Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Signs With Rizin, Announces Exhibition Fight in 2023

Wait, wasn't he against this when Floyd was doing it?

Maybe, but everyone has ideals until they’re shown the money.

That’s why I don’t care about anyone making money from exhibitions, fighting YouTubers and that stuff. It’s easy for us to be noble and have “respect for the sport” when we’re not the one with big money offers on the table.

If we were, we would be grabbing the nearest pen to sign the contract. Just like Floyd and Manny.

At least Floyd is clear about it though, he’s doing it for money and says it how it is. Who wouldn’t in their shoes? A few million here and there for having a move around the ring against some Japanese kick-boxers. Nice work if you can get it. Nobody has to stop making money just because they retired from pro boxing.

I don't care if people want to see him fighting on exhibition fights but he was critical when others were doing it. Just pointing out how hypocrite he is because when the money comes rolling in the opinions changes.

It's amazing how anti exhibition threads have become extinct
The hypocrites have gone underground, under a rock, into a cave.
Will only appear when it's time to buy them tickets

Pac Bois have no shame

You've got to be foolish to hold flippant speech so accountable, people change their minds and views constantly, general conversational words are not meant to be engraved in stone.

Either both Floyd and Pac are hypocrites - or both are not. Each or us is allowed to view what they say as negative or just off the wall. You chose what to like or dislike about what someone say, that is everyone's prerogative. I dislike when someone insults someone else and then does the same thing they insulted that person for. Many people feel the same as I do. Simple as that.

Prior to Pac joining the exhibition club, these ''fights'' were universally regarded as trash.
Now that Pac is doing it, there's a different spin to it.
Boxing fans have too many double standards.

Which is the same as Floyd fans getting on Pac's case for fighting Catchweights but when Floyd did it, not a negative word toward Floyd. Both examples are double standards based entirely on bias.

Pac why? honestly i dont think they will be anywhere near as popular the whole lure of Floyd doing exhibitions was hoping that he would lose from a miracle 1/1000000 punch.

Pac has already lost multiple times and been knocked out cold plus he wasnt hated like Floyd was.

Why switch topics ?
This isn't even the same argument.
Like I said before, these ''shows'' were UNIVERSALLY panned.
Not one MFer thought these were a good idea.

NOW that Pac is doing it, fans have to go back in time to justify the hypocrisy

What's next ?
Pac fights Logan P and it will be the best shlt that ever happened in boxing.

You responded to my post which talked about both Pac and Floyd and hypocrisy of fans. I don't justify the hypocrisy of either which is why I specifically said both Floyd and Pac are wrong and anyone who justifies one and not the other is biased for obvious reasons.

[BodyBagz]

You responded to my post which talked about both Pac and Floyd and hypocrisy of fans. You can easily ignore that but I'm not going to.

I'm sure there is more double talk that came out of both of their mouths than CWs.
Wanna dig those bones up too ?

Not sure which camp you favor (I'm sure you're 'neutral')
It's perfect timing for Pac's BS to be ignored, if not rallied for.

I guess we won't be seeing ''Exhibition fights suck.'' threads anymore
