Know why?

Cause Pacquiao = money to them and is easily sold as the good guy, he could do whatever he wants to and it would only maybe appear in small news, you wouldn't see it on ESPN or anything at all.

But Mayweather makes a statement and its on ESPN and they bash him for anything he says.

How much news have you heard about the Cotto situation?

Little to none, except one article.

Boxing never attacks their good guys.. until AFTER retirement when they are no longer profitable inside the ring. If Mayweather J-walked across the street you'd hear about it. But Pacquiao and his camp have been a rolling ball of contradictions as has his promoter Bob Arum, but nobody is saying anything the only place you see it is on here or a boxing site, but its never covered by big news. And you know all these "analysts" and everything see the same articles we do, and they COULD say something about it.. but they don't, its saddening how there are no more boxing writers, they are just a bunch of forum goers trying to put a spin on their own story under a professional name.

Sportswriters are the biggest "trolls" on the internet nowadays, and its saddening how we are forum goers in some of the things we say and find out do more and print more then they ever do and they know twice as much as it's their job to. Saddening to see one boxer favored so much and getting a pass on it and the fighter who exposed him get flack for it.
It has nothing to do with the name but with the personality behind the name.

Mayweather has projected himself as a villian and he has been good at that. It helps sell fights. A significant number of spectators that come to watch his fights come there hoping to watch him get beaten up. So you are correct in that regards. If Floyd did what Manny did, his reputation may be destroyed. His enemies will be out for his blood.

People suffer from the consequences of their previous actions. This is a brutal world that we live in and life isn't always fair.
