    Unfortunately, you have learned the fact in ESB the hard way.

    If you ask for something with any boxer, even apparel related, the haters will start coming in spewing bull**** while the fans starts defending.

    And you're actual query is lost in the vacuum.

    As for your question, nope, no news yet.

    UFC definitely has the edge in apparel. When is the last time you saw any apparel company sponsoring a boxer's walk-in other than the usual everlast? It's the norm for UFC. MMA outsells boxing by far in clothing at lest here in the US. I'm not surprised Nike is going after UFC fighters, those walk-in shirts approach $80 a pop.

    Have you ever seen a non-filipino wear Pacman gear? NO.

    The word was that Nike had dropped Pacquiao for speaking out against homosexuality.
    Some feel Pacquiao was'nt given the benefit of the doubt vs Bradley for the same reason.

    Pac drew the short straw in that deal anyway. 100K is **** all when it comes to sponsorship deals, especially with nike.

    He will be able to negotiate a much higher deal now for his last couple fights, providing sponsors dont mind the fact that he is openly homophobic and has said he thinks they "should be put to death"... Disgraceful if you ask me.

    I think companies like Nike do dodgy **** in the background anyway. Comments like that I think got lost soon after with the Armstrong scandal so....

    They dropped Tiger for pimping

    They dropped Lance for doping

    They dropped Pacquiao because he said all gays should die


    Sounds about right

    Truth hurts doesn't it. Manny is nothing but a clown who gets taken advantage of by everyone. I dont understand why this effects you so much where you even have to lie to yourself. I simply stated that I read his contract with Nike was only around 100k. Deal with it. Manny signed to GBP because Oscar had a briefcase filled with money and told Manny it's his if he signs this paper. Not my fault pal. The man is a stooge. His only true fans are Floyd haters and fillipinos who spend more time and energy on Floyd and you wonder why Manny has a net worth of 25 million after this whole time and supposedly deserves 50/50. Your the clown buddy.

    You obviously wouldn't give PAC an ounce of credit without Floyd allowing you to do so....Knuckle head.:lol:

    Do you mean to tell me.....That Americans find PAC's signing and acting as "funny"??:think You don't say....:patsch

    Look you grade "A" personal salad tosser of Floyd "Money" Mayweather.....I laugh at PAC whenever he sings or whenever I see clips of his "box office" hits in Southeast Asia.:rofl But MOST countries find other cultures as strange or even funny when it comes to music and movies.

    I'm the "***" yet you are tappin' PAC's nuts and trying to discredit his accomplishments as boxer.....and the funny part about it is simply because you have a "hard on" for Floyd and feel compelled to defend Floyd's honor for whatever strange reason.

    Even if you don't want to give him credit for 8 Divisions......winning titles in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or even 7 divisions is something most fighters never accomplish....

    Yet you're actin' as though you have won titles in 10 divisions. :lol: Again....Who are you?

    You mad....:lol: How would you know how the "truth" affects me? You wouldn't be able to accept, comprehend or acknowledge the "truth" unless Floyd himself verifies and give his "OK" on what he feels about it.

    Manny's a "Clown"...:rofl Coming from you? AHAHAHA! I'm sorry kid...you're too much. You calling ANYONE else a clown (let along Manny) while you're known as the resident cornball right here on ESB is comedy gold.

    It's obviously affected you in a way that had you breaking out ridiculous stories about having access to contracts and figures between NIKE and MP.:rofl It even has you accusing me of a "LIE"? What exactly did I lie about kid? I'm interested....

    So you're bringing up PAC's contract with TR and GBP?:patsch Ok....lets' look at it....PAC came from PI....had almost NO money to his name...No real promoter...Golden Boy wanted PAC so they went about it DON KING style and showed up with a suit case full of money to entice a young, poor impressionable talent away from Top Rank...thousands of miles away from home....no one to trust and ended up making a costly mistake. Hind sight is 20/20 and a lot of young men make bad business choices.

    Nothing can compare to Floyd's bone headed business move that had him desperately reaching out to none other than Bob Arum to save his ass in more than one way.

    Floyd use to be in business with a well known manager in boxing...who also is well known in the south as a real gangster turned hip-hop mogul. Floyd was in some real hot water with this guy and owed a bunch of money......Bob of all people saved his ass....paid off his debt and made sure Floyd would live to see another day.

    It's funny how you call PAC a "Stooge" when Floyd could be Larry, Curly and Moe with his track record.

    I'm sorry kid.....but you calling me a clown is like you talking about PAC's ends as if your money is long.:rofl You're paper ain't on level to be trying to clown anyone...let alone a multi millionaire.....****ing with "bozo" over here.
