    I've got Manny. Lucas sucks these days. Pac can still hang at world level, unspectaculary.

    The man gave one of the most honest answers I've ever heard. He said that he felt "lonely without boxing" and that being in the ring "made him happy". Boxing made him. He's ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS maintained that he loves fighting.

    Then you have, as an example, guys like Floyd - who flat out say they don't love the sport.

    Lucas is way more shot than Pacquaio. Are people forgetting his last fight with Kiram, who was beating him with a basic 1-2? And how good is Kiram compared to Pacquaio? Come on now, unless Matthysse lands a home run shot, Pacquaio will beat him easily, either by decision or late round stoppage.

    Last time I checked, ticket hasn't been sold yet.
    Now is already end of May, I wonder if this will be cancelled.

    I really think Kiram took a dive, I won money on MatthysseKO/under 6.5 so Idrc.

    It's just too weird HBO clearly knew GrandPac was next and they wanted LM highlight reel KOing someone who "looks" similar to Pac.

    No-one seems to be giving a fack about this fight. Pac's career is clearly on the skids.

    I hope you're right.

    & that his loneliness isn't the result of his skills eroding (leaving him), reflexes dimming (leaving him), punch resistance succumbing...I don't know about you, but who wants to see another great retire, only to un-retire & see them lose a fight against said level of competition? Pac 10 years ago, toys with Mathysse...IMO.

    I believe it's financially motivated (upcoming presidential run), but I also believe that he's really having fun, enjoying training, and very excited to be fighting again.

    It will still make for a good fight because they will surely go at each other rather than dancing and Shamming around like Floyd....
