    So you base your reasons on Manny selling out on IFs? IF LWW doesn't offer enough challenges, IF he's not sure who the best-of-the-rest LW...

    That's honestly your stone cold proof that Manny is selling out? On assumed situations?

    How did he sell out when this will be a very difficult fight for him with not many picking him to win?

    Margarito would destroy him for far less money. That's why.

    By taking the money fight. By having an easy excuse if he loses.

    All fighters want the big money fight, wasn't Margarito literally begging DLH to fight him recently?, isn't that a sell-out too when there are two active opponents that already beat him out there calling him out?. The money part is typical and normal in boxing, all fighters go for that.

    As far as having an easy excuse if he loses, he might have that for a while but in the long run this might be ignored, in the end it's his decision to move up two fights and take on a dangerous opponent. He's only selling out if it was an easy money fight with no risk at all, this fight bring him a lot of money but isn't easy at all, the risk is huge.

    The risk is huge? Why? If he loses will people say: "Manny is crap...even a past-it DLH beat him easily"? No...people will say: "who cares he lost...DLH is so much bigger; Pacman should never have fought at that weight; pointless fight; proved nothing!"

    This fight brings no risk save injury-risk to Pacman.

    Or change that to "or me" at the end. :lol: Really. In the end pro boxing is a business. He could go the rest of his career and not earn this type of money for all of his remaining fights total. This is a no brainer. Besides, he gets 'credit' for stepping up as ODLH gets 'discredited' for the fight.

    Getting KO'd in brutal fashion is always a risk and a negative to his career and last I checked that's what almost everyone is predicting.
