It's now impossible to support Pac

I do not like Mayweather in any way shape or form. As far as I'm concerned, he's an arrogant, wife beating, cherry-picking a-hole who bores the hell out of the casual sports fans who buy his fights then say "that's what wrong with boxing."

I actually think Manny's a decent guy who has done a ton of good for his people. Most of the time, I've cheered for him to win.

I am the "fight guy" in my group of friends. The one with the fight parties who typically picks up the tab for the PPVs and lets my buddies know when a good fight is about to go down on TV. As a result, my friends ask me if I think an upcoming fight will be good or why things happen/don't happpen in boxing.

Now, with Floyd fighting Ortiz, they are asking "why not Pac?" And the only thing I can tell them is "because Manny won't do the testing Mayweather wants and Ortiz will." Most have responded, "Manny's being stupid, he should just take the test," and I have no response.

It is impossible to continue to support Manny in this endeavor.

I am officially changing my tune. Until Manny looks into a camera and publicly declares that he will conform to OSDT, it is impossible for me to support him.

 

Let me put it this way. Mayweather stood in the ring and announced on live television in front of a couple million viewers that he would fight with testing.

After his fight with Mosley, Pac did not state on live tv that he would take the test. Pac needs a live, public declaration to save his credibility. Something edited and subtitled, then retracted, is crap.

 

Any ideas of a better way to explain the fiasco? Most guys don't want a five minute summary of negotiations that may or may not have happened.

 

This. Other than the money I think Pac could care less if he fought Mayweather.[/quote]


Agreed.

 

I do loans and sell real estate for a living. Every completed deal has some compromise on both sides. The best deals happen when each party feels like they gave up a little something in order to get what they really wanted.

 

After about 15 seconds, the average guy doesn't want to listen anymore. There's only one way I've found to explain it in one sentence, and that's why I wrote the thread.
