Fair play
MANNY Pacquiao scored a quick knockdown against the Foul Mayweathers recently.
Pacquiao, who has been the favorite target of boxing’s favorite loudmouths, wrote in his column that you don’t have to trash talk to sell a fight.
Everybody knows trash talking is the middlename of the Mayweathers.
And it seems, it’s also the only way they know to sell a fight.
“Pinatunayan natin na mas popular at mas sinubaybayan ang aming laban ni Cotto kahit na wala sa aming dalawa ang naging maya**** o nag-ingay upang maibenta lang namin ang show,” Packy wrote.
Got that Foul Mayweathers?
Pacquiao and Cotto didn’t trash talk each other.
They didn’t insult each other.
Sure, the trainers got into the act, but the fighters didn’t.
And what happened?
More people saw the fight, more people bought PPVs.
And another one-two punch, “Bagkus, naibalik namin ang magandang imahen ng boksing bilang isang gentleman’s sport.
Malaking papuri at pasasalamat ko kay Miguel Cotto sa pagiging maginoo niya kahit sa gitna ng pagkatalo.”
I could provide a translation for the Mayweathers, but what’s the use?
In their twisted minds, only they matter in the sport.
And nobody else.
They’d even probably say Pacquiao’s pen—or PC—was on steroids when the column was written.
trans: we were able to bring back the good image of boxing as a gentleman's sport.
trans: i'd like to thank mr. cotto for being such a great guy and a gentleman in defeat.
