Double Standard for Pac?

[Chuckguy]

So as far as I know Pac has yet to sign the contract. He is supposedly demanding $22.500001 mil for the fight guaranteed yet no one has jumped on him to say he is a ducker or afraid.
Why?
So its ok for him to take his sweet time and act the way he is because......

Im not saying he is any worst then a certain other boxer but he is pulling the same moves.

So your source is the "other" thread?

Of course there is a double standard. I just chalk it up to the fact that people deep down know that he is not truly a #1 fighter. Floyd is our #1 fighter and they are still holding him to those standards despite where they place him in the P4P polls.

Just think pac is about to fight for a belt at weight he has never fought at against a guy who doesn't campaign there and who hasn't fought in over a year and half. and in that last fight, he got decapitated!!!! Then to top it off, the fight is being fought at a catchweight for another title a weight that neither fighter fights at!!!!

Pacquiao has a lil pattern going here. He has history of fighting vulnerable, KOed, coming off losses type of fighters and no 1 says anything.

He fought larios coming off a loss, he fought Morales 3 times coming off losses, he faced Diaz instead of Campbell, refused to fight raheem after he defeat morales, fought Cotto after being brick layed and looking vulnerable against clottey, he fought Clottey after a loss, he faced hatton after being KOed by Floyd, and he faced oscar after being whooped by floyd and touched up by Forbes! Now he fighting margarito after a long layoff, being killed by Mosley who just got destroyed by Floyd at a catchweight and weight he nor Margarito has fought at!

Nobody really says nothing...they spend more time talking about Floyd and King!!!

Yeah there are some double standards!!!!

if arum has no problem w/ guaranteeing him the money, if arum thinks this fight can generate that much, then what's the problem?

it never mentioned the purse split between manny and tony, so why talk about ducking?

arum has been a longtime promoter and he knows more than anyone else here how to sell a fight.

And I totally agree but flip the script and say Floyd is demanding the same amount for the same fight everyone would crucify him and say he is ducking the fighter
but since its manny its ok? and he deserves it?
why doesnt Floyd when he is the biggest draw in boxing

lets get one thing clear I have my issues with both fighters and Im not a fan of either one
I just think whats good for one should be good for the other

[Franco2012]

How is he ducker?

He is gonna get 22.5 millions + PPV numbers and he will beat living **** out of Margarito!

[Chuckguy]

he is not going to make $22.50000001 mil
he is being a diva pricing himself out
but we should all be use to this by now
because he did the same thing with Oscar then Hatton then Cotto and now Margs
he agrees to fight for x amount signs the contract then he demands more after he has already signed a contract for a certain amount

Chuck the only double standard is that people are singing praises to Pacman for fighting Margarito,when Freddy roach said on 24/7,that Margarito shouldn't be allowed to fight again!!Normally I wouldn't have a problem with a Pacman fight,but even him shouldn't be allowed to fight Margarito for a 154 pound title,when neither of them are champ at 154!!I wouldn't have a problem if Margarito was a champ,but he isn't ****!!This fight is a farce & people need to realize that!!He is almost as bad as Floyd!!

I argree
they are 1 and 1a
diva 1 and diva 1a
to me manny and floyd are so similar in a lot of ways
but Pac always gets a pass
