one thing you gotta give $$$$MONEY$$$$ is that he's constructed a proper IRL heel persona where you wanna see the dude get knocked the fuck out. i haven't watched too many fights of his, and those i have seen have been mostly over the last 3-4 years.... but still, when you see the guy go out there and sandbag everyone and know that he hasn't had a knockout in ~3.5 years (and it was like 2007 when he had his last knockout b4 that) it's just like..... man. can someone please get this dude please?

pacquiao used to seem to have that aura of !!!!!!/invincibility but he lost a fight or two and i think most will agree that this fight is only happening now because both of these guys wanna get paid and $$$$MONEY$$$$ (*instagrams a picture with $50k on the table*) thinks there's way less of a chance of losing the fight, but hey, there's still a 5% chance that this fight doesn't go 12 rounds and maybe as much as a 30-40% chance that pacquiao can win, so with $$$$MONEY$$$$ that's about as good as it gets and you'll take it.

again, despite the "hate" seething out of my post there you have to give $$$$MONEY$$$$ respect because when you hate the guy you're buying into his branding, which again is absolutely phenomenal and based on him pissing off dumb ass (white?) peasants like myself. no doubt he's a marketing genius.

Pacquaio wants to get paid. Mayweather made this fight because he knew if he didn't there would always be questions about his legacy. He definitely doesn't need the money and the last place he really wants to be on May 2 is in a ring with Manny Pacquaio.

I've never even said I think Pacquaio will win. Mayweather may have waited him out long enough so he slowed down just enough. Don't be such a fanboy. Especially of a douchebag.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that Manny loses the fight.

I was more confident about his likelihood of winning however many years ago when I made the bet with Nas. He hasn't had a good fight in a couple years.

But, I'll stick with it because...why not?
