Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Starts The Hard Stage of His Training Camp

[Larry the boss]

Dunn, why bother? Mayweather has said he doesn't fight for his fans and he has been a fighter who doesn't really have the backing of a country.

Don't try and act like Pacquaio isn't as reckless and offensive as he is in the ring for any reason but to please his fans. He enjoys giving the people what they want, he has specifically stated that. Pacquaio has had that approach to boxing before he was rich and famous.

For once, give Pacquaio his props, what I said in regards to both fighters was truthful to our knowledge. Mayweather has stated what I said before, and Pacquaio has stated he fights for the fans and the pride of the Philippines (hence: fighting pride of the Philippines)

he is reckless and offensive because thats how he fights..this is why people hate on manny..people like you who try to make him out as more then he is..a fighter who fights for a living..he is no damn saint nor a damn person who fights for his country..dude fights to feed his damn family like everyone else..people hate floyd because he is honest..i dont go to work for the pride of my country i go to feed my damn kids

come on man..no way you can down Canelo yet try to act like Rios is somebody..and kill that noise bout manny fighting for his country..he fights for money just like every other pro fighter

What do you mean come on? I never said Rios was anything special? What are you reading? Canelo and Rios are both nothing special in my eyes, however Pacquaio because Bradley and Marquez declined had no other choice but to choose from B level competition.

Pacquaio does fight for his country and for the excitement. Money comes with it, yes, but stop acting like it's his primary motive. Pacquaio has always been an exciting fighter, even before he was rich and famous, and you know it.

Manny is a great fighter and should knock out Rios in under 6..Rios should not even be in the ring with Manny as he is about 100 levels beneath him

Money is his primary motive thats why he is a PRIZE FIGHTER..he fights for money..if he fought for his country then why is this fight not in his country??and why does he not fight there for free?? and yes he has always been exciting because thats how he fights,thats the only way he knows and thats what gets him payed

a fighter performs for his fans and his country, not for fame and money.

Funny, but I thought manny was fighting for $20 mil in China in front of many people who have never seen him fight, not for free in Manilla, in front of his countrymen?

You can always tell who is the "NEWBIE" by the way they talk about who has the supremacy of money,

boxing is prize fighting and nobody gets in the ring without the doe

but

Boxing is about fighting and matching best to best, learn that

Sport to many people is more than just a job, it's clear you've never competed in any sport and had the feeling of wanting to put on a good show.

Don't start spouting crap about "this is why people hate so and so", what I said was truthful. Boxing is as much about legacy as it is about money to many fighters, because money doesn't live with you when you die, end of.

You are attempting to twist what I say because you have nothing else to add. I never said he fights for free, but it's clear Pacquaio has a much higher respect for putting on a show and representing his country in a positive way than Mayweather does.

I dunno why you're even bothering replying, everything I said about Mayweather was true, you just don't like the fact Pacquaio is the peoples champion.

man ive played basketball and boxed so dont come at me like that..if you were in it simply for pride you would have remained an amateur and went to the Olympics..pros fight for money and Manny fights for BIG MONEY...i dont see him fighting for free in Manilla...do you??..and legacy??what the hell does Rios in China have to do with legacy??this fight is strickly bout the $$$$$

he has one punch ko power but isn't a good enough boxer and his defense is questionable. he isn't fighting to please anyone other than himself, no matter what line of bull**** he feeds on 24/7 etc etc.

what you posted was borne out of frustration because floyd is geat and keeps winning. you dont like him. fine, like who you want but save that bull**** for somewhere else.

Manny fights for money and fame and tries to sell us on the humble warrior crap while he runs to china for a ****ing tuneup solely because his promoter knows it wouldn't sell much here because fans saw him get ktfo.

I give manny his props. What you did was try and make him out to be something he isn't. He is a HOF'er who has his own baggage.

He isn't better than floyd as a person nor a fighter.

Because he needs to fight for free right for that statement to be true in your eyes. I guess all our troops and police officers and fire fighters should work for free also since they're working and fighting for us.
