Never seen a star athlete ASK for support due to Race or Nationality

I respect your opinion EJ, but I can only judge by what I see. Disgrace may be a bit harsh, but he has a lot of work to do before my opinion of him rises outside the ring.

im not here to change youre opinion, i just think disgrace is too harsh. hes a functioning member of society, hes had his run-ins with the law, but hes always cooperative and hes there for his kids, you cant ask much more than that.

You know what? You're right. I don't like the way he conducts business nor his personality. But disgrace is probably not the right word. For all his short comings he does seem to always be there for his kids. For that I can respect him as a man, no matter how else I may feel about other parts of his life. Disgrace was the wrong word on my part.

Please, very non-few Pinoys are actually fans of Pacman. They like the guy and support him. But for Pinoy boxing fans Pacman is all they got

You're off, buddy. I've been to two PAC fights, I've dropped by the WCG when he trained there.

And I'm tellin' ya', judging from the crowds that visit him at the WCG and at the fights. Back then, from what I saw, you're right, he only had a handful of non-Pinoy fans, but these days, his fanbase has gone beyond the Filipino community.

When I first saw PAC live for his second fight against Erika, it was overwhelmingly a Filipino crowd and a handful of non-Pinoys. But, for the Hatton fight, you'd be surprise bro.

I mean, HB* only commented on how many Brits there were. But, I was a bit surprised myself, at the amount of non-Pinoys who were there for PAC. The white folks who I thought were British, were actually Americans who were there for PAC, lmao. And, even more surprising to me, were the amount of Mexican fans who showed up to root for PAC, a few even had PAC shirts on, I'm dead serious!!

They said that the Brits outnumbered the Pinoys(TRUE). they forgot about the Blacks, whites and others who showed up to support PAC!! I would know, I was there and I myself was surprised!

His fanbase is much diverse today, there's a significant difference between the PAC crowds pre Diaz compared to now!

It's a poor excuse to use, if you're sayin' that the major reason for Mo**ey Mayweather's low fanbase is because boxing is a niche sport in America, well, it's been that way for a long f**kin' time!

It was already a niche sport when De La Joto came on the scene, he did not seem to have an issue with having a low fanbase. Hell, in De La Joto's time, Jordan was the king of b-ball, NFL you had the Emmitt Smith, John Elways, etc.. But, DLH didn't have an issue with having a low fanbase.

So, what's Floyd's excuse?

Let me say it for the last time.
Pacman is the only decent athlete the Philippines produced and yet people question if he is even natrual

Look what Americans have
Williams Sister
Lebron
Kobe
Tiger Woods
Athletics stars
and many others

Lolz. If you follow billiards or bowling, you would find the most recognized GOAT of those sports are Efren "Bata" Reyes and Paeng Nepomuceno. Go look them up so you could nitpick something about them.

[tibbar]

And now you claim to be half black

This does have to do with which country produced more stars. Since Phillipines only have Pacman they will support him like crazy, since he is there everything. While Americans have variety of talent and don't carry a single person to be there country's pride

nope i disagree, it has nothing to do with americans having variety of talented athletes to carry as reps of the country, whats being discussed is about this fight. it has something to do who floyds opponent is, a filipino who is loved by his countrymen, since floyd is an american he wanted to turn it into a nationality contest. maybe because of envy, he always wanted to be as charismatic as pacman, in fact he idolizes him. when he came back from "retirement" he made himself be called "money", thats doublespeak, it pertain to his fondness of the green bucks and most of all the fondness for manny. he wanted that when people talk about manny pacquiao it will sound like talking about him, money mayweather. he wants to be manny too thats why instead of being the same "manny" he switched to money. he prolly been thinking of attaching the monicker pacman to that to become money pacman but it will become very obvious, so instead of really changing his name to sound like manny pacman and telling people to call him that way, he choose to act in a way for people to get it and call him in similar sounding name of "money duckman", now he wants his countrymen to support him too like those of the real pacman.

he doesn't even pay taxes to the US. he only came out of retirement to make mobey cause he would have lost a lot of assets. if he can for boing fans, he would have not retired and fought for legacy from 3 years back

i think i need to get used to these walls of text filled with nonsense over the next few months.

[shogunn]

Good lord you incredibly ****** and uninformed.

Ever hear of Anthony Munoz? Hall of Fame
Max Montoya? 4 Time Pro Bowler
Tom Flores? only 1 of 2 men to win championship rings as a player, assistant and head coach.
Joe Kapp? First minority QB to lead a team to the Super Bowl.
Jim Plunkett? Champion.


Can't stand you little don't know **** about **** ****heads.

wow, I missed him say this. I cant believe he said first decent Mexican NFL'r, and he's a rookie. I dont know any Mexicans who support Sanchez yet. But Munoz is regarded as one of the best tackles, EVER

bernard hopkins: floyd's a disgrace to the black race, when they get gloves and lace, he wil taste a right straight to the face, pacquiao will make a case, that hes the number 1 ace. ill never lose to a white man

[RightCross94]

LOL

The vast majority of Manny's fans are Filipinos who only like him because he's all their country has.
