Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Turns His Back on Mayweather's 'Coward' Jab

Not sure Floyd ever said, you are not a "real" american if you dont support me....think it was more like, look at other countries how they support their fighters, we should be doing that in america too.

Very similar talk and Floyd said it often. I do not remember Floyd fans making a big deal or critiquing Floyd on that.

This lie might end him. Usually Arum is here shielding him from backlash but it seems he is letting that leash go a little longer this time.

Messiah Complex! Pacquiao seem to be believing the BS from his Fans now that he is some sort of Prophet and Savior and it is starting to get a little disturbing.

Respect to the people in the Philippines who are not falling for the BS and is questioning him. You can't ask them to stop being curious because they're Filipino like you and just go with what ever you feed them.

LYING is not God Like Manny! Don't preach to people about GOD when you're lying in front of the world and you're being deceitful

Not that I'm Super Religious or anything but I think this Bible Verse talks about people like Pacquiao and this stuff that he is doing:
Jeremiah 23:16
This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.

He led Floyd to God? Through a boxing match? I think his theology is off... But ok

Not similar at all....quit reaching....telling people they are not "real" people of their race/country because they dont support "me"....is not the same....sorry

Nice post right here.

Reference Floyd personally though, guy was generally loved prior too De La Hoya fight....he chose to play the antagonist/villian role. He even says it in a interview during De La Hoya build up...two good guys dont sale, so I can be the bad guy....and boy did he ever. For casual fans this was their first glimpse of Floyd, he was disrespectful and started the money persona...then the Mexican outfit to throw more salt in the wound as he disrespected their "Golden Boy".

He saw that it worked and kept at it. Me personally witnessing him from the time he started his career saw the two different sides, so its easy for me to still respect the ring skills. But after playing the money persona so long, most dont know another side...he turns people away with his antics.

Dont get me wrong he has earned everything he got, but he also has to understand that he will never be a well liked athlete. He can act like it doesnt bother him, but it does, u can tell by some of his statements.

ya but thats my point people use mayweather as the reason but it goes far past mayweather its not just him its every american fighter.

Pacquiao saying Filipino's are not real Filipino's if they don't support him? WTF is this guy on?

just so you know, there are black filipinos.

[HURTFEELINGS]

So does floyd still have problems with left handers? Or fast handed fighters?

Can Manny get any more pathetic?! Even his idiotic fan base is starting to have a hard time defending Manny with out looking even more dumb.
