Why do people hate Manny Pacquiao?

you nailed it, b

 

If you were an eight-year-old (in a man's body), a once-in-a-lifetime talent/cash cow let loose in a candy store -- with no one to tell you NO -- what would you do, B?

 

why you defending him, jg?

hes the most blatant cheat in all sports outside lance armstrong. how the hell can you defend him?

 

Because I was around him 'n Team Pac for years, B, and got to see him up-close, 'n know who he really is.

 

lol at manny being overrated. rewind 5 years back, and all the fighters he beat the **** out of, would of supposedly ko'd him in 1 second.
most the people calling him overrated would be the people continuously proven wrong by his victories.

the funny thing is that you could probably catch people out on this by searching old threads. ohh how many people were proven wrong.

 

Get over it, NF. Life's not Disneyland.

Let he who's without sin cast the first stone.

 

I always thought he was a little fake with the found religion thing.Thats something personal you don't put that out in public .

 

Mannys hated?

He's one of the most popular boxers ever, probably. Seems like a decent fellow.

 

Pac lives in Manny Land...in his own head, b. His convictions are zealous 'n genuine -- albeit naive. There's not a Machiavellian bone in his body.

 

Lol, arent all Christians hypocritical?

Besides, I don't think he is hated that much. Not even in the same ballpark as floyd in that category. But it impossible to compete with a boxer thats an grotesquely egotistical, dirty talking woman beater.

Pac did have that shitty statements about gays that cost him a lot of fans.

 

So we're supposed to give a guy a free pass because he is of below average intelligence? I guess I'm failing to see your point here. "Oh he's a simpleton so all this garbage is ok."

Manny hides behind Arum and Roach like a shy toddler hides behind their mother's leg. To be a 30-something year old man and lacking the intelligence to even make your own decisions is pathetic and laughable. The fact that people elected a guy who gets punched in the face for a living speaks volumes about Philippines, and not in a good way.

 

Some people will say because of his fans, and there can be some truth to that, I remember how Pacdbest used to drive people nuts on here with what seemed like crazy predictions.

Strangely enough, before Pac fought Hatton, a lot of people who are his most vicious attackers used to be fans and talk about how amazing he was. Then the second that a Pac-Mayweather fight was discussed seriously, suddenly a bunch of those people thought he was a cheat who only won due to PEDs, or bribing everyone into taking a fall for him. At the same time.

Weird how that happened...

 

Not stupid or a simpleton, naive, D

What if he's just a 30-year-old great fighter, ill-equipped to make decisions ('n exploited at every turn), does that mean he should be trashed?

The snark about Pinoys says more about you than it says about them.

 

You compared him to a 5 year old who watches porky pig. He's not a smart guy, John, and there is no denying that.

I dont like him because he plays up the good guy angle and, as you said, life is not Disneyland and he is more flawed than most.

Nothing worse as an adult than watching another adult pretend to be something they are not.

 

Because he was the biggest threat to Mayweather for quite some time now , Fans of floyd did not like that and refused to acknowledge that . Even now hes STILL a threat to that "0"
