Here in America, they put on a show where Pacquiao is like a god over there, but try to go to the Philippines and you'll find out that a lot of people make fun of him and a lot even hate him. It's just that they support him when he fights and want him to win because he's a Filipino. And also, to top it off, only a little percentage of politicians over there actually supports Pacquiao. Most just wants the money and fame to be with him, a good example would be that Chavit Singson guy. That dude just wants the money. He has the background of doing it.

      True True. I think the real reason behind it is because of Sr.'s antics. I actually think its funny, but a lot of die hard fans of those that got insulted hate him to death. And also, no one can change the fact that Sr. got caught with ******* in laundry detergent boxes. I think that's why they call him a lot of names.
      I'm not saying Sr isn't a foolish man and crazy...but all he did was state an opinion and people want to sue him. Also your right Floyd Sr did do those things but he owns up to them served his time and moved on. Would Sr's actions be worse than actually cheating to gain an advantage and possibly hurt someone? This is America and flat out slandering someone is not nearly as criminal here as using illegal drugs to hurt someone for millions of dollars, at best Sr hurt only himself and didn't get nearly that much money while involved with illegal drugs? Fact is it's still a free country and we can say whatever we want for whatever reason whenever we want and every man woman and child is entitled to form whatever opinions they choose.

      Sorry this got side tracked but honestly I didn't know Manny had so little education until you said so and it made me think of the stuff about that was said about Sr based on his opinion and alot of people were using his not finishing highschool as a means to humiliate the man for stating an opinion, when in reality the people that were making the argument were doing so to defend a man with less education, it just seems like a conflict of interest to me. Then when Manny refused the test altogether it made Sr look even more right somehow too.

                I blame both Mayweather and Pacquiao for the fallout of their fight. I don't think they wanna fight each other, like they're scared that if they lose to the other, they would be ranked lower in the atg list. I dunno, thats what I believe in. If Mayweather wanted to face Pacquiao, then he shouldn't have asked for the drug test, but at the same time, if Pacquiao wanted to face Mayweather, then he should've taken the drug test. But s**t, make that fight happen for the good of boxing. We need it to define our era in boxing history.

                  The only hw title I can see EX winning is from Toney, I think the nabo or ibo belt If he wants to "add to legacy".he doesn't want to fight bad Chad , none of the real HW's will give him a real look,even though haye is gbp. He "avenged" the Roy loss, just retire hop.

                    Schaefer made his comments in the heat of the moment, right after seeing Hopkins collapse in the locker room and get taken to the hospital. Bernard is overreacting.

                    But like the article says, if he wants to go then go. Nobody is paying for another B-Hop PPV anyway after that stinker of a fight.

                      B-Hop sounding a little senile lol saying everybody wants to get him out of the sport...naw but Hopkins is gonna keep doing his thing nobody is going to convince him to leave the sport before he chooses to. He's like that old ass working class dude who refuses to quit working at the steel mill lol. He kinda reminds me of peter griffin's dad on family guy.
