I was rewatching Pac destroying Hatton today. Great fight by Pac.
I realized than at the end when Hatton is out, a guy from HBO is literally running in the ring, tells Pacquiao to get down on his knee and pray so his colleague from HBO can film him.
You can see it at 31min55

Seriously I knew that HBO has always glorified Pac but I didnt think they were that desperate to create that good praying guy image. Is that the only fight they did that ?
ahahah I've always been paranoid and see things like that.
Also the Floyd-Merchant beef looked really fake to me, at exactly 2min10 you can see Schaeffer giving a head up to Floyd to begin his rant against Merchant. Schaffer really seems to say :"go say it that's the time now"

I was being sarcastic. This has been discussed many times before.
And it really doesn't matter. All these guys are concerned with their image. Its why Manny has to be told to pray after a win and Floyd pays women to hang around him after all the gay rumors and flaunts money everyone knows he won't have a few years after retirement.
Yeah. Im sure Mike raped and floyd beat women so that they'll stay in character.:blackeye:
People put on masks when the cameras come on because images sell pretty well in America. Even if the guy didnt tell him to do the praying thingy.. More likely then not, Pac knows its important for his image to come off as humble and religious.
Floyd does the same thing with his smack talking, money flashing. Just like how Mike did with his scary/intimidating character. Im sure when you talk to them one on one, theyre all pretty chill guys. Except Tyson, that dude seems to pop off when people least expect it. Lol
Nobody is perfect, and were all human. don't pretend like Pacquiao is above it all.
Not... Sure... If... Serious...
I know this forum was made to read, share, news and debate about boxing related topics. But did you just seriously quoted me to highlight that I was wrong about a KO being a TKO? Who cares, I call a KO a TKO and a TKO a KO all the time. Whether it's technically or literally a KO, everyone knows what the meaning of it is.
Yeah. Im sure Mike raped and floyd beat women so that they'll stay in character.:blackeye:
yeah i believe so too, Floyd has to beat up women just for the evil agenda
The HBO guy did not tell him to kneel in the corner you idiots.
Buboy lifted pacquiao up, the HBO guy told him and pac to stop doing it since hatton might be dead. Pac then went on the corner and did his jesus thing.
These guys.... :lol1:
That's not what it looked like. Pacquiao reacted pretty quick, like he remembered something that was talked about before the fight, in case he wins, what he should do for the camera.
Manny responded real quick too lol.
It's no secret that at the time Manny was a complete badass behind the scenes.
It was a very good win though, I predicted Hatton would win. Manny gets his props for that TKO.

It suits HBO's agenda of good vs evil, when in reality PAC and Floyd were living very similar lifestyles gambling, spending lavishly, womanizing etc..
**** PAC may have been living even more out of line with what the bible preaches than Floyd with the drinking/drugging.
They did the same with Holyfield and the religious BS ... Evander was the squeaky clean god fearing man and Mike was a savage thug. When in reality Evander was living like a rock star too.

Pretty lame. I dont care to get worked up over stuff like this though.
That video tripped me out though, I though Hatton was about to get CPR. I was like holy ****, never saw this part. Right at the start of the video when Bayless puts his hand on him, for a brief second it looks like his hands are in the chest compression position.
The swiftness of that KO distracted everyone from what the OP pointed out. This the 1st time he kneeled to pray in the ring?

Lmao... Fake arse religious BS as always....
lol yeah... always fake that youre a religious person so people will assume your a good person. It's nothing new here, pretty much all politicians do the same thing lol
