    Yeah, any idiot would believe that Pac earned a measly 6 million vs Bradley who earned was paid 5 million for that fight!

    This shows ego (from both sides) is worth more. It's not really a deal disagreement between Pac and Floyd, it's more Bob vs Floyd. They should do it 50-50 all the way. If that doesn't work, 60-40 with winner getting 60, loser 40. 70-30 if its by ko.

    Boxing did fine when Ali retired.

    Pacquiao was never really needed. But he was there to fight the best he can. It's up to fans to appreciate him. Sadly, many blinded with hate never will.

    Its not Pacquiao's fault, blame his promoter. But then again, Pacquiao should stand up and be a man.

    ''I would like to thank my promoter Bob Arum, I am just a fighter doing my jab in da rrrring. Nothing personal.''

    Getting annoyed of the same sentence every fight though. Add some spice to it Packy!

    boxing needs boxers that can stir up interest from the most number of people that otherwise would not give a **** towards the sport. what boxing doesnt need are this elitist boxing fans that instead of attracting more people into the sports are driving people away from it like what a number of people are doing in this forum.

    No. Pac is not that relevant in the sport of boxing. Neither is Floyd honestly.

    Who is better for boxing? Floyd or Manny? Floyd, by far.

    All the fighters you named above mostly were caught by urine testing except Mosley but none from invasive blood testing Floyd wanted to do with Pac. The same urine testing was ok for Floyd's previous 40 fights and Pacquaio took passed with flying colors. Pac offered Floyd not a random testing but a daily test of his urine still Floyd insisted the latest urine testing is useless. Funny as hell nobody has been caught on his random blood testing but the urine testing does many times.
     
  14. Does hofbrau still not talks right
     
  15. It almost feels like he's retired already since the Bradley fight

    I hope he comes back and kicks ass though
