Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the latest in sports controversies, from the highly anticipated Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch to the criticism surrounding Darryn Peterson’s availability and draft prospects, debating whether boxing is losing its excitement and if Peterson still deserves to be a top pick despite his inconsistent season.
Legendary boxers Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao have officially agreed to a professional rematch of their historic 2015 bout, scheduled for September 19, 2026, at the Sphere in Las Vegas. The fight will be streamed live globally on Netflix, marking one of the biggest boxing events of the year and the first professional boxing match ever held at the Sphere. Both fighters have come out of retirement to make this bout happen: Mayweather, now in his late 40s, announced his return to professional boxing, while Pacquiao, also in his late 40s, has resumed his career after a recent comeback fight. Is boxing dead?
Criticism surrounding Darryn Peterson has focused primarily on his availability and consistency this college basketball season. As a projected top pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Peterson has missed a significant number of games for the Kansas Jayhawks due to recurring injuries, cramping and occasional illnesses and he has also exited several games early because of these issues. This has led to scrutiny from analysts and commentators. Peterson responded to this criticism? Is Peterson right? Should NBA teams draft him as a top pick?
