Well any promoter that goes along with that is a sham promoter. Give us the good old days of guys like King, Arum, Duva and Murad Muhammad.

Honestly I have to disagree with a lot of the criticism for this fight directed toward the fighters. First off, Pacquiao looks literally a weight class smaller than he used to and he was already barely a welterweight. He doesn't look much bigger than Loma. Horn on the other hand is a rather big welterweight. Furthermore, Horn is incredibly lacking in fundamentals so he makes up for it with grit and smothering. Given Pac's size, that was a good strategy. I didn't think he was intentionally trying foul most of the times he did. I just think Horn is not used to fighting such a small fighter that way. I do think Pac won clearly but the size difference alone combined with Horn's smothering style kept him in the fight. A more Mayweatherish style where he uses the shoulder roll, pot shots, and stick and move would have been much better against Horn but Pac doesn't do that. They should've known Horn would be a tough opponent for Pac's size and style but they were overconfident. His team sees him as more of a legend than just a man.
Despite being WBO champ, Horn is no where in the league of Spence and Thurman. Because they actually have power, I think they ko Horn easyLast edited by Gate keeper; 07-04-2017, 08:58 AM.

I blame this old coot! He set Manny up to fail. I can't wait until Pac is finally free of his contractual obligations to this miserable old cheat so he can leave him for good and once and for all.
He appears to glee over Manny's loss. It sounds like he hustled him for this fight. All he has ever done for Manny's career was rip him off and left him penniless and broke.
That's the only reason why Pac is still fighting at this advanced stage of his career when he should be retired. After allegedly earning $ Millions with Top Rank, he yet still needs money which is both heartbreaking and shameful.

On a side note even the much smaller Pac ***ED Horns face up. He needed a SHT ton of stitches over his eye. While PAC barely had a scratch. I don't think Horn has that good of power??
