    But, Manny fights for legacy, not money. Doesn't he?

        Oh well there we go again acting like Floyd fans.

        I hope Pac pays you well, since you must be part of the team to care about how much money they make, not about making the best fights possible.

          He is the same as every fighter, a little of both.

          Manny wasn't rich at this point by any means. The fight with Morales was his first million dollar payday. He was just really trying to use MAB and Morales drawing power as a springboard for his own stand alone PPV career.

              Oh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

              There's a rumour going round Pacqiuao doesn't fight for money and only legacy.

                Sigh...Uselsess fights man but whatever. Explain after the 3rd fight with Morales, when he became Guzman mandatory why fight an unranked Solis instead of Guzman?

                Guzman would have been more money than the no-name Solis, and would since being an undefeated title holder in his 3rd division would have been better for his legacy than an un-ranked Solis.

                He could of had both but didn't...Why is that?

                  The 3rd Morales fight and 2nd Barrera fight did nothing for Pac's legacy, IMO.

                  Personally, I would have prefered to have seen him fight Guzman but as I stated I'm really not bothered the fight didn't happen.

                  But apparently he chose payday's instead. And that's cool.

                    You are reading something into my post that was not there. I want to see the best fights because I am a boxing fan. However, reality is the people making the fights happen are doing so because it is their job and they want to make as much as possible. Sometimes the biggest money maker is the best fight. Sometimes it isn't. That is just part of boxing.

So no, no one thought they were riskier than Guzman at the time, except d*ckriding fans like yourself who make feminine threads about how worried they are for Manny's health and how all the "distractions" that could hurt him.
