Pacquiao Wants WBO To Investigate, WBO is Not Interested
Former world champion Manny Pacquiao on Wednesday urged the World Boxing Organization (WBO) to review the "unfair decision and officiating" after losing his welterweight title to Australia's Jeff Horn.
Pacquiao endorsed a formal call by the Philippines' Games and Amusement Board for the WBO to review the outcome of Sunday's fight in Brisbane.
"I love boxing and I don't wanna see it dying because of unfair decision and officiating," Pacquiao, 38, said in a statement issued by his office.
"I had already accepted the decision but as a leader and, at the same time, fighter I have the moral obligation to uphold sportsmanship, truth and fairness in the eyes of the public," said Pacquiao, also a sitting senator.
In the twilight of a 22-year pro career in which he won world titles in an unprecedented eight weight divisions, Pacquiao had initially called for a rematch, but later said he would also "think hard" about retiring.
Widely written off by observers, Horn, 29, shocked Pacquiao with his ultra-aggressiveness to earn a unanimous 12-round decision.
A day after the bout, the Philippines' sports regulatory body wrote the WBO calling for a "thorough review" on the decisions of American referee Mark Nelson and the judges.
"We are making this request for a review, which may call for sanctions on the referee and judges if so warranted, in furtherance of our mutual goal of protecting the integrity of the sport," the board wrote.
Pacquiao attached a copy of the letter to his own statement.
"WBO should take appropriate action on the letter sent by the Games and Amusement Board so as not to erode the people's interest in boxing," Pacquiao said.
The WBO responded to the controversy with an official statement on the matter .
"The discretion of a referee or judge cannot be reversed, except in a case of fraud or violation of laws which is not the case in Pacquiao vs Horn," the WBO said.
"The contract for Pacquiao vs Horn provides a rematch clause, which the WBO is in accordance (with) if the promoters decide to move forward."
While saying he respected the fight outcome, Pacquiao had questioned the referee's decisions and made disparaging comments about Horn.
"He's not really good but he's really strong," Pacquiao said of Horn on Monday, while the Filipino's camp criticised the referee for supposedly allowing the undefeated Australian to get away with a host of illegal tactics.
"The problem here is that the referee, I don't know if he did it deliberately or he just did not have experience, he just allowed it and did not even give any warning for how many times," Pacquiao said. "It's as if the referee wanted to help my opponent."

Horn Should Make His Next Fight in United States, Says Agent
WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn has been urged to fight in the United States by a top Australian agent.
This past Saturday night, Horn captured the World Boxing Organization welterweight title with a twelve round unanimous decision over eight division king Manny Pacquiao.
A crowd of over 51,000 went wild when the local man was announced as the winner at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia
Pacquiao, 38, may exercise an immediate rematch clause, but he doesn't want to face Horn again in Australia. He would like the fight to take place in the Philippines or on neutral ground, like Las Vegas.
Pacquiao, who is also a senator in the Philippines, regained the welterweight world title belt he lost to Mayweather when he knocked Jesse Vargas down in the second round and cruised to a unanimous decision in November.
He decided to make make his first defence against Horn after a big-money fight with British star Amir Khan in the United Arab Emirates fell through earlier this year.
Australian celebrity agent Max Markson believes Horn can become an even bigger star is he begins crossing the ocean to fight in America. Pacquiao was a hit his home country, but became a superstar when he started campaigning on U.S. soil.
"He'll pick up money outside of the ring, he will get sponsorship, but it won't be anything like the money that is attracted for the pay-per-views in America," Max Marston told 9news.com.
"He's got to go fight in America and if he does that, he fights big names and he wins, the world is his oyster."
If a rematch with Pacquiao fall through, Horn has also mentioned the possibility of unifications with IBF champion Errol Spence and WBA champion Keith Thurman - both of them are based in America. And he also targeted the biggest prize of all, a showdown with the comebacking Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Ward-Kovalev Rematch: Paid Attendance Was Only 6,366
By Keith Idec
Roughly 40 percent of the fans that attended the Andre Ward-Sergey Kovalev rematch June 17 didn’t pay for their tickets.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission revealed to Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports on Wednesday that the paid attendance for the second bout between Ward and Kovalev was just 6,366. The announced attendance for their light heavyweight championship rematch at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas was 10,592, which means 4,226 tickets were comped to one of the most significant fights of the year.
Those gate receipts generated $2.187 million in revenue, far less than the ticket sales from their first fight produced. That bout, which Ward narrowly won by unanimous decision November 19 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, produced $3.341 million in ticket revenue.
The announced attendance for that card was 13,310. The paid attendance was 10,066 at a building that can accommodate approximately 20,000 for boxing.
Mandalay Bay Events Center can hold around 12,000 fans for boxing.
Exorbitant ticket prices appeared to affect fan interest in attending the rematch. Tickets to Ward-Kovalev 2 were priced at $1,255, $755, $505, $355, $255 and $105.
Tickets prices for their first fight ranged from $55 to $1,055.
The Ward-Kovalev rematch, which Ward won by eighth-round technical knockout, also performed worse on pay-per-view than their first fight.
It reportedly drew approximately 130,000 buys, despite that their first fight was intriguing and resulted in controversy. Their first fight drew about 165,000 buys.
HBO Sports, the television distributor for both Ward-Kovalev contests, has not confirmed either pay-per-view figure.
Nevertheless, the poor performance of their rematch at the gate and on pay-per-view affected Russia’s Kovalev (30-2-1, 26 KOs) more than Ward (32-0, 16 KOs), a two-division champion from Hayward, California. The former champion was paid primarily from percentages of ticket and pay-per-view revenue, whereas Ward was guaranteed a $6.5 million purse.
Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports (Ward) and Main Events (Kovalev) co-promoted both bouts.at

