    Pacman is a great champion and it'd be nice to see more champions treat their opponents in the same manner after a fight.

    pac really has a good heart even in during the fight i've said this many times when diaz got knock down he rush in to see diaz and help him stand up even if he was suppose go to his corner and wait for the count. If that was another fighter he'd be jumping with joy after that KD but pac surprise me with his gesture. He even prayed to his corner after that incident.

    When pac learned that diaz is receiving treatment, increasing his purse, even have it doubled. Perhaps a portion of that would be deducted from pac's ppv shares. He's trully a nice guy, nothing more you can ask for

    Anybody ever heard of Pacman bad mouthing an opponent? Seems like a genuine nice guy and this confirms it. Fantastic fighter aswell and worth of the p4p no.1 spot.

    That just a classy move Manny. I'm glad for Diaz. I know Manny liked Diaz and even praised his humble attitude in an interview.

    This type of generosity is really typical of Manny. And he'll most probably help out the victims of the recent typhoon in the Philippines too. Kudos to him once again.

    A nice gesture,but I have yet to read anywhere that the "bonus" was actually paid to Diaz.If Top Rank doesn't bite,does this mean Manny will personally pay Diaz?:huh

    Class act... I need not say more.

    Floyd needs to take notes... Giving the money up is worth a lot more then its worth in cash. Even if it was a publicity stunt or from the heart, it goes a long way.

    Maybe Pac had read about the 91 AC-less car that DD drove around Chicago.:lol:

    Kidding aside, Manny is just pure and absolute class-- a real human being out of the ring, albeit a beast IN it.;)
