Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Takes a Swipe at Mayweather, Not Concerned if He Helps Spence

[Fighter78]

Pacquaio surpassed Mayweather with the Thurman win

I love Pacquiao and I'm picking him to win this fight but EVERYONE needs to block this troll above.

Some stuff is just plain ******.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Floyd could come back tomorrow and beat the spit outta Spence...or porter....or Broner......or Danny Garcia....or "sumtime" Thurman.....or.....

Now Crawford is a wildcard.

The delusion on here sometimes is 2funny

The hate for Floyd is unbelievable. Floyd retired from boxing with all his faculties intact. He walked away from the sport on his own terms. He no longer has the desire to dedicate himself to training, he's in his mid 40s. Floyd is staying true to himself. He knows he can't deal with the young lions in the sport. What is the problem with that? He knows, or knew he still had the skills to beat people who aren't on his level, meaning Conor, the Asian kid and the Paul kid. All he knows is fighting. He can't do anything else. Why not make money when the opportunity presents itself? Yeah, he might not need the money, but it's there for him to take. Why not?

One why not answer is: because it opens the door on Pacquaio saying what he says in this article. All Pac is doing is recounting the facts.

Floyd has done what he wanted to do and that was obviously his choice. But when Floyd fights a you tuber and Pac fights the unified champ, it's not hate for Pac to say Floyd fought a you tuber and I'm fighting the unified champ. That's just listing what is going on in the world.

No its not its a backhander, and in that it's BS from Manny because he owes Floyd so much of his fame without Floyd he wouldn't be anywhere near as big as he is. Floyd is retired he did the real thing beating everyone including Manny he can fight a kangaroo if he wanted to, Manny cant talk after signing to fight McGregor that just shows how backflipping Manny can be and then make out how righteous he is.

I think floyd is giving spence some advice on how to use an IV so that spence can freely use the PEDS and also pass the test with flying colors but the problem is VADA will NEVER allow the use of IV.

Pacquaio surpassed Mayweather with the Thurman win

Even after the gift win in 2015 of floyd he never surpassed pac and now pac is miles ahead but if floyd came back and beat canelo at 168lbs and become a champion at 175lbs then i think floyd can equal pac.

"He’s fighting with a YouTuber just to earn money." Fact.
"And I’m fighting the best to add to my legacy, so that’s different." Is it the same? Clearly not. Another fact.
"To fight an easy opponent for the money or to fight one of the best to add to your legacy. It’s different." This is true. It's so obviously true, it's trivial. Flloyd fought you tuber boy for the money. He didn't take it for legacy reasons. Pacquaio is fighting Spence because he hopes to add to his legacy. Who is diagreeing with any of this?

The point still stands. All Pacquaio is doing is recounting facts.

Your stuff about Pacquiao's fame being derived from Floyd might be true, it might not. But what does it have to do with the point being discussed? Pacquaio made some inarguable statements. Don't try and reframe the argument by drawing in contentious points that are nothing to do with it.
