"The Ring" Is Pacquiao Now Milking His Past Success

The best fight for Nov 13 shoulda been Pac vs Valero @ 140... damn the things that god teketh away...

It really is pathetic but you have to understand, most of these guys aren't boxing fans. Just Pac d*ckriders. They don't care about the sport - only how good Manny looks.

you must be describing your infatuation w/ floyd. ive been watching boxing live since ali's final fights.

I gotta agree w/ Rosenthal that Clottey and Margarito are unworthy, but I gotta disagree with him blaming pac for it.

Arum is the one pulling the strings and making the fights.

Also, a fight with JMM is worthless. I dunno why people keep asking for a rubbermatch. JMM has not proven that he is great above 135 lbs. I gotta see JMM beat someone like maidana or urango up at 140 lbs before I'd want to see him fight pac.

Arum works for Manny, not vice versa. End of story.

Anyways, it was the next logical opponent besides JMM at 135. The man at 140. And, even pre Floyd or whatever Pac still whoops Hatton ass. Just not all that. Just not.....

At the end to have a beef with that fight is just plain hatting. That is like me having a beef with Floyd-Hatton when they were tougher fights at 147 then freakin Ricky Hatton. However, I understood why that fight happened so I have no beef with it whatsoever.

you are getting off the pointwhich ties in to this thread. floyd fought an undefeated hatton while pac fought hatton coming off a brutal loss, two fights prior

roach and pac did welcome it, that is why Pac agreed to 3 blood draws but not on the day of the fight and giving urine sample everyday. he's willing to do more what the commission didn't even require him to do.

which people are you talking about? the more than 50,000 who watched him live and the 700,000+ who paid HBO...suuuure they have their su****ions LMAO!

its not OST if blood is drawn 3 times and dont forget, they wanted them SCHEDULED. therefore, they didnt agree which was proven when pac walked away.

try again

I may seem like he's milking it,But if one was following what's been happening of late.The one fight that matter a lot could not be had,since the other party is either afraid or not interested in making it happen.Lets just hope that the said party will finally grow "a" ball to sign the contract ,agree to fight him.Until then to the uninitiated with boxing he may look and sound to be cherry picking his opponents.

Yeah but that's no excuse, G. Can't blame the next man for another's actions. He had plenty of options. He just ignored them and fought the house fighter (again).

funny how they like to use arum as their scapegoat for mannys doings

Ever seen post fight interviews with Manny? "who do you want to fight next?" Manny: "whoever Bob Arum lines up for me, its up to him"...

means Manny is not the type to go out and choose who are the worthiest opponents.. he knows it's the promoter's job... He doesn't have a lot to prove anymore, he doesn't call himself the "best boxer today", only his legions...
