Manny Pacquiao needs a resounding victory to get back into the big picture with Floyd Mayweather Jr., according to a Showtime executive.

Ross Greenburg, former president of HBO Sports and now an executive producer of rival Showtime, said an "aggressive" win by Pacquiao over Mexico’s Brandon Rios could potentially change boxing’s current landscape.

As Manila and Taipei prepared for fishery talks next month in a bid to ease tensions, the Chinese Embassy on Tuesday issued a reminder of Taiwan’s political status, saying governments should defer to Beijing’s “one-China policy.”

“The Chinese government has no objection to the nongovernmental economic and cultural contacts between Taiwan and foreign countries that have diplomatic relations with China, but we oppose foreign countries and Taiwan to have official exchanges or sign agreements with sovereign and official implications,” said the Chinese Embassy spokesperson, Zhang Hua.
