"Boxing is a business"
Remember?

This, is what you guys defended so much in the past, and now its coming back to haunt you.

It's actually not haunting, it's just validating. Does it haunt you to know that Pacquiao has been selecting opponents throughout the latter part of his career?

While I don't care for the fight itself,

it sure is funny to see you all cry about it.


"Mannnys ducking Shane" 2009, most of 2010.

"Mannys fighting Shane?, this is a travesty".


Business, is looking good!

Show me where I defended Floyd fighting, this guy or that guy then running back and saying "boxing is a business".

[richardt]

Again, Pac accepted the demands Floyd made and then Floyd ran the other way. Checkmate Pac. Read and weep: http://icemanjohnscully.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2656

That's just it, Bob has made it clear he doesn't give a **** about the boxing public. He's the apostle to the gentiles- the casuals who couldn't tell you the difference between light-welter and light-middleweight. What percentage of the people who bought Pacquiao-Cotto or Pacquiao-Margarito do you think knew or cared about a catchweight? All they knew was they saw Pacquiao on Kimmell, 60 minutes, Sportscenter, and Youtube highlights and they want to see him do his thing.

Arum said that like 80% of the purchasers of PPVs are casual fans, so the boxing public can go **** itself for all he cares.

WTF?

I've been saying that for weeks, and you have been arguing the opposite.

Manny's career has been completely manufactured since Diaz, and manipulated even before that..... and that's completely ignoring the OST thing. Their " project " was a success, according to 60 minutes.

yes I know why they have weight classes....so why cant manny fight for belts at the weight they are supposed to be fought at?

your name calling is cute.....but Baldomir outweighed Mayweather by almost 20 lbs....Oscar outweighed him by about 10..... and he didnt need catchweights or weight gain restrictions.

Fighting for a junior middleweight title anywhere between 148-154 is the correct ***ing weight to fight at because thats the weightt division numbnuts. Again please send me the link to the rule that states that all championship bouts have to be held at the full weight limit.

And are you really comparing baldomir, a ***ing cinderella story journeyman to the caliber of fighters that Manny has faced? Really?

Floyd started his career at Flyweight?

[hitking]

everyone knows pac has a better resume than Floyd so their is no point going into a pointless debate. You are a Floyd fan and you will say whatever to defend him.

And before you start judging people, i have been a fan since the early 90s. one of my fav fighters of all time was naz, roy jones, holyfield, gatti. I have watched all the great fights. When i see something special and i see people trying to downplay the achievements i will defend it, because honestly we will never see a fighter like pac again and its a shame that fans like yourself cant appreciate what we have..

So basically, you're ducking my challenge because I've owned you with facts. Telling me, "everyone knows Pac's resume is better than Mayweather's" isn't exactly laying the two resumes on the table and seeing which one is better is it.

As for me, "not appreciating Pac", that's nonsense. Until very recently, I was a huge Pacqauio fan. Hell, I paid $400 to sit in the cheap seats in Memphis to watch him on the Lewis-Tyson undercard. And I didn't go to see that nonsense of a main event. I went to see what was then my favorite fighter when you probably didn't even know he ****in' existed. But now, things have changed. I'm tired of him fighting guys coming off loses and lackluster performances against lesser fighters and claimign that its a great accomplishmnet. The first Barerra fight,greta win. The JMM fights, spectacular performances frorm both. The de la Hoya, Hatton, and Cotto wins, awesome. But this past year and this upcomign fight with Mosley are horse****. No matter how great you or anyone else try and make them out to be.

Pacquiao should just push to abolish weight divisions. It would actually be more respectable.

Pot call's kettle black!

[Cash Cow]

i never said he was washed up. i think u owned yourself for being a doughnut.

Man everyone knows Morales was washed up after the Barrera battles...and even more washed up AFTER he got humiliated by Raheem....

[richardt]

Enough about catchweight - BOTH Floyd and Pac accepted 147 and Pac accepted the drug testing and Floyd ran. The Prima Donna Floyd doesn't want to risk losing the zero even though he or Pac could win the fight.
