Was it wrong that Raheem didn't get the Pacquiao Shot over Morales?

      Ok thats a better reason than what you gave before. Pacquiao did it for the money. Agreed.

        Pac already signed rematch with Morales for the 2nd fight BEFORE Morales even fought Raheem.

        Raheem lost his next fight vs Acelino

        Pac then fought Larios for WBC International super featherweight title

            Because Pacquiao fans weren't even watching back then, most of this credit has come retroactively from his legions of blindly devoted nationalist fans. As far as media goes, there was not much if any national media attention or plaudits given (ESPN, FoxSports type attention) for the 2nd and 3rd fights that I can recall. I think the 2nd one is still an OK win for Pac, but yes he gets far too much credit for everything from his fans.

            Basically a vast majority of Pac's fans have no idea who Raheem is, let alone had ever watched one of his fights. Of course Morales looks better to them. No matter how old or what weight problems a fighter may be facing, the names are everything to most casual fans. If Denis Lebedev were Filipino the same posters who praise everything Pac does would be praising Lebedev's wins over Jones and Toney as the greatest victories ever.

            It is like if Landon Donovan or Clint Dempsey were the first soccer player Americans ever were a fan of. Then all of America decided Dempsey/Donovan were the best ever and decided to tell every internet soccer forum about how Landon Donovan is the best...every minute...of every day...for years. That is what a shockingly vast majority most Pacquiao fans are. It is a Pinoy pride thing, they don't even care about boxing.
            Outstanding post.

              Raheem's fight with Freitas came well after Manny and Morales had agreed to fight again for no reason. And then, since Manny knows he has the dumbest fans on earth, he decided he'd fight him a third time for fun.
