JMM is just too old now. I love the guy and i think he won at least one of the fights they had but now with him moving up in weight, age factor and that disgraceful "tune up" he had the other day, i don't see much of a chance. He will loose this one. He might catch Pac here and there with his counter punching but like others have said, he will be too slow. I think that it is time for him to hang it up after this fight if he loses.
Hanging it up is the reason Marquez wants to fight Pac. It's a win win for Marquez, if he wins he gets to prove he's a better boxer plus biggest payday of his life and if he loses, he still get's the biggest payday of his life before retirement.
That's just if the People's Champ cares more about the people than money, as his fans like to crucify Floyd for
I mean, really... It ain't like he's got nothing to fall back on if he loses... He's an elected congressman
Also, his fan base is so loyal, I doubt losing will completely deteriorate his ability to make money from facing other opponents...
Sure he has the potential to make more money, but really, their isn't that much difference between 40% and 50%.... I mean there is, but there isn't...
And lets not even talk about what happens if he wins
He can fight Victor Ortiz, or Andre Berto, or Amir Khan, or Canelo Alvarez (All winnable, 2 out of 4 r un-loseable and make the difference in a single night.
Seriously... At this point, he should just take what's being offered, fight, and call it a night
Floyd's stubborn and doesn't care if the fight does or doesn't happen (apparently)... Pac supposedly does... Make it happen anyway u can
I know Pactards are gonna cry about this, but what's to cry about?? Don't u guys want to see the fight... None of you get any of the money Manny makes anyway, so why does it matter to u??
Problem is not the difference between 40%&50%, It's the $40M guaranteed to Pac and 0% revenue.
Interestingly Max Kellerman scored it a draw, and IIRC, he scored the previous two fights for Marquez, make of that what of you will.
Close fight, but the one's who are shouting robbery, i really have no time for. Many of you just have a predetermined thought process.
Dude, What do you expect from these people? They just don't know how to add and subtract.
Crab mentality? did you even read his articles? He was a boxing fan of luisito espinosa and gerry penalosa. he is not an exclusive pacman fan like you and the rest of the pacquiao mafia.
He is not being a crab he is being objective and fair.
Fair? So, In your eyes is not fair for Pac to win a close fight?
fight was only close up to round 8. pac won the last 4 rounds and won a commanding 116-112 decision.
not as big as his first win but bigger than his 2nd
To be honest initially I thought it was a draw or even Marquez winning. But, after I re watch the fight It was clear Pac really won. Not a robbery just like what these people are saying.
yer sir. born and raised in the PI, as a matter of fact im yet to step out of Philippine soil
Are you butt hurt because you are one of those who questioned him winning? Tama si Pac parang di ka Pinoy! Hindi ka na lang maging masaya sa tagumpay ng isang close fight that can go either way. I bet you did not even right anything good about him easily beating the other opponents. When can we get rid of crab mentality?
Filipino fans not agreeing with the decision doesnt make them less Filipino. dont you think?
That is not what he was trying to imply. It's like common thing you hear in PI "Why can't you just be happy? Parang di ka naman tropa". I'm sure you heard that a lot of times in PI. It doesn't make you less of a friend? He just want you to be happy for him.
ts is also entitled to his opinion so why are you questioning his residency and birth place because he has his own opinions? you are a crab
Jumping to conclusion!!! tsk tsk tsk.. Just want to know because some sentence or words comes out differently, depends on where you came from.
thought it was me lol. thanks man
im a known pacquiao fan around these parts, some even call me a pactard. when pac said that sh1t, it cant help it but do a face palm :pat:
Were you born and raised in the Phil?
uhmm, wheres the sign of getting butthurt of him winning? you need to read the article again. thanks
You are butthurt because you are one of those fans Pac was referring to when he said " Get real and Be Filipino". ! You guys are trying to put too much on what he said. All he was saying was "As a filipino, Why can't you just be happy for me winning close fight".
crab mentality? nagsasabi lang siya nang walang bias. ako ipinanganak, lumaki, at nagkaroon nang pamliya sa pinas pero tama si bowsing jm1. ang sinabi ni pac is subject sa interpretasyon. ano ba ibig sabihin nang sinabi ni pac? yun lang bang paging pinoy is enough justification para hindi sya questionin? :). Nah. It is simply not enough because this is a boxing match. as pinoy, supportado natin sya sa lahat nang laban pero hindi dapat tayo bulag na lang at tatangapin na lang kung ano man ang sinabi nya. I doubt na binasa mo ang article, ang main gist nito is hindi kung sino sa tingin nya ang nanalo or natalo, it's more on a critic to pac's comments. Imo, it is a healthy criticism.
Healthy criticism? I say twisted criticism. Alam mo kung ano ang tunay na ibig sabihin ni Pac. Wrong context ang dating and now people are comparing it to what Mayweather said. And when you say bulag, Do you really think na natalo siya sa laban na ito? This is a close fight that could go either way, now malaki talaga ang gap and then niluto talaga ng malinaw then ibang usapan na yan. Ngayon close fight and naging laban at nanalo si Pac. Pwede ba na maging masaya kayo bilang isang pinoy? Well, I don't expect that from you guys kasi according to JM1 "Marquez was clear winner". JM1 salivates everytime na may negative issue regarding Pac. Tell me kung hindi crab yun?
If you're a tropa, does it mean you have to always hold your opinion to your friends?
Nope! But he was just asking and not forcing you to change whatever opinion you have.
not after 3 that jmm won. im not filipino or mexican but jmm won all of them, all 3 fights.
In my opinion Pac clearly won the first figth, 2nd Marquez was up by a point after 8th, then pac took 9,10,11. 12th goes to Marquez. Pac just edge him out by a point. btw, I gave Marquez one rnd that can go either way. 3rd It was not impressive win but, pac won more rnds.
with all due respect...
it's pinoys like yourself which makes pinoys like the rest of us look bad.
the guy stated his opinion in a well written piece and this is all you have to say?
tsk tsk tsk.
tsk tsk tsk! I am entitled to my opinion just like everyone else. Its a good article I must admit. However, the article is putting too much on what Pac said. Is Pac all of a sudden became a racist?
PBF clearly won the fight! But, DLH was right, If he didn't pressed, there is no fight.... This fight didn't lived up to the expectation. NOT WORTH PAY PER VIEW!!
this fight than his last fight?
Or was he forced to fight slower because of Solis' height advantage?
IMO, I don't think he's slower, Solis was just moving his head a lot and Manny needs to adjust so he can hit Solis with good clean punches.
That's why more then 60% of the media and fans thought Marquez won...
Anyway, for the Mayorga DLH presser they were still clowning on Mayorga for the Tito fight..
Every time I see Roger Mayweather I yell.. Watch out black mamba!! It's Chavez!!!
Who cares about the media! You'll even get 100% if you were to ask Pac haters. Learn to accept the defeat! It's been how many months already? Get over it!!
Yeah I seen him wrap...he was like
"Dibby dibby daz, I'm gonna rock Diaz....Dibby dibby doo, I'm coming for you!!! Hoooooo..yo yo yo...."
wrapping not rap
