>>>Pacquiao not returning to 135 lbs. Roach

No surprise. The biggest money fights are above 135.

 

why the **** does the wbc want a sanction fee for the DLH fight when Pacman is fighting way above the 135 lb weight class.


what makes them think they deserve money from this fight?

 

With the exception of a Hatton fight, I think a 3rd fight against JMM at 135 makes more money than any fight that can be made at 140.

 

Thats alot of looking ahead being done by the Pac camp.

Like the Pac team did vs JMM, they did a whole lot of looking ahead......
its probably their way of letting the powers that be (boxing and judges) know that the sport is better off that Pacquiao wins......
....all these little mind games that team Pac plays to get them the benefit of the doubt in the eyes of the judges.

.....but I think its getting worse now with the Pac team.

I'm begginging to feel just like the JMM fight......if this fight is'nt onesided in favor of DLH, the situation is being setup so that Pac walks away with an undeserving victory.

What DLH is now saying is probably true, if he does'nt score a KO, he'll consider it a disaster.

 

no. pac and roach already said that if jmm wants a 3rd fight, he must be willing to go up to 140.

 

Its imposssible for PAC to go down at 135 again, As it will not be easy for him to lose the muscles he gain at 147. If jmm wants some then it will be at 140.

 

divac, there you go again with your conspiracy theories.... just like when nacho said that there was a conspiracy against him and the marquez bros. when both rafa and jmm lost those fights one after the other. :-(

 

I'm happy... I hope Pacquiao does go to 140. Fights against Hatton, Bradley and Judah would be very exciting.

 

Hmmn...does it mean those trying to get a fight with Pac in the lower weights better start eating more?

 

How do you explain all that looking ahead being done by Roach and team?????

Pac is really going up three weight classes here, and they're already dismissing DLH as if he were 2nd tier?
This is a fight where Manny Pacquiao can very well get truly battered and hurt, yet they're talking as if they're fighting a journeyman.....

.....it just does'nt make any sense, unless they're trying to brainwash people in high places!

 

Pac is going to fight Hatton. Hopefully Floyd will come out of retirement and fight Pac. That is the biggest fight that can be made in boxing in a long time.

 

well, i for one don't like all this looking ahead bit by the pacquiao camp. they should be concentrating all their time and energies at the task at hand which is the dlh fight. there's too much distraction there with all these talks about future plans.

 

Maybe so but because JMM's Ring title would be at stake at 135 it would just add interest and appeal to the storyline. A fight between these two is gonna be big no matter what weight they fight at but at 135 the belt provides additional incentive to the viewing audience.

 

At this point in time for Manny, belt is immaterial anymore. Belt won't be any factor anymore in his quest for a higher ranking in the ATG. Name will suffice as he is on his last phase of boxing. The excitement that can be generated in his last bouts are what will reverberate in years to come, but more importantly for him is the amount of money generated as he will need a ton of it for his expected candidacy in Phil. politics.
