    Lots of questions about what he actually has in the bank, I'm sure Arum's made out with most of his money already tbh.

    He's also donated a lot to the people in Philippines.

    At this point, I'm positive he's fighting for money. He can't give up the lifestyle.

    Great fight and money grab for two old power hitters.

    Not meaningful but action guaranteed!

    Yep. Both should retire after this fight. Pacquiao has done it all and has nothing left to prove. He's never going to fight another top fighter again, so retire and go out on top. Likewise, Matthysse, if he couldn't get to the top at lightweight, he sure ain't going to at Welterweight. Fight each other for the WBA retiree title, then call it a day.

    Pac should have gotten a rematch against the fraud Horn, Pac was robbed! Not interested in Pac/Matthysse fight, want to see Pac knock Horn out..............

    Pac hasn't knocked anyone out in a decade. He's not knocking out Horn.

    :deal:

    Sad truth is that Conor McGregor probably walked away from boxing with more money in the bank than Manny. That's what you get for messing with Arum/Koncz.

    Its just pure genetics keeping him in the game; small frame, fast twitch fibres and amazing reflexes.

    True. Some people are naturally fast and naturally strong while others go the other way.

    With all that hype? Not surprising that they raked in all that dough.

    BTW
    That's what Broner wanted to do and was sure that he could do but couldn't pull it off. Falling from such high confidence and having to accept another self image takes a great mental toll on a person.

    Amir said that the punches that knock him out would knock anybody out.

    Still is a good matchup. Will probably sell more PPVs than the Horn vs the other dude from nebraska or somewhere