aneed123;c-9863647 said:Al Bernstein went in on screamin A Smith
I seldom criticize sportscasting colleagues. BUT I cringe when announcers who don't really follow boxing denigrate fighters for no reason. Perhaps before Stephen A. Smith said that Horn opponents Randall Bailey and Ali Funeka "give new meaning to the term no names" he might have done 5 minutes of research and realized that Bailey only 5 years ago was a world champion and as recently as 6 yrs ago Funeka fought twice for a world title. Are they household names to all sports or boxing fans...no. Were they aging fighters that Horn could build his name with...yes. BUT within the sport they are not no names. it is awful to read their names and a few others in a mocking tone and suggest they're some kind of bums. These two men had excellent careers. I doubt if he would pick an aging NBA player who isn't a superstar and call him a no name even though casual NBA fans might not know who that 2nd string power forward might be. When asked "what do you have on Jeff Horn?" Smith said, "gotta admit I don't have much on this dude." Really? How could you admit that on National TV when you are being paid to cover this "dude." Then he denigrated Horn's opponents without knowing anything about THEM. And, again, I'm not saying Horn has faced super tough competition, but don't sit there with your co-host and laugh and mock their names, after you have admitted you didn't even do any homework on one of the fighters who is in the main event, let alone his opponents. When I have covered other sports beyond boxing I make it my business to NOT overreach and make statements based on no knowledge. Instead I actually prepare, so that I can stay in my lane, be factual, and do the job I'm being paid for. When I covered major league baseball or the NBA on Sportscenter when I was at ESPN I didn't offer unfounded opinions on players who I did not cover on a regular basis. I stuck to the facts and any insights I gathered from players or others who covered the sport regularly. If Smith is going to keep doing these boxing shows, I suggest he and whoever sits and co-hosts with him do the same. Sorry for this tirade, but this is more than a little distressing to me. Boxers deserve respect and accuracy when they are reported on.
good! fuck sas

Washington Looks Forward To Shutting Jarrell Miller's Mouth
Consensus top-10 heavyweight Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller will make his hometown debut just down the block from where he was born when he faces former world title challenger Gerald Washington at Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING, after an 11-month hiatus.
The 6-foot-4, 285-pound undefeated Miller (18-0-1, 16 KOs) will meet dangerous heavyweight contender and former college football player, Washington (18-1-1, 12 KOs) in a 10-round showdown on Saturday, July 29. Highlights of Miller vs. Washington will air on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT), part of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING doubleheader headlined by Adrien Broner and Mikey Garcia.
Jarrell Miller is promoted by Salita Promotions and Greg Cohen Promotions in association with Big Baby Promotions.
The confident and hard-hitting Miller has knocked out seven consecutive opponents since his pro debut in 2009. Following a voluntary layoff due to contractual disputes, the 28-year-old former professional kickboxer will take a step up in opposition when he faces Washington, a U.S. Navy veteran who challenged heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder earlier this year in a hard-fought bout.
“The day has been set and it can’t come soon enough,” said Miller. “Fighting is my life and being able to make my debut at Barclays Center is beyond monumental. This will be a night to remember for me, my family and for the fans.”
"Jarrell Miller is the heir to the heavyweight championship throne,” said Dmitriy Salita, President of Salita Promotions. “Like the great American heavyweights from Brooklyn, Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe, Jarrell has the skills and charisma to be the face of the heavyweight division. Following in their footsteps I believe he is the next boxing superstar from the world famous borough."
Ranked No. 5 by the WBO and No. 7 by the WBA and IBF, Miller earned three stoppage victories in 2016, including a third-round TKO over veteran Fred Kassi in his 2016 headlining fight on ShoBox: The New Generation, where he landed 57 percent of his power shots.
“I’m a born, bred fighter,” Miller continued. “I’ve been fighting since Day 1. I’m good at everything – damn good at everything. I can box, I can slug, and I bring the pain. Every time I go into a fight, I look for the knockout. I’m fast, I’m powerful, and I’ve got a big damn mouth.”
Charismatic and eloquent with an outspoken affinity for cheeseburgers, Miller doesn’t hesitate to dole out trash talk, especially when it comes to his opinion on the state of the heavyweight division and its big names.
"The heavyweight division is gaining momentum overseas but it’s still wide open,” Miller continued. “Big Baby Miller has arrived to stay. I will shake up the division by turning it upside down and I will put not just my beloved hometown of Brooklyn on the map, but the entire United States of America.”
The 6-foot-6 Washington, 35, is a well-rounded athlete from Vallejo, Calif. who turned to pro boxing in 2012. He played football under Pete Carroll and Steve Sarkisian at University of Southern California and was part of the Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks practice squads before turning to boxing. Washington holds victories over experienced one-time Wladimir Klitschko foe Eddie Chambers and veteran Ray Austin. He will be making his East Coast debut on July 29.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to personally welcome Big Baby Miller to big-time boxing," said Washington. "Big Baby Miller has done a lot of talking, I'll be looking to stop that talking from the moment the bell to start the fight rings."
