WBO Panel - Manny Pacquiao Won Over Timothy Bradley

The five-man panel convened by World Boxing Organization President Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel declared Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao the winner of the June 9 boxing match, wherein Timothy Bradley dethroned Pacquiao as the welterweight titleholder.

The five judges, who were asked to review the fight’s video, re-scored the Pacquiao-Bradley bout and held out the scores 117-111, 117-111, 118-110, 116-112, and 115-113—unanimously favoring Pacquiao.

After declaring that he won over Bradley, the Filipino ring icon who feels vindicated, said he would not accept the welterweight crown the judges had taken from him and given to Timothy Bradley—even if the American gave it back.

Pacquiao would rather that the title be declared vacant by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), which had sanctioned the controversial June 9 bout.

In an interview by DZMM, a grateful Pacquiao expressed, “Ito siguro ay hindi lang para sa akin kundi para sa boxing… para mabigyan ng leksyon ang mga judges na gumagawa ng ganoon."

He also believes that this new decision will reinstate the faith of the boxing fanatics who have been critical and vocal about their dissent with the previous decision.

The original three-member panel of the match held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas said Bradley won over Pacquiao by the scores of 115-113 by judges C.J. Ross and Duane Ford. Meanwhile, judge Jerry Roth said Pacquiao won, 115-113.

Pacquiao said in a separate interview with Mornings @ ANC, "Masaya tayo at lumabas ang katotohanan at nabigyan ng katarungan.

“Sulit ang hirap ng mga fans na pinaglaban nila ako."

A clause contained in Pacquiao and Bradley’s match contract says that a rematch is scheduled on November 10.

However, this is contradicted by Top Rank chief executive Bob Arum and Top Rank officials who say it will not push through.

It is reported that Pacquiao is in fact considering a fourth bout with Juan Manuel Marquez in Mexico in November.

Forbes Highest Paid Athletes 2012

The world's highest-paid athlete is in jail. The guy in second place just lost a title fight, and the man who held the distinction for a decade is now third.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao are the two highest paid athletes in the world in 2012, making more than golf superstar Tiger Woods and NBA Most Valuable Player LeBron James.

According to the report, Mayweather had earned $85 million from his two most recent fights alone. He won against Vicor Ortiz in September 2012 and beat Miguel Cotto in May. The report revealed that Pacquiao is second on the list, earning $62 million in 2012.

Tiger Woods, No. 1 on the list since 2001, made $59.4 million to place third.

Although boxers Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao dominate at the top with how much money they reel in combined from salary and endorsements, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, at 10th overall ($42.4 million) is first among the 30 NFL players ranked.

Forbes Highest Paid Actresses 2012

Forbes Highest Paid Actress 2012

Kristen Stewart tops Forbes' highest-paid actress list, raking in $34.5 million between May 2011 to May 2012.

Kristen Stewart of Twilight Saga, 22, is also the youngest woman on Forbes' list by 16 years.

Why Stewart?

Her multiple appearances in the "Twilight" film series has helped propel her to the top of list.

"Suddenly, the star becomes indispensable and the studio has to pay up," Forbes explains. "That's why Kristen Stewart has vaulted to the top of our annual list of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood."

Coming in second is Cameron Diaz at $34 million over the same time-frame, followed by Sandra Bullock with $11 million.

Rounding out the top five are Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron. Julia Roberts is the sixth highest-paid actress, according to Forbes, followed by Sarah Jessica Parker and Meryl Streep.

Overall, though, Forbes points out that Hollywood women trail far behind men in earnings.

"The 10 women who make up our list earned a total $200 million compared to the $361 million brought in by our top 10 men," Forbes noted.

Typhoon "Butchoy" is expected to enhance the Southwest Monsoon that will bring rains over Luzon especially over its western section, and over Western Visayas which may trigger flashfloods and landslides.

Estimated rainfall amount is from 15 - 25 mm per hour (heavy) within the 500 km diameter of the Typhoon.

Fishing boats and other small seacrafts are advised not to venture out into the seaboards of Luzon and Visayas due to the big waves generated by the combined effects of Typhoon "Butchoy" and the Southwest Monsoon.

PAGASA Update: Bagyong Butchoy (June 15)

As of 4:00 AM, June 15, 2012, Bagyong Butchoy (Tropical Depression Guchol) was seen 620 kilometers East, Southeast of Guiuan, Eastern Samar or at coordinates 10.3°N, 132.0°E based on satellite and surface data as posted on PAGASA Weather Bulletin.

Bagyong Butchoy has intensified and became a full-blown typhoon based on the data we received from Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) of the US Navy. PAGASA’s data, however, indicate that Butchoy now comes with maximum sustained winds of 100 kilometers per hour and gustiness of up to 130 kilometers per hour near the center. It is forecast to move in West, Northwest direction at 15 kilometers per hour.

Luzon will experience occasional rains becoming frequent over the western section which may trigger flashfloods and landslides. The rest of the country will have cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms.

Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest will prevail over the whole arhipelago with moderate to rough seas.

Moreover, JWTC said that there is a possibility that Bagyong Butchoy will become a Category 2 typhoon. If it ever hits the land, there is a great threat of devastating damages to properties. PAGASA’s satellite image, however, indicates that Butchoy may exit the country without having a landfall. Still, people especially on the low-lying and flood-prone areas are advised to stay vigilant and alert. While Butchoy may not have a landfall, it brings along heavy rains and strong winds. Fishermen are advised not to venture out to the seaboard.
