    @mizzgoku that's because manny is charismatic and he is seen as wholesome. mayweather took upon as the role of the bad guy. i mean that's his choice to be the bad guy to sell his fight. manny took in himself what you see is what you get.

    Larry is annoying, but he's right about the weight thing. These guys have been the same size through similiar ages all the way up. Also, if you look at Pac's weight the nights of the fights for the past 5-6 years, he really hasn't gained that much. The 3rd Morales fight in 2006, he weighed 144 pounds the night of the fight. Same with the 2nd Marquez fight in '08. He's actually only gained 4-5 pounds since then.

  • @simdizl
    @simdizl13 жыл бұрын

    @jambriz510 and for the record Pacquiao never agreed to a drug test the day of the fight- - EVER- - - The last agreement was for 14 days out and that was after fight contract negotiations broke completely down. Pacquiao never agreed to the Olympic style blood testing while both camps where in serious negotiations and debate. Pacquiao is just saying he agreeed to the drug testing becuase he needed an excuse why Floyd signed his name on the contract and he didn't. who was scared? Obviously Pacman.

    larry may not this this but or he is wise not to say it. not just because he isn't american but I also think its because he ain't African American. They attributed mostly with the athletic ability in most ppl eyes and if pac was AA going through these weights like RJJ did there may not be so many accusations. I only thought this because every pac steroid vid I see 7/10 were by AA, you'd mexican cos he beat loads of them but a lot of AA. don't like to generalise, sorry if I offended.
