Diaz vs Diaz... any pics???

[grayfist]

even during my childhood days i remember we had a good supply of FREE World Boxing Heavy Weight Championships from ALI to HOLMES to TYSON to LEWIS... the big guys GETS more attention...

Actually, I do not begrudge the airing of Heavyweight fights anywhere. I am even glad that these are aired free in PI. What I expressed surprise over was the sense of priorities of those who make decisions on which fights to broadcast. I would have thought that given the possibility of Pacquiao-Diaz (either Juan or Julio), it would have been a no brainer.

Oh, it's a competition ploy...

From what I see, buddy, I can't see how that can work well for ABS. Pacquiao is Pacquiao in the Philippines and nobody comes close. Holyfield is surely not the way to go to beat a Pacquiao in the ratings.

ABS appears to me like taking a Hail Mary swing. I doubt that it would land.

They would have had a better chance had they built up fights of Pacquiao's prospective opponents. They'll be indirectly using the Pacquiao name had they done that.

Not pretty clever, those high paid guys are, are they?

As for you guys taking over... Why don't you give it a serious thought? You cannot possibly do worse, buddy! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

I agree. Pac's previous fights were shown by ABS. The second and the third morales fights, the larios fight and the solis fight. Some how, ABS didn't want to pay more for the TV rights of the pac-mab rematch, which is owned by MP promotion, so GMA immediately grabbed the opportunity. maybe it's GMA move to show other big boxing fights that concern pac's future opponents while ABS show other big fights like the one they will showing tomorrow, that way pinoy boxing fans will be very happy. BTW, manny will have a reality TV show at GMA this coming november.

Ah, ok. But, just the same, I don't think it's a pretty smart move by ABS-CBN, pal. I won't be surprised if GMA gets to have huge ratings featuring Pacquiao's future opponents.

I am surprised why GMA missed Diaz vs. Diaz... They should have picked it up.

Anyway...Pacquiao hosting a reality show? He's a recording artist too, isn't he? The fella is going in every direction! Good for him! As long as it does not affect his fighting...

it looks like Baby Bull could drop extra 5 lbs and compete with Super Featherweighs...

He is busy with other stuff other than boxing. He is college student so it better to concentrate on tech and other stuff then dropping couple of pound.

Thats how he looks every fight. The guy just has like baby fat, that he will lose with maturity. He's only 24 after all, and an immature 24 at that.

This should be a TREMENDOUS fight, i cant wait

baby fat at 24?!?!

He is okay normal he doesnt gain that much and his muscle muscle is more for stamina.

fat is not forbodin sometimes it could help him absorb some of the bodyshots

I think Juan's earliest fights were in the jr. welterweight-welterweight classes?

also, juan doesn't run. He uses a stairmaster or other cardio equip.

I can't wait for this fight tonight!!!!

Juan by late round TKO, I don't think Julio can take the brutal pace that Juan will set!!
