Watch Pacquaio vs Marquez 4 Live Stream and Replay Fight Video

When Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao square off for the fourth time Saturday night, the stakes could be larger than ever.

According to Top Rank president Todd DuBoef, who promotes the world-class pugilist, Pacquiao, 34, this month, could rake in upwards of $25 million dollars for the Marquez fight, possibly even $30 million, reports Yahoo.

While the Filipino fighter is contracted at almost $8.6 million, pay-per-view sales and foreign television money are expected to pad Pacquiao’s purse. His card is predicted to top 1 million buys and could possibly reach 1.3 million. DuBoef also believes closed circuit viewing for the headlining fight will be up, even after Pacquiao lost a controversial decision — that many thought he won — to Timothy Bradley in his last bout.

“We’re getting more of the bars and restaurants, the chains, the Hooters, the Buffalo Wild Wings, places like that, buying the fight,” DuBoef told Yahoo. “If [interest in Pacquiao is decreasing], I am not seeing it.”

Fans, though, are growing weary about the sport as it has yet to put on what boxing masses are calling the best fight: Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather.

Money demands and drug testing procedures have continued to stall the bout, though Top Rank chairman Bob Arum still believes it would produce nearly 3 million pay-per-view subscribers if both sides could come together.

Pacquiao’s opponent Saturday, Juan Manuel Marquez, won’t be doing too bad for himself in the wallet either. The 39-year-old Mexican figher will make $3 million guaranteed for the contest, and like Pacquiao, should earn significantly more than that when pay-per-view and foreign TV numbers are calculated.

According to Forbes, Pacquiao was the second highest-earning athlete from June 2011 through June 2012, accruing $62 million. The only man that made more than him was rival, Floyd Mayweather, who hauled in a whopping $85 million.

As usual for all the big fights, we’ve gathered up the troops and have put together the roundup of our Pacquiao vs. Marquez 4 staff picks and predictions. The Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez bout takes place on Saturday night, December 8th, and will be shown on pay-per-view. Before tuning in, take a look at our official Pacquiao-Marquez predictions right here. Who do we think will end the night with his hand raised – Pacman or Dinamita?

Watch Chelsea vs Reading Live Streaming 2012 Online Free English Premier League



Game two of the Premier League season is very nearly upon us. Soon this will be all part of the routine, a slow, grey slog through our slow, grey winter lives, but for now football is new and fun and good. And with Chelsea hosting newly-promoted Reading, there's every chance that it stays fun and good for at least another few days.

Date/Time: Wednesday, August 22nd; 7:45 PM (BST), 2:45 PM (EDT). Thursday, August 23rd, 0:15 AM (IST).

Venue: Stamford Bridge, London.

TV information: ESPN2 (USA), ESPN and ESPN HD (India).

Team news: All-action Brazilian winger Ramires is back in the squad after an illness -- presumably he was struck down by a bout of being slightly too awesome for the universe to handle -- so we're back to full strength save for Marko Marin, who is out with a nagging hamstring problem.

Reading are, apparently, 'picking from the same squad that drew with Stoke'. So that's easy enough.

Tactically, there's not a whole lot to say that hasn't been thoroughly covered elsewhere. Expect Reading in a quintessentially English 4-4-2, and don't expect them to be scared of coming to Stamford Bridge. They'll have seen what Southampton nearly pulled off against Manchester City, and this season's Premier League newcomers are generally far stronger than the previous years' editions. They're not going to turtle up and hope to only be beaten by one or two.

Of course, that could be their undoing, because Chelsea are more than capable of some explosive attacking play, especially if another team comes onto them like Wigan Athletic did in the early stages of Sunday's match. While they're yet to prove that they can truly break opponents down, the Blues have demonstrated that they're still more than capable of reactive football, and if Reading come onto them they could hit them very, very hard. With a weekend game against Newcastle coming up, one would imagine that Roberto di Matteo will hope for a similar outcome to the opener -- score enough early goals that a win is secure and then relax.

The fact that this is a match on short rest also means that he's likely to take advantage of that squad depth we've been building up. Gary Cahill's a natural candidate to start over David Luiz with Reading's aerial threat, and we may see Frank Lampard rested too. With Ramires back, we can give some serious thought to plonking Juan Mata on the bench for a while, and I wouldn't even be shocked to see Daniel Sturridge start at centre forward.

Di Matteo's options make it very difficult to figure out how he'll play this, but let's try to project a lineup anyway:

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Petr Cech; Ashley Cole, John Terry, Gary Cahill, Branislav Ivanovic; Raul Meireles, John Obi Mikel; Ramires, Eden Hazard, Daniel Sturridge; Fernando Torres.

Viciously quick, defensively sounds, gives Torres a chance to score a couple. Should be good enough for the win. Here's hoping.

This matchup could be a preview of the gold-medal game, as the two teams are heavy favorites to win the tournament. In fact, they squared off in the 2008 gold-medal game in Beijing. The Americans pulled away and won 117-108 to take home the gold.

