Peru has great cocaine thats all.

 

So youre saying the cocaine influences Peruvian politics?

 

I think he really loves fighting, and it's not about the money with him. He's like Chavez and Duran, who fought on into their forties. Holyfield, Hopkins, and Jones fought on through their forties too. Also, he's a proud symbol to the Philippines, and by fighting he stays popular politically. That could help him if he decides to run for president.

 

Broner fight probably does 500k+ ppv. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if it does over 700k.

Broner is the biggest name he’s facing since mayweather and in US so promotion will be stronger.

 

Pacquiao is 1 of them fighters who loves to fight
Same as he loves a good tear up

 

The Panamanian Government took away a lot of Duran`s money and he gambled the rest away, so he had to fight, Holyfield gambled a lot of his money away also and after his two lucrative fights with Tyson, his wife took control of his finance, leaving him with only 1 million dollars, golddigger of the year or what? I think the year I read that was 1996.

 

He thinks he`s got more left than he actually has, it`s ego he`s delusional about his abilities and about younger fighters abilities to deal with him, nearly always happens, Hearns, Leonard, Ali, Tyson, they just can`t accept father time has caught them, it`s like squeezing all the toothpaste out of the tube, there`s always that one good fight in them, and there never is, this will probably end bad for Manny, hopefully he doesn`t get brain damage, there should be an age limit in boxing for sure.

 

The narco economy fuels the real economy in many countries.

The politcians and enablers ALWAYS want their cut.

The banks have to do something with all that money so they sell their products; loans, mortgages, handling fees, overdraft fees, bonds, stocks, shares etc etc etc

The last thing a bank wants to do is sit on your money and not have it work for them. It always has to be moving and circulating.

HSBC and Santander are notorious for handling South American and Asian drug money.

 

I love Pac and I think he genuinely still loves boxing. But I also believe he is "spend what you make" kinda guy and is broke or close to it.

 

Yup.Duterte expose the BS fired several politicians, some of them were involved in the drug ice trade.Philippine was a few years into becoming like Mexico narco politics.

 

I remember him getting a lot of backlash some years ago.
Supposedly he was barely doing anything and was just a political ploy for his party. Which makes a lot of sense.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if both Floyd and Pac are both nearing bankruptcy

Boxers just seem to be the worst professionals in sports at keeping their money and using it wisely

 

Amazing



I think my dream night out on the town would be with Gareth A Davies and Kalle Sauerland because I know I would be getting absolutely wrecked but I'd also be safe and protected, Gareth is a very dangerous man with those high kicks.

 

The kid from the Creed movies called out RJJ and Roy said if the fans wanna see it, why not?

The funny thing about it, that it would do much better PPV than Errol vs Mikey e.g.

Conor vs Malignaggi
Floyd vs Khabib

New era in boxing because the real fights don’t sell
