Pacquiao's Adviser Says "Mosley at 144 is Too Much"

[baracuda]

OK, so how come his advisor's keep speaking out instead of keeping
their mouths shut. If that's the practice then obviously Manny is
Cosigning it.

what good can advisers be if they keep their mouths shut?...sign language?

Absolutely. And if Manny wants to let them mouth off to the press without consulting with him first, that's his business. Having said that, it does make him look bad. And it made him look very bad when he let them negotiate a deal with Hatton without consulting him, and he then said no to the deal after it had already been agreed. But if that's the way he wants to do business, there's no law against it. And as I said, I suspect it's really just a cultural difference, and that things are much more relaxed in the Philippines than they are in the US or Europe. And anyway, he sees himself primarily as a boxer, not as a businessman.

tharrr you go, now you understand it. you can sleep better now?

yes it is unethical of Roach and Manny's advisors to do this. I agree that Mosley is a grown man and makes his own decisions at least now that he is divorced but imagine this scenario.

In Mosley's haste and desire to beat the p4p champ and achieve a higher status before his retirement he agrees to terms and the fight happens at 142. things go well in training and although it is very difficult Shane squeezes down to make weight. Problem is Mosley loses too much weight and leaves everything on the scale. Because of his big heart and solid chin he takes everything Pac has for 12 brutal one sided rounds but is too drained to fight back, too proud to quit. After the fight Mosley is rushed to the hospital and goes into a coma with cerebral edema, brain swelling, he never wakes up. What is your opinion of this scenario now?

Good post.

We have a winner!

How many times have the "advisor's" said, "144 is fine, Mosley is draining his body to make this fight happen, we are thankful he's willing to come down in weight at his age".

No, they say BS and the *******s make the excuses for their Hero/God/President.

Advisor's are supposed to advise not talk to the press because that's
Arum's job. He's the promoter. Promoter's promote and advisor's
advise. Bob Arum could have said what his advisor said to the press.
I'd rather be in contoll of all my business then leave it up to people
to **** it up.

But Manny feels differently about it from how you feel. It takes all sorts of people to make a world.

There you go. How can something that makes you and your team
look bad business wise be a good way in any race or ethnicity? A
man is going to do what he do but to say it is a smart way to do it
would be really over doing it. Mike Tyson himself as just a boxer
too and look what happened. Michael Jordan saw himself as an athlete
but he took care of his business and spoke for himself.

Because they don't want to be wrong and rather find some kind
of credence in this nonsense to back up their opinions.

From what I'm hearing on this thread, it is ok for this guy
Wakee to speak for Pacquiao so obviously it must be some
credence to it.
