Manny Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner

[El Kabong]

Like I said I'm rooting for Pac, if only so I can get to watch Boner asking for daddy to comb his hair.

All this fight is, is an attention grab. It's "Hey Floyd, Floyd, look at me Floyd, look what I can do Floyd, fight me next Floyd" whether it's Manny or Broner who wins or looks good. This isn't about a title, it isn't about anything other than attempting to be relevant on the "Senior Tour" of boxing and it's fucking sad Adrien Broner is already in that group.


Let's be honest the Floyd-Manny fight was an Exhibition bout at best, Manny had already been laid out face first, the spark of interest in the fight was gone with Manny's consciousness...no reason at all to have that fight after that bout and here we are now looking for a rematch? Why? Are boxing fans masochists?

It was announced today for the 19th of Jan. It'll be on Showtime PPV.

As a stand alone fight it's not bad, should be reasonably good to watch and a decent clash of styles. Of course kabong is right that it's a ploy to drum up whatever interest they can for a Floyd comeback. The majority of people who buy ppvs aren't boxing fans, so like it or not that would probably still be the most lucrative fight in the sport by a good margin.

I’m going to admit right now there is an 85% chance I’ll get this. It is a bit off a toss up as I have showtime right now and a week or two after the fight they replay it.

It’s PPV? Seriously? I would in no way order this fight.

I think Showtime is making a mistake with ppv. Just like Arum did with Manny v Horn at 6 AM espn+ on a workday here. HBO is dead in the water, you are the last remaining 'premier' cable channel so give the fans a big fight to start the year. I get that it's Manny and he is milking his remaining career but I can't pay for that. FFS it's Broner . All he'll do is take my hand full of 20's and film himself using them to wipe his arse in some fast food restaraunt. True story .

They're greedy bastards (Showtime). They don't know any better.
