Hate to agree because love Pac but I do agree with this. If he went in injured and just kept it in the dark, thereâs no winner in that. Everyone loses. He doesnât get points for doing a good job injured and rocking up because he never should have rocked up unable to fight 100%, all that says is he wanted the cash and was afraid Mayweather would run if it got delayed.
Yeah they are going to make Manny and crew look like a bunch of liars and the ones who really cared about the money only. Fucking genius of a heel turn!
nah he wasnt offensive enough. he was getting launch doing magic series and then instead of lightning attack he would just end in roundhouse causing fly screen only to superjump away again
On ESPN First take, both Skip and Smith start talking in disgust about what Manny did⌠Skip now is about to praise Mayweather for giving a rematch just 3 days after and actually feels a bit angry that Pacquiao didnât give any shit about giving the fans what they wanted after all. Mean Gean style.
Hollywood Pacquiao 2016!
75/25 split, pacman will still get a bigger purse than what he can get taking on any other fighter. To be honest, Iâm not mad at Manny Pacquiao at all. He wanted to get that big payday if he was injured, and if somehow he wasnât injured then he wants another big time payday.
The truth is Pacman isnât getting any younger. Heâs been in a ton of fights and have took a lot of damage. If he can secure another big time payday with Mayweather heâll probably be able to retire after his contact is over next year. *
*Pacman has been fighting the IRS and Filipino gov on tax evasion charges for a few years now. Filipino gov says Pacman owes them over $50 million USD. *
I donât think the Philippines can double tax Pacquiao. Iâm sure thereâs a tax treaty between the two countries that prevent double taxation. The Philippines canât collect taxes from Pacquiao if he already did it in the United States. If Pacquiao didnât pay taxes in the United States, he would have been bodied by the U.S. government quicker than Mayweatherâs jab.
So I finally watched the fight again. Yeah Manny was fighting like an amateur imo. I nderstand how good Floyd is, but Manny was making silly mistakes. Lunging and Floyd, wide punches and when he was cornering Floyd he simply wouldnât do anything. I agree that Floydâs holding was overused and Kenny Bayless should have deducted a point. But either way Manny simply wasnât fighting like he normally does and it showed.
Also went back and watched round 4 of that fight. Not sure why Manny let up at all while Floyd was on the ropes. He should have just stayed on him. But whatever.
The Philippine gov are generally crooks anyway but i do think this story is going to play a role to the birth of Hollywood Manny Pacquiao. There is just no way a heel Manny would sell well with the Philippines still loving him as their hero. After he gets out of jail he will get his first Philippine tv interview, he will shockingly cuss his mom or wife live. He will then start bitching about how much he has done for the country, how much of an icon he is, and how he is being repayed with this tax bullshit. He will end up firing Freddie Roach soon after that and then cap Paulie Malinagi from behind during an Ellie Setback interview. He will be this hero who fell from grace. Meanwhile, Floyd mayweather is donating to the poor and helping the Philippines regardless of being treated like HBK in Montreal. He will march in his Sept fight with Kirk Franklin and then will go on a live video interview on espn with Hollywood Manny pacquaio which will end up with Floyd trying to go all heart to heart while Manny is really being offensive and bitter.
This will be the fire shot for their rematch⌠floydâs last match in where Floyd will drop his belt to Pacquiao. He will face his first defeat yet at the same time taste his very first victory because he will finally win the respect of the fans in his last match. Hollywood Pacquiao however will be the new villain of boxing. Time passes and now a new man is rising in Amir Khan. Pac starts trash talking about how Khan was this kid who picked up his bags and who he dropped every 4th round of sparring⌠the media will then see Amir Khan as this huge underdog who is commiting career suicide. Khan will then reveal that he will be trained by Juan Manuel Marquez under Mayweather promotions. Khan defeats Manny, a defeat in where we will see the return of the hero - the Manny Pacquiao we knew who told us to say our prayers, eat our vitamins, and fought for us. He will then raise Khanâs hand which will signal a passing of the torch and crowning Khan as the new face for the new generation of boxing.
