Realistically could Manny setup a boxing promotions company?

Harvard lawyer? I didn't say he was smart academically. I'm just saying, business wise, he was smart. Yes, he has a lot of smart people around him. But that's what I'm talking about. He associates himself with these types of people. A lot of times, being a smart businessman means shaking hands with the Bob Arums, Richard Shaefers, and the Al Haymons. And now 50 cent. Timing was also a big part of his success. Bob Arum made Floyd into a star, but when Floyd was ready to leave, he left at the right time. Now he is the highest paid athlete in the world. Trust me, good thing about business is that you don't have to be a Harvard graduate or any college graduate for that matter to be good at it.

this is what i dont get from you floyd fans, pac has some succesful bussinesses as well, but why the hell is he dumb but floyd is smart?

I think many undermine Manny's intellect because he speaks English funny or with an accent. But the truth is he is a very bright individual. Plus has the funds to not only have a promotional team but to buy the Suits to run it.

That's actually the opposite of what I hear. I work with several filipinos that love Manny, but they all agree that he is not very intelligient. I asked them specifically, how he came off as a politician, whether he sounded knowledgeable or not, and they said he did sound very much like a simpleton. Basically, the best they could compare, is that he is kinda like one of our country, rednecky, type folks. This leads me to believe he's not too bright. I mean come on, the guy is scared of needles, and believes taking a little blood will weaken him. Not the brightest crayon in the box. That much should be obvious.

I think he's too ****** to be honest.

He has no business sense or savvy to do it, He didn't finish school either, wtf??

He has the worst contract in the sport, if he setup his own company his fighters would probably somehow take him to the cleaners....

Dude, if Floyd can do it, anybody can. Listen to Floyd in his interviews. He's got an IQ of about 17. Dude is a full blown ******. But when your net worth is 100 mil plus -- you don't need to be smart. You hire people to be smart for you. So yes, Manny could start his own.

hahahaha I'd have to agree on that. He can't even break away from Arum, what makes anyone think he could stand on his own two feet and pull something off like this?

WTF is wrong with people here? Manny promotional company is more successful than Floyd's promotional company. And you have people here saying one is smarter than the other? Yeah, you have to be very smart to customize 20 plus cars and be betting on every ****** game in the planet. Not to mention it takes a high IQ to finance a gold digger like Ms. Jackson.

They're both pretty damn ******. Since they're both boxers I don't expect them or care if they're smart or not. They hit people in the head for a living who cares if they're smart or not damn.

To be fair man they're both really dumb. Pacquiao has or had(according to him) a ******** problem. Who bets on roosters man? lmao. It also take a high IQ to knock up a hooker cuz you're too religious to use a damn condom... SMH

See they're both ******.

I don't know the extent of how dumb/****** Pac is. I don't speak Filipino, so f**k if I know. But I do enjoy listening to Floyd...I've probably heard most, if not every single interview -- he's ever done. Love him as a boxer. Dude is prolific. But dude is dumber than a rock. He's a mother****ing tard. And I love how folks dig his "business savvy". Lmfao. He knows 40 million is more than 30 million. So does my 4 year old nephew. Floyd's an idiot.

My guess is they're both equally uneducated.

He's ******ity knows no bounds.
