Manny Pacquiao No-Show Angers Ambassador Gusi

[MaynMan]

he meant "embrace his ass" and yes i'm pretty sure that's what pbf's doing come fight night.

Bwahahahahaha!

Sorry I had the info wrong, should have read the article. The Gusi Award mwas inaugurated 22 years ago.

I also see from the report that Manny pulled out one of his "humble, and gratified" little megillahs.

I'd bet money that he has had a list of these comments and replies written out for him and he's practiced what to say. Until lately, Manny has never shown any of the verbal slickness that these answers imply and with his background would never even remotely think of using the words that he spills out at every 0opportunity.

Just goes to show that the award is not as important as it pretends to be dude. Look, you had to research for it in order to find out what it's all about. And then you even got important information wrong.

Just give it up, man. I am Filipino, a professional living in Makati. Read the local papers. Nobody gives a **** about this. Nobody even mentioned this.

Taking cheap shots is typical behavior of a loser who cannot counter your argument. Out of everything I said, you took one word, "overrated" and chose to make an issue out of it. My post was about the hypocrisy that exists between the dimwitted haters on this site, not about Pac being overrated. Clowns like you have been calling Mayweather overrated since you started following boxing six months ago. You have criticized him for everything except wearing the wrong color tie. Yet when Pacquaio is called out for his behavior, you ignore it and make an issue out of the word "overrated", when you and the other haters on this site have been saying much worse about Floyd.

I give credit where credit is due. Pacquaio has accomplished a lot of things in his career, but I am no more impressed by his victories over an over-the-hill De La Hoya and a past his prim Cotto than you and the others haters on this site are about Mayweather's accomplishments. I don't even know why I waste my time responding to ******s like you. However, I wll not waste that time in the future.

Your the ****** if you ask me...first of all...some of us MAYWEATHER haters never discredit how skilled of a boxer he is, but he does seem to cherry pick opponents....(he should have fought MOSLEY instead of MARQUEZ) Second of all is ignorant comments after PACQUIAO destroys an opponent that MANY DOUBTER ANS HATERS pick to win against PACQUIAO...Before the DLH fight, many says that DLH will beat the **** out of him...before the HATTON fight its different..HATTOn is not gonna be dehydrated and is a great body puncher...COTTO is a much bigger welterweight and will destroy PACQUIAO...cmon already...now COTTO is past his prime...are your that ****in ******...he had the size advantage, he was one yr younger, had half an inch arm length advantage, and one and a half inch in high advantage, but yet PACQUIAO prove all the doubters and haters wrong again...EXCUSES AFTER EXCUSES of ******s like you is what pisses me off..you call all of us boxing fans the fast few months, well if you have been a boxing fan for a long time then you really haven't learned ****...cause you seem to pick against PACQUIAO and always wrong at your prediction...So you think about what you say about people not knowing **** about boxing, that they have only been a boxing fan for a year or two, but yet your the idiot that seem to get your prediction wrong...JUST SHUT THE **** UP

Give the guy a break, let him enjoy and have the cameras off for a second or two , lol.

Just becasue someone decides to give Pac an award he's obligated to show up? the fact that Gusi would not allow Koncz to accept it on his behalf shows that it wasn't about giving him the award but about Gusi luring to an event to show off his association with Pac in front of all his old rich friends. This guy was embarrased because he promised his friends a star and he couldn't deliver. If I was Pac I'd issue a statement saying: 'Ambassador Gusi can suck my National Fist!"

What the heck! you give an award and talk like **** in front of many people is worst than not be able to attend the awarding itself. To ambassador Gusi, you can keep your award to yourself, you could have handled this better. It's only because it's Pacquiao that is why you're making it a big deal. I know it could have been different if it happened to the other awardees!

You guys are really talking a lot of nonsense. When these prizes are awarded, they contact the awardee first. And the Gusi Prize requires personal attendance.

Undoubtedly Manny accepted and said he'd be there to receive his award. ZI've read that he also gave his stock speech, that he was "humbled" by the recognition etc. You know the usual shtick he comes out with evey time he's complimented.

So, Mr. Gusi was understandable annoyed when Manny didn't show, and with no warning. Firstly it was a slap in the face against his parents for whose name he began the Foundation to continue their work, which doesn't only make awards, but does a lot of charitable work amongst the Philippino poor.

Who knows, maybe Manny was at a party, or involved with a game of pool, or something equally insignificant. He has a reputation for insulting people by his careless attitude.

I don't blame Ambassador Gusi for being annoyed. It was very offensive.

I don't blame Ambassador Gusi for being annoyed. It was very offensive.

And Manny would have been to blame if he had let it that way. But the arrogant Gusi went ahead and gave a hate-speech for Manny. WTF is that? Coming from a supposedly "peace" award?? The move is very uneducated and tactless.

Pac's been a no show for alot of functions lately, if you told him this was a catchweight bout he'd be there pronto.
