    Rolly likes fighting Grandpas for WBA titles.
    First Barroso and now Pacman.

      I'm taking a 2 point penalty and nullifying the " Island" enhancement from Sean Gibbons and Team Pacquiao for the Ice comment. Even though it was funny , it was a blatant and purposeful low blow.

        This is how you get a title these days.

        Either you can be good enough to earn it , or have the right promoter and the right management line up with the right sanctioning body at the right time and it will just fall into your lap.

          Manny could fight Usyk And you’ll still favor him to beat Usyk.
          How do I know this? Answer this question;
          In your opinion has Manny ever lost a fight?

            You should at least beat a guy who has fought @ 147, before they were in a title fight! Damn!

                The fix was in, in a way. Boxing is a business first and foremost. When you have a fighter of Pacquiao's drawing power, they would do everything in their power to keep the ball rolling and the money coming in. There isn't a current fighter who can make boxing the type of money that Pacquiao and Mayweather were making it when they were actively fighting. Therefore, why not bring back one of them and make fans spend their money once again like they use to.

                I don't have a problem with the way the fight ended. It makes total sense. Paquiao is a living legend of the sport. If Mario Barrios would have beaten him up or knocked him out, people would have hated him for doing so like they did Larry Holmes when he beat on Muhammad Ali. I truly believe that Barrios held back on purpose because he knew that he was in a lose lose situation. Now, everyone is talking about how good Paquiao did, and not hating on Barrios. Paquiao's next fight will bring in big money for boxing because he has a huge fan base who's happy that he's fighting again. This is how boxing, and big business, is done when you have someone who's considered a cash cow. It only makes sense and lots of money for everyone involved.

                  Rolly vs Paquiao would be huge business: The legend against the clown. Don't sleep on Rolly though; the man can fight, has heart, and is getting better, believe it or not. I believe that Rolly KO's this version of Paquiao. The man is a legend but he's too old to compete with a fighter of Rolly's youth and physical strength. I have Rolly by corner stoppage.

                    I disliked Rolly after the interview when he got that gift against Marinez. But TBH he has grown on me, I find him funny AF in a goofy way.I respect him for the simple fact that he is not anywhere near the most talented fighter but he is about to get another payday . The guy has headlined main events w/ Tank, Ryan, and now possibly PAC …

                      Damn you really dislike Manny why would they throw a 46 year old in there w/ a prime Boots ?? There is a reason they picked Barrios he was “safe” , same w/ Rolly he is “safe”.
