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

[jbpanama]

honest answer? its no secret Floyd has problems with his hands, shoulders and back. his long lay offs are mostly influenced by the right healing process.

many consider these "vacations" ducking, Floyd's just a real smart guy.

Interesting, and all this time I thought it cause he was CHICKEN ****!!!

Floyd's BOYFRIEND is half right. Floyd's comeback was against Juan Manuel Marquez....which had everything to do with Pacquiao!! So it's obvious that Floyd's rise in popularity was because of Manny. Remember when Floyd fought Hatton, the PPV buys were less than 900K.

Floyd Mayweather Sr.: "He (Floyd Jr.) thanks everyone but his daddy. He thanks Leonard Ellerbe, a *******ual, I know he's a *******ual and everyone else knows it. You can print that because I said it, I can tell you nothing else but how gay he is."

HMMMM, Wonder if FRAUD, Polishes his CANE???

I think any semi-knowledgeable fight fan who was watching boxing as long as 5 years ago knows Pac's rise to super stardom is in large part due not only to Mayweather's "retirement", but moreso his unpopularity. Let's be real, in 2008 Manny Pacquaio was a great 130 lber fighter coming off what most considered a loss to JMM. He moved up to lightweight to fight David Diaz (I just threw up in my mouth a little) and had nothing to look foward to but fights with the likes of Casamayor and Campbell, who were atop the lightweight division. His oppoertunity to fight DLH came when Mayweather pulled outta his rematch with DLH to "retire." That is where Pac's rise began. And now that he not only beat guys like DLH and Hatton better than Money led many people to believe that he could be the one to beat the guy they hate. The dislike of Mayweather has made stars (on a much smaller level) of guys like Cotto, Margarito, and an aging Mosley because they who the hope guys. Now, Pac is the new hope guy on steroids, no pun intended.

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.

MONEY ESCAPETH the FOOL, and with
Pac's Legal Men, the Bookies, and the IRS,
No Escape for the ATG, FOOL!!!

floyd vs pac has been prolonged almost 2 yrs now so fans like me arent convinced anything these guys like ellerbe or schafer etc say is true.
with this statement saying because of mayweather's lay off is kinda bull****.
and heres why.
in all actuality floyd has been at the welterweight division for 5 years (2006 vs baldomir). Before manny even stepped up there and floyd has not fought the amount of quality fighters pac has fought in the 3 yrs at welterweight pac has period. hands down.(2008) vs oscar
81% to 18% of fans who voted on whos has a better resume picked PAC over floyd here on boxingscene.
so ****ting on mannys accomplishments is ridiculous. floyd has had ample time to accomplish more with the time he has had at WW. so thats why mannys rise is more solid then floyds not because of his layoffs period. real boxing fans know this.
floyd fought dela hoya, hatton , marquez & Mosley in 5 years at WW. impressive? or
Pac's fought dela hoya, hatton. cotto, clottey,margarito & mosley.
floyd should atleast fought cotto or margarito then again clottey.

This guy says, "Floyd's rise in popularity was because fo Manny" and uses the Mayweather-Hatton PPV numbers to back it up. Yet when Mayweather fought Hatton, Pac was fighting at 130 and oh yeah, Mayweather-Hatton outdid Pacquaio-Hatton.

Even if Manny wins this deflamation suit that doesnt mean hes going to get any money. Example OJ Simpson walks on the murder charges of his wife. Her parents come back and sue him in a civil case. They win and are awarded 10 mil. You know how much money OJ paid his in-laws? ****... And Manny knows this since he has the same lawyer as Nicole Brown Simpsons parents.

Nobody is interested about chicken Floyd Mayweather Jr. Everybody knows that he is just a mere pretender in the sport of boxing...a comedian. Today the Mayweathers are trying to affiliate their names with Manny Pacquiao to keep themselves afloat.

[delpilar]

Stop using pacquiao's name to hype upcoming floyd's dance. Floyd's boring & that's a fact.

[LeadUppercut]

Who the heck is Lloyd Ellerbe???

Statements like that make you sound ignorant about boxing. Are you a Pacquiao fan by any chance?

The tards are squirming

There is some truth to Ellerbe's comments, but that aint the whole story.
