How can he BOTH think he won AND say he was a 1-armed fighter? Isnt that a bit arrogant to think he beat Floyd Mayweather WITH ONLY ONE ARM? Shameless...........

That's a good point. Either stick with saying you won and don't make an excuse or admit you lost and then make your excuse. Don't do both and claim you won one armed.
I expected more from Pac. I thought Floyd would win but thought pac would have thrown more and we would have seen more counters from Floyd but Pac just didn't throw enough.
I wonder how his right shoulder injury effected his best punch, the left straight, of which he landed only 2 or 3 times flush, each with minimal effect.
I think his arm is fine because when he got the chance in the 4th and 6th he was winging away with it. Also he threw over 190 jabs.Quote:

What made it funnier was Pac claimed he injured it a week before the fight then freddie says 2 and a half weeks then Arum comes and says it was longer than that. But everyone will lap it up because they hate Floyd that much.Quote:

Floyd was classy enough with the interview but come on Manny, you're going to lose fans with that BS.Quote:

I feel bad for Pac because there was a lot riding on this fight. It was the same thing with David Haye and Wlad: Haye talked HUGE shit about how he was going to knock Wlad out, save the heavyweight division, had T-shirts made of him decapitating Wlad, ect. He built the stakes up very high and had millions riding on him, and in the end delivered on none of his promises and let all those millions down. So instead of saying "yes I'm a fraud I wasn't nearly as good as I said I was", he had to come up with an excuse as to why it wasn't his fault that he let everyone down.
Same with Pac only on a much larger scale. They called Mayweather a coward, said he was ducking Pac, said they would destroy Mayweather if they got him in the ring, said this and that. Then the fight happens, he can't deliver on his shit talk and let's Floyd cruise to his easiest win in years. Now they're just grasping at straws to save face.
I also love that when Pac wins, "oh it was god's will god gave me strength all glory to god". When he loses... no mention of god. I guess god's will couldn't overcome a hurt shoulder :confused:
How can you feel bad for someone $100 million in their bank account. Forget that.
I don't know if this is the Filipino in me talking but I really think he wanted to win that fight. It's just like what we see all the time with him going up against competent boxers and counter punchers. He struggles. His punch output goes down. I feel bad for him because he probably feels like he let down an entire nation and a loyal following after all his bluster pre fight. Yes money does make a difference. $100 million makes a huge one, but this is the first time when he lost that I felt he genuinely was really disappointed with the outcome. There was no "I accept the decision. Let's move on. God willed it" blah blah like after the Bradley and Marquez losses. He was blatant with his excuses.Quote:

Just look at what the loss that Hatton took at the hands of Manny did for him. He got depressed and sht even with all the money he raked in after that fight. Manny took part in the most over hyped and most widely telecast fight in boxing history where the majority of viewers and spectators were rooting for him and he lost. I feel bad for him.
Money is nothing to those guys, they've been millionaires for a long time now. The sting of his pride and the thought that he let all his countrymen and fans down is something you can't just throw money and make it go away.
It helps soften the blow.Quote:

he "won".........and with "only 1 arm" !!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAA
Money is everything for Pacquiao now. He realized this is already the pinnacle and he has a guaranteed $120M. Why would he risk another brutal KO and possibly be unable to enjoy the money. Sometime during the fight after Floyd hit him with a full blown overhead right, he had a vision of him being the President of his country and the pope of his church.Quote:
