NEW YORK (April 26, 2007) – Classic fights, career defining moments and hard-hitting action from the most compelling and unforgettable prizefights of 2006 are recapped in “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING: 20 Years Later” premiering Saturday, May 5, 2007, at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME. Continue reading " “SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING: 20 YEARS LATER”" » “The World Awaits” – De La Hoya vs Mayweatherposted by Kathleen Holland on April 26, 2007With the Mega Fight only a few days away, it seems the attention has switched from boxing to the financial success of the promotion. During this week’s telephone conference call, it seemed that most of the questions asked by the media pertained to the tremendous success of the marketing campaign and the substantial amount of money generated by the fight. This certainly appears to be the biggest revenue producing promotion in the history of boxing, but to boxing fans, that is not what this is all about. The true test of how big of a success this event will be depends on what the boxers bring to the ring and whether or not they will live up to the fans very high expectations. We have seen both of these fighters run, even though it is not typical for Oscar, but we have never seen Oscar meet the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Floyd, who is very quick is probably the best pound for pound in the world, and if he uses the same game plan as in his last fight, quick punches and run, then it will be up to Oscar to keep the fight exciting by cutting Floyd off. On the other hand, if Oscar can’t handle Floyd, we may see him decide to run. Be that as it may, it will be interesting to see how the fight actually plays out, whether or not the spectators, either watching it in person or on TV, actually get their money’s worth.

(CES) has released IWBF featherweight champion Missy "The Fury" Fiorentino from her promotional contract, effective immediately, due to detrimental behavior at last Friday night's "Hearts Of Fire" show in Providence, CES president Jimmy Burchfield announced today. Fiorentino (15-1, 6 KOs) walked Mia St. John to the ring and stood in her corner before and after the St. John's title fight against Missy's CES stablemate Jaime Clampitt, who won a 10-round unanimous decision (100-90, 100-90, 99-91) for the vacant IWBF lightweight championship, which Fiorentino had relinquished. "CES stands for teamwork, family and togetherness," Burchfield explained his decision to release Fiorentino. "That's what we are all about and anyone who isn't cannot be with us, regardless of the fighter's record and accomplishments. We acknowledged all of our fighters (in the audience) by introducing them in the ring, in between fights, as a sign of respect. Nobody could find Missy because she was in Mia's dressing room, which was the last place anybody from CES would have thought to look. I couldn't believe she was in the corner of her CES teammate's opponent. It was a bush league move that I will not tolerate by her or anybody else on Team CES."

I went and pitched it to Gary and he liked the idea and then I went to Showtime, and they loved it, and we were able to put together a couple of dates, two consecutive Fridays for the first round, and we marched on from there.” Continue reading "Boxing as Boxing Should Be" » Photos: Mosley VS.
