Manny's "shoulder injury" is just an excuse for them to have a rematch

    I think manny and pbf are in on it, and they finnessed the world for 500 million dollars in their first fight. i think the second fight would make a billion or close to a billion just based on more anticipation due to this "shoulder injury" being repaired and manny being at his 100% during the rematch. who else do you think floyd will fight? do you really think he wants his last payday to be 35-40 million or do you think he's going to retire sitting on a billion dollars. I say floyd goes broke in 20 years after he retire if his last payday isn't a couple hundred million.

    Possible.

    Manny will go broke first imo, too many leaches and Bob/Koncz stealing his money

    He already has problems with the IRS.

    As lousy as the first fight was, I dont see where a Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch will sell anywhere near what it did the first time around.

    Well. The shoulder injury isn't a lie. That will be the narrative both fighters play up, even Floyd. Heck, he was playing it up today w/ that Instagram video. Just because they play it up though doesn't mean it isn't legit. Pacquiao's shoulder injury is as real as Mayweather's win.

    Dude, it could have a 50% decline in viewership and a still set the #2 record in boxing for almost everything. That is how crazy famous, appealing these two dudes are. It's insane to think about. And I promise you that's what Floyd is thinking about.

    Pacquiao/Mayweather individually made more money in 36 minutes than Lebron has made in his entire on-court career.

    It's a poor excuse. But, I don't think it was planned by both guys. Manny can't accept the loss and in a rematch he will probably be just as classless in defeat.

    Manny has always been delusional and you can bet he had the shoulder excuse pre-planned. When has this guy not used an excuse every time he's lost or for ducking blood testing? The fight wasn't very good but a rematch is easy money for both fighters.

    I really hope the fight doesn't happen again. Manny still has a couple good fights in him, I don't want one of them to be another 12 rounds of him cutting the ring poorly. I love the guy, but Mayweather is all wrong for him. That, and no one does better against Mayweather the second time around. It would be a freaking clinic, no KO, just a 12 round boxing lesson. Both these guys can walk away with amazing legacies, 1 was enough for me. I want to see both these guys wrap up their careers with fun, exciting fights.

    I've always felt Pac should go down to 140 for his final fights. I keep forgetting, but he's only 36! If he fought till the age that Mayweather did, then he'd still have like 6 more fights left. He could reign in the lower divisions.

    Have you seen what Floyd surrounds himself with? I think floyd is a good guy at heart, not a shining example of a human like Pacman but he's not a bad guy, I feel sorry for him though, he seems incredibly lonely and insecure and has bad OCD, I don't see it ending well for him regardless of his mountain of money, he will never curb his spending or the hollow aspects of his life that have stemmed from his desolate upbringing, he'll go broke for sure imo, it's a worn out story in boxing.

    The man lives in a $20m home, has a string of other propertys all mortgage free. Tens of millions of dollars worth of cars, jewellery etc, a plane all bought and paid for.

    He will retire with a couple of hundred million in the bank after taxes. Do you realise how much money you could spend daily and only ever touch the interest!!

    If he goes broke then he must have lived one hell of a life!! Pacman will be broke of that i have no doubt and i certainly do not laugh about it like most. So many leeches surround him, far too nice of a guy to possess so much wealth. Arum will cast him off once he retires.

    I just can honestly see him making a few comebacks, he gambles like a madman. Look at Holyfield and Tyson, didn't Evander have a 20 room mansion or something? I get that they weren't even in the same ballpark financially but I think Mayweather will never successfully tone down his excesses, and if he does, he will substitute with other addictions trynna cope with losing the limelight as a fighter. His OCD with his clothes and such, something like that isn't really a problem with that much money but it could creep into other things.

    Floyd has a whole neighbourhood of leeches if what he shows to the public is anything to go by, he practically pays for their whole lives, just look at the ms jackson farce, times that by 50.

    I don't want to see pacman get another rematch.

    You get your biggest payday against a guy that you've been incessantly talking trash about for over 5 years, than you put up THAT kind of performance on fight night?

    So he injured his non-dominant arm/shoulder during the match, so what? Pacman used to be a one handed fighter for a good part of his career. I remember him only using his left hand in fights back in the mid 2000's when he was taking on those mexican greats at lighter weights, and even as a one-handed fighter he would average around 70-80 punches per round.

    So this idea that his right arm was nagging him to the point where he wasn't throwing punches is inaccurate. He fought the majority of his career using only one hand. The problem was he took on someone who's just clearly superior to him inside the ring. He took on an ATG that isn't some stationary target like Marquez or Rios. An arm injury wasn't going to change the fact FLoyd was the faster and the bigger man on that night.

    I like Pacman as a person, but him and his team did a lot of trash talking for years, kept insinuating Mayweather was scared, and than on fight night instead of taking the loss like a man, he starts bit$hing to the high heavens about his injury. everyone talks about him being so classy and than he acts like an infant after he lost in a very one-sided manner.

    I'd have so much more respect for him if he just gave Mayweather his just due. Look at Sergio Martinez, the guy had legitimate injury concerns going into his fight with Cotto. He ended up getting dominated, and during the post fight interview with Kellerman when Max was pressing Sergio about his injuries being a cause of his poor performance, he didn't take the bait and instead said it wasn't fair to talk about his injuries and discredit Cotto's win. Now that's a classy fighter.

    Screw him, I hope he ends up retiring. He really closed out his legacy on a very sour note.
