PacMan's Corner

[redax]

Balita nga sa dyaryo nagbabo na si Manny, wala na raw karera, sabong at billiards. Tingnan natin kung totoo.

Now that Barrera beat Peden for the unified championship, everyone wants to see a Pacquiao vs Barrera II. The Morales bout is for pride and money. A Barrera fight could be for 2 belts and history.

[redax]

Pacman Barrera would only happen if he wins against Morales. Reason why there's no talk about that yet is because he lost to Morales last time so there's no reason for Barrera to give him a title shot. Barrera has two belts now so that would probably be the biggest money fight for Pacquiao if he beats Morales this January. Pacquiao had a $ 750 thousand purse against Velasquez so it doesn't make sense for him to get paid the same amount to fight Marquez, a much stronger opponent. He's touted to get a $1.75 million purse against Morales this January. If he wins, the rematch with Barrera should be over $2 million.

i just hope that people also recognize the efforts of freddie roach. this guy helped polish manny into a real gem.

 

he's also the one responsible for the two other pinoy fighters who have brought pride to the philippines.

Yup.. Freddie Roach really transformed Pacquiao into a polished fighter. Konting training pa from Roach would really beef up the Pacman's maturity in the ring. Its just a shame na Amerikano pa ang trainor ni Manny. Wala ba tayong magagaling na trainors dito sa atin? Marami pa naman tayong good boxers.. Well, for now, let's thank Freddie of making us all believers in Manny's talent..

Hopefully Buboy Fernandez learns a lot from him. Up to now he's still there because Bobby Pacquiao will have a fight there. Problem is, not being an exboxer, he probably has his limits.

yup. roach and pacquiao is a good partnership. I hope pacquiao knocks Morales' head off. Yabang niya. gusto ko tuloy siyang bugbugin

[clipperjune]

Pacquiao and Morales rematch.

 

My heart says Pacquiao but my head goes for morales by UD. Unless Morales got really old really fast baka paglaruan na naman nya si PacMan.

[democrat]

PACMAN - the best super featherweight!!!!!

the purse is the bottom line. win or lose he stands to earn more

[redax]

If he loses to Morales, I don't think Barrera will give him a shot at the title.

i added a poll to spice things up..

Regardless of crowns, a date with Manny Pacquiao is the best payday for any of the top featherweights. A Pcquiao-Morales II or a a Pacquiao-Barrera II will earn more for everyone than a fourth instalment of Barrera-Morales. As long as Pacquiao remains exciting and fun to watch, he will always get a big money fight. Regardless of the final result of the next fight with Morales, as long as he fights with the same heart and big fists, he will always have a clear path to the cash register. He probably has at least 3 more big money fights and that's only because Barrera and Morales are getting older.

 

Manny will be rich beyond his dreams before he hangs up his gloves if he knows how to take care of his money. However, I would also want Manny though to cement his legacy as a great champion by going after another title or so. Maybe move down to featherweight when there is no big money fight then go after version of the jr featherweight crown. Heck, he can probably get a piece of the lightweight title. He deserves his place in history as the first asian boxer to win title in 3 different weight divisions.

[redax]

Barrera has expressed his desire to fight lightweight already and Morales already did. Pacquiao does not get as much money unless fighting with these 2 and his too small to fight lightweight. Even if he fights Marquez, the pay just won't be as much. If he loses again to Morales, he will definitely lose value in terms of prize money. Remember he only fought for some piss ant title against Velasquez. He's not even a ring magazine's people's champ at super featherweight. Barrera was only able to be a legitimate champ even without any belt because he kept winning, or immediately avenged losses. If you lose twice to the same guy, that means you're not the champ, and not being the champ in you're division, you don't make as much.
