Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said newly crowned welterweight world titleholder Manny Pacquiao will "definitely" fight again in the spring and said "I give it 75 percent" that he will face Floyd Mayweather in a rematch.

PACQUIAO I feel happy I’m trying every round to knock him down but no careless I”m very careful to go inside because I know he will counter me I feel I can do more but every round is to try and knock him out Im going back to senate and the next fight I talk to Bob I don’t know whoever the people want me to fight I am not picking an opponent whoever my promoter gives me I will fight. Anybody at 147. Crawford? Not a problem – better VARGAS I think it waa a very close fight it was a chess match back and forth we were on our toes trying to catch each other His speed surprised me at the beginning and that woke me up Flash knockdown in 3rd he has tremendous speed sometimes you get caught ith those quick shots you don’t see and it knocks you down. We are only improving I apologize if I let you down but I tried my best and we are only getting better. Fighting Pac only elevated my game and it makes me better.

ESPN.com At this point, it's the only question worth asking: Who is going to win Saturday night's fight between eight-division world titleholder Manny Pacquiao and welterweight titlist Jessie Vargas? Dan RafaelDan Rafael ESPN.com Pacquiao by decision I think Pacquiao has more left in the tank, and even though Vargas is an excellent, young fighter, Pacquiao will win handily. Steve BunceSteve Bunce ESPN UK Pacquiao by UD Pacquiao will beat Vargas on points, and it will be wide. Pacquiao has not stopped an opponent since 2009, Vargas is durable and Pacquiao is smart enough to win a decision without taking a risk. Nick ParkinsonNick Parkinson ESPN UK Pacquiao by UD Pacquiao is not the force he once was, but he still has too much experience, skill and speed for Vargas. Pacquiao's last stoppage win was seven years ago, so a wide points-decision victory is more likely. Brian CampbellBrian Campbell ESPN.com Pacquiao by UD Anything Vargas can do, Pacquiao can do much better -- even at 37. As long as Pacquiao can avoid that one big right hand, Vargas isn't quick or dynamic enough to upset him. Teddy AtlasTeddy Atlas ESPN/PBC on ESPN Pacquiao by decision Pacquiao is in the twilight of a great career, while Vargas is just coming into his own. Vargas is performing with a solidness and confidence of a top fighter who has developed a coy delivery system for his right hand. But at the end of the day, the ultra-athletic Pacquiao will be a bit too fast for a solid-but-still-one-dimensional Vargas. Pacman wins a decision after surviving a scare where he is shaken. Nigel CollinsNigel Collins ESPN.com/PBC on ESPN Pacquiao by UD Despite the odds against him, Vargas will give Pacquiao a good fight but fall short on the scorecards. Manny's speed and experience at the top level should be enough to win around eight of the 12 rounds. Eric RaskinEric Raskin HBO.com Pacquiao by UD Vargas has no glaring weaknesses. But there isn't a single thing he does better than Manny, who is still a reasonable facsimile of his prime self. He should be able to comfortably outbox the younger man and win by scores in the 117-111 range. Juan Manuel MarquezJuan Manuel Marquez ESPN Deportes/Golpe a Golpe Pacquiao by KO Pacquiao will win by knockout. He'll suffer in the early rounds, but his speed, experience and punching power will give him the victory over Vargas. Salvador RodriguezSalvador Rodriguez ESPNdeportes.com Pacquiao by UD I strongly believe Vargas will give Pacquiao a better fight than Bradley did in April, but Pacquiao's speed, accuracy and boxing skills will give the Senator a victory by points. Joe CortezJoe Cortez ESPN Deportes/Noche de Combates Vargas by UD Pacquiao will bring a lot of skills into the ring against a young, hungry fighter. I've been around fighters like these two in the past, and from my experiences, I've learned that the veteran fighter's day will come sooner or later. I really think Manny's time is near the end. I think Jesse will outpoint Manny by a close but unanimous decision. Jorge Eduardo SanchezJorge Eduardo Sanchez ESPN Deportes Pacquiao by TKO Pacquiao will win by way of KO. Despite being the smaller fighter, Pacquiao remains one of the best fighters in boxing, with both power and speed that Vargas won't be able to control. Vargas will use his right hand to counterattack, but once Pacquiao sets the pace of the fight, he should be able to finish Vargas. Leopoldo GonzalezLeopoldo Gonzalez ESPN Deportes/Noche de Combates Pacquiao by decision Vargas had difficulties with Timothy Bradley Jr.'s speed. With Pacquiao's movements, and his fast in-and-out technique, Vargas will have major problems as well. Sure, Pacquiao hasn't scored a KO victory since 2009, but that won't interfere with a decision win for the Pacman. Pablo ViruegaPablo Viruega ESPN Deportes/Noche de Combates Pacquiao by TKO8 Vargas will come out with great intensity at the chance to face Manny, but Pacquiao will manage the fight and take...

The World Boxing Association is expected to make their decision today whether to sanction the December 10 fight between IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko. Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn is bellyaching something fierce about the rumors of the 40-year-old Wladimir facing Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne on December 10 in Hamburg, Germany.

MMA star Conor McGregor might be preparing for his UFC 205 bout against Eddie Alvarez on Nov. 12, but he proved on Saturday that he wouldn't back down from any would-be challenger—even if it comes in the form of retired, undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., who might not share McGregor's feelings for a fight. Speaking with the Lad Bible, via Dan Hiergesell of MMAMania.com, the 28-year-old stated he is waiting for Mayweather to come around: Floyd is afraid of fighting. Floyd doesn't want to fight. Floyd wants a boxing match. And I've already said 'No problem. Get my f--king money!' and when he gets my money then we can box in this boxing match under these set of specific rules that will keep you alive. So, I'm here. Where's my money? Because if you keep dropping my name and you haven't got my money then I am going to show up at your front door. So we will see. But Floyd does not want to fight me. Floyd wants a match under a specific set of rules. I don't need rules. So I'm open. Let's see what happens. Right now it is just talk.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Nevada took a giant step closer to becoming home of the Raider Nation on Friday, after state lawmakers narrowly approved a hotel tax increase that would put $750 million in public money toward an NFL stadium partly funded by billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. A cadre of lobbyists for the project strained over the past week to overcome conservative anxiety over a tax increase and liberal objections to subsidizing one of the world's richest men, eventually securing the bare minimum number of Assembly votes to hit the required two-thirds majority. Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval, who views the $1.9 billion stadium as a way to ensure Las Vegas' continued dominance in tourism, is expected to sign the deal Monday in Las Vegas. Raiders owner Mark Davis praised Sandoval and lawmakers in a statement. "All parties have worked extremely hard to develop and approve this tremendous stadium project that will serve as a proud new home for the entire Raider Nation," he said.

Manila, Philippines (CNN)Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's vitriol against the United States took another caustic turn Tuesday, when he threatened to "break up" with the US and said President Barack Obama can "go to hell." Duterte's latest remarks came just as the US and Philippines started joint military exercises -- perhaps for the last time. The war drills began Tuesday in Manila and will last until October 12. Last week, Duterte said this round of joint drills with the US would be the last. "I serve notice to you now that this will be the last joint military exercise with US," Duterte said. 'I will break up with America'
