Why PACQUIAO is always criticized with his actions?

**eagle** · 01-22-2009 02:13 AM

Manny doesnt deserve to be criticised much at all, and i think generally he is a respected fighter. You'll probably find the guys criticising him now are Hatton fans and PBF fans. Hatton fans cos it makes their man look better if they can convince ppl that Manny is scared of Ricky. PBF fans because there is a constant argument about who has the better resume between Pacman and Floyd, if Manny is made out to look scared to fight a guy PBF KO'd then it benefits Mayweather fans.

Another reason Pac gets criticism is due to his Rabid fans. Pacfans just go on and on about how Manny is the best, the most fearless, strongest most skilled, bla bla bla. They then attack in numbers anyone who dares to say anything negative about Manny. It turns ppl off him very quickly.

People are now criticizing PAC because of the same reasons people criticized PBF at this point in his career.

PAC has some amazing names on his resume, he is always exciting, but now that his legacy is secured he (or perhaps it's his handlers)
are looking strictly to cash in now.

I agree, which is why I don't completely understand why he didn't take the $12M and 52/48 split in a depressed economy. Who else can make him that kind of money?

I am critical of the decision to not fight Hatton, but I am not critical of Pac as a fighter.

People criticized De La Hoya for going after a payday with a much smaller fighter. I hang around boxing clubs everyday and watch many fights on TV and Pac was getting credit for taking on a bigger guy. And for this Hatton deal, well its hard to credit Pac when he was offered 52% from the champ at 140 and all Pac's people agreed but when the deadline hour came Pac was nowhere to be found and didn't even return calls. How do you justify that? It doesn't matter how great people think a fighter is no fighter is immuned to being criticized and this criticism is very much warranted. Remember, if Hatton would've said no to the 50/50 split and let the deadline hour pass and never return even his own people's phone calls then he would have been called everthing in the book. Pac is getting off lightly. People are even creating excuses like he is looking for PBF instead. Well, Freddie Roach hasn't even been informed on that one but I hope a PBF fight comes out of this. And if the excuse is Pac couldn't negotiate with Hatton he has no chance with PBF.

and why not? people would want to see this fight more than hatton-pac. and pac would settle 50-50 split on this one coz it will be more than he will get with 60-40 split against hatton. pac knows that the mayweather is the draw when that fight should happen. pac knows dela hoya was the draw when their fight happened. and pac knows he is the draw if he fights hatton. thats business. thats it. and pac is not getting off lightly. even here on this board he gets bashed how much more on other boards. and you said you hang around other boxing clubs. why dont you read the other threads on this board.

If a poster ain't sucking Pac's dikk. Than his groupies say he's being criticized or bad mouthed. Hatton groupies are the same way.

I'm the bigget Floyd fan on here, and you won't find me comparing Floyd's resume to Pac's its not even in the same league, I think its a toss up fight, maybe slihgly favoring PBF, but I definitely think Pacman is a special fighter.

I mean in just 2 months period, Pacquiao was first criticized for going after a huge money fight and then criticized again (in the opposite way) for backing out from a huge money fight... Pacquiao has nowhere to go...

its apart of the sport.

Pac took on mab in his first fight at 126 for only $30,000.

and continued on to take on quality fighters one division above the next.

he took a 35% against a guy 4 division above him and now he wants a REAL Lion Share not a pussy 2% more against another bigger guy. he doesn't get it and he gets critized. Pac earns his paycheck, so anybody calling him scared and comparing what his doint to what floyd was doing is a straight hater or plain moronic. Floyd is a safe fighter and pac is a warrior, not comparison.

Pac wanted the fight in England and Bob denied him of that dream. So fuck Bob, he can't even give a simple demand in favor of pac. Now pac is no longer the yes men they adopted from a poverty infested country. Pac is the man now, his on top of the sport. his the most exciting fighter worldwide, he doesn't hit and hug like hatton or do rough tactic he straights fight you. Pac deserves what he wants, throghout his career he aint been listen to and he just continuously went out there and risk his life all the while having his country on his shoulders.

Hatton wont give in to what pac wants? then so be, theres no fight. AND NOBODY GETS PAID. think what you guys want and enjoy yourselves. Most of you can just speculate anyway but I know my boy.
