Lucas is washed if that obscure asian guy didn't take money from goldenboy this fight wouldn't even be happening. Pac is faded, but he's got way more left than Lucas.

Lucas is washed? He still looked fresher than manny in that fight, his boxing isnt technical but why would that thai guy motivate him? Fighting pacquiao motivates lucas, he will bring his A game while Manny has already tasted the accolades and for him its just another outing, lucas is going in there determined.

When you fight a name like pacquiao or any other faded legend you will be motivated to add that name to your resume.

Lucas is not good enough to do so. Like Pac, he's also well past it and close to a journeyman status.

Well that Jeff Horn nearly knocked mannys head off, you are only as good as your last fight, and lucas looked a lot fresher than that gassed tired frail pacquiao that fought horn.

What a hopeless article! I can't understand what it's meant to do - is it meant to inform us of what we already know or tell us that Manny is now a bad man. I would rather we talk about the fight game because none of us really knows what goes on underneath.

Its a hit piece to tarnish Pacquiao, the writer is making the slave masters arum and roach out to be innocent victims.

Boxing has a long history of the slave fighter getting screwed by the Slave master promoter man and this writer was able to flip the script.

How come the writer never mentions roach talking **** about manny behind his back? Or roach firing moorer and ariza out of jealousy?

Ive always had pity for the fans that fell for Pacquios fake @$$ choir boy persona smh. He was never as innocent and nice as he seemed

[pasawayako]

fk Arum and fk Roach

they both got rich without getting punched in the face

WAR Pac !!

well, Roach copped a few but Manny always said sorry

War pac?????
Yet last year, in our featherweight discussion, u said pacquiao's first fight against Marquez was "the biggest choke in boxing history" !!!!!
Change your mind much?????

Arum made millions off of Manny, as well as Roach, but that’s the business of boxing. But if I’m Manny, I would look at my net worth and compare it to Mayweather ‘s and Oscar’s and have a serious problem! How did a “hated and boring” fighter like Floyd make millions and millions more than a fan favorite and exciting action style fighter like Manny??? Both Floyd and Oscar were wise enough to break away from Arum during the prime of their career. Poor Manny was forced to go to Australia and fight a big young fighter on his own turf. Also because of Arum, his biggest defining legacy fight against Floyd took place well past his prime. He should have dumped Arum at least 6 years ago.

Roach said manny should've just took the tests, the very same tests he eventually took, and he could've gotten that fight THEN

Manny had examples set before him, of boxers leaving Arum and becoming more successful (oscar, floyd) BUT HE DECIDED TO STAY
When that accounting firm was hired to go over his paperwork, they told him what they found
Bob 27%
Roach 20%
Koncz 15%
(however his name is spelled)
AND HE WAS GETTING LOANS FROM ARUM (between fights), THAT WAS ALSO COMING OUT OF HIS FIGHT PAY!
HE DECIDED TO STAY
Because you thought manny was a good boxer
doesnt mean he has good business sense. His actions show something different, god bless but he didnt know to wear a condom with a HOOOOOKER! Drake even said damn Pac

PAC doesn't owe Arum anything. Arum made a lot of money off PAC. Roach failed to do his job in the Horn fight. Never once complained to ref about Horn's dirty tactics. There was chaos in the corner, too many people talking at once. Roach didn't take control.

Lets not blame it all on Roach, Manny didnt tell him his shoulder was bothering him during the Floyd match

[StrangerInTown]

No Arum, No Roach and no solid confirmation of this being shown on American television. Doesn't exactly sound like a quality twilight career strategy.
