Comments Thread For: Margarito's Team: We Are Next in Line For Manny Pacquiao

[IMDAZED]

Berto is a nobody. Atleast Margarito has proven himself to be elite. Can we say the same about Berto? I think not

I'm not interested in Pac-Berto and definitely not interested in Pac-Margarito. Only a Pac nuthugger of the highest order would support the latter.

In a Manilla newspaper yesterday Arum stated he believes there will be a decision regarding a Pac-May fight by the end of the week. I sure as **** hope I'm wrong, but it's pretty clear in my mind that Freddie wants the fight, Arum wants the fight, but I don't think Manny wants any part of Floyd. My guess is Manny was very insulted that the Mayweather's have put him on the defensive regarding PED's, and has come to the conclusion that there is not another fighter on the planet that gets Floyd a fraction of the money that a fight with Pac gets him. Manny knows this, and for personal reasons, he doesn't want Floyd to get paid. At the same time, I suspect there's some Philipino politicians advising Manny not to take a fight that could destroy his aura of invincibility...Money? - I don't think that even plays into Manny's decisions anymore. When you're in the parliament of a third world country with strong ties to the west, the money available to be skimmed is exponentially higher than some boxing purse...IMF, World Bank, and countless other nefarious opportunities for enrichment sounds a whole lot better than a tough, bruising fight with Floyd which he could very possibly lose. Nah, the hero of Asia has bigger fish to fry when it comes to making that paper, and it's called US Aid.

Manny is a ***** if he ends up fighting the plastered one.

Videos/articles out there of manny calling floyd out say otherwise. Biggest payday of his career.. why wouldn't he want this fight? Manny is retiring soon anyways he has nothing to lose.

An article as well..

Ok thanks the link and video. so Manny has no decision or choice in who he fights? He just does what Arum tells him?

Why not? If Floyd don't want to fight Manny I wouldn't mind seeing two fighters like Manny and Shane go at it. He was '38 years old/past prime' when Floyd faught him. He isn't destroyed..

Why not? Is that really your question. The way you guys ripped Shane after the Mayweather fight, now ya'll want to see Shane fight Manny. Again, for what reason exactly?

To see a good fight? I want Manny vs. Floyd or nothing, but if that isn't going to happen.. I would love to see manny vs floyd.

What makes you think Manny vs Shane will be a good fight, considering Floyd completely dominated the guy?


Yes, that's obvious man. Promoters are all pretty much crooked ****s.[/QUOTE]

Yea, you don't have to tell me.

Pac stops him in about 8 rounds. Lame fight...

If he loses to Floyd, he loses his status as baddest man on the planet - that's a lot to lose. As I stated above, there's so much international dollars to be skimmed, I doubt a dangerous payday in the ring is as attractive to the newly elected congressman.

You already know manny has been calling out floyd man. But at the end of the day, he is the FIGHTER. He FIGHTS whoever is put in front of him. But there is no denying he wants floyd. Here's just one of those videos.

"His time is past already.. it's my turn.." LOL!

I didn't rip shane prior to the fight, so I understand why Floyd fought him. He was still a dangerous fighter. However, after seeing the fight you can see he wasn't near his best. Just calling it like I see it man. I wouldn't mind seeing a good fight. That's the bottom line. I would just enjoy that my favorite fighter is still giving the fans what we want.. a fight.

What makes you think Manny vs Shane will be a good fight, considering Floyd completely dominated the guy?

To be real man, Manny and Floyd have different styles. Floyd being more defensive, slick, etc.. While Manny is more offensive, though improved his defense, is still there to be hit. Shane rocked Floyd with those shots and I it's not out of the question that this could happen to manny. However, I think manny would punish shane and get a possible stoppage.. just my opinion.

Yes, that's obvious man. Promoters are all pretty much crooked ****s.

Agreed. I just can't wait for this fight to be signed. Too much money at stake.

You have to be offered something in order to agree.
