Good move by Fox putting this Presser on their big Network. Wasn't a explosive Presser or anything, very classy and respectful

"There was a lot of opportunity to pick a much easier fight than compared to Errol Spence. I decided to pick Errol Spence because... I want a real fight."
He was signed to fight McGregor,
Arum would not pay him 40 mill he demanded for TC
Spence was the last cab of the rank and Manny took 5 mill.
Its not as Holy as people try to make out, its calculated and other avenues were sort first Errol was the last choice not the first.

And I don't fault him at all for wanting an infinitely easier payday in McGregor. Especially at his age. I didn't fault Floyd for it either.

Spence is looking in good shape. This is a real big ask for Manny at this stage in his career, he is a master at his trade and he his natural talent and experience is enough to still roll over a Thurman or who ever but Spence is a stretch, he is a real good fighter and its not just the size advantage and youth but he's got the brains to make sure he uses those advantages as much as he can.
I just can't see Manny winning this.

Its all ended up back at Errol which is a great fight, Im just say the path wasn't as straight down the gun barrel as they try to make out now.
