So Manny Pacquiao doesn't fight for money? He fights for legacy and for his fans?

[JmH Reborn]

that go good with beers on Friday night
I will have more soup for dinner
big pot of it, homemade, will last 3 days worth
I just hope gas don't flare up at work
certain dishes give me distinct gas
broc cheddar soup gas has bad stench

Exactly...bacon wrapped smokies and Coronas make for the best of nights...and I just copped Shutter Island...so I'm all good!

Clam Chowder Soup does something fierce to my stomach...its atomic

I'm sure Pac wants the money, but tbh with you, I think Arum and the rest of Team Pacquiao wants them more. If Pacquiao was the one doing all the negociations, money wouldn't be an issue. I might be wrong, but that's how I see it.

However, Floyd must be pleased since he hates fighters who doesn't fight for money.

judging from his past behaviour in negotiations i would say you are wrong. Arum had to give him money out of his own pocket so he would sign to fight HAtton. Manny is just as greedy as Floyd. Except in this case his greed isn't warranted because it's not backed by PPV numbers------> Floyd's greed is.



When i hear his delusional lap dog ***** ass ***** fans say **** like he doesn't fight for money i can't even begin to imagine how ****ing ****** these ppl are. All boxers are in it for money first. Everything else comes after!!!!

If this is true at least we can rejoice in the fact that OST issue seems to have been worked out.

So Manny is fighting for money because he wants a 50/50 share?

Great Logic.

Man, are you effing crazy? Would you want a 50/50 split with Hatton if you were Pac? Didn't you just see Hatton put on a coma by Pac? And you're saying Pac doesn't deserve a bigger split with a nobody like Hatton? When Fraud retired Pac was boxing. What a f*** joke.

That certainly hasn't been the case in the past. In the past, it's been Pacquiao - not his team - asking for more. Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. He is a businessman first and foremost and should seek to secure the best deal for himself. I think the point the TS is trying to make is that, Floyd is lambasted for doing so while Manny, even though he is the same way, has a completely opposite image. But this is how the media influences perception.

Let's see. Almost walked away from a Hatton fight over money, almost walked on the DLH fight over money, and will probably walk away from this fight if the money isn't right. Sounds like perfect logic to me.

Exactly. His fans put him on this moral pedestal, but he's no different than Mayweather.

The media's stories have nothing to do with how each fighter portrays themselves in front of the camera...Floyd acts like a jackass and is treated as such...Manny acts classy and gets treated as such...

In their private lives, they may be totally different...nobody knows except those around them...

In other news though...lunch is in an hour...what to eat...



I love Saladworks!

The only time I see Floyd act like an ass is on 24/7. Other than that, the news I hear regarding him usually centers around his foundation or other venture/opportunities he's pursuing. I didn't know talking trash was such a serious offense--so much so that it can totally fool you and your perception. Don't become a boxer lol. I'm pretty sure Freddie Roach thinks Manny's an ass when he's weeks late for camp, too busy cavorting with politicians or playing karaoke. Who knows? But the point remains, both are equally in the business for the business.
