PacMan's Corner

[Why So Serious]

Eventhough na alam ni Pacman na mas malaki ang kinita nya sa laban. Hindi pa din maaalis sa isip nya ang pagkatalo, isang masaklap na pagkatalo mula sa kanyang mortal na karibal... Look at his interviews, show appearances etc... napakalungkot ng mukha, walang glow unlike dun sa pagkatalo nya sa laban vs Bradley na alam ng lahat na sya ang nanalo, napapaisip na din siguro si Pacman pano ang kanyang gagawin para makabawi at makatayo mula sa kanya pagbagsak... i-review at i-renew ang kanyang dating sarili na binago ng panahon.

 

Isang mapakapait/napakasaklap/pinaka masakit na pagkatalo para makabangon muli...

my xmas wish. Its a long shot! Nagsalita ng maganda si floyd sa kanya.. What if biglang nag ala rocky 3 ito. Floyd will join roach and ariza. And train manny pacquiao.. Kasi mukhang sa dating nito mairap makabangon si pacman. After floyd training him vs marquez para sa fifth fight. Then floyd vs manny na. Then retire thats it. Hay what a wish.

 

Kapag Floyd vs. Manny na, si Marquez naman ang sasali sa team ni Pacquiao para tulungan siya sa training.

The Money said that Manny needs a year of rest before he steps to the boxing ring...

[dongt]

i don't know if it applies to boxing but in the UFC they usually give medical suspensions on fighters. some fighters get a minimum of 6 months if they get knocked out. That is, no physical contact or no sparring at all. with the kind of knock out Pacman got, i think it deserves more than that. Although Roach have issued a statement that he wants manny's next bout to be on september 2013 to give him more time to rest.

[Why So Serious]

with regards on money terms, malamang na mababa na ang odds favoring Pacquiao kumbaga sa hatian 30% or 40% na lang ang kay Pacquiao due to his horrible loss... tsk tsk..

Manny Pacquiao fans fear for his health

AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo

 

A particularly greatly appreciated response to my December 11, 2012 column on Manny Pacquiao came from my friend Ronnie Nathanielz — one of the most respected boxing commentators and analysts.

 

Ronnie praised my observation that body blows won it for Marquez. As a matter of fact, he said, that was exactly what the conditioning coach of Juan Manuel “Juanma” Marquez, Angel Heredia, revealed to him and was written in Ronnie’s recent Yahoo column.

 

“Before the fifth fight, Pacquiao needs complete brain examination.” Ronnie wrote: He added: “The strength and conditioning guru of Marquez noted that Marquez was “hitting Manny very hard on the lower part of the body and that was causing Manny problems. He seemed desperate and was jumping around to try and penetrate in the sixth round. I noticed a little bit of fatigue even after the fourth round.”

 

Ronnie further wrote: “Heredia remarked that when Pacquiao and Marquez were shooting pre-fight advertising Pacquiao “looked just terrible and soft. He didn’t have the muscle.”

 

The other responses are apparently from Manny Pacquiao fans who are now deeply concerned about the damage that he could do to his body if he continues fighting in the boxing ring.

 

From Nomer Obnamia: “You are right in saying that fans have short memory. They glorify the hero when on top of the game and will drop him like a villain when the career is on the wane. Manny made an indelible mark in the sport, and put PH on the boxing map. He brought pride in Filipinos. I was in Costa Rica two years ago and the proprietor of the restaurant said to me that he’s a Pacquiao fan. 

Opinion ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1

 

The irony is that there are many people who are taking advantage of Manny’s generosity, including those in congress. I’ve never heard of a man going to a fight who pays for an entourage’s airfare, hotel accommodations, and food! And it’s not just a contingent of ten people for crying out loud. When Manny stops the flow of freebies to these punks they will turn their back on him and declare Manny is a bad guy. To them Manny is only good as long the freeloading continues and when it stops Manny will realize who his real friends are. The number will surely decrease.

