(Barbershop talk) Pac lost some buzz after Clottey fight?

[flexxx145]

I Got my haircut yesterday and everyone knows I'm a boxing finatic. So I asked some of the casual fans here in Philly about Pacquiao and a lot of people have jumped ship or they are standing on the rail looking down at the water....

Some quotes that I recorded on my BBerry from a Philadelphia barbershop

Question: How do you feel about Pacquiao after that fight against Clottey at the cowboys stadium?

"Pacquiao is still good but I don't think he is fast enough to deal with Floyd. He couldn't even knock that big head dude out in that football stadium"

"I don't know man... I hope my boy didn't lose it because he looked awful last month. I went to buffalo wild wings to watch it and I was just drinking and talking to b****es after round 3."

"Aaaaaw man, Pac is still a machine. He is going to do what he gotta do. I just can't call it against somebody like Shane. F*** Floyd, I'm not even going to put him in the same sentence with my boy. But I do need to see a little bit more than 1200 punches.... **** 1200 connects would have been better"

"**** that junky. I told yall he can't even carry lil Floyds cup. Yall see that BS down in Dallas? (deepest laugh I ever heard)"

"I mean, he is 31 now... But win, lose or draw against somebody like Floyd he will go down as a legend"

"If he thinks throwing a million punches against Floyd will get him a W, you are a ****ing fool... 1200 thrown, 200 landed... **** is that even 20 percent?"

"**** all of yall, I will put everything I got on my dog Pacquiao over that lame ass ***** Floyd. He a sucker yo!"

"Manny Pacquiao is pure hype... Floyd Mayweather jr is pure skills. When the 2 meet you will see what resembles when Prince Naseem fought Barrera."

"****, Manny should fight Shane since they both on that ****. They can call it Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley, Lord of the Roids: Fellowship of the needle"

"I don't know man... that's tough now. You know Pac is my rider. I ****s with dude but I ordered that Clottey fight and I just don't think he ready for Floyd."

"Young man I should kick you out my shop for even putting that little juiced up punk in the same sentence with jr. Man I think Floyd should let him shoot up and kick his butt just to show these young kids that cheaters never prosper"

"I'll put my car and everything in it (New camaro all black with rims and system) on Floyd if the two ever fight. Thats easy money for Floyd."


Idk people, most of these dudes were Pacquiao Clan members 4 months ago...

By the way, I stand neutral in this... Truthfully he's not my favorite boxer (yet he's a good fighter) so I can't really comment...

LMAO @ "****, Manny should fight Shane since they both on that ****. They can call it Manny Pacquiao vs Shane Mosley, Lord of the Roids: Fellowship of the needle"

Chups goes to a SuperCuts where the stylists are much more polite and corporate.

He said barbers are polite and rarely cuss. Yep never rubbed shoulders with the average working class smuck.

Fake................barbers are very respectable and rarely cuss.

lmao..I was thinking the same thing...and especially if you go to the shops in the hood that has the stylist/barbers mixed together..its even crazier..this guy obviously has never been outside of "supercuts",,,,,,,

I'm sorry, but that was hilarious.

From a casual fan's perspective I think Manny was getting such a popularity boost because the last few fights of his were the sort you couldn't miss; DLH gets his ass beat and people who didn't buy into Pacquiao go 'wow, that's impressive'. Most of them watch Hatton and go, "Damn. He's a beast." Their friends find out what an ass-whooping they missed, start watching highlights and then their on the Manny Express.

The most people tune in for his Cotto beat-down, and now everyone is sold that Manny Pacquiao is a terminator robot, a little beast of a man- and he's sailing on the momentum of, 'you can't afford to miss any of my fights'.

Basically, Clottey-Pacquiao was- and this is all from a mainstream casual fan perspective- a fight you could absolutely afford to miss; and that popped the Pacquiao bubble of people who had become fans of his within the last three fights.

Now he's just a boxer. Even if these casual fans thinks he's good, they look at him not steam-rolling Clottey in a battle, and think of undefeated Mayweather, who they know is undefeated- so he must be good, right?- and suddenly Floyd is looking a little better.

Plus that fight falling apart over testing...

I think Floyd is pulling out a media battle over Manny in a lot of casual boxing fan's; we'll see if it continues based on Floyd's upcoming performance.

Wow you have a good memory...red k sent for this gigantic pile of crap.

[MurderDeathKill]

Not at all. Pac did his part to make it an exciting win. Clottey's the one who lost a lotta respect from boxing fans for not trying to win in an important fight.
