Pac is stuck with Top Rank and can't co-promote a big event on his own with another promoter, without Top Rank's approval. Pac can co-promoter with 50 cent on small shows, ESPN friday night fights type calibers, but Top rank will do the big time events like HBO PPV, SHOWTIME, etc.
No. Manny is a novelty. A funny little Asian who was koing bigger men. Without that hes just a boring religious nut who can barely read. Oscar and Floyd have charisma. One "good" the other "bad" but they can move units outside the ring. Without boxing Manny is not interesting. If Manny loses to Marquez again or he doesnt perform his profitability will drop even more.
If that's all it is then what's the problem....its better having a wild card in the game. TMT has been goin' hard since they popped on the scene....I think its smart....only becuase Fif has the capital to take the kinds of risks that will see big returns on their investment....partnering up with a big player like Pac....Floyd or both only gives them more money to help launch this company in a major way..
Some might actually share you view...but the majority view Pac as an ATG who has a lot of historical accomplishments, not just in the ring but outside of it. Fighter of the decade.....congressman......8 division champion.....actor, singer...I could go on but you get the point. TIME magazine doesn't waste time writing stories on "novelties".
Being a filipino confressman means little to Americans. Means even less to Boxing fans because we know Manny is ******ed. His boxing accomplishments wont mean much to casuals and among boxing fans hes seen as catchweight champ who lost 3 times to Marquez. Facts are Floyds bigger then Manny. Sells more pay per views then manny. Floyd is interesting inside and outside tge ring. When Floyd was in jail he was still the top story in boxing. If Manny isnt knocking cats out, nobody cares. Its that simple. Hes the William Hung of boxing. Funny little asian man who talks funny and knocks cats out. Manny hasnt knocked anyone out in a loooong time.
damn. brutally honest. i forgot all about that guy. ****ing attention ***** talked a good game. but still no "story".
