Mayweather Offers Rematch; It’s Magical to Pacquiao

The message sounded like magic to Manny Pacquiao’s ears: Floyd Mayweather Jr. is willing to give him a second chance in the ring.
Still reeling from the loss he suffered to Mayweather and the injury he sustained on Saturday night, Pacquiao’s eyes sparkled when informed of the flamboyant American’s announcement.
“I will fight him in a year after his surgery,” Mayweather texted ESPN’s Stephen Smith.
“Rematch? Yes, we’re ready to fight,” Pacquiao told sportswriters and photographers in Filipino at the garage of his home on North Plymouth Boulevard. “For now, however, my injury has to heal first.
Surgery on Sunday
Pacquiao, who’s scheduled for surgery at a Los Angeles hospital on Sunday, said his right shoulder rotator cuff muscle got a “significant tear” and it needed to be sewn up to heal.
“It will take from four to six months to return to normal,” added Pacquiao.
After the procedure, Pacquiao will have to take five to six weeks rest without strenuous activities.
As to his rehabilitation program, Pacquiao revealed that a doctor will go to the Philippines monthly to check on his progress.
Pacquiao said the injury was actually an old one. He sustained it in 2009 when a big wave struck the jetski he was driving, sending him flying into the air for a bad fall.
It recurred when Pacquiao’s arm and that of his sparring partner got entangled after an exchange of punches.
The incident was confirmed by Dashon Johnson, one of his former sparring partners, in a Facebook post.
Two days later, Pacquiao was examined and the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) detected the tear. Pacquiao did not spar for a week and used his injured shoulder sparingly to allow it to recover.
Eventually, Pacquiao felt confident to use it in sparring and mitts sessions. Just to make sure, however, they sought the permission of the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) to inject Toradol, an anti-inflammatory drug, three hours prior to the 12-round bout. It was turned down.
Despite the rejection, Pacquiao went on the offensive, pouring it all in the fourth round until his right caught Mayweather near the neck. Right after the collision, pain shot through Pacquiao’s arm and he was never the same again.
“I could endure the pain, but the power was no longer there,” said Pacquiao.
Now, Pacquiao and his team are under scrutiny for failing to formally disclose the injury to the NSAC, having indicated that he had no injury in the medical questionnaire.
Pacquiao’s adviser, Michael Koncz, admitted that he—not the fighter—filled out the form and made the mistake in the answer box.
Unexpected
The rematch offer of Mayweather was unexpected, as the world’s highest earning athlete had stated during the postfight news conference that he’d be done with boxing after one more bout in September.
Though he hasn’t reviewed the tape of the fight as his staff left it in his suite in Delano Hotel, Pacquiao gave credit to Mayweather, stating that the American deserved the victory and was one of the best fighters he had faced in the ring.
For now, however, Pacquiao isn’t ready yet to concede Mayweather is The Best Ever.

A Great Mismatch

Singer in Doubt SD has been in a quandary for a time now. While she is undeniably talented, SD is often besieged by self-doubt and insecurity about herself. Oh well, she can’t be blamed for feeling that way. SD knows that her network is a haven for gifted artists and being on the stage with them can really overwhelm and puts one under pressure.
In a segment of their Top Rating Show TS, SD gets to sing with greenhorn but otherwise talented singers TS1 and TS2. These two are powerhouse singers who can give anyone a run for their money. And like SD, too, who is a product of talent search, TS1 and TS2 are likewise contest survivors.
However, SD has not been comfortable singing with TS1 and TS2 for the longest time, as it becomes like a showdown every time. SD always gets compared with the two talents - and she’s just tired of all the harsh comparison. It’s a no brainer – the comparison is always to SD’s disadvantage.
Indeed, netizens often react with SD’s singing, pointing to it as bland, out of tune, emotionless, even her diction takes a beating. In contrast, viewers give very positive/encouraging commentaries to TS1 and TS2, especially TS2 who critics say already poses as a threat to the more established talents, SD included. Although TS1 and TS2 may be considered veterans in various singing competitions, their stars only shone brighter after joining a search where they gained confidence even more.
TS1 is praised for her vocal prowess and unique singing style. TS2 is touted to be the next big thing, reportedly a total package for her looks alone, with effortless stage presence and vocal performance to boot. Thus SD, who is not supposedly as superior, finds singing with them a big letdown for her.
Thus SD reportedly found a way out of this when she requested production to take her out of the trio, and asked instead to sing with the veteran singers of the show. SD quipped that she’d rather be bashed singing with veterans than with newbies TS1 and TS2. There goes her angst..

Pinky Webb Leaves ABS-CBN

Veteran broadcaster, Pinky Webb, has resigned from ABS–CBN according to a reliable source. Webb started her career in the network and moved up to anchor during her stint with the station. Other than delivering the news, Webb has co-hosted XXX: eXklusibong, eXplosibong eXpose with Julius Babao and Anthony Taberna. Together with Alvin Elchico, Webb has anchored TV Patrol Weekend. Webb also hosted several shows at ANC. She has also worked in DZMM with Ted Failon for Tambalang Failon at Webb.
Over the years, Webb has received several awards for her work. Among these awards, Webb received the Best Radio Anchor award from the 9th Gawad Tanglaw, and as Best TV Anchor two years later. She was also named as Best Female Morning Show Host during the first Media Newser Philippines (MNP) Awards.
Interestingly, Webb kept her private life away from the public’s eyes despite coming from a famous family. She is the daughter of athlete and media personality, Freddie Webb, and the sister of former basketball player, Jason, and controversial brother, Hubert. She even managed to keep a low profile relationship with actor Edu Manzano for half a decade. The relationship ended at the time when Manzano decided to run for a political position in 2010.
Given all her achievements and years in the newsroom, leaving the country’s top network seems to be unthinkable. However, the source said that the lack of projects was the reason why Webb opted to resign. Allegedly, Webb might be joining the newsroom of an international news entity that has recently started its broadcast in the country.
