    this is insulting, and an indicator of how done pacquiao really is.


    the hunger to be a great fighter is sometign the rest of us don't understand. it's the only commonality between the greats. once that goes, and it's clearly gone in manny, these guys are human again.
    No you don't, you don't have to pay a thing. It's a choice, a concept lost on many.

    The whole Manny-Floyd farce is a product of boxing fans tolerating subpar ****. If no mother ****er had turned up for Manny-Clottey and Floyd-Shane, they would have fought by the end of the year. Boxing fans have to accept some responsibility here.

      Maybe, or perhaps it's an indicator of how easy Manny feels the fight against Algieri will be. I do believe he took an unecessary risk though. A twisted ankle or knee would kill the fight.

        I'm just joking around good sir. I love bball and Manny can do what he wants, I just like these threads of him doing random stuff.

          it would not surprise me at all to see this unfocused clown get outboxed by algieri.

          pacquiao has shown total disrespect to boxing with all of his ridiculous side shows like being a politician, singer, actor, now this garbage?

            He might get Bradley'd by Algieri. I have that feeling.

              I know this is NSB so Floyd's illiterate ass is alledgedly the chairman of the Illuminati, but who didn't want to see that fight? It was Sugar fighting Money finally where they were in the same division and Shane was coming off the beat down of Plasterito.

                Are you still bitter over Floyd's cherry pick gone wrong?

                If a boxer does anything else, he's disrespecting the sport? That's total nonsense! A lot of boxers need something else to fall back on, especially when their career is over. It has nothing to do with disrespecting the sport.

                If he was eating twinkies and carrying a lot of weight around and laughing about it (like a certain Floyd Mayweather-wannabe), THEN that would be...a problem.

                Playing basketball might actually HELP a boxer stay in shape.

                  I agree to an extent, but it was very much secondary to the fight people actually wanted to see. There have been numerous occasions for fans to boycott both these guys' fights to get them in the ring together. Instead they've kept paying - and complaining.

                  Note I said 'some responsibility'. Ultimately, responsibility rests with the two fighters who have both treated the fans with contempt, to varying degrees, over the past five years.
