Do you even comprehend the difference in things , what Manny did over the entire course of the camp then the fight then what he said after the fight is the biggest lame ass excuse making Ive ever heard in a major fight , this makes Tysons spinal look like nothing , this makes Mannys socks cramps and found God excuses pale by comparison , Manny ALWAYS has excuses .

You people are fcked in the head .

Nah.... the Mike Tyson spinal reference was and still is hilarious!



But even Tyson didn't use that as an excuse.

What I think people are misunderstanding about what Hopkins is stating, about the intelligence of Pacquiao, and his handlers, is that the whole strategy was "******." They called Floyd a coward, yet Manny was "scared of needles," and had a "cut that didn't heal." They said they couldn't fight in May because they needed "an outdoor stadium." They said they shouldn't fight in May because it would "offend the Mexicans," although Manny had already fought on Cinco De Mayo Weekend in the past. They said "Marquez must have been on something," although Roach already said "Manny was taking suspect shakes." They said they signed a contract, and were "waiting on Floyd," then Koncz goes on FightHype and admits "there were no contracts, and Floyd really wants the fight." They made "All Access and 24/7," putting Manny's blazing hand speed and power on display, they had the answer to Floyd's movements, they had a sparring partner that was "the secret weapon!" They knew everything going on in Floyd's camp, and Floyd was being beaten regularly! They "checked NO," and they thought USADA had contacted NSAC, but they never contacted NSAC themselves. And after all that hype, Manny got schooled just like Canelo and Cotto! And after the boxing lesson..."My shoulder was hurt!" That's just a bad look all the way around! Now Manny needs a top 3 WW opponent to redeem himself, just to earned a rematch, or even the respect of real boxing followers, but none of the top 3 opponents are with TR, which makes it very nearly impossible! And the total disrespect of Mayweather, has probably killed a rematch! Like B-Hop said, Manny should have revealed the injury in March/April, or kept his mouth shut! Bad strategy by Team Pacquiao!

Damn! Manny is getting robbed blind.

On top of that, why is Manny still paying Shelly Finkel? They haven't worked together since the 2nd Morales fight.

Bernard your memory must be short. Do you remember Chad Dawson??

[Dan Gutierrez]

Hopkins thinks he is a doctor.

Pacquiao is not making excuses.

He said he won.

Are you serious that Manny only got 25Mil?

Very surprised you didnt pick up on that.

Two days before the fight, Arum let it slip to reporters.

Check out the thread " Manny will give half of his earnings away to charity ".....
..... or something like that.

Arum let it slip that he will be writing Pac "a cheque for 25mil on Saturday night".

I jumped on that thread, but it became strangely silent.

Mayweather took home a chq for 120mil, Pacquiao got 25mil.

After PPV, Mayweather will likely bank close to 200mil, Manny will likely get about 40mil, the same amount that he had refused previously.

Four things that I will never understand about Manny are.....

* extending with Top Rank, when Pac clearly does not require a promoter

* firing visionquest, immediately after giving them POA, and immediately after visionquest reported finding widespread problems with his accounts/contracts

* retaining Koncz, after visionquest revealed that Koncz had been receiving a monthly wage from Top Rank since becoming Pacs advisor

* being happy receiving a cheque for 25mil, from his 80mil purse

If I was a su****ious kind of person, It may occur to me that Top Rank appears to hold something over on Pac. Something aint right, thats for sure.

Uh, no offense Hopkins but.....if I remember correctly, you had a shoulder surgery after your first loss to Dawson.
