:rofl:rofl great post.

this fight is far from dead imo.

No, not that part of course. The pictures told the story very well without the comments (english not being my first language I didn't even realise the offense of the content.)

 

Whatever, guys.

I'm out.

See you tomorrow.

 

Widdow, you are an absolute tool sometimes. But this is a ****ing great post.

 

made me laugh

 

Every culture puts great store in respect Bula,but Pac has gone too far here.This is greed pure and simple.
I know you want to defend him,but Hatton has self respect too,and respect for the sport,hence his willingness to make this fight to the point where he made the necessary concessions to Manny.
So Manny still moves the goal posts,depriving the fans of the fight.
That sucks,regardless of respect.

 

Oh great thread btw Widdow.:good

 

thats class!! ha ha

 

how long that take ya??

 

but there are 2 people involved here in a world wide sport. one brings all the talent to the table and the other brings all the money. simple as to be honest.

in england our idea or respect if for everything to be throw to the side, and for us to say, lets split it down the middle and do this.

 

Do any of us have all the facts? I know I don't. To me, what seems to be rubbing Pac. the wrong way is that Arum made an early deal without Manny's consent, and that pissed him off from the get go, and I do believe it is cultural thing, regarding "proper negotiations" and Manny is taking it as disrespect.

I'm a white American dude and I do business with people of many different cultures, and as a whole there certainly are differences with the way deals are made from one culture to the next. Add to this the dealings I do are done in the US, so if anything, the different cultures I've dealt with have actually diluted their methodology to be able conduct business here.

So here's Manny, the P4P champ, an icon in his homeland, a proud guy, with a lot of capital and the responsibility to represent his homeland properly, and he's not been involved from the get go in the biggest negotiation of his career, and he has stated that this is a huge problem. I believe him.

Initially my American perspective was, "What the F%$& is Manny thinking?, if I were him I'd take the money and run!!!" But I'll be the first to admit, be it cultural or just the way I am (probably a bit of both), I want the money first as long as it's ethical, and if I need to make concessions I don't give a crap, I don't have much pride when it comes to making deals, as long as it's reasonably fair. But I know, that many people and cultures, place a great deal of emphasis on the honor, tradition, even the ritual of conducting a proper and respectful negotiation, and I think that's what Manny has done here.