 

Manny is not perfect person like all of us but he is a generous man to his friends who take advantage of him.  He has to learn to start thinking for his family financially and get smart in putting his largesse (that fought with guts and blood) in safe investments that would provide income from now and the future. Many, as you have mentioned, had good fortunes but were squandered through lavish lifestyles and charlatans around them. Promoters are in the business of putting together profitable fights as long as the fighter is popular and presumed winner. Muhammad Ali paid the price. He was tough and could take a punch in the head, and today he could hardly talk and walk from Parkinson’s — not the old self with quick wit and graceful footwork and boxing style. Manny had taken lots of head punches and they take a toll believe me.

 

How much is enough? Only Manny could answer the question. He can exit the sport while he’s ahead, health-wise, or continue on making money until the day no one would see his fights. That would be a sad ending to a glorious career. The smell of money and fame are hard to resist. The adulation of people is intoxicating. But what is the price to pay in the end? Only Manny could answer that for himself.

 

And lastly, Manny should exit from politics. It’s a dirty game. I know he does this not for the money like everybody in congress but the game will taint him. And some are saying Manny for President. This is too much. Manny’s wife too should not enter the game. There are other good things to do that rich people can participate in like non-profit organizations whose purpose is to alleviate poverty and train poor people in trades to make a living. Politics seems to be a game in PH, and a lucrative career to those who seeks power, influence and accumulation of wealth through their office.”

 

From Robert Balmes: “Your article at Philstar is an eye-opener for Pacquiao. I hope he will heed your advice to retire this early. But I doubt if it will happen as it was reported prior to his fight with Marquez that he signed a new 2-year contract with Bob Arum that will last until 2014. Who advise him to do it is really influential.

 

What a pity, he should have retire this early to enjoy life while he is still young, spend more time with his children and pursue whatever other ambitions he has in mind. Just an advise, dismiss all these hangers on and freeloaders as they are leeches who feed on your riches to no end.”

 

At this point in his life, the biggest opponent of Manny Pacquiao — is Manny Pacquiao. He has reached as far as can be hoped for and earned more than he needs in a lifetime. He should start thinking about his family, not just himself.

He should just enter the ring with Roach along side with a couple of medical personnel. Dump all other "team pacquiao" members and specially those old farts dressed in $5000 suits called his entourage.

September next pa ulit ang laban ni pacquiao.. hope that he can make one more push going to the top.

Pacquiao, nakitaan ng isang doktor ng ilang senyales ng Parkinson's disease

 

By dzmm

 

 

Nakikitaan na ng ilang senyales ng Parkinson's disease ang Pinoy boxing champ na si Manny Pacquiao.

 

Sa panayam ng DZMM, inilahad ni Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines (PHAP) President Dr. Rustico Jimenez ang mga senyales na napapansin niya kay Pacquiao gaya ng pautal-utal na pagsasalita at panginginig ng kamay.

 

"Nakikita ko na meron na siyang signs ng Parkinson's ngayon eh. 'Pag tiningnan mo 'yung pagsasalita niya minsan 'di niya nasasagot kaagad, nag-stutter siya," ayon kay Jimenez.

 

Ang Parkinson's disease ay karaniwang sakit ng mga boksingero gaya na lang ng boxing legend na si Muhammad Ali at ang mismong coach ni Pacquiao na si Freddie Roach.

 

Gaya ng panawagan ng ilan, iginiit din ni Jimenez na magretiro na si Pacman.

 

"Lalong nadadagdagan ang trauma, lalo pong magkakaroon siya ng problema. Pwedeng later on Alzheimer's disease naman."

He should retire if that's the case

[Vegasboy32]

I think a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao match-up can be done since Marquez knocked out Pacquiao in spectacular fashion. That win by Marquez may have boosted the confidence of Mayweather enough to challenge Manny. Remember, Money dominated El Dinamita when they fought.

 

Are you referring to the previous fights between Pacman and Marquez or the last fight that happened last Deember? Pacman got knocked down on the third round of that fight. I don't think he dominated that fight at all. After getting knocked down in the 3rd round. I knew that Pacman could lose this fight. Give credits to Marquez for preparing for this fight.

[MikeyArrovo]

Madami ang hindi nakapansin na basag ang ilong ni marquez, un din ang reason bakit plano na ni marquez mag retire. Kung hindi nya na knock out si pacquiao may tulog sya.
