    Or were you suggesting NSB posters pay for it?
    Using that as an example. was in no way meant to suggest that's what Manny's camp did that.

        Ok, you gave me your opinion but again, how is paying them not to work with Manny dishonest?
        Paying sparring partners just to stay home... to spite your opponent.. is inherently dishonest. It's like paying your daughter's ex boyfriend to stay away from other women because seeing him date other girls hurts her feelings.

          The interviewer referred to "RUMORS" of paying off potential sparring partners not to spar with Manny, to which Fortune responded that such behavior is childish. Does Fortune believe the rumors? Who started the rumors? Who knows, who cares? That's why they're called RUMORS!! This garbage is to be taken with a grain of salt, and here some of you guys are, buying into it like a group of old wash women. Get a grip, fellas.

            No it isn't. Bribed implies they were illegally or dishonestly coerced into doing something. In this case, if true, they were simply paid more than TR offered them to come into camp. Did these guys ever make it to camp with Manny?

            They exploited a loophole at worst-a loophole that Bob could have easily closed if he paid them more and signed them.

            These guys really don't know the meaning or definitions of a lot of words.....

            I will make it simpler.....

            what Bob Arum was investigated before was for bribing. Giving money and or gifts to sway in one direction. These fighters were not exclusive to Pacquiao's camp. Did they even start sparring? If Haymon had them go In and spar a little and then pay them them to leave the camp then that would be bribing but paying them more to not go is not bribing but hiring the fighters. Weren't they Haymon fighters or affiliated with him? I would think Manny using them is worst.

              Calling it a bribe out of desperation is pathetic. I could see if they were under contract and got bribed to not spar hard or give info to Haymon. They just got paid more.

              No, lets say it is true, still a simple fix. Pay them more money to spar.
              they were bribed. they were given money to avoid being pac's sparring partners. the only one arguing out of desperation is you. you are the pathetic one, you are the one with no morals and no dignity, you are the one twisting every thing, and you are the on who needs jesus in your life.

              i'm done trying to get all of this through to your head. it is very exhausting and time consuming. keep living in your dreamworld where up is down and down is up.

                You clearly do not know the definition of the word dishonest. Spite and honesty are not the same thing dude.

                If you think that is what this is like well that is crazy. That said, it's still not dishonest.

                You and other pac fans don't have to like this, but falsely labeling it dishonest, illegal, immoral or calling it a bribe doesn't make it so.

                Just be honest about why you don't like it without trying to create some viable justification.

                    yeah, They are just labeling it that way rather than just being honest-they think this will hurt Manny's chances of beating Floyd so they are mad about it.

                    Instead of just saying that-they are trying to create some fake justification for feeling that way. That way it isn't about their feelings, its about someone elses actions.
