Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Was in The Dark on Jump From HBO To Showtime

[indystress]

Which is why this fight with Mosley is going down. Manny just talks with his fist, he has no idea what goes on around him.

I hope he doesn't have this approach for the people of the Philippines, because its quite apparent, that Manny has a bunch of sharks in his entourage.

I hope he doesn't become a story in a decade or so, of another high profile athlete stripped of his wealth

pac is just a boxer, he's not the promotor, he does not negotiate the promotional part of the fight...get real. alot of you people talking out of ur arses.

pac is half way around the world and he's busy doing his congress thing...why shoould he concern himself as to who will be televising his fight with mosley?

[| THE KING |]

exactly, I don't even know what the big fuss is about really. So what if he doesn't know? Dude just want to fight and make money. If you've been following Pac and know his history, the dude just loves to fight. As long as he gets paid, he lets the businessmen (Konz, Arum) take care of the business part. Why is that so hard to comprehend? Pacquiao always says he's just an 'employee (boxer)', he doesn't actually advertise himself as a promoter like some other 'boxers' out there. I think it's about time people act more mature and realize that not everyone is the same.

You already know man.. people just come in any Manny thread to vent their frustrations..

pac don't make the decisions... arum does. it's always been arum running pac's career. so when *****s and haters say pac is ducking this guy or that guy... talk to arum.

WOW....and the hate never stops.

If this move from HBO to Showtime turns out to be a big success, get ready to read more....
"oh well, smiley dumb mannyroid gets no credit because he was in the dark"
If it turns out to be a failure,
"oh pac freaking knew all along about the transition between Hbo and Showtime,so stop blaming others...waa waaa"

You guys are no different from the *******s!

You sound mad as hell? Your sig says it all though.

I'm not mad, its more like...

[Seleção No. 13]

Do people really think Manny intentionally acts oblivious? Like there might be a conspiracy theory behind all this? He's not that clever and complicated.

[Kris Silver]

Doesn't say a lot for his business or political skills.

1. He created MP Promotions and has fighters on his payroll. That makes him a promoter. So your saying he has no control over his own business affairs?

Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao didn't know about the switch to Showtime from HBO Sports when news of the deal first broke.

Who believes that rubbish?Oh Pacquiao wanted drug testing 24 hrs before the fight,Pacquiao was in the dark about switch to Showtime.So what does Pacquiao know?
Pacquiao abuses people's trust,that guy knows everything but wants to pretend like he is innocent in everything.

Last time I checked MP Promotions is not the same as Top Rank Promotions.
