love the way keith is selling the fight. this is gonna do numbers

[BadMedicin3]

love Pac but keef is right

[TheUptownKid]

He’s trying to sell the fight but he’s somewhat right. The only part I would disagree with is one it’s not just his getting hurt by Lopez, but also you have the super version of the regular belt he has presently. But secondly, Keith has the least tools of any present champion outside of porter and porter is a physically tough fight 40 year old manny doesn’t want.

Well Arnold (the Governor) is 30 years older than Manny (the Senator) and I surely wouldn’t want to fight him.

By the way, Keith and Manny, you’re doing a great job promoting the fight, keep up the good work.

But seriously, Manny signed the contract because Thurman looked so slow against Garcia. Lopez has nothing to do with this.

It’s more Thurman who signed the contract based on the Jeff Horn fight.

Why are people trying to make this a cherry pick conversation? Pac is 40 with70 fights under belt. Keith
has only had 29 fights and is fresh and in prime and bigger. Thurman.literally has all advantages. He's still unbeaten. Unbeaten fighters don't know how to lose.

Keith is favou rite. Let's not twist this. Pac is taking risks for a legacy fight. Keith is more in it for money

There’s two Manny Pacquiao

- One who shows up to the fight with little preparation, he could loose.

- One who wins

Excluding a few exceptions from this generalization (Mayweather, last Marquez).

Unfortunately for Keith, he is not fighting the Jeff Horn Pacquiao

[Letmaku]

This fight is more about Thurman's performance than Pacman's staying power. Pacman does not really drink alcohol but he likes the nightlife!

[guitarboyled]

Keith’s last KO dates back to 2013 against 3rd class opposition, last one lost 13 times in total.

Keith is getting older faster than Pacquiao.

Pacman said he didn't watch Thurman's last fight, but his team did and liked what they saw. Pacman watched the Garcia vs Thurman fight, and he liked what he saw. In the end, all are in agreement.

Pacman already talking about his next fight, he said probably against Earl Spencer (he already forgot the name).

[gritsteel]

Very sensible post. Also, Thurman has something that Crawford, Spence, and Porter lack: charisma and the ability to sell a fight. Thurman is already playing up the villain role that highly compliments Manny's humble and good guy persona.

Crawford has the charisma of a rock, except in Omaha, in comparison to Thurman. I'd say that Thurman seems to be doing better than Broner though. He probably is getting some percentage in the PPV, and of course he has to psyche himself up since he will be up against a legend who can still swing it.
