Pacquiao in the shit and will be fighting a few more years yet!

[Ron Swanson]

Two words-Bob Arum

Did you hear his nonsense about Mannys tax money? Bob withholds it then it goes to Konkz company to pay it. Unnecessary extra steps are an easy way to have "confusion".

Bob has been giving Manny loans which have penalties and interest and he pays Manny with Mannys own money. The "loans" are actually Mannys residuals that Manny never receives. The guy is straight evil but boxing reporters don't call him on his BS because they want that next interview.

[p4pking]

Probably true, but it still doesn't clear Pacquiao of being an idiot. Arum is just a typical promoter, if you want to feel sorry for someone under his roster look to the guys who aren't getting opportunities, not the cash cow who doesn't have the sense to look into where his own money is going.

[Beanflicker]

Oh Manny...

Like p4p said it's hard to have sympathy for these guys. Manny loves to hand over money to anyone who asks? How about handing some money over to a good accountant? Maybe a good investment banker? Dummy.

[Ron Swanson]

I hear you guys that in the end Manny is responsible for Manny but I know a few people who have lost their nut giving their money to investment bankers as well.

I just want to see someone call Bob on his BS. It never stops and nobody questions it. Take that BS stadium. When you build a bigger place you only create more cheap seats. His numbers he through out were clearly not even close to reality. Why didn't one reporter say Bob I did the math and that isn't close to right. I mean MGM wanted a 2 fight agreement to cover the LOSSES. Why didn't anyone say hey Bob....

Top fighters and World Champions going broke and bankrupt while they are still active participants within the sport is nothing to celebrate.

That's part of the call for Boxing to be banned in many parts of the world.
The sportsmen leave the sport with broken bodies and damaged minds, and not even any money to show for it.
About 99% of the approximate 19 thousand licensed pro boxers worldwide will never see a big payday. Ham-and-egger extra weekend money while working a day-job.
Of the 1% that see the huge paydays, very, very few keep any of it nor manage to be solvent after their career is over.

Hey, it's their money, they can spend it however the f*<k they want as they earned it with their sweat, sacrifice, and pain. But this sport is f*<ked, wouldn't you agree?

[ross]

The problem is so e fighters are thick!

Mayweather probably pisses alot of his cash away but I bet he has the ense to pay the tax man first.

Manny probably gets a tiny percentage of his purses after all expenses so to owe so much he must never have been paying any! Its ridiculous and I cant see how he can ever be rich when he has so few big fights left and such a massive debt!

So basically they need the Floyd fight, which is why all the demands are being dropped and Manny has suddenly got over his fear of needles?

[Max Power]

David Haye, Sultan Ibragimov, both Klitschko brothers, Lennox Lewis...

These are the smartest boxers on the planet. Vitali, Wladimir and Lewis were dominant champions who beat the living shit out of virtually all of their opponents and barely sustained any damage at all during their entire careers, had good business management skills and did/will retire rich and healthy.

Haye and Ibragimov not nearly the same level of success but again, they beat the shit out of nearly all their opponents, sustained barely any damage and retired healthy and wealthy enough to live comfortably the rest of their lives.

Pacquiao ought to be ashamed. How can one waste so much money!

Exactly he needs the money now. Money should just avoid him and let Pac erode. The leaches will have nothing to hang onto and will sell the rights / info to all the steroid use Pac actually did . I posted
this many many years ago. Pac will get exposed for the fraud he really is.

The Phil's will again be known for cheating & corruption. From Marcos to littles league baseball, pork barrels and now the finale Manny the Arum fraud puppet.
