Manny Pacquiao, currently the number one ranked fighter on the pound for pound list, will start training for his welterweight title defense against Joshua clottey on Monday, at the wild card gym.

Currently, Manny Pacquiao is on vacation with his wife Jinkee and their four kids. They are currently in Boracay, a paradise in the Philippines.

Top ranks Bob Arum watched a Dallas Cowboys game with former president George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush in the owners box. Bob Arum had the following to say about it:

"I have never in my life seen anything like this stadium. It's unbelievable."

Bob Arum also said that former Pres. George W. Bush told him "Bob you are better off without Mayweather everyone just wants to see Manny Pacquiao. This is a great fight and unless I am called away to make a speech I am coming to the fight."

Arum said that the first press conference would be at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium and would be on January 18. He said that the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders would be performing and during the fight some of them will serve as a round girls.

Bob Arum also fired off some shots at Golden boy promotions, more specifically CEO Richard Schaefer. He told Schaefer to "go back to banking and leave boxing to the real professionals.". Bob Arum said that Richard Schaefer has come a negative force on boxing because he's trying to make a fight on the same day Pacquiao's fighting Clottey out of spite.

Arum also commented on an alleged e-mail which ESPN boxing commentator Teddy Atlas said was asking team Mayweather to be quiet about a "dirty" blood test in order not to hurt promotion for the planned Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight. However the fight never happened. Arum said that there was no e-mail and that the story was made up and malicious.
