Manny Pacquiao Says ‘The Lord’ Told Him He Was Going To Lose To Floyd Mayweather
BY BANSKY • 10/8/2015
For most, the Floyd Mayweather decision victory over Manny Pacquiao back in May was not only a clear victory but also a safe bet. Experts knew Floyd’s slick, defensive style would stymie Manny’s relentless attack and make for a boring fight and a decisive victory for Mayweather. Apparently Manny knew this as well, and his information came from the mightiest source of them all: God.
Yes, Manny Pacquiao told Karen Davila of ANC’s “Headstart” in the Philippines that “The Lord” showed him in a dream a month before the fight that he would lose. “One month before the fight I dreamt that I lost the decision,” Manny told Davila during an interview in which he announced he plans to run for Senate in 2016.
Manny continued, saying in half-English, half-Tagalog that he felt blessed to know the result before the fight: “It was already shown me. So I am still blessed because the Lord informed that this would happen.”
This conflicts with Manny’s immediate response to the result of the fight, when
he told Max Kellerman that he thought he’d won the fight. Manny also blamed his performance on a shoulder injury that required surgery soon after the bout.
Manny went on to say he does plan to fight again in 2016 before his senatorial run later in the year. Check out the entire interview below.

always felt they were building towards that before broner lost to maidana
lost steam after that but who knows
If broner would have beaten maidana, broner/floyd would have easily did over 1 mill ppv buys
Broner was undefeated and on the p4p list.
That fight would have had way more hype than floyd/maidana.

Barry Hunter on Adrien Broner:
"If, in my opinion, if he stays focused and do the things he's capable of doing, along with the gifts that he has...then he WILL be that Second Coming. In fact, I mean, he may surpass him"
"He's a funny kid man, I got a bad habit of calling all of em kids because I watched em grow (been working with AB since he was 17), but he's a funny guy. Normally, I'll get the phone call when he does something or when something's not right, and I got the call from him, I was in Florida at the time, after the Shawn Porter fight. I didn't go, because I didnt WANT to go, because I knew he wasn't right. I didn't think he did the necessary things he needed to do to beat Shawn. Now, take nothing away from Shawn Porter, cause Shawn did what Shawn needed to do. I thought Shawn listened to his Dad like he was supposed too, and I know he trained for the fight, but skill for skill, Adrien Broner is just a piece of work man, he can do his thing. Most of his wounds are self-inflicted, once he stop hurting himself, then he will become that great fighter that we all thought he could become. I'll get a call from him, you know, when things are not right. He called me up and he said that he's wanting to come back to DC and he told me he wanted to turn his life around. It's a process, but I saw some improvement. We still got a little ways to go...but I think he's gonna make it"
That feeling when a highly respected Boxing trainer co-signs the exact same thing you see when looking at a fighter

His boring ass don't want them J-Rock problems.
Skill level? What skill level does this graceless toothpick legged hype job think he has? He can punch hard and that about sums up his garbage ass skillset.
Thank Jebus for that. Nobody needed to see Oscar sully his legacy while getting beat up by someone who would not have been on his level in his prime.
whose p4p list?
