Can we just get it over with and rename this site Pacquiao 24/7?

I'm really fed up with this. I'm sure this thread will be moved, but my Saddoboxing experience has been pretty much ruined. I am considering leaving the site once this season of the sports book is over.

So to all you Pacfans out there (with the exception of PacFan and C-Lo) you win.

Bro Killa... It's a normal forum phenomenon that so many fans will be starting or creating threads on the most interesting and worth discussing issues about the hottest boxer of the moment...

I agree that there's too much created at the same time just like this very moment but MODs will manage to have them in control like merging all these threads... We have the Admin and MODs to manage things out...

Hope you will reconsider your plan...

This is in the top five strangest sentences in saddoboxing history.

You think there's too many Pacquaio threads. :confused:

It's Pacquiao era, bro. Live with it.
Otherwise, create your own site.

You know what kills me.We have one pf the premiere top contributers to this place over the last 4,5 years walking away last night in Mick....for what ever reasons and god love him but this repetitive shite permeates and runs over the forum as if it was in need of an over due plunging.Might as well call it Pacs face book page at times!!

We should just have system where MODs or a selected panel can vote people off the site. The forum is seriously is trouble. I love talking about Pacquiao but JESUS have I been tired seeing his name all over this forum too! I wouldn't have started my Pacfan rant thread if it wasn't such a big deal...

Yea...I don't think anything you could possibly say would help anyone chance their decision for staying on this site. You're probably the reason everyone who wants to get out of here is leaving.

I'm in the same boat as those that think there is an overload of Pac going on around here. I have no qualms with people discussing Manny and talking about the boxing. But Manny's name is even getting in threads that have absolutely nothing to do with him. And it is perpetuated by the same old people with the same old act.

Today we have seen the same thing going on. Multiple threads started on pretty much the same topic "Blah, blah thinks Manny is god". And another thread that descended so bad that it had to be moved because it resorted to petty name calling. And all over the place you will see various threads littered with Manny despite him having little relevance to those issues.

Spicoli made the good point that we have lost a quality poster this last week. Mick might have his own reasons for leaving but I'm sure he wasn't a fan of all this. And now with Sheep making threats to leave. Well, it's a shame. A lot of us have voiced concerns. I don't know why serious huggers don't just go away to Pac forums and just come out to play here when they something meaningful or new to say. Why pollute a general boxing forum with a one track agenda? Just seems so pointless to me.

I thought you would be happy about this, this is your intent with your mass posting right?

Those who are having too much of Manny threads should live w/ this situation. You can't do anything about it. It happens in all boxing forums because Manny Pacquao is the staple subject of the moment. You can't blame the guy for achieving so much and you can't blame his fans for glorifying his achievements. Anyway, everyone has his freedom to do what he wants. If you cannot stomach the glut of Pacquiao threads, you are free to leave the forum and come back another day when the coast is clear.

You have 28 posts in a sum of THREE years and you would deem yourself fit enough too tell other active & loyal members who believe in what this site is to simply jog on ??? You have to be a plant :biteit:

One member does not make a forum just as one boxer does not make the sport.Get over your fetish already.

I know exactly how Killer feels. This place is not what it used to be and it just isn't any fun anymore. Now, I'm not ready to throw my hands up and leave just yet, but it is exasperating and I can certainly understand how long-time members would want to do so.

I will say that if Killer leaves it will be a blow to this site nearly on par with Mick leaving.

I have to agree with Killersheep. I would be posting a lot more on here, but all the bandwagon Pacquiao fans on here are killing the site. The only reason I come here is because I'm on the Boxing betting game. I've been looking for a new site, but really haven't found a right fit yet.

I hope you stick around man, this place is having some issues at the moment but it really is the best place I've ever found to discuss boxing.

Actually, there are some decent ones out there and they know who there are.

To address the issue of Pacquiao's fans, I really do think it's just an extremely vocal minority who cause all the problems. I'm sure most of his real fans are the same as any other boxing fans. However, with worldwide superstardom and extreme popularity casual fans are going to be drawn in (which really is probably a good thing for boxing, just not boxing forums :p) and along with a huge fanbase comes a huge number of idiotic, shit-disturbing fans. I'm sure Joshua Clottey fans would be just as numerous and insufferable if he was regarded in the same was Pac currently is.

cant you guys just ignore it? its not as if the first page is FULL of pac threads.

and most of the pac threads non pacfans participate, that means people are still interested.

if the pac thread is full of sh!t then no one will reply to it and the forum itself will put it on the back pages .

and pac haters still outnumbers pachuggers so whats the problem?

pacs name gets mentioned always simply because of what he had done for boxing. he is the IT boxer, even non boxing fans knows him.

But it was getting overloaded,we have been throwing them into Spam but they keep comming. If we didnt do the work the place would be full and it not fair on other fight fans in separate weights having to read and chat about Manny even when talking about the Heavyweights etc .

