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

You mean the one who lost to Rios previously anyway? Rios and Alvarado are practically the same, except Rios is more exciting and marketable.

His style just happens to be a bad matchup against Manny's style. Come on dude, at least be honest. Manny has a better chance to look good against rios than Alvarado.

They get paid. Thats why most people join these departments-good salary and benefits.

My father and grandfather fought for this country so take your whiney BS somehwere else. Manny is the same as floyd-a guy who fights professionally to feed his family.

If u're doing something of course u wanna get paid. What does this have to do with he's not fighting for his people or his fans because he's getting paid?? We all knows manny cares more about what the fans think than Floyd.

boxing is a boxers job. when you grow up you will learn that. as fans we want to see the best fight the best.

the problem for fans like you, t18z, and others is you're mad that the guy you love avoided the guy you hate because he and his promoter knew he could't beat floyd.

You guys blamed floyd, the testing, everything. You forgot one thing-Bob said he thought floyd was better than Ali and SRL when floyd was a 23 yr old eho couldn't sell out a ****ing hotel ballroom. He's NEVER EVER said same about manny.

Manny is a great champion and HOF'er who I will always respect even when ****ting on his diehard d1ckheaded fans that occupy the fringe.

Its time for all of you to accept that Floyd is on a higher level and always will be.

Should we take all of Bob Arum's statements that seriously or just the one that you agree with?

It's not a bad style, Pacquaio is better than Alvarado at boxing and better at brawling, he would beat both in a good fashion, but I agree Alvarado would make the fight less exciting with the backpedaling, but Alvarado is less of a challenge than Rios anyway.

getting a little mift are ye ?

While wading thru all the S### and street jive

what we need to see is JR fight some tests.

That means no outstanding demands to have an edge , for instance

NO catchweights, forget promoters, I could give a crap about Arum, that dude means nothing to me as a boxing promoter and like all promoters he is GREEDY for money and glory,

No special ped tests,,,JR the millionaire can easily be using undetectable PED's so GET off that excuse.

Lets match best to Best.

If someone can make 147 lets match

If someone can make 154 lets match

thats what I am talking about,,,,,,,,,,,,,be OPEN to the WORLD

IF JR does that all props to him but he can never erase his past

no, all we know is that what he and his camp says. I doubt Manny ever makes decisions based on what fans want. He makes decisons on what is best for him. Nothing wrong with that.

If he did, maybe you'd have seen a floyd fight or a pwill fight.

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 $$$$$

The phuck?? So pro fighters are not allowed to have pride?? Of course once u make it to the pros u're expecting to get paid!! But that doesn't mean u cant have pride or doesn't care about your country. The phuck u smoking on? Dry paint??

[Dehydrator]

The juicing without getting caught stage...oh wait this fight is in China. He ain't got anything to worry about.

not funny at all, try again, troll.

Fair point. Bob is liar. That said, WHen was the last time you heard him say anything like this for ANY of his fighters?

It's not a bad style, Pacquaio is better than Alvarado at boxing and better at brawling, he would beat both in a good fashion, but I agree Alvarado would make the fight less exciting with the backpedaling, but Alvarado is less of a challenge than Rios anyway.

I agree he beats Mike, but mike can move and manny is not the best at dealing wih movement.

No matter how much we disagree on other things iot should be fairly easy to agree that HBO and TR benefits from Manny looking good in a win. Additionally, this fight is trying to make Macau, China a new place for boxing and sell ppv's in china, both would be good for boxing as a whole.
