Manny Pacquiao vs. Keith Thurman Is Officially Official!! Set For July 20th. On Fox PPV.

Bhop barely made 5 percent of the money that Pac did by the time Bhop was 40.
Also, dont forget that Bhop and Pac have completely separate styles. Bhop was a spoiler who didnt get hit clean very often. Manny style relies on speed. As he is slowing down hes bound to get caught.
Look, I'm not hating on Pacman, I'm a big pac fan and watched many of his fights and I still do, but given how much he has earned there's simply no reason for him to keep banging on. Especially in the ring where you can get seriously hurt.

 

How would one outside of Pac’s circle know for sure he is having money problems?

 

Since KTFO6:

• Rios — won 12 rounds
  
• Bradley II — won 8-9 rounds (undefeated)

and was never dominated in any of those rounds. He hasn't been dropped or hurt, either. Does this look like a guy that needs to hang them up ASAP?

If Pacquiao gets KO'd by Thurman and then comes back and gets KO'd by a tune-up/comeback, then yeah, time to hang'em up.

Note: not counting Floyd fight because Floyd was on PEDs, Pac was injured, and not much happened in that fight

 

You're making it seem as if Pac has been getting thoroughly dominated or beaten up by lower tier fighters when that hasn't happened at all. He's still competitive with anyone, which is astonishing for a guy his age and style. Unless he's been getting beaten up by bums fight after fight then that's when we should be talking about him retiring.

Right now it doesn't matter why he's still continuing. I'm sure he has plenty of money in the bank, just wants to keep fighting for the fans.

 

I know people that are close to the Senator. Not lying here.
He is terrible with his money. He cant say no to people in need. His primary reason for fighting his financial. That's it.
As for Pacman putting in good performance he sure is. Its pretty amazing how he's still beating this younger guys.
That being said, I think he's taking an unnecessary risk at this point in his age by fighting this prime young lions.

 

You're a POS bitter hating ****. Still mad that I was right about PBF all along and you were wrong, still upset about May 2nd 2015 the night your world ended. You're a racist POS claiming that I would be down with Pac if he was Black. If he was Black it would make no difference I would say that he needs to retire like I'm saying now. You wouldn't be down with Pac if he was Black that's for damn sure.

You're mad because I'm telling it like it is and I will continue to do so, if you don't like it too bad fight me. The man is broke and has been carefully selecting his opponents since he fought Bradley that is the truth. Horn was a cherry pick gone wrong and he still needs to avenge that loss. Lucas was shot Broner checked out and Thurman looked like **** in his last fight so now all of a sudden they think he's easy work. But if the Thurman who was a P4P fighter before the layoff shows up Pac is gonna get outboxed and beat up and possibly stopped. There's a reason why he's not going after the real elites of the division like Crawford or Spence. Because they will destroy him end his career and end his payday tour he's on.

 

You might wanna look up the different meanings and uses of the word 'legend', don't let your personal bias fool you there...

 

That's because he's not fighting anybody. Wins over a shot Lucas and a checked out Broner have people fooled, his real level is Horn. Lucas and Broner are just just name fighters not good fighters anymore. Crawford showed you what you do to guys the level of Horn. If Thurman returns to his former P4P self you will understand what I mean when I say he hasn't been fighting anyone and it's easy to look good facing non threats. If pac wants to keep facing non threats for paydays then fine but his fans need to quit acting like he's doing something special and is fighting and beating top fighters because he's not. The fight against Thurman will tell us alot.

 

So many posters here post about how Pac is broke already... it's more a matter of what they HOPE is the case.

 

You're just a dumb ass hater. Pac shut Broner out and had him running for dear life and looking up at the clock. Broner didn't run against Maidana, Porter, or Mikey. In fact, he walked them all down at some point or another.

You're just angry that Pac picked Thurman because your boy Floyd was exposed as a PED cheat and fought Berto, McGregor, and a Japanese bantamweight to preserve his 0. You're also mad that Floyd is broke and had to do an embarrassing windows commercial in the UK.

Your last paragraph says it ALL — Instead of celebrating a living ATG, you pray hard for his demise. You're saying that Pac is cherrypicking Thurman (LOL) but you want Spence and Crawford to fight a shot 40 year old midget???

You're mad at Pac for having a better career than Floyd.

Floyd called out Pac and then swerved him and VADA testing. AGAIN.

You're a freaking dummy.

 

STFU you pathetic nuthugger. *******s like you played up the Broner fight even making threads about how dangerous Broner was and you were worried that he could stop Pac. I called you out in your thread about that because I knew you were trying to build Broner up so you could claim it as some great victory for Pac afterwards because you have no shame. I saw right through your pathetic attempt and agenda and so did many others who laughed at your thread dumbass. Broner has been done for years he's only fighting for money he doesn't care about the sport and 95% of the people here picked Pac to embarrass him except you. Now you're talking about Broner running for dear life you're too easy.

I don't care about Thurman I'm not a even really a fan of his but I feel the only reason why Pac picked this fight is because they saw how bad he looked in his last fight. If Thurman shows up from before he had the layoff it will back fire on Pac if he doesn't and has nothing left then the gamble will pay off and I'm sure you'll make 1000 threads about what a great ATG victory it was.

PBF beat Pac it's over as far as I was concerned he could have retired in the ring after that fight but he had 1 more fight on his contract left but he's been retired since the Berto fight. He fought Conor for a mega payday and remember Pac wanted to fight Conor to and would have taken that fight as well if it was offered to him. If Pac could get 10 million dollar pay days doing exhibitions he wouldn't be fighting real fights jackass. BTW Pac did that lame fish in a can commercial but you don't bring that up now do you?
BTW PBF didn't call out Pac for a rematch he was joking but to autistic crazed person like you thought he was being serious not only that the fight didn't warrant a rematch 118-110 let that sink in.

 

You need the help still trying to defend The IV Kid

 

Joking? Dude stood back with his bodyguards and flat out challenged Pac. Then he acted all cordial and nice at basketball games. Then he went and scouted Pac and was like hell naw. Floyd knows he can't use PEDs in the rematch. Who else turns down a $150 million pay day for as you say easy work. The guy who can't cheat again. That's who.



BTW, if Pac had fought someone else other than Thurman, your ***** ass would say Pac ducked him.

 

I'm not too bothered by this fight. It's definitely Pac's last chance and possibly hurrah as a world champ. Thurman would have been a fool to pass this. BUT...BUT..after this, has to be TC or Spence within a year.

 

Just like Maidana bullied & roughed up Froid but got screwed by the NSAC/Vegas corruption
