foundation has put its full support behind the proposed exhibition bout between boxing legend Manny Pacquiao and former world champion Anthony Mundine, tentatively scheduled for June.
Executive Director of the PNGSF Al Veratau told the National newspaper, “The Papua New Guinea Sports Foundation is partnering with the Oceana Fight Promotions to make sure we deliver the Manny Pacquiao-Anthony Mundine exhibition bout in Port Moresby. We’ve asked the Government to invoke the National Events Council to assist because it is a huge event in the 2023 sports calendar.”
Australian advisor Peter Maniatis added, “This will be the biggest global sporting event in the history of Papua New Guinea. Well done to the PNG Government and Maryanne Millie Oceania Fight Promotions.”
Awesome. Hope it comes off and they both get paid
Pacquiao you need f…. money retired before is too late,
Jose, if you could make millions for an exhibition you’d fight too. Let him get his money.
No seas “pendeja” Jose, tu harías lo ,mismo, tonta!
“No seas “pendeja” Jose, tu harías lo ,mismo, tonta!”
Translation per Google:
– “Don’t be “asshole” Jose, you would do the same, silly!”
– Although I thought that “pendeja” (note that it is a feminine word), meant “jerk-off”.
Why is Manny getting involved with this?
Collin, because it’s easy money, at this point Manny is just stacking cheese.
Will they let Mundine bring his wheelchair into the ring?
Have zero interest in this exhibition bout.
Copycat fight #2
Pacqaio, like De La Hoya is obsessed with Mayweather. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see a Mayweather/Pac exhibition or even a Mayweather De La Hoya exhibition down the line.
May as well make it a official match
Exactly! What’s this exhibition crap? Both guys have been active pretty recently so just make it an 8 round main event ala Jake Paul and spend some money on a decent undercard.
This is sad if pac needs to do it for money.
but if he is doing it because he just enjoys being in the ring, then go rumble young man rumble.
Sparring session will be a big event?
I thought old “canvas back” Mundine had been retired.
I would assume Anthony would be expecting a couple of million. I can’t believe he can still fool people that he has still got competitive boxing skills. I have heard him speak and saw his last few fights. I believe boxing has damaged his health. This fight seems absurd.
Good luck to both of them if they get paid but it is a joke.
I know this is left field but, indirectly, will the Australian taxpayer fund this? “The Papua New Guinea Sports Foundation” – is that some organisation funded by the PNG government? A government who are corrupt, broke and rely on Australian government handouts?
IMO Manny will want, at a minimum, A$10 million. Mundine $A2 million.
This will actually be an exciting exhibition in my opinion. I expect some sharp shots with bad intentions from both sides. Let’s go Pacquiao!
The double-standards being displayed on here is hilarious. Look at folks coming to Manny’s aid on here for doing an exhibition, ya know the thing that he and his cult criticized “you know who” for taking part in. Shit is hilarious.

Conor Benn made a successful return to the ring following a 17-month layoff by defeating Rodolfo Orozco via unanimous decision Saturday night in Orlando, Florida, and live on DAZN.
With the victory, "The Destroyer" has plenty of options for a next fight, with a short turnaround for December being the targeted timeframe.
That being said, DAZN put together this short list of possible opponents for the undefeated junior middleweight, who's also comfortable fighting at 147 and 160 pounds.
Despite Benn coasting to a unanimous decision victory over Orozco on Saturday night, Chris Eubank Jr. wasn't exactly impressed with "The Destroyer's" performance.
Eubank took to his X account and posted yawning and sleeping emojis:
Benn caught wind of Eubank's post and responded:
Plus, December in London sounds like a great fit with both British boxers essentially being on the same schedule, as Eubank just defeated Liam Smith in their rematch earlier this month.
With Jermell Charlo set to fight Canelo Alvarez on Saturday night and Terence Crawford expressing interest in fighting the winner of that bout, Tim Tszyu could be looking at a wait to fight the junior middleweight ruler in Charlo as he has been coveting to do.
Well, such a scenario could create the need for a big-name opponent to be booked against Tszyu and Benn would fit that bill. Both Tszyu (23-0, 17 KOs) and Benn (21-0, 14 KOs) are undefeated and ultra physical in their styles, making their possible in-ring pairing all the more mouthwatering.
It might be a longshot to land, but Benn has called out the winner of the upcoming Terence Crawford-Errol Spence Jr. rematch for a fight.
Complications to making this happen would be the winner moving on to an even bigger fight with more money at stake.
But for whatever it's worth, Benn did tell Fight Hub TV that he's more than willing to come to the United States and fight the Crawford-Spence 2 winner.

In a lightweight special feature, 19-year-old southpaw Abdullah Mason (9-0, 8 KOs) impressively knocked out Alex de Oliveira (20-5, 14 KOs) in the second round. Time was 2:18.
Unbeaten junior wlterweight Tiger Johnson (9-0, 5 KOs) defeated Jonathan Montrel (15-2, 10 KOs) by UD (80-72, 80-72, 80-72) over eight rounds.
Dante Benjamin Jr. (7-0, 5 KOs) exploded out of the gate to score a knockdown, then get a stoppage right after his opponent, Mirady Zola got up. The light heavyweight contest ended with the TKO at the 1:56 mark of the first round. The loss drops Zola to (4-3, 1 KO).
Super middleweight DeAndre Ware (16-4-2, 9 KOs) won by six round unanimous decision (58-56, 59-55, 59-55) over Decarlo Perez (19-9-1, 6 KOs).
Rance Ward touched leather to the face of fellow junior middleweight Husam Al Mashhadi, often, over six rounds. Ward appeared fresh and was able to walk Mashhadi down during the six rounds to take the majority decision (57-57, 58-56, 59-55) victory and improve to (8-5-1, 2 KOs). Meanwhile, it’s back to the drawing board for Mashhadi (6-1, 6 KOs), who suffered his first loss.
Junior Middleweight Nicklaus Flaz (11-2, 7 KOs) won a close fight by majority decision (76-76, 78-74, 77-75) over previously unbeaten Jahi Tucker (10-1, 5 KOs). The fight, which went all eight rounds, had moments where both fighters showed some ability to throw combinations.
Junior Lightweight Tyler McCreary (18-2-1, 8KOs) got the hometown crowd excited by landing strong left hooks to the body, left hooks to the head, and a strong right cross to his opponent, Deivi Julio (26-14, 16 KOs). Julio, who fought hard, did not have enough to sway the judges. The judges all saw the fight in favor of McCreary (59-54, 57-56, 57-56).
Why isnt this garbage on TV anywhere??
It’s on ESPN+
de Oliveira was embarrassing. Just stood there smiling and waiting to be hit. The ref literally had to tell him to fight back in round 1.
As boxing fans we’re all used to shocking mismatches… but ESPN take it to a new level.
I will keep an eye on Mason and see what develops for him.