While the U.S. team is full of NBA superstars, the Spain team is also loaded with talent and has played together longer than America’s finest, who have only practiced together since early July.

Watch Boxing Broner vs Escobedo (super featherweights) Live Online Streaming



Broner’s most impressive victories to date have been a 1st round TKO over Jason Litzau and a 4th round TKO over Eloy Perez. Broner does lack that big name victory to get him into super stardom territory, and that big name victory won’t come on Saturday.
Escobedo is seven years Broner’s elder and had a more illustrious amateur career than Broner. He represented the United States at the 2004 Olympics and got there by beating Anthony Peterson in the Olympic Trials.

Watch Juan Carlos Burgos vs Cesar Vazquez Live Online Stream



On Friday Night Fights, Juan Carlos Burgos is scheduled to fight Cesar Vasquez in the Super Featherweight division. Burgos came up short in his world title fight in 2010, a win over Vasquez this Friday could give Burgos another chance at a world title.

The 2012 Open Championship will be the 141st Open Championship and is being played from 19–22 July at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England. The 2012 event will be the eleventh Open Championship to be played at Royal Lytham & St Annes. The last was in 2001, when American David Duval won his first major championship, finishing three strokes clear of runner-up Niclas Fasth. American Tom Lehman won the previous Open at the venue, in 1996.

Watch UFC on Fuel Tv Munoz vs Weidman Live Online Stream



This is Mark Munoz’s moment. The Filipino Wrecking Machine will come out guns blazing, looking to make a title shot statement. Munoz has more experience, and in my opinion, he’s just more well-rounded as a fighter than Weidman. It’s a close fight, but I think Munoz’s physical power, experience and determination will get him the victory.

The 2012 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be the 83rd edition of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. It will be held on July 10, 2012, during the 2012 Major League Baseball season at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, home of the Kansas City Royals. This will mark the third time the Midsummer Classic has been played in Kansas City, with Kauffman Stadium (then named Royals Stadium) last hosting the event in 1973, the stadium's first year of existence. The event was also held at Municipal Stadium in 1960, when the Athletics were still based there, one of two played that season. The game will be televised by Fox.

Watch Wimbledon Men's final Roger Federer vs Andy Murray Live Streaming



Roger Federer can reclaim the World No. 1 ranking with a victory, and if he does that, he will tie Pete Sampras' record for most weeks as the top ranked player. If Andy Murray wins, he will end a British drought at Wimbledon and become the first UK-based player to win the major since Fred Perry in 1936.

Murray has the daunting task of facing his Grand Slam final boogeyman in what looks as though it will be the Scot's most pressure-filled match of his career. Federer beat Murray in both the finals of the 2008 U.S. Open and 2010 Australian Open.

Watch Donaire vs Mathebula Live Online Streaming



Donaire vs. Mathebula Prediction:
Sometimes when a fighter is on the way to bigger things as Donaire is, they encounter an unexpected speed bump. Then that begins the new rivalry. If that were to occur with Mathebula, it would be a giant surprise. Donaire might be caught looking ahead, but even if Mathebula had his Rocky Balboa moment in this fight, he might still be up against it. Donaire should win and look for it to happen inside the distance against a gallant Mathebula.

Watch UFC 148 Silva vs Sonnen II Live Online Streaming



Anderson Silva versus Chael Sonnen Prediction:
Sonnen did pretty well during his first encounter against Silva, but I don't think he'll be able to replicate his performance at UFC 148. Sonnen's elevated testosterone levels had a lot to do with the intense pace he kept at UFC 117, and the element of surprise also worked in his favor. This time around, "The Spider" knows how good Sonnen's takedowns are, and I expect him to do a much better job avoiding them. Silva should be able to dominate the fight from start to finish, while dishing out a serious beating. Silva wins via TKO.

Forrest Griffin versus Tito Ortiz Prediction:
Griffin didn't do too well in his last fight against Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, but he should be able to rebound against Ortiz. When focused, Griffin is still a serious threat for most light-heavyweights in the UFC, and I don't think Ortiz has enough left in his tank to deal with him. Griffin wins by TKO

Cung Le versus Patrick Côté Prediction:
Le will try to secure his first win in the UFC when he faces Côté on Saturday. Le has the advantage in the striking department, and he should be able to stuff any attempt by Côté to take the fight to the canvas. I expect a very entertaining showdown between the two, with Le emerging victorious. Le wins via decision.

Dong Hyun Kim versus Demian Maia Prediction:
Maia will make his welterweight debut when he faces Kim at UFC 148. Maia's performance in his last fight against Chris Weidman certainly wasn't impressive, and he'll have his hands full against the Korean. Kim - who is a better striker - has already dealt with solid BJJ guys like Nate Diaz in the past, and he should be able to handle Maia's submissions. Kim wins via decision.

