Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Pacquiao's Rise Helped By Mayweather's Layoff

[straightleft]

Would Floyd have been ducking a jr. lightweight, or did you know all along that Manny would skip two weight classes up to 147 in 2008?

Floyd could wait the result of Hatton vs Pacquiao on that night but instead he announced his fight against a lightweight Marquez and then went to vacation while Pacquiao fought Cotto and Clottey.

Jack Napier might be a *******, but he isn't one of these ******ed non-fans with KFC avatars talking about "Fraud Gayweather"....the guy knows his stuff, even if he is *******ed.

I wasn't quoting Jack there.

All you said was 'how can a horrible singer sell millions and go broke?"

But yeah, slight attempt at humor, on my part, that missed the mark. Either way, selling 1MM records doesn't mean it's impossible for someone to go broke. Pavlik just mentioned Manny ******** and drinking his money away, and asking TR for an advancement of his purse for the JMM fight.

These guys (Manny, Floyd, and many others) don't live like we do. It's easy for any of us to imagine having the kind of money they have, and applying it to our own lives. We overlook the responsibility and change that comes with that money.

That's not all i said:

"He invested his money in businesses. After he retires he will be in movies, TV and ads in PI."

You believe Pavlik? Is he Pacquiao's girlfriend?

Can't you see Pac and Floyd don't live on the same world?

Partying and letting money rain in vegas costs much more than a drinking spree in PI.

Floyd bets in NBA finals game much more than Pacquiao bets in a billiard game.

Maybe Pacquiao gambles and drinks but not the way Floyd does.
Pacquiao is a congressman and have TV shows and have many ads in PI. He don't have much time to gamble and drink. Pacquiao actually have many investments in PI.

Its true that it's not impossible for Pacquiao to go broke but Floyd would go broke first before he will.

I remember him fighting Mosley after he and Manny couldn't come to terms on drug testing.

I also remember, during the buildup for the Marquez fight, Floyd going on record as saying if Pacquiao wanted to fight that he'd pay JMM $1MM to step aside.

According to Forbes magazine Floyd was the 3rd highest paid athlete last yr with 60.3 million. So stop pretending to be Floyds accountant. Your boy Mannys the one whos going broke lololol. Hes been getting ******ed by his manager and promoter for yrs. 2 yrs ago all you *******s were on here saying," oh Manny doesnt need Floyd." Bull**** your husband Mannys gonna bowdown and take the test. Why??? Because he needs themoney.

According to Forbes, we should also all be putting our funds in U..Treasury Bonds at 2.35% in which case, we'd all starve fairly quickly. Do they mean gross or nett. There can be a HUGE difference you know, and a guy who earned $60 mill last year (don't know from what since he fought only against Marquez) wouldn't need to be chased by the IRS for $7.5 mill. Not to mention his auto and other debts.

lol, my man, my post wasn't meant to be nearly this serious. Since you've taken it there though, how can you ask a poster- who, mind you, is quoting Forbes as to Floyd's financial status- if he's Floyd's accountant for doing so, then turn around and say Pacquiao will never go broke, is rich, and if he did go broke it would be after Floyd? How do you have a better idea of Manny's finances? lol

And understand, the boxing industry is very small. Fighters/writers/trainers/promoters/misc mostly know each other and each other's business. I'm going to guess that Kelly Pavlik, who fights under the same promotional flag as Manny does, has a better idea of the situation than you or most any other poster here.

LOL! Did you believed that? Floyd ducked too many fighters in his division that his words mean nothing but just an excuses just like why the Oscar rematch, Cotto and Margarito didn't materialize.
