I have no issues with Saddoboxer so don't see why I should put him on ignore. I just think this thread is a bit pointless and if it really needs to exist then it would probably be better off off of the main boxing discussion board. There is little actual boxing being discussed here.
Who cares if a writer has used the name Manny as a verb?![]()
Pacquiao being use as a verb by others isn't just a boost of joy for pacfans but it also brings light to boxing. Pacquiao represents boxing, whatever attention he causes brings people into our sport. I know some of you hate how pac fans create so much threads about pac over and over. It makes you guys sick so much that you wish he would lose badly via ktfo. To bad mother nature doesn't allow it i think its because pacquiao himself brings positive attention to boxing. Same people who says they love boxing can say they hate pac, its funny cause pacquiao is what boxing needs.
Technically they have a point since we're only talking Pacquiao here but as you pointed out, it really has some importance for boxing in general...
Heck, they even moved my "PAC as one of the world's most influential people" thread... Now, many boxing writers made reference to Pacquiao as one of the most influential... specially after his demolition of Hatton...
.
it doesnt constitute boxing news though does it?
look around the forum and you`ll see that 80% of the threads on here are about pacquiao by pacquiao fans.
How the hell you can justify starting up ANOTHER pac thread over something as stupid and un-news worthy as this is completely beyond me!!
one dangerous horrible bloke
Pac did great against Hatton and I gave him all the credit for it. I don't hate the guy by a long shot, but will always have to go against him when it comes to other fighters that I have had more of an interest in...namely Barrera and Hatton. I actually agree that Pac deserves his attention and people have every reason to discuss him, I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that this thread is unneccessary, that is all. It's not about hate for a fighter or anything like that.

I think its ok for hardcore PacFanBoys to come up with threads like these really. It can get annoying sometimes but think about it. When was the last time you heard of a Filipino being under the spotlight as much as Pacquiao or achieve nearly as much? For other countries is normal to have not only one but MANY boxers in different weight divisions as champions and Hall of Famers. Think about Mexico, Puerto Rico, USA, England, etc. So let them be. It may last maybe 2 or 3 more years while Pac is fighting because after that, maybe other Filipino boxers will follow, which is good! More competition to the sport or maybe things will go back to how they were with no asian in the boxing spotlight for many years to come.
Think about this, let's say that Bangladesh beat Brazil in the World Cup and suddenly became competitive and dominate the sport, wouldn't Bangladesh have a lot to brag about, be proud, etc.? Well, think Pac now. Saddoboxer and hardcore PacFanBoys deserves to enjoy this ride while it lasts. I just shake my head slowly and smile when I see threads like this
.
I am glad we have Pac in the sport. He brings excitement, big fights, and all the good stuff. A nice likeable humble guy.
