Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Says He is Willing To Try MMA/UFC

[Pullcounter]

pac was just joking around...

[paul750]

I thought that he trained in muay Thai for a while? If he has that's a hell of a lot better than just knowing how to box.

but lol **** ufc, boxing is where it's at... pac just needs to keep lighting them heads up, making exponentially more than the 500k-1 million he would make for WEC or UFC... seriously, the pay in UFC is pathetic - the most popular guys get like 500k.. bull**** 60k bonuses... and maybe another couple hundred k for sponsorships... then i think some of the top guys get like a FRACTION of the ppv revenue, like 5-10 percent or something insulting... tony probably made around 750k with his base pay, sponsors (if he even had any...), and im sure he made dana give him a fraction of the ppv sales...

pac can kick and punch but is missing the grappling component. but given pac's mobility and foot movement, it'll be hard for anyone to shoot on him and take him down.

what damage can they do when manny gripped and grpple with them? besides taking down manny is not that easy, manny knows thai kick boxing.[/I]

You're implying that they would have serious trouble dealing with Manny's ability to 'grip' and 'grapple'. No I didn't assume he would just stand there, I'm implying these guys in MMA would force you to go down quite easily - Manny wouldn't know a thing to counter it unless he trains for at least for a couple of years. You say Manny knows Thai kick boxing like its going to prevent take downs, yes it will help him at striking but that's about it. I'm glad you've done judo and boxing, but judo is one area in a big mix in MMA. I'm calling you out because you seem to think he'll do well right now which is naive, he may be good after a couple years of training if he's really talented but I don't see why he would do that. Anyway he's probably joking about it which is good, but as I said its naive to think he'll do well right now because of his grip/thai boxing background. If it was kick boxing or something then it would be different but when you add submissions and ground work its a whole different ball game.

i think pac isnt built for mma. hehe! he might get beat up..
maybe after years of training in MMA..
but i think it will never happen.
he was just only joking around.

[Spacey1991]

Hed be sticking two fingers up to Boxing if he did.

[NECK SNAPPER]

Why would he try it the pay sucks and theres no glory .
Most people dont even know what mma is its it looks like
some under ground fight club or somthing. Its for broke guys
and second rate athletes with nothing to lose but whats left of there teeth & ears.

they won't let him try MMA because they know he would dominate those clowns. Pacs style is better for MMA than boxing. Nobody in his weight class would be able to stand against a pac flury with those tiny gloves on. Lmao try to grapple him he will dance around those pathetic UFC **** then left hook their jaws off.

pacman would destroy these mma guys..these mma guys don't want to get in the ring..
