He got elected based on his celebrity, in a country that is hopelessly corrupt and fairly backwards, not to mention being a politician anywhere doesn’t guarantee you aren’t an idiot. Manny also hasn’t made nearly as much money as he could have and squandered most of what he has, surrounds himself with countless yes men, etc etc. Again, pointless argument imo.


    Not totally discounting anything you said but..... who do you think would last longer in a TV interview without having the interviewer get up and leave, or thousands of TV sets change channels simultaneously?

    With Pacquiao I'd probably have a lot of questions to ask, and I presume he'd answer them coherently.... whether I agreed with him or not.

    With Broner after about 2 minutes it'd be like...... "Oh darn! Seems we've run out of time. Thanks for granting us this interview. Gotta run... got a cab waiting outside."
    I’d think both would last about the same, since people bothered to watch in the first place. I don’t think either is more interesting than the other in English, and they are both manufactured to sell themselves. Of course Manny has had a career Broner won’t be able to dream of, that’s probably part of where you are coming from.


    Not claiming Manny's a rocket scientist, mind you. And his English is heavily accented and a bit broken. But I base my opinion on the fact Manny seems to be able to string more than a few words together to form coherent sentences.

    What little I've heard from Broner puts him at a disadvantage right there.

    Hell.... even Floyd.... who Broner laughingly tried to model himself after.... can carry out a halfway decent conversation. Broner can't.

    Pac was working with Justin Fortune at his gym up until the last 10 days or so. I have a friend that trains there- he is a former California state featherweight (junior light?)champ and he is trying to come back at 55. He was running with Pac every morning up until fight week.

    A 55 year old should not be in a professional ring.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It is kind of funny because the state commission approved his paperwork to be a fighter on the same day they hired him to be a supervisor. He worked a card last night.

    I think Pac will outpoint Broner.

    Broner killed him at the press conferences and he’s gonna KO him in the ring.

    I really want to see how Manny copes with Broners punch in the early rounds. If this had a decent undercard might have taken the plunge for it.

    Broner may very well beat the 40-year old Pacquiao.



    But I just forced myself to watch the All Access completely. What torture.

    On the one hand you have Pacquiao the senator, giving to his people and speaking about the good things he wants to do in his country. What a douchebag.

    On the other hand you got Broner, wearing his pants halfway up his ass.... saying absolutely NOTHING of value..... talking about when he used to talk to himself in prison.... needing captions so I can understand half of the grunts that come out of his mouth.

    Broner's such a punk ass bitch.

    Broner says he'll "become an overnight legend" if he beats the 40-year old Pacquiao.

    I've never been a fan of fighters' self-assessment of what they're victories are going to mean.

    Agreed, you do not become a legend by beating an old fighter.

    1st fight:

    Guevara took the fight against Ruiz on short notice, and after the 1st round, it looks like he's going to exit the fight in short notice as well.
