PacMan's Corner

Recommended Posts

Manny obviously wants to fight boxers in the early 30's where again he will have an easy win and bring home the bacon (kuno!) to his Filipino countrymen..

 

regarding on the issue of money. Valero is a reigning WBA champion so it will again be a big payday for both fighters.

 

A fight outside the US (Valero can not get a license in the USA) would be worth more than 5 M USD? I really doubt that. But hey, if you can raise the difference... say a fight with Valero will generate a 1 M USD paycheck for Pacman, and you can find someone who will guarantee the other 4 M USD, then I suppose that fight can happen.

 

But hey, just like you I'd like to see the fight happen. And soon! Just line 'em up boys... mahina kalaban... one at a time lang... Pacman will chomp your Valero soon enough... I guarantee that!

Well the fight is being scheduled in Macau to open the new Wynn Hotel and Casino. Baka si Wynn ang mag foot ng balance. Even if they can come up with the balance to make the $ 5M, the bigger loss is from the PPV where Pacquiao gets all the his shares without the cuts.

 

A fight with Valero, money wise will be in a year or two, probably in Pacquiao's last two fights. Money would be better, Valero would have proven himself more and probably would have faced better named opposition by then to drum up a high stakes top dollar showdown between the present and the future. From a sport stand point, the bigger risk is for Valero by fighting Pacquiao now. If he loses and he loses big and his weaknesses exposed or much worse damaged, that could be the end of his short lived career. Pacquaio, win or lose, will already have his place in the sun and probably 3-4 more mega buck fights. Word to the young: Valero should get better, get more experienced, bid his time, wait for Pacquaio to get older and then fight him while he still has a name and the odds about even.

How about Chris John? 38-0-20KOs? May laban ba 'to?

 

I have mentioned in a previous post that Chris John can be a good fight for Pacquiao for a number of reasons. One, he seems pretty good with the kind of record he has (actually, 38-0-1 with 20 K.O.'s). Second he has a legitimate belt (WBA) which can give the fight some weight. The only problem is John doesn't fight outside of Indonesia (practically, except for two fights in japan and Australia) and Pacquaio will not travel to Java just to get robbed. John's record may be a little suspect as he only fights in home turf but he did beat Juan Miguel Marquez (UD) in a close but relatively intrigue free fight in Indonesia for the WBA title.

 

But the fight has a chance for the right compelling reasons. One, it will afford Pacquiao to get a third legitimate belt from a recognized boxing body at featherweight. Although it will be a step down, I don't think it will be a problem for him. Will John risk losing his belt? He just might for the right money. He hasn't seen a a fight upwards of $ 100k in his life and it will be easy to lure him to Manila for a title fight for not too much money to start with (Oscar Larrios as an ex-champ was paid $ 400k for the last Manila tune-up fight). Which then makes it easier for local promoters to stage the fight where everybody makes decent money, Pacquiao takes home $1M-2M for the fight and takes home a belt if he is successful. John may not be too detached from his title even if he loses his crown as Pacquiao will expectedly relinquish and go after the titles held by Barrera in a sure future fight. John will then face off with the next ranked challenger for his same belt (I'm hoping it's Jimrex Jaca as Juan Marquez has already indicated that he is moving up in weight).

 

The only problem I see for Pacquiao is that he may find John's style a little bit perplexing at the start. John came from a martial arts background (probably Penchak Silat) and has an unorthodox style that has worked for him. H e doesn't have a hard punch even at featherweight as evidenced by his low KO record which will allow Pacquaio to plow in to get off his heavy bombs. But John will not be an easy pushover. He does have a good record and anybody who has defeated Juan Miguel Marquez must be really good, be really lucky or both and should be taken with all seriousness.
