I just cannot help myself with my addictive, narcissistic personality and all. You know, Andre. I feel really bad for all those people who spent a lot of money on the PPV, the tickets, even paying for a flipping weigh in just to have Manny grinning in the ring and then moaning about a shoulder injury afterwards. How can you grin in the ring and then claim an injury? You should be furious, angry, driven if you fight or else more sensible in calling it off if you are injured. Manny has only himself to blame in that regard. I think he has done a giant poop on himself and his reputation with this. However, that was far from the Manny Pac we have seen over the years, it wasn't even close and I think that was obvious. In terms of aesthetics I want to see the best against the best at their best and when one fighter is disabled, it really does detract from it all.
Personally, I don't care for the circus or the money. I watched the fight for free, I am not massively invested in either fighter, but I want to see the best fight the best. Heck, Manny should do it for free if he is serious. I've never understood why people get so interested in the money side of things. As a man you have to make a point and that is all it ever comes down to for me. There is more to life than pantomime and money and in this instance I want to see a man with two arms fight another man with two arms. Let the greedy take all the money, it would also show us what really motivates Manny Pac too. Legacy or money? He needs to rise from the dead and money should not be the object, it should be faith. Manny lost a lot of faith with the performance and by taking the money with an obvious injury he needs to redeem himself.
I'm not so sure Floyd feels the same having banked his 200,000,000 million on the back of an easy nights work. Why take the risk, eh? It was already taken and a free injury too. Floyd is no Barrera or Morales.
