I am so sick at the state of boxing today. here is a guy in his prime fighting a 40 year old part time blown up bantamweight. Thurman his staff and the promoter should be jailed for defrauding the public and Manny might even win.
can you imagine Duran leonard hearns etc doing this in their prime? they would not have even allowed it

Has he even sold a single PPV yet? I know he is trying hard to be delusional but am actually laughing because i can't take him seriously.

Keith just having a bad hair day, he'll be fine.

Come on now. Be serious. Pacquiao is a lot more than a 40 year old blown up bantamweight.

Maybe he isn’t in his prime. Maybe he’s far away from his prime. But his prime was sensational, so now he’s probably an above average fighter. I mean hell, Broner is average. Just another guy. And we know Manny is better than him. I don’t think either fighter has anything to be ashamed of if they lose this fight. I don’t think this is a mismatch on paper. This is a decent fight that probably should NOT be on PPV but is forced to the platform because Manny is guaranteed to move the needle.

Very easy formula the top $ maker draw ppv star in any fight is the A side. Most not all times it’s usually the better fighter. So obviously it’s Manny bigger $ draw worldwide by far and top WW all time easy pick

Im black and i wana know what grown man still calls ppl "playa" in 2019 smdh. What a cornball. Ive always thought he was a wierdo but he fought well and seemed fearless. Now that weve seen the cowardice in him and his seeming oblivious to the truth of his life, I just cant stand him anymore. Went from One Time to Sometime, to run Time, to Part Time, to Down Time, to Maybe Another Time, to Times Up! Im done with this guy.

Manny is a legend, regardless if he wins or loses this fight he has been fighting over 3 generation of fighter.

His longevity and his career is only surpassed by Floyd. The fact that Thurman thinks he can compare himself to manny is ridiculous. Thurman is a bum