Whoever makes us do more work and we will vote you into being banned.

ban them if guilty! :)

pretty simple right? but why are some go to the extent of leaving the forums for good?

some even threat that if this thing continues many will leave? thats pretty lame imho.

we have a saying here in PI im kinda having a hard time translating it

"ang pikon ay laging talo"

Why should they stick around if they aren't enjoying themselves though? I'd rather have them make a thread explaining why they may leave then just see them disappear and wonder what happened to them.

I don't think it's unreasonable for people to look at the threads they are starting and to think to themselves "Is this relevant? Will this lead to healthy debate and the sharing of thoughts? Or am I doing it just to wind people up?" If it's the later then it is clearly spam and has no place on the main board.

This is a community and that always needs to be considered. Always forcing an agenda will lead to a fracturing of that community. Surely nobody who cares about this site wants that to happen? So let's all just try to be a bit more considerate of each other, and just tone it all down a bit.

Nobody is saying "let's not talk about Manny!". But people should keep Pac in relevant threads and not raise him up everywhere just for the sake of it. We are boxing fans at the end of the day. If you only want to be a Pac hugger then there are places where you can be just that. But this is a general forum. It's not too much to ask for people on both sides to sit back and reflect a little.

Right I think I will get off of my soapbox! :D

I think we better talk awesome chicks and sexy pics on the Hidden Boards.

Spicoli and Yvonne!! start the thread
:happy0931sb4::happy0931sb4::happy0931sb4:





:action: This is Manny speaking

I know i'm great, the world knows i'm great, those who doesn't even care knows i'm great. So there's no need for so many threads telling people i'm great.

Naah... I will be happy if you stay... You know, the more the merrier... The more people involved in the discussion, the better...

Actually I started 2 PAC threads today (the Cotto and Bert Sugar comments) which were eventually merged into one thread... Maybe you were overwhelmed by the number PAC threads seen on the main board... New ones and many old ones too (as old as started years ago ;D )... This is just some kind of forum phenomenon.... PAC the hottest subject today but maybe it will just die down weeks, months or a year from now...

Actually there are so many boxing topics on the daily basis but we don't really need to pay attention to each and every topic... Normally we only post replies to the ones we're interested in or we have some info/knowledge to contribute... On our own we can already control what topics we want to read or not...

I'm sure you can deal with these things that's annoying your very existence on this board... You can do it Killa... One way is to simply ignore them...

Hoping that you will stay for good...

this new pac board should keep everyone happy. ;)

Although I don't as annoyed by Saddo/Head/Pac/Xadu/Pactookadumpboxer as everyone else, I do think that things are getting a bit ridiculous, especially when he have threads about a boxer going to another boxer's fight or what two common opponents of two boxers MIGHT think IF these boxers were to ever face each other. There's some sh*t that just don't deserve a thread, & isn't an interesting topic. Just because people reply doesn't mean it's a good topic, just like just because people vote for the BNP (an extreme racist political party in UK) it doesn't make them a good political party. I remember Mick doing some great posts about lower weight boxers from the 60s & 70s & it was a great way of finding out about fighters I knew nothing about, but they would often struggle to get onto a 2nd page of replies. Does that mean they were pointless? No, it just represents we get a mass of forum members with nothing constructive to say about boxing as a sport, but who are basically WWE fans who've drifted into following a boxer (usually at least one of ODLH, Pac or Cotto)

Anyway, Greg, I implore you not to leave, what with Mick leaving, it would be a huge blow to the forum, & particularly on the statistical side where you make such a big impact.

Anyway back to The artist formerly known as SaddoBoxer, I think as irritating as posts can be, he has toned it down marginally from the point we were at prior to the Hatton fight & after the ODLH fight. My irritance comes from these 'new' members who seem to either mention Pac in every thread, or to try & put PBF, JMM or occasionally Mosley down in something that has nothing to do with them. There are other boxers outside Pacquiao & those who might face him, I remember a Berto thread turning into how Pac would beat him senseless for his '7th Divisional Title making him THE GREATEST BOXER OF ALL TIME' etc. It just takes the piss with the amount of people who want to talk about other divisions, fighters & maybe learn something new about the sport.

Wow!! Good decision Boss Saddo... At least those numerous PAC threads scattered all over the main board are now confined in one place... MODs will have lesser work managing/merging those numerous PAC threads...

I also appreciate the open language policy for this new PAC board...

Lastly I hope Mr. Killa will reconsider his plans to leave this forum (due to annoying PAC threads)... Hope he's starting to smile right now...;D

Ass clown.
got his blow up suit popped. phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..........

I think there is always going to be a glut of threads on any successful fighter. It has happened with Wlad,Calzaghe,PBF,ODLH,Hatton,Margarito to name just a few on various sites I post on over the last couple of years ...You just have to suck it up and ride it out until the next Big Name comes along and then it starts all over again! ;D
