dragonei Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The more I think about it, i felt sorry for those who said that Manny won over de la hoya, because de la hoya was already washed up. Sure de la hoya was way past his prime, but it did not mean that the main variable in the equation why Manny won was because of that. On that day that they met on the ring, Manny was simply the faster, and more technical boxer than de la hoya was. Simple as that. He was using better head movement and was better at his combinations. De la hoya was simply too confused, he could not figure out a way to neutralize his opponent. But he stepped in that ring with manny as long as he could, till he had no more to give. Just look at Hatton, he was still at his physical prime when he fought manny. and he only lasted a mere two rounds? So in the end, it can be argued na mas magaling at matibay pa pala physically si de la hoya kay hatton. Well I guess De la Hoya has something to be thankful for, his defeat was not so embarassing as hatton's is. Quote Link to comment

photographer Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 ================================= Pinagmamasdan ni Hatton yung belt niya na napunta kay Manny. Manny rakes in $2 million per minute By Abac Cordero Updated May 04, 2009 12:00 AM Manny Pacquiao, of the Philippines, celebrates after beating British boxer Ricky Hatton by TKO in the second round of their junior welterweight title boxing match yesterday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. APLAS VEGAS – Based on his guaranteed purse of $12 million, Manny Pacquiao technically earned $2 million per minute for his two-round demolition of Ricky Hatton at the MGM Grand. While it should be not computed by the dollar, by the minute, by the round, especially after the huge tax deductions, the training and travel expenses, or once everything else comes in, Pacquiao still made a huge killing this time. It was the biggest fight ever for Pacquiao. It was the first time he received a guaranteed purse of $12 million, and he stands to earn a couple more on the giant pay-per-view sales that should come in a week or two from now. Pacquiao’s guaranteed purse is equivalent to P576 million and if one pushes through with the dollar-per-round earnings, it means Pacquiao earned more or less P96 million for every minute. Or P16 million per second. Pacquiao threw a total of 127 punches against Hatton (105 power punches and 22 jabs) and connected 73 times for a high 57 percent, according to computer statistics. Hatton threw only 78 punches and landed only 18 times (two jabs and 16 power punches). Again, if it is to be computed, he technically earned $164,000 for each of the 73 punches landed (65 power punches and 8 jabs). That’s P7.8 million for every punch, including the one that knocked Hatton out in the second round Quote Link to comment
dragonei Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I cant help but speculate that one of the many reasons why Pretty boy is coming out of retirement is because he is starting to get insecure of what is happening with the boxing world after he left. He tought kasi kahit nagretire na siya, people will still regard him as the best boxer of this era. Tapos ngayon, many beat up two of floyd’s last two opponents better than he did. I mean for a guy like pbf, the part where you really can hurt this guy the most is his ego. Kahit di siya nagretire, masasapawan pa din siya ni Manny sa pound for pound rankings. And the most respected boxing critics say that many does not need to fight mayweather to cement his status as the best boxer of this time. Actually its now mayweather who needs to fight many and win to put the money where his mouth is. Welcome home Floyd! And welcome to the new era! Quote Link to comment

Mas maganda ngang wala nang government intervention. Look whats happening sa PSAs natin, mga sports associations. Puro intriga, back stabbing, kampihan. Nakatunganga yung mga athletes at sila na lang pinapanood. Dami pang corruption Quote Link to comment

dragonei Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Naman, ikaw ba naman matumba ng ganun eh. Tama nga si Kenny Bayless, he did not need to count. Kahit bilangan mo si Hatton ng 1-200 di na talaga siya makakatayo. If Manny delivered that same onslaught to any less experienced and less trained boxer, Im sure that boxer would be lucky to end up being paralyzed, on permanently injured. Kaya after this, I dont think that valero should ever fight pacquiao. Me crack na si Valero sa bungo due to a motorcyle accident. Mapapatay lang siya ni pacquiao pag naglaban sila.

hoopburners Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 dragonei, sino sino ba nakalaban ni mayweather? i've read, if not all, most of them are handpicked and avoided some of the big fighters to put him on top before he retired. baka kase after the jmm fight, mag retire ulit si mayweather sa takot kay pacman...