Watch WWE Super SmackDown 2012 The Great American Bash Live Online Streaming



The Great American Bash is a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced in the summer in either the month of June or July by professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The 2009 edition was known as The Bash. The event was originally-produced in 1985 under National Wrestling Alliance's Jim Crockett Promotions, and then by its successor, World Championship Wrestling (WCW). According to Ric Flair in his autobiography, To Be the Man, Dusty Rhodes invented the concept. The last event was held on June 11, 2000, not to be held again due to the acquisition of WCW by World Wrestling Federation (WWF). After a four-year hiatus, the event was revived by the rechristened WWE in June 2004 and would be exclusive to the SmackDown! brand from 2004 to 2006. In 2007, to follow the format of WrestleMania, WWE made all its pay per view events promotionwide, featuring matches with competitors from its three brands, Raw, SmackDown, and ECW. The 2009 event was rebranded as The Bash, as a way to distance the show from its past as part of WCW. The event was replaced in 2010 by Fatal 4-Way. In July 2012, the event name will be used for a live SuperSmackDown show featuring the Great American Bash battle royal.

Watch WWE No Way Out 2012 Live Online Streaming



We’ve got ourselves a seven-match card — including the pre-show match — and I’m pretty excited for all but one of those matches (I’ll tell you which one as we go along). Creative’s gotten some flak over the last few years for messing with the PPV buildups by just putting random superstars together in some feud that didn’t make sense just to add a match to the card. Add to that their tendency to pepper the card with bonus impromptu bouts and you have a solid portion of the fan base not feeling as confident about PPV buildups today as we did in the mid-2000s.

But for this PPV, all seven matches stem from feuds that have been established pretty well. And, unlike Over the Limit, which had four (I repeat, four) matches that were impromptu, I can go so far as to say that this card is stacked enough as it is. Though, I’m predicting right off the bat that there will be a Ryback squash here.

Watch NBA Finals Game 1 to 7: Heat vs Thunder Live Online Stream



The 2012 NBA Finals is the championship round of the 2011–12 NBA season and the conclusion of the season's playoffs. The Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat will face the Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder under a 2–3–2 rotation. The Thunder will have home-court advantage in the Finals since they had a better regular season record than the Heat.

Game 1 of the Finals will be played on June 12, five days later than its originally planned June 7 start. This delay was due to the lockout that pushed the start of the season to late December and shortened the regular season to 66 games.

This marks the first time that the Oklahoma City Thunder will appear in the NBA Finals since the franchise's relocation from Seattle, Washington in 2008, and their first Finals appearance overall since 1996 as the Seattle SuperSonics. It also marks the Miami Heat's third appearance in the NBA Finals since their championship season of 2006 and their first Finals appearance against teams other than the Dallas Mavericks.

WHAT THE HEAT MUST DO TO WIN THE 2012 NBA FINALS

Drive to the Basket — As LeBron James and Dwayne Wade go, so go the Miami Heat. Unfortunately, both superstars can sometimes struggle when shooting from the floor. Oklahoma City plays very good defense and fills the passing lanes. James and Wade must drive to the basket and force the Thunder front court of Kevin Durant, Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka to choose between foul trouble or allowing easy baskets.

Contain Russell Westbrook — Oklahoma City has a tremendous edge in the point guard match-up in this series. When he’s playing in control, as he did over the last four games of the Western Conference Finals, the Thunder’s Russell Westbrook can create havoc on offense and defense. He’s an excitable player, so Miami’s Mario Chalmers may want to try to lean on him a bit and get him off his game. Chalmers must give the Heat some production on the offensive end, at least enough to keep Westbrook and others from easily helping on James and Wade.

Force Kevin Durant Into Bad Shots — The Thunder’s Kevin Durant is an incredible scorer. He may have the best shooting range of any current NBA player. Miami must rotate fresh defenders on to Durant so that he rarely has a clear look from his favorite shooting spots. Still, Durant will score 20 per game; Miami must keep him under 30.

WHAT THE THUNDER MUST DO TO WIN THE 2012 NBA FINALS

Unleash James Harden — The NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year gives Oklahoma City the edge in bench strength. What Harden must do is find a way to score when Miami has both Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook covered. Already averaging 17.6 points per game in the playoffs, Harden is capable of turning a game around in seconds. The Heat may not have an answer for him.

Be Physical — Miami’s Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem do not stack up against the Thunder’s physical duo of Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins. Ibaka and Perkins have to dominate the rebounding at both ends of the floor and get back on run-outs so that James and Wade never score an easy basket.

Get in LeBron James’ Head — LeBron James has played like the MVP that he is. Until he gets an NBA title, James will carry pressure around with him to succeed, and it will get greater with every loss in this 2012 NBA Finals. If Oklahoma City can get ahead in this series, the pundits will start pecking at James. That could be enough to tip the series their way.

Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley, is a Boxing Welterweight match that is scheduled to be held on June 9, 2012, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada Kehna dia marum USA. After the Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight negotiation ended when both sides once again did not come to terms, Mayweather opted to challenge junior middleweight titlist Miguel Cotto on May 5. Cotto had also been in the running to face Pacquiao in a rematch, but Pacquiao and Cotto could not agree on the weight for the fight. Pacquiao wanted the 147-pound welterweight limit, which Cotto said was too low for him, and he accepted a deal from Mayweather.
