PacMan's Corner

[manny_nangkal]

Now we see the lies being peddled for the 1M PPV buys for the last Gayweather fight....

 

Yes its 1M buys but the revenue was only $32.5M cause Tecate had subsidized 50% of the price, discounting the rate and reducing the revenue to what is now a fact....So, the Revenue went down to $32.5M lower than the PAC vs Hatton fight of about $43M revenue...

 

So even as they turned the high-end PPV to a mid-price service its still not exceeded the previous fight of Pacman, despite the economy had already taken off unlike at the time of PAC vs Hatton where recession was at its lowest...

 

Plus the arena tickets...

 

All the ticket for sale on PAC vs Hatton sold out, the last Gayweather fight only 75% of tickets for sale were sold...

Now who's the real Cash Cow?????

Thats why Gayweather immediately thank the sponsors after the fight....They have diluted a high-end product to a mid range offer....Ergo, people are deceived that they are making..an apple to apple comparison...with Manny's fight....GBP is a liar..

And im sure a lot of mexicans was still hoping Marquez would have a chinaman's chance against the obnoxiously arrogant

Fraudweather..

 

Deception will not prevail against the truth...because the latter is immutable...INTELLECTUAL DISHONESTY DOES NOT PAY

[robbietan]

gayweather's dance against a smaller, slower, older fighter will not sit well with future fight fans. pacman went toe to toe against the bigger dela hoya and hatton. gayweather even addded weight just to make sure he has weight advantage against sore loser marquez....erferferf

INSIDE INFO: ARUM'S ASSESSMENT OF MANNY'S TRAINING NOT GOOD

article by DEEPTHROAT

 

I write for a newspaper in the US and a popular sports online site, which will remain anonymous. I have published "insider information" here on MTC in the past...information that I received from insiders within Pacquiao's circle (in or around it). Below is information I want to share with you from sources that will remain unnamed.

Anyway, why do you think Bob Arum was telling everyone on media day that Manny needs to train harder? I have inside information regarding a conversation between Arum and Roach right before Media day. Apparently, Arum has seen "footage" and heard reports of Cotto's training which is going very smoothly and very effectively. The gist of Cotto's training is that he has never looked so sharp at this stage of his training. Cotto's team has dissected all of Manny's relevant fights and has prepared multiple strategies that will nullify Pacquiao's in-and-out attack strategy. Furthermore, Cotto's attack will include fighting both in the normal stance and southpaw stance that aims to confuse Pacquiao during the early, middle and late rounds (if necessary).

 

Upon seeing Manny's sparring performance on Media day, Arum concluded that Manny has a long way to go in his preparations in such a SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME before the Nov. 14 fight. Arum told Roach (based on Arum's reports on Cotto's training) that Manny will have no chance to beat Cotto, GIVEN Pacquiao's erratic, circus-like training camp. Arum observed that Manny is SO OVERCONFIDENT that he will beat Cotto. Roach has reported to Arum that Manny's supporters (team Pacquiao, politicians, advisers, media, etc.) have convinced Manny that he will beat Cotto, regardless of whether he trains hard or not, etc. Long story short, Manny's head has been corrupted by over confidence from his surroundings. Hence, Manny has embraced all the circus that surrounds him everyday in an effort to also boost his political aspirations next year.

This is another reason why Arum has said that a "rematch" may happen after this fight. It's not because Cotto will demand for it...it's because he sees Manny losing and Manny finally waking up and wanting a rematch. Anyway, Roach and Arum actually wanted to move training camp to Los Angeles as soon as possible (even before their scheduled departure for LA), after seeing the daily circus in Baguio. However, team Pacquiao and Manny himself has insisted against that. Pacquiao is currently ill-prepared despite news saying that he will knockout Cotto and will be too fast for him, etc. For the first time, Roach is floating false information that he thinks Manny will knockout Cotto. The true underlying status is Pacquiao is behind schedule and has a knee problem to deal with. Roach did this because to make Team Cotto think that his fighter is in top shape (which he's not). Roach is playing chess with Cotto.

Manny really needs to get his act together or there will be no mega-fight with Mayweather. Another food for thought: Mayweather is looking at another option to fight someone else either in December or January (perhaps Moseley) in anticipation of a Manny loss in November!

a piece for the las vegas gamblers. walang pupusta if pacman is written is in "top form". pa dehado ng kaunti para may pumusta naman...

[beastmode]

Dami talagang distractions, tapos namatay pa si Apo Rod Nazario saka may Ondoy pa. Baka pwede i-reschedule to a later date na lang...

Exactly my thoughts. Cotto with multiple strategies and switching stances - come on, that's hardly gonna happen.

 

Although I still think Pacquiao's Baguio training is indeed a media circus. PMA cadets running alongside Manny, with Dyan Castillejo doing footage and asking Manny: Kaya pa ba? Can someone please shut her up and keep her far,far away?! Followed by opening ceremonies for a shoot match- too many distractions.

[shafeeq96]

Here's Manny's shot from ESPN Magazine's "The Body" issue

 

:goatee:

[cool2nasty]

Di na ba naapektuhan yung camp ni PACMAN ng bagyong PEPENG?

[ixnay]

apektado yun for sure! it would be best if he goes to the US to continue his training without any distractions...

[jopoc]

nasa baguio pa ba si manny? paano training nya kung andun pa sya?

With so many distractions (and not to mentioned the typhoons, the death of Rod Nazario), these things have a big effect on Pacman come fight night. From the way I see it, Cotto is the more focused fighter (compared to Manny's training, which is being swarmed by the media).

 

I'm a big Manny fan, but if his team will not transfer his training to the Wild Card gym in CA, most likely (and hopefully we do not want this to happen) that Cotto will pull an upset. Pacman might end up similar to what Rocky Balboa (in the third movie) had experienced (when he was badly beaten by Clubber Lang).

[chicboy18]

Heard that he will be changing his US training earlier than scheduled. Good news!

[mobidick]

mukhang mapapa aga training ni pacman sa u.s. balita ko sa oct. 19 pero kung ako sa kanya alis na sya asap kakapusin sya buti kung pwede pa i postpone ang laban sa tingin nyo ba pwede ma extend yung playdate ng laro?
