    From all the editorials I've been reading, it seems that Paq is on slippery downward spiral. Reports of children out of wedlock, not paying consultants, gambling, adultery, and allowing others to handle his finances is leading him to a place that many boxers of past lore know so well...we talk about Mayweather but it seems the story will play out in the future on who is actually handling their personal and private lives...

    Paq will probably be fighting into his late 30s early 40s....

    Sad.

    If he isnt careful we could see his career end up much in the same vein as Roy Jones Jr.

    We all thought he was super man what 9/10 years ago and look at the disrespect he gets now?

    Pac needs to get his house in order, he is a great boxer the last thing he should be allowing himself to be compromised due his bad decisions or worse Mr Arums.

    I wouldn't be surpised if any of this was true. He has too many people hanging all over him. Too many scavengers.

    A little sad.. It's swept under the rug by the media though. But if Mayweather pokes a finger at anyone, it's all over the news.
    Villain loses this one

    from what I've been reading he is running for governor in 2013. I doubt he'll continue fighting.

    Pacman has so much damn money coming in, he doesn't know what to do with it all. Yeah, most likely it's his people that have been pocketing it, but he is not by any means close to being broke. It's all media hype to have Mayweather and Pacman meet. There's alot more to it than just the stories that are put out there by some guy that wants to paint an ugly picture of Manny. Too many haters trying to bring down a legitimate good person in boxing. There's nothing to criticize Manny about, so they find anything they can run with and put it out there. The guy is involved in commercials, mega fights, movies, government, etc and so on. And we are suppose to think he is broke? He commands 20, 30, 40 million dollar paydays. Sorry, the man is on top of the world. I saw a picture of Manny and Paris (The Slut) Hilton, and people were writing all kinds of affair rumors about them. Manny Pacquiao is king, he invests in his country and helps poor people all the time. Sure he might spend alot of money on the poor, but that's ok. Manny is the peoples champion and he is making a positive change in the lives of those that are less fortunate. Manny will be ok!

    The financial aspect of Pac's situation is sketchy.....not that he's poor...or without money....he's just living outside his means paying for everything out of pocket and taking care of random people he feels for.

    The women and children come with being a man of power and living the lifestyle of an icon. Pac needs to adapt to his new surroundings and he's getting there...hopefully he we get there before the well runs dry and he's no longer fighting at this level.

    What's been missed, oddly, is that Manny hired Evander Holyfield as his life coach, back in 2004.

    Manny is ****ed. It's been a downward spiral. He's broke. He's about to look like **** again against JMM just because JMM moves(go figure). Those PPV numbers won't be released just like many of his fights and well have Bob give a stupid ballpark figure instead of official numbers. Nobody falling for that media hyped bull**** anymore. Sooner or later when that well starts to dry I'm sure Bob will finally let his meal ticket get exposed.

    Talk about drama queen.:lol: PAC is far from broke kid. He's got a steady flow of residual income from endorsements as well as other businesses outside of boxing...including that of a congressman. He's got a **** load of assets and properties that generate revenue and of course he's one of the top paid athletes in all of sports.

    Again.... he may be living outside his means but he's far from broke. Floyd is closer to being broke than PAC...if you want to throw that label around. PAC living the majority of time in the Phillipines where a US Dollar can pay for diner for a family of 6 easily.

    Let's just hope Floyd finds the urge to fight PAC and see the fight we all have been waiting for. It's highly doubtful Floyd will step up but we can all dream can't we?
