Everybody knows manny is coming back to earn money as he lost a fortune fighting for the phillipine presidency. Quite sad how the advisor is trying to sell it like manny loves and misses the game . At 45 do you really want to smacked the face by a lot younger guys ?
Yes, it’s very unfortunate. PAC has sacrificed a great deal of his life for us boxing fans entertainment and yet these great legends still don’t have a retirement fund or a pension plan for all the years of hard work and sacrifices they have given to this sport. Which is very sad.
“Unlike Floyd, Manny didn’t cherry pick his opponents. He fought [Juan Manuel] Marquez, [Erik] Morales and [Marco Antonio] Barrera all at their best weights. He took some losses, yes, but that’s why his record as a welterweight is better than Floyd, than Oscar [De La Hoya], and it will be shown when we make the Barrios fight.”
Uh, Barrios is DEFINITELY a cherry pick opponent. Three guys have belts at 147: Bud, Boots, Barrios. And who is PacMan clamoring to get in with? Barrios. I get it. That's the easiest fight to get another belt. PacMan from years ago DID fight everybody. Dude is a legend. But don't try to gaslight people by saying him choosing Barrios isn't cherry picking.
Would rather see Pac stay retired--he already is one of the best in history. Maybe not the best welter in history, but one of the best. Overall, he did more than any champion by winning titles in 8 divisions.
Welterweight division is sorrry… Ryan needs to move up after Pac Man beats Barrios and send Pac Man into retirement with a nice bag, Im sure that’s what Pac Man team is envisioning
I'm well aware of it. Still no reason to shtt on him for coming back at 45 to fight Barrios. That's one of Tanks best wins LOLOLOL
I didn't dump on him. My whole point was to push back on Sean Gibbons insinuating this match-up isn't them selecting the best or most desirable match-up for PacMan. It's the best chance Pacquiao has to get a belt at 147 currently. Not saying it won't be competitive.
