Comments Thread For: Atlas Rips Pacquiao, Roach For Boasts, Fight Approach

[iloveboxing2]

What can I say, I lost my money because Pac's people are bunch of morons except that guy named bubuy but it's not really about the money, Pac personally did the boxing, wrong. Atlas was right, dont act and talk silly then at the end of the fight, you tell the whole world they all got screwed!!!! The way I see it, the two judges that scored it 116-112 was about to rob Floyd or the people for a rematch in case if goes down the wire, unfortunately for whoever is involved, the injury affected Pac's offense that led to a lopsided fight, Floyd was not that great, he was fighting scared but Pacman was a total bum. Now that Arum's team lost, they used plan B, the injury! Same thing they used to Pac/Tim, they already got all this planned out, unfortunately, they are all a bunch of morons and everything backfired! That includes Mayweather, no more PPV's for these rich i di ots.

I don't think people realise how humiliating that defeat was for Pacquiao. In the end it became clear that he hates Mayweather far more than Mayweather hated him; just look at the way he looked when Mayweather embraced him at the end of the fight.

Now picture how much Pacquiao hates Mayweather, imagine how it would have felt to be so thoroughly dominated by him. Even when he was knocked out cold, he was in a fight. He's always been competitive but this time it was a complete wash out and his family had a front row ticket to witness it.

He went into the fight ****y and sure of himself. He left the fight a broken and humiliated man. It's natural that he'd experience grief after that soul crushing defeat which ultimately lead him to the first stage, denial. All this "My shoulder hurt" and "If I was 100%, I would have won," are lies he needs to tell himself.

Few months down line, he'll be angry at his camp. Wouldn't be surprised if we saw some changes. Arum is there to stay but Koncz could get kicked to the side, maybe even Buboy. It'll be, "Why did you sign me in this fight," "why did you distract me," "Why didn't you read the terms."

Then it will be bargaining. You'll start reading interviews like "Even though I lost to Floyd Mayweather, I'm still the second best fighter of this generation."

Depression will set in and he might go the way of Hatton, and De La Hoya.

Finally acceptance. It'll be the stage where he and Floyd can sit down with one another, laugh about the ups and downs of their careers, and praise one another.

Get well soon fighting pride of the Philippines.

Very good posts! I've always respected Pacquiao but felt like his handlers and die-hard crazy supporters did it for me. Pac was in an interesting situation. He was loved for his exciting style, but even more loved because people thought he had what it would take to beat Floyd.

If you mix that in with all of the people who already hated Floyd and the media twist it was the perfect chemistry. Floyd was already hated before Pac came into the picture. Merchant always hated Floyd even when he fought for his first championship (Hernandez) bout. He wore I am a champion "Trunks" something like that and Merchant was upset about that. Foreman had to check Merchant and say "That's how you are supposed to think if you wanna be a champion." About 20 years later he is still here undefeated.

Pac seems like a good dude, I wish him well. Hopefully he can humble himself realize he is blessed to be in that position, move forward and be grateful in defeat. He took the Bradley loss much better, and about 85% of the people had him winning that fight.

I honestly believe Pac and Roach took Mayweather lightly.

Roach wouldn't stop going on and on about Jr. not having his legs anymore. Clearly this wasn't so much the case.

The carefree attitude that Roach and Pac had on fight night was almost frightening when they had yet to step in the ring.

Only up until they lost the fight did they have to whip up an excuse for the loss and yeah there might of been a shoulder injury out there, but to the point of them calling off the fight and thinking they couldn't pull off the win? Nope, I don't believe so.

I think Pac and Roach thought with or without a shoulder injury it would be a win and didn't care enough to report the injuries or look super focused during fight night.

You can't believe the **** you write. You want someone to believe that Team Riod took the P4P best undefeated champion lightly? That's one of the most idiotic statements I've read in a while. How bout Manny was never on Floyd's level to start!!!! I think they're blowing the selfie thing out of proportion, some fighters dance and clown on their way to the ring others choose tunnel vision it doesn't have much to do with what happens once the bell sounds. Manny got schooled by one of the greatest fighters of all time, GET OVER IT!!!! Roach said before the fight their was no shame in losing to Floyd then he went back on his word. Manny is not in Floyd's league and never will be!!!!

While MW was having the biggest fight of his life, Pac, Roach and Arum was having the biggest paycheck of their life.

[Scipio2009]

So a selfie is an issue but this is okay?



or this?



Yup you get the stamp of approval.

Floyd came out in full costume, did his shenanigans on the way to the ring, stepped into the squared circle, and handled his business, often in dominating fashion.

Pacquiao smiled his way to the ring, took selfies along the way, stepped through the ropes, and fought like utter **** (after hyping his compatriots up to such a point that folks ended up betting half their paycheck on him).

no comparison

PAC fans trying to bash Atlast but he was predicting that PAC would win!!! Lol! The hate is so strong!!!! Thing is the rematch would be worse! Floyd know PAC don't have nothing for him, I'm not going to say he would tko him, but it would be no doubt who the winner is!!!

[Cinci Champ]

F U too you backstabbing scar face ass piece of scum. Manny fought his ass off, given the circumstances. Why aren't you MAD at Floyd for not pressing the action of a wounded fighter? Why are you not upset with Floyd for all of the running and holding his BIG ass did? Get outta here, man. Manny has never been a whiner or sore loser. He knows he won the fight and conducted himself in that manner. Floyd couldn't do what he wanted in there, either. WATCH THE FIGHT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he did talk about all that but at the end of the day mayweather won what is there really to dislike besides saying its not fan friendly lol

there is no doubt the rematch would be worse anyone who cant see mayweather did about 25% what he was capable of cause he was in cruise control either dont watch boxing much or is such a die hard manny fan they dont want to admit the reality and probably think pac almost or did win

[BoxingJunkie]

Its simple.

Roach's trash talking was at an all time high

You dont talk THAT much crap, and make the kind of predictions that he did if you are going to plan on using excuses after the fight and pointing blame

Thats the point

I couldn't have said it better

[jvsnypes]

I have always respected Manny's career and achievements and I picked him to upset Floyd. But right after round one, I knew it was over. Even before that during the ref's instructions, Manny did not have that same fire in his eyes. He barely even looked at Floyd. And for the 1st time, I think he was intimidated by his opponent. I definitely feel cheated paying $100 for the ppv, but that's Floyd's fault as well. How come the number 1 p4p king couldn't KO an injured fighter??? How come Floyd fought so cautious??? If Floyd is so skilled, why not use those skills to break his opponent down to get the KO instead of strictly defensive purposes??? This whole event was horrible for boxing. The best 2 fighters who represent the sport of boxing gave little effort displaying their skills to the world. Its time for both fighters to retire. They did not deserve those historical paydays.
