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

[Seleção No. 13]

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?

Apparently, you haven't seen the article with members of his team revealing how Koncz doesn't pay Manny's fighters. There's a reason why he has a 40 man entourage.

that dude doesn't give a ****


all he cares about is the guaranteed purse


give him an opponent, a guaranteed cut, a venue and a date


the fight could be on the Cartoon Network and it wouldn't matter

[QUOTE=MrWestGrand;10015871]Its always somebody else fault when it comes to this ****in guy. He didn't know about the network switch....Really Pacman?! This guy ****in knew, just like he knows HBO is owned by Time Warner, which owns Time Magazine who named his azz one of 2009's most influential people. He's playing dumb cause he just left the 2ND largest media company in the world to do business with the 4TH largest media company in the world., and he wants to keep the door open with HBO.

You people respect this guy like he's a saint, but he is nothing more than a common street hustler out for the biggest check he can find. He has turned his fans into propaganda puppets, who support his every move even if it means bad business for the sport.

HBO should say **** this guy and out with old in with new, because he is one brutal Mayweather azz kicking away from being just another a nostalgic figure to only his fan boys.

He already told you....

With all due respect, this post is ridiculous. Do you really think Manny secretly plotted with Time Magazine to get named one of the most influential people in the world? Do you not think that has anything to do with his worldwide popularity?

What is worse is that you compared Manny to a common street hustler? Are you serious? Why hasn't anyone responded to this nonsense?

Oh yeah, and about the "bad business for the sport". HBO goes to 30 million homes in America, where CBS goes to over 100 million homes in America. That's much more exposure for our forgotten sport to the public. How is that bad business?

That doesnt speak very highly of him though Mak
and you know it
you are just defending the dude cause you really like him
nothing wrong with that
but think about it Mak
how much more money could he have had he put his foot down?
How many millions is uncle bob screwing him out of
who cares if he made a guaranteed 20 mil he should have made 30+ mil
I think its really phuked up of both Arum and Konz to take advantage of Manny's loyalty and his plain ignorance

Time Warner is the 2nd largest media conglomerate in the world this is fact. Time Warner provides the budgeting and resources to Time magazine, and HBO because they are subsidiaries. Pacquiao being on HBO, and in Time magazines generates more revenue for Time Warner, and this is common knowledge to most engaged in the business of media. CBS is owned by Viacom, which is the forth largest media conglomerate in the world. Exposure is not boxing's problem, it's selective match making, horrible score cards, media shills, and inadequate PED testing. Boxing is not far from forgotten, it's reputatation is tainted. Big Difference.

As far as the street hustler comment, any man who has repeatedly cheated on his spouse, has been with **********s, gambles endorses ********, has multiple law suits pending for breach of contracts, and smiles in my face and says it's 100% GOD is a hustler.

manny is a figure head...lol

But i like this move and idea. HBO has been bulling for years, not letting highlights be shown on regular cable.

I think there are a lot of people that are just being haters on Manny for what ever reasons but you have to admit King, the sh it that Konz and Arum are doing to Manny is really ph uked up!

Take for example his fight with margs where he made what 15 mil. the PPV alone generated over 49 mil plus the gate at the stadium and he only gets 15mil
What Arum is doing to him is exactly what King did to JCC and Tyson
its messed up

[LMFAO]

Why should anyone feel surprised about Manny "being in the dark" on the jump from HBO to showtime?

I mean Manny doesn't even know what his own strength and conditioning coach gives him. "Manny has no idea what's in it."

Does Manny know anything?

He's like "Simple Jack" from Tropic Thunder's Filipino half brother. "Simple Pac".
