You're wrong for doubting me breh,

He was by no means a household name until after began cherry picking Mayweather's wins. Your perception would be greatly rewarded if you were able to separate ring aficionado talk with pop culture lexicon. Everything I've said holds true


He was built up to fight Mayweather, he has that country behind him and that's dollar signs for Arum. That's how these fighters get built up. Mayweather left Arum cause he wasn't giving him the same promotional push you're seeing now with Pacquiao

Another Gold Medal
China, my point is where was those se fans in America which the ppvs come from?

He was supposed to break us ppv records with a dude 2 fights removed from espn in China :why:

Are we conveniently leaving out his previous ppv buys :stopitslime:

This is a huge fight because BOTH fighters are draws, what are we even arguing here. :beli:

Lombardi Trophies in Allen Park
Nicca what? :dahell:


Federer ain't the best of his....actually forget it :snoop:

Nadal is the GOAT of clay and an ATG but that's where....actually forget it :snoop:


do you brah :ehh::mjcry::rudy:

Head to head matchups, Nadal has him beat 70% of the time breh. That is mastery. If this were something like 55/45, sure but 70% of the time?

Come on guys, let's talk more about this.

What's the future hold for these guys after this fight?

Pacquiao gonna retire or continue to fight?

Floyd goes one more fight and calls it quits or does he go for 50?


If he goes out at 49 he fulfills his Showtime contract. If he goes for 50 he gets to negotiate again with networks for his last fight - he could go anywhere for his last fight and the leverage is all his, because they know he doesn't have any obligation. I say he finishes his career on network television. Negotiate his way into a cut of the advertising revenue and if he rides the wave after this fight you should be able to have Super Bowl like viewership


Then buy the rights to all of his fights and put out a 50 fight box set - call it Mayweather 50. From there he sells the rights to his biopic movie, it does $100 million first weekend. By that time he shoul be able to find a marque fighter to fight under Mayweather Promotions

Fight wasn't close. Jmm won 8-4. He got fukked in that fight. Manny wasn't even doing nothing in that fight.
Marquez definitely won the 3rd fight rather clearly to me. But it reminds me of what Naazim once said about Manny all he has to do is bob around stutter step without even throwing a punch and people will automatically give him the round just based off his movement.

U think manny can beat Floyd on activity alone?... Similar to the close Castillo fight?

Absolutley alot of people had the Cotto fight closer than it was based off Cottos activity alone ,same with the Delahoya fight

a counter punchers dream is a boxer who comes in recklessly and open for counter shots (as well as some of the things you posted above)

some people think pacquaio is just gonna take floyds counters and keep rushing in the same way over and over again
i just dont see it.At some point in the fight pacquaio is gonna get confused and frustrated especially if he ain't landing clean.

he can throw 3-4 punch combos if he wants, how much are gonna land and whats coming back at him is the question
Except for the knock down in the 3rd round Mosley had Manny looking down right foolish at times in their fight . Naz said he saw a flaw in Mannys style and ther is no way the Mayweathers being the boxing experts that they are dont see it as well.
*Edit found the quote

Pacquiao’s defect…
“You can easily go back and watch Shane Mosley box Pacquiao and you see him get hurt and you wonder why he never gets hurt again. And if you just watch the fight and once you see that, every fighter is going to apply that method. Marquez did it in this fight and everybody else is going to do it. And once that’s revealed, eventually it’s just a matter of a timeline. It’s whether Freddie is going to make adjustments to the guy because it’s hard because the defect he has, he’s had since he’s been boxing. So for them to change it now, I even saw when they were trying to change it. So, like I said, I don’t underestimate anybody, so for me to sit here and think that the Mayweather and their high IQ of boxing that they have, they haven’t see it, would be ludicrous for me to think in that capacity.”

Marquez VS Paquiao 3 proved Freddie is unable to fix that defect . shyt even Bradley 2 proves it
