You do know, Manny's really to blame for this, right?

by Paul Magno

Ok, at the risk of irritating all those who would blindly believe that Manny Pacquiao sits on a throne of benevolent love and spends his free time curing cancer kids while Floyd Mayweather cowers under a rock, looking to steal peanut butter cookies from girl scouts...here I go.

Manny's to blame for this mess and he should rightfully carry the stigma for the collapse of The Fight of the Millennium.

I do hope you know that...

Regardless of whether you love Manny and hate Floyd, the reality of the matter is that this fight would be already signed and sealed if not for Manny Pacquiao and his inability to give in to one contractual stipulation.

You would think that Manny could be a bit more flexible about bending slightly, just this one time, considering the fact that he's had an easy go of it, pretty much forcing his opponents to give in to his every contractual whim since the second Morales fight in 2006.

Why is everyone falling for the pantomime saga?

by Dafs117

Boxing is a very deceiving sport, full of promises to fans that never come to grips. Many fighters and promoters tell you how their fighter is not scared of anyone, the best in the world at a given weight class, and how he will knock out his next opponent in sixty seconds. However, as every knowledgeable fight fan that’s been analysing the sport for years would know, what one says aloud isn’t always what one means.

When Floyd Mayweather Jr. called out Manny Pacquiao after the Filipino’s twelfth round technical knockout win over Miguel Cotto, everybody predicted the negotiations to be a drag between the stubborn, ego-inflated duo.
