Pacquiao has fell off big time, I mean where is this dude, about to fight in China again....nothing against China, love it, but this is clearly a sign that Manny can not sell PPV. Not at the level that HBO needs to compete with Showtime!! My understanding is that the site fee in Macau is how Manny is getting paid, they aren't even banking on PPV or actual sells outside of China. That there is sad.....HBO aint making nothing off this fight, no wonder Jim Lampley went so hard at Floyd on the Fight Game. He pissed as hell cause that Floyd money is no longer going in his pockets!! I know people still want to see the fight but Manny has no negotiating power at this point, Floyd holds all the cards, to fight Pac at this point is basically charity. Manny's taxes are so messed up Floyd would be doing him a favor just in making an offer!! Hmm I bet 40 million sounds nice right about now don't it?? Bob Arum already messed up Pac's relationship with the MGM, there is nobody in Top Rank to match Pac up with that will draw any PPV interest, and Pac's fans are still left doing nothing but trolling Mayweather threads. Pac right now is already beat, he is just going through the motions trying to collect whatever check Bob Arum got left to give him!! Now somebody please explain to me why he resigned with Top Rank when everybody saw Cotto get the Mayweather fight when he didn't resign with Arum....
This post right here is whats wrong with society today, especially here in America. People are obsessed with celebrities and their ****in status as if they eat with them. Man, this is boxing. A sport where you have to fight the best to be the best. Popularity doesnt win u a ****in fight man. You gotta fight to win a fight.
Floyd has fought 47 times, he is a proven champion, has beaten more titlist and top contenders than any other fighter in the sport, including Bernard Hopkins
atsch Pacquiao just beat the undefeated Bradley and now will be fighting another undefeated fighter.:deal
Mayweather-Maidana did 850k buys while Pacquiao-Bradley did 750-800k and that was without Khan and Broner on the undercard.
The worst thing, is this is just the tip of the iceberg. We are all going to have to read/listen to Floyd sycophants try and justify why the two supposedly best boxers of an era never fought or had to fight despite being in the same weight class, and why their guy is so great despite falling far short of notable ATG achievement for the next 10 years or so.
Ability is nothing without application. If he thinks he's better he can get in the ring and ****ing prove it. Until then, we the fans can question his heart, ability and legacy all we want.
So based off of your first post, Floyd has beat Hopkins too? Come on man. Why are people obsessed with others' popularity and how much money they make?
Manny has already beaten Mayweather. Manny stopped Hatton brutally in 2 Mayweather almost went the distance Manny stopped De La Hoya, Oscar almost beat Floyd Manny stopped Cotto, Cotto had success against Floyd Manny dropped Mosley, Mosley almost stopped Floyd. Manny destroyed Margarito, Floyd ducked him. Manny dropped Marquez countless times, Floyd dropped him once. I know KO6 it took him 4 tries. Manny stopped prime Morales twice, Floyd ducked him Manny stopped and beat Barrera, Floyd ducked him as well. This pretty much says it all:deal
Hey Red your village just called to say youve gone missing again. An APB was issued Be on the lookout for our idiot :nut The only ones losing $$$ are Floyd & Showtime I''ll lay odds Showtime wont release the PPV numbers for Floyd-Maidana heads will roll at Showtime over this Hows Floyd's poor wittle hand doing? :|:| That phantom bite musta really hurted :rofl:rofl
