Is Manny Pacquiao Bad For Boxing?

[Cortez The Killer]

So is Manny Pacquiao bad for boxing? Would boxing be better if Manny Pacquiao never picked up the sport?

Discuss.

Honestly, these are two of the stupidest questions I've read. Are you serious or are these questions some kind of backlash against the Pac fanatics?

How would boxing be better off without Manny? He is one of the marquee names in the sport, entertaining as hell, and his name is involved in the some the most desirable matchups in the foreseeable future.



So yeah, boxing would be better without Manny. it would have been better without ODLH. it would have been better without any fighter who attracts attention and excitement to the sport.

Manny "Pacman" Pacquaio has greatly divided the boxing community into different factions. Those for him and against him. Many of those fans in his camp think he's the greatest thing since slice bread. And then there are those fans that just don't like him for whatever reason.

This is a serious question because of many boxing fans have called Manny Pacquiao a pussy and coward for wanting to fight Cotto at a catchweight, which would be his first. To be fair I never considered the Oscar fight a catchweight because you can't expect someone to jump 3 weight classes from 135 to fight you when you called him out and it was at the 147 ww limit. So there are endless discussions about the Pacman for or against him in every boxing forum.

Bless your heart.....your so ignorant! I mean really, every post you write sounds like its from an eight year old. Do you realize that if Pacquiao and Mayweather end up fighting, that it will likely sell the most PPV's in history? Do you realize how many fans Pacquiao puts in the stands? Like its bad that some like him and some dont? Thats what its all about man! He's the most entertaining boxer there is in the ring, there's always gonna be knockdowns when Paquiao's in the ring and thats exactly what boxing needs to become more popular. Do yourself a favor and go build a mud castle outside and stop embarrassing yourself on this forum!

How can Manny be "bad for boxing"? Honestly, I don't get what's behind the question. NO, Manny's not bad for boxing. He has attracted tons of new fans, and he's dominated in a way that few boxers dominate. And right now he's the hottest draw in boxing.

A better question would be: "Are fanatical Pacquiao fans bad for boxing?" And although I'd be tempted to say "yes", I'll even go the other way there. Sure, they can be downright obnoxious. But in a way, isn't that what gives a little spice to forums such as these? After all, if we didn't have clueless Pacquiao fans to beat up on once in a while, what fun would it be?
