Why does Pacquiao get a pass fighting Valero as P4P

[Vasyl’s dad]

his problem has nothing to do with manny or valero.

his problem is his daddy retired from boxing and he has nothing to talk about.

Right on the button.

Everyone in his division is fighting, and I'd much rather him be active. I hate when fighters arent active. **** kills me.

the guy is fighting THREE times this year.

1st fight was #1 and #2 SFW for the ring belt.

2nd fight was at a higher weight class against 1 of the 3 beltholders in the division.

3rd fight is against a champion at SFW and easy Top 3-4 in that division.

i think manny is doing okay satisfying his fans......

Boxing is ****ed up. It's run more like a business than a sport. Bad **** for fans. This is because the board of control, multiple rankings, promoters etc are all seperate and regulated independently. People will therefore only look after their vested interests rather than the sport. It is not the same in other major sports, eg. FIFA and it's affiliated FA's control and award things in football and have rules on how leagues promote the sport in a fair manner.

There aren't any good opponents at the moment as they're fighting eachother.

There aren't any good opponents at the moment as they're fighting eachother.

considering guzman , marquez , casamayor , campbell , diaz and katsidis are all fighting each other......

valero or soto is pretty good considering this is his 3rd fight this year.

it's not like manny only fights once a year and his choice was valero.

if by the end of next year he hasn't fought any of the 6 i named above......then we can whine a bit.

Anyone who looks at the ratings and a boxing schedule would find this indisputable. It seems they would rather have Pacquiao just wait around instead of fighting the dangerous Valero. That sure doesn't make any sense to me.

[Fenom]

His division is loaded and he just had a dominate performance! Why is there not uproar about his "handpicking"?

Probably because in his last 5 fights he fought and beat 3 1st ballot Hall of Famers.........i think hes earned the right to let a contender get a shot

because there all busy hating on a retired Mayweather

because there all busy hating on a retired Mayweather

very true.

it's a lot of fun.

[Allucard]

why don't you complain if 3-4 years go by and manny still hasn't fought a #1 or #2 at lightweight?

how long ago did floyd jump to 147 and fought sharmba mitchell?

who has he fought since then? refresh my memory.

Oscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton are two bigger guys than him. Stop bashing the greatest modern fighter ever and one of the great ones of all time. They only come around once in like 20 years and he's retired, so stfu please. Thank you.
