Why does anyone here care either way. You all know it's about money and nothing else. So don't buy into it, I surely won't. I have 4 options (paying for this isn't an option, oh i said that already) 1 see if it is on an online stream for free 2 wait for it to be available for download (usually within an hour after it ends) 3 Wait for the replay on HBO or where ever 4 Wait for it on a replay on vs. or espn classics some time in the future.
Pac may have a decent chance depending on how drained DLH is from making 147. Pac is a better fighter than DLH, at least at this stage in his career, but he's just so small comparatively. He's a guy who just had his first fight above 130 against a guy who's been a welterweight and larger for 11 years.
Could it be that Pacquiao's not the one facing a guy 2-3 divisions below him? Could it be that Pacquiao is not the one who said "Fighter A is too small for me to fight", and then fought someone a weigh division below fighter A?
I don't agree with the comments of the poster you quoted, but your remarks are laughable too. You are making the same mistake he is making... maybe worst. I respect Pac for making many fights possible, but sometimes your love for Pac makes you blind.... at the point that you end up completely contradicting yourself, like in this case. (ONCE AGAIN) This fight has nothing to do with "having balls" ..... it has to do with MONEY, and you actually acknoledged that in the beginning of your comments, maybe you didn't realise that. (See above) Ask yourself the following question: How many people woud fight Hoya for 10 or 15 mil? Let me tell you something, I would fight Hoya for a lot less than that and I am pretty sure that many would do the same too. Do you really think that only Pac, from the 135 division, would fight Hoya for that amount? Of course the answer is NO. Forbes fought Hoya for less than that, peanuts in comparison,... I guess Forbes has the biggest balls in town, unfortunately nobody gave him credit for doing that. SHAME ON US.
True Manny called out Oscar, but so did Margarito. Worst yet DLH said he would fight the winner of Cotto vs Margo and instead of keeping his promise, he chose to fight the smaller Paquiao. That's where all the hate is coming from
Because he's the smaller man moving up, if Pac wins this will do A LOT for his legacy, moving up from 135 all the way to 147 against a serious opponent in Oscar is no joke for someone in Pac's situation. If anything Pac is being praised for his courage here even though money does play a major role but could also be a horrible move for Pac if he loses as many expect him to.
Well if you blame it on Manny,don't worry cuz he is gonna get ****ed up in december,revenge will be sweet
