the kenny/pacquiao interview makes me f'n laugh..

You can tell Pac is just "winging" his English. This is evident in nearly every interview. If you're utterly convinced that Pacquiao can comprehend every question in the way that the interviewer meant it to be comprehended then I really don't know what to tell you.

moreso than understanding english is to try to speak english. If he was a better speaker he woulda answered. "no, I will not take a test 1 hour before the fight, 5 days before the fight, or 14 days before the fight. All those are in my opinion too close for my persoanl comfort. let me put it this way. _________________ Q:will you eat a pile of rat turd? A: no, that's too much? Q:okay, how about about a teaspoon? A:no, that's too much but wait, you just contradicted yourself, you say a pile was too much, but now you're saying even a teaspoon is too much? you ****en liar. -______________________________ you get it?

I think it's obvious Pacquiao is coached when answering questions in English by one of his American handlers. Which is why he repeats the same lines over and over. Whenever he's asked about a fighter, he always says "Uhhh...he has a good left hook and uhhhh...good uppercut" Everyone he fights has a dangerous left hook according to him. On the Jimmy Kimmel Show, Jimmy asked Pacquiao if he ever played Pac-Man and Manny started talking about his dog. Does that mean he scared of playing the game? His actions and excuses may be suspicious, but he's not fluent in English and the interview isn't proof of guilt.

as a pacquiao and mayweather fan, its funny to see how pacquiao's difficulty in answering brian kenny's questions automatically leads to the solid fact that he's "hiding something" in the eyes of most people on here. pacquiao can hardly keep up with larry merchant's questions after fights, who often tends to slow down and use simpler english, let alone brian kenny's aggressive style of interviewing. the dude's english isnt anywhere near as solid as anyone thinks, and doesnt even answer all questions properly that he's asked haha. its just funny to see how when mayweather stutters, dodges questions and contradicts himself in a brian kenny interview, all the mayweather stans stfu, and when pacquiao doesnt answer all questions properly, they all got something to say. its kinda cute in a way. i dunno, might just be me, but i didnt find the interview sketchy at all, and i dont see how anyone can, knowing how he struggles enough with interviews in general. haha. after reading the thread before listening to the interview, i was expecting to see pacquiao stumble over questions, get defensive, or even get mad.. i didnt see any of that.. instead, heard an interview where he didnt answer questions properly, and dudes on here bashing the guy. just sucks to see how a situation like this can hurt boxing so much. thoughts? I think that Pacquiao shouldn't be held accountable for interviews or what he says in English... it's not his mother language... it's hard for him to speek his mind and put it in the right meaning. I won't held it against him... it would be stupid... I held him accountable for press releases or what gets translated from his own mother language

im not talking bout his comprehendable english that YOU understand, but his own difficulty in completely understanding Kenny's english, therefore affecting his ability to properly answer his questions. His answers were properly answered, he understood Kenny just fine. Cause his answers to the question were proper. He was asked why the fight didnt happen? he blamed Floyd (proper response). Then asked why no testing? clear as day he said not wanting to be tested the day of the fight (proper response). Then asked why not 14 days then? Clear as day again he answered and said No, cause of Heavy training (proper response). He understood Kenny. Stop condoling this grown man, he is not a child.

Not to mention the long aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh's and uuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm's is common language for Filipinos, even in their own language.

"Hiding something" Dont care "Stuttering" Dont care Changing and contradicting why you wont take a test within seconds, care. Its not his English that bothers me its the very clear and understandable reasons he tried to give. Is he on roids? Dont think so... but that does change the fact that he could not give a clear answer on why he would not take the test. im not talking bout his comprehendable english that YOU understand, but his own difficulty in completely understanding Kenny's english, therefore affecting his ability to properly answer his questions.

Pac got throughly owned.

I got alot of Filipino friends who tell me the worse thing about a Pac fight is the after fight interview. To them it is the most painful thing to see, because the guy simply can't comprehend English. I tried to give him props for trying to speak English instead of getting an interpreter, but they just get all embarrassed and they turn off the tv. The thought of Larry Merchant having a conversation with Manny Pacquiao is cringe-worthy.
