because he speaks English well and he speaks his mind in interviews.....if he keeps winning. Pac is exciting in the ring, but boring out of it. Donaire is his own man and was willing to tell his father to f**k off. Pac doesn't do anything without conferring with someone.
Does everybody in the Phillipines do Karaoke?
No racist, just an honest question...
Pretty much. My best friend owned 4 karaoke stand(its about the size of an old arcade game, karaoke with its own tv). He rents it out and almost every week have a customer.
Seems alot like the words of someone that made a very bold statement was called out on it I made a simple opinion and you started going on about PayPal bets as if this thread was important enough to bet money over. Not once have I made a statement guaranteeing anything, but only stated the possibilities. It was on you to get all butt-hurt.
I never meant to hurt you. lol
There may be other options in a few more years. Oscar is almost done as an option to fight for anyone. Time is on the side of youth.
Of course Oscar is done. Without Oscar, Pacquiao would not be half the superstar he is today. For Donaire to even be what Pacquiao was before the Oscar fight he needs to hurry up and move to feather and get big fights with a few of the top guys(Juanma, Gamboa, Ponce and John)
So the dictionary definition wrote the thread? All I asked was who wrote Donaire may ultimately be a bigger star than Pac?I gave you a vapid answer to a insipid question. You seriously can't tell who the OP is? lol
Well, I'm going to be honest. At 28 years old and 118 pounds, Donaire's going to have a hard time selling himself to the American public. Even though Manny doesn't speak English well, his story sold well to the American crowd. (A Filipino born in poverty and climbed up the weights to beat Oscar De la Hoya and becomes a Congressman).
What you need to understand is non of that stuff will make you a superstar bneating Oscar De La Hoya doesThere may be other options in a few more years. Oscar is almost done as an option to fight for anyone. Time is on the side of youth.
Man, are you addicted to gambling or something? We aren't even predicting that it will happen. All we are saying is if Donaire is marketed right and things fall into place, the fact that he is an American citizen, knows American culture, speaks fluent English would help him become a bigger superstar than Manny. I don't know why it's so hard to understand that those things mentioned would really appeal to American fight fans.

There has always been interest in the lower weights in Latin American. There won't ever be that kind of interest in the US thoughNever say never. Back in the 90's I would've agreed with you. Along with the growth in internet came access to boxing names and fights some fans never heard of. I never was interested in any weight class less than welter. Now I watch flyweights and don't get excited over the heavies as much as before.
I see you really don't want to bet and ok I'll drop it I get you don't trust what you wrote. But answer me this who said Donaire may ultimately be a bigger star than Pac?
may1
vb past might (takes an infinitive without to or an implied infinitive used as an auxiliary)
1. to indicate that permission is requested by or granted to someone he may go to the park tomorrow if he behaves himself
2. (often foll by well) to indicate possibility the rope may break he may well be a spy
3. to indicate ability or capacity, esp in questions may I help you?
4. to express a strong wish long may she reign
5. to indicate result or purpose: used only in clauses introduced by that or so that he writes so that the average reader may understand
6. another word for might1
7. to express courtesy in a question whose child may this little girl be?
be that as it may in spite of that: a sentence connector conceding the possible truth of a previous statement and introducing an adversative clause be that as it may, I still think he should come
come what may whatever happens
that's as may be (foll by a clause introduced by but) that may be so
Usage: It was formerly considered correct to use may rather than can when referring to permission as in: you may use the laboratory for your experiments, but this use of may is now almost entirely restricted to polite questions such as your analysis may have been more more credible if … is generally regarded as incorrect, might being preferred: your analysis might have been more credible if …
True, but I meant popular Oscar caliber opponents to fight in the lower weights. I see a gradual change in boxing though. The heavies have lost shine. The lower weights are getting lots of notice and the growing purses have gotten more people interested in fighting at the lower weights than ever before.

The Oscar thing is a problem but we don't know what will happen in the sport in 3 or 4 years. Maybe a new star emerges or Donaire moves up far enough to JWW to fight Khan, Pacquaio or gets JMM or something(far fetched I know). We really don't know what will happen. What I do know is we should not be questioning or calling it crazy for Donaire to move up. A few years ago you would of been laughed at if you said Pacquaio would be fighting near the 154 lb mark. Main point being is if Donaire gets in the right situation the intangibles are there to make him a superstar and he would translate much better as a superstar than Manny. Manny is a superstar because of what he strictly did in the ring. Nonito can be a star because of what he does in the ring and that Americans can relate better to him.Dude stop it. You're making too much sense. :fing02:
Who started the thread? Who said Donaire may ultimately be a bigger star than Pac? Who is now backing away from his words?
I'll give you a hint it rhymes with shmoyboy
What does this thread have to do with betting you? Now you've got my name in your sig? lmao
Its not about weight class Oscar is probable one of the top 3 or 4 biggest stars in boxing historyTrue, but I meant popular Oscar caliber opponents to fight in the lower weights.

You never know man. If Nonito starts to accomplish a lot.. Who knows.. He might say **** it and try the impossible. Just hire a great strength and conditioning coach and i'm sure he will move up in weight great with the right time.
You never know! He can unify in whatever division he wants.. He can try that, and move up in the process. The options are there.
He's going to be a big star among boxing fans (In the boxing community) but as far as him being a well known name outside of boxing....No I don't think so. A bigger star than Pac? That's insane to think that. Most casual fans don't give a damn about these smaller guys. It's not easy to market a grown man who weighs 118 pounds. How far up in weight can he go and be successful.
You make some good points. Time will tell. Kid Chocolate is pretty inactive. Dude have any fights scheduled yet?
Probably right. Not many Oscar De La Hoya's in the lower weight classes. The good thing for Donaire is he can become "Oscar" of the light weights.
Its not about weight class Oscar is probable one of the top 3 or 4 biggest stars in boxing history
