Surely if Pacquaio is to fight on it must be the super fight against Mayweather or stretch himself even further to fight at middleweight against Martinez. What possible good would it do to fight Mosley or rematch Marquez. If there is nothing more to be gained is it now time to return to Manila and elected office?
actually, if he doesn't go for a real fight, for whatever reasons, the "people's champ" should fight a tune-up in his home country, for his people that would show some class, imo
Good point, put on a big show in Manila and to hell with the PPV and big time promotors. The Philipines have been huge in their support for Pacquaio and it would be recognition and reward for that. It wouldn't hurt his political career either.
I hate it when fight fans don't realize a garbage fight is happening because the parties involved know there's good cash to be made.
I take your point, granted. But I don't think Manny needs the money at this stage. He dosen't appear to be too concerned with all the bling bling. Of course Arum is a money sucking vulture but whats Manny's motivation?
There's no such thing as having too much cash. emmanuel was already "set for life" when he fought Hatton, but he threatened to walk out if he didn't get an extra 2% of the purse. Yes, 2 ****ing percents. Wake up people.
Fighting over the precentages is a pissing contest to prove who is top dog. 100% of nothing is still nothing. It's just about face and who comes first in the pecking order.
If emmanuel didn't answer to the call of dinero, he wouldn't have fought some of his recent fights. He's rich now. People become rich by having a need for dinero!
A need for money is called poverty. As George Bernard Shaw once said "the lack of money is the root of all evil" You become rich by being successful and being smart with that success. So back to the original argument, why continue if there is nothing more to prove.
Increase the size of his bank account. Being able to make big paydays by boxing doesn't last for long. Will he ever be able to make $10million+ for 3 months worth of work after boxing?
We've already addressed the issue that he no longer needs the money. If money was the only motivation he should go straight back to Congress. Politics makes boxing money look like chump change.
Tell your boy to stop breaking the law, hitting women and going on vacation. Tell him to grow the urge and fight Packy :bbb
