Admit It People, Manny Pacquiao Has Been Reduced To Fighting Mayweathers Scraps

[fdotorres]

Arum provides sound bites, boxing publications and magazines run with them. The ring will print Oscar's views but that does not mean they are shills for Oscar. Eventually people starting taking these tidbits as fact especially online, which leads to more widespread to belief in their reality which leads to more writer writing about such topics because that is what readers want to hear.

All The Ring or any publication has is its credibility, Oscar owning the Ring already creates doubt but if they were shills for Oscar no one would respect them at all thus completely making it worthless and it doesn't seem like that is the case or a desired outcome for minor propaganda purposes. The ring will report Oscar's views if he wants them shared but that doesn't mean what the Ring says is directly from Oscar.


Try again.

but i never said that what the ring says is directly form DLH. i said that that scenario is much more possible than the media siding with arum

arum doesn't own any media source

DLH owns the ring

saying that arum manipulates the media but DLH doesn't (especially his mag) is simply idiotic

[Mr. President]

i don't think either are afraid. that's just ******. i do think floyd just thinks he is a bigger star than he actually is. mike tyson never tried to dictate ridiculous terms for fights. he just fought. which is seemingly the case with manny as well for the most part.

You obviously missed this thread where i proved which one of them is really avoiding the fight and laid that discussion to rest.

Your Mike Tyson arguement is ridiculous. Not only is making sure your opponent is clean a fair and reasonable demand, but like Floyd, Mike actually requested that Holyfield undergo stricter drugs tests both times they fought.

That's a far more realistic demand than paying 10 million dollars for every pound a fighter comes in overweight, which Floyd agreed to without any problem. Unlike Manny, he's actually willing to make sacrifices to get this fight done for the fans.

Arum job is being in the media promoting his fighters.

You should learn what a promoters job entails.

Manipulating the media is a big part of it~ also Arum is a master of it and has tons of experience at it. In short he is much better at it than Oscar (who has the same exact job) even if Oscar owns a magazine.

i wouldnt say reduce but more like showing floyd whats gonna happen to him if he ever step in the ring with pacyaw!

[Mr. President]

so De la hoya and Mosley were at their peak when Floyd fought them? I'll let you have Hatton b/c he was undefeated at the time, but he wasn't fighting in his best weight class, which is cool, cuz he challenged Mayweather so it's only fair he meets Mayweather at 147. But ur not being fair to Pac's entire career more like the last 2 years, and why not throw in the names of guys that Mayweather never fought that Pac did at welter? oh right, i forgot that would make you a fan rather than just a f-ggot.

look at this with a little perspective. De la hoya....would you not take that fight? Hatton was the champ at 140, he challenged Pac and Pac did what he's paid to do. Cotto is Top Rank so that's all that matters there. Clottey is a fill in, even though he's no slouch in my eyes (but I don't wanna get into that here). Margarito's Top Rank, what else you wanna know? Mosley, I'm sorry homes but Mayweather didn't ruin Mosley, only you think that. Since when has arguably one of Floyd's best wins become pac's worst opponent? what is that a back handed compliment? you even hearing urself nicca?

You're forgetting that Floyd fought De La **** at his actual weight. He didnt steal the fight by making him cut down to a weight that he hadn't fought at in over a decade.

You know as well as i do that Shane was looked at as a serious threat when Floyd fought him. He was coming off his Margarito win which reinvigorated his career and most boxing heads thought he could give both Floyd and Pac a good fight.

When rumors we're spreading that Team Pacquiao was ducking him it was Floyd who stepped up and took the fight. Needless to say, Floyd dominated him for 12 rounds, and now that he's a little softer and there's a little less spring in his step, Team Pacquiao is ready to fight him.

The fact that you uneducated fans deny this this speaks to how effective the Top Rank hype machine is. That crook Bob Arum has you wrapped around his finger.

Oh I see. I thought Floyd "C" Mayweather Jr came out of retirement to fight Pacquiao. What happened? Nice try, worshiper.

[Prime 407]

It's no secret that Freddie "The Joke Coach" Roach waits for fighters to be ruined before letting Pac fight them, but this is getting ridiculous.

First Floyd defeats Oscar handily and right after Manny swoops into fight him.

Then he DESTROYS Hatton and leaves him a shell of his former self in the most brutal KO of the year (which may or may not have caused Ricky's well documented stuggles with obesity and drug abuse) only for Manny to set up a fight with the broken man right after.

And now he's preparing to fight Shane "My tooth hurts and i need a vacation" Mosley, the same man who Floyd just decimated for 12 rounds straight less than 8 months ago.

It's facts like these that make me think Team Pacquiao are a group of cowards who refuse to face fighters at their peak. While Floyd steps up like the champion he is and faces these fighters while they're still threats, Manny plays the background until Floyd softens them up for him. That's not how great fighters operate which is why Floyd is looked at as the greatest fighter of his era while Pacquiao and his mouth piece Freddie "The Joke Coach" Roach will be forgotten about in 10 years.

Pretty sure Mayweather ducked Margarito and Cotto, and has never fought clottey so.... you sound ******ed

Floyd also fought Marquez, which was Manny's leftovers and he could only knock him down once even though he outweighed him by 15lbs on fight night.

[Champ Is Here]

Wow the other 3, 2 came off damaging losses and the other one arguably lost as well

The other 3 was Floyd left overs. You rest assure if another WW Floyd fight, Manny will fight him too

[Mr. President]

Oh I see. I thought Floyd "C" Mayweather Jr came out of retirement to fight Pacquiao. What happened? Nice try, worshiper.

He did, and Pacquiao refused the fight by claiming he didnt want to take a stricter drug test. Have you been sleeping in a cave over the past year?

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

yeah, and wifebeater ducked all 3 of them.

U puzzy! U've been on these boards since 04'? Right? And yet u still perpetuate this ducking BS?

Damn! Did pbf take the ring back too? Here, this should help u get over things.
