Comments Thread For: Thurman To Bet On Himself Beating Pacquiao By 1st-Round KO

Man, he is talking much more than normal. He sounds like he's getting desperate to believe in himself.

I saw thurman losing the fight even before the first round began. The man simply run his mouth. If a B-class Lopez almost stopped him, how much more for a legend like pacquiao?

I hope he will trade punches with pac till round 12 if by luck he will go the distance.

We all know Pacquiao was ko'd by two C class fighters and recently lost to a B class fighter himself right?

Thurman to win on points in a cagey affair.

... is the venue sold out?... is this fight on PPV?...

... well: Thurman tries to sell -- in fact it is his purse at stake here...

[Slip&Counter]

Lol, talk is cheap. Let me see that betting slip.

THURMAN has mentioned now placing bets on himself to win by early k/O twice now.
He better trade with Pac now that he has told everyone he's their to knock Manny out.

Kudos to Thurman for being loud and helping sell the fight. But he has no fans, more of those buying or going are Pacman's fans who want Keith to lose.

Anyway, I think Fox' power in promoting the fight in their other big sports events is the bigger denominator. It can bring in the casual fans.

Sure, but losses of legends are more easily forgiven ...

He's trying too hard but props to him for selling the fight.

Hope he comes to **** and not just cash out.

“No,” Pacquiao said, “I don’t bet [on] myself.” sez it all
