The difference here i think is the amount of funds involve. The proposed Manny vs Crawford fight seems to warrant a huge amount, imagined allotting $50 million of guaranteed purse alone for both boxers and we all know that Bob Arum will also grab his share of the pie.

I've read some articles from Filipino boxing analyst, as long as possible Manny don't want Bob Arum to be involve in his fight anymore so that may be the reason why he is taunting Bob by asking $40 million to fight Terrence but their original plan since the beginning was to fight Mikey Garcia.

Though no official statement from the camp of Pacman but this news is close to reality as it comes from an individual who is close to Manny and that is no other than his business manager Arnold Vegafria.

Many fight fans might be disappointed with this breaking news but this might be the one healthy fight for the Pacman himself as he is not force to bring the best Manny Pacquaio in this fight if push though.

That is interesting and i wonder how it feels like the two of you gambling.

Man, TBH i don't want my woman to be involve in any form of gambling activities as it really hard to be disciplined if we are addicted into this.

With regards to the question if females are welcome in gambling thread, well i have not read forum rules prohibiting women in gambling discussions and i have a feeling that some users i knew were women because of the style of their posting and also their sentiments about gambling were a little different than that of men.

Just voted and i'm for Loma to win this one.

Nakatani is no joke and not a good opponent for a comeback fight but still Loma have taken this fight, i admire him for that.

Though Nakatani has the height advantage but Loma have fought taller fighters than him before and he got no problem dealing with them, Campbell and Linares to name a few.

Though NLEX belong to the MVP group of companies, still they have to get into a normal process of getting more talented players and i think what frustrate coach Yeng is that TNT is the priority of the three MVP teams and NLEX is somewhat a farm team at the moment. I won't be surprised if K. Ravena would be traded to TNT in case Mikey Williams can't fulfill the duty that is expected of him.

2 out of 3 ka ngayong bro, di na masama. Isa lang sinundan ko dito, yong Warriors pa hehe, sayang hindi talaga maiwan-iwan ng Warriors ang Kings kanina.

Bukas ulit, ano palagay mo sa Knicks vs Suns bukas?

Will the streak continues?

Daming laro bukas...

Yup, Sara Duterte is leading the poll for the presidency of the Philippines next year and there's a high probability that she will if she decided to run due to the fact that his father is extremely popular even if he is on the last year of his presidency and that's record breaking as most presidents in the past were mere sitting ducks on the last year of their presidency as their trust rating declines.

Manny Pacquaio is not fit to handle the problems of the Philippines, he is too good and people want another President like Rodrigo Duterte who have the iron will to instill discipline amongst it's people. That characteristics seems to be found on her daughter, Sara Duterte which makes her the frontrunner next presidential election.

Back to the topic  , I don't think that the fight of Pacman vs Crawford will push through. Pacman will demand huge amount if he thinks that he will have a hard time defeating his opponent and less if it's a B fighter that is why i'm thinking that he would end up fighting Mikey Garcia or even Danny Garcia.

We can't blame coach Yeng on how he felt at the moment. He tried very hard to build a championship team in NLEX but with just a blink of an eye, his prized center (Erram) was traded to TNT which i think opposite to his vision on the team. They can't win championship without a legit big man that can match JMF15 or the other center, that is why he think that the PBA is just a four team race lol.

But of the other side, he is just so pessimistic as anything can happen if he would just focus and motivate his team that the season is an open race just like the thinking of coach Norman Black.

Congrats man, you're back on the winning track.

Fortunate enough to have tailed your pick and thanks for your analysis  .

That was a close game until the middle of the fourth quarter where the Lakers have trouble scoring.

LBJ needs to heal fast if they don't want any complications going into the playoffs.

Damn, this COVID-19 situation has taken a toll on him. But the good news is that he realizes that he has the problem and have seek help before it's too late. As a fan of boxing, i wish Garcia will get well very soon and come back strong and become a champion.

With this cancellation of the fight, i will going to lock this thread in a few hours.

I hope you will be picking the Dallas vs Lakers game and give you analysis on that one.

I bet for the Mavs last time as i though that AD would not play, luckily the Mavs won but i think the output would be different this time with Davis playing more minutes.

A fight with Crawford will not gonna happen at least for now mate. You can scroll above for the post.

Pacman vs Crawford did not get enough investors.

Manny could fight this year but it could be against Mikey Garcia which is a very suitable opponent for him at this stage of his career.

Manny have nothing left to prove and let's just be happy that he could get back in the ring even if it is with a B class fighter.

No, it's not that way. IF you will read the OP, it says:


Pacman was the one initializing the offer and $10 million is supposed to be the amount that Crawford will get if the fight pushes through but somehow this speculation just faded with the news above this post.

With regards to Pacman fighting this year i think there is still time and in fact some said that he is on a light training at the moment, this is just a sign that he is preparing for a fight.

Though some of us here were saddened to hear this but personally i'm not surprise with the news as i'm expecting this one already.

As i've said before, Manny asking for that huge amount is just him taunting the old man, Bob Arum and unfortunately the latter did not take the bait.

Now, this could be a big news for Mikey Garcia as he is the number one option for Team Pacman in his comeback fight this year.

Good point, because of the amount that is not too big many traders are trusting their money on centralized exchange.

But even if it is a small amount, it is still very painful for us if we lose our money so we better find some ways to be able to control our coins and at the same time we could transfer it instantly to centralized exchange whenever we need the fiat.

Not your keys, not your coins, we should always put this in mind.

I have not read anything prohibiting us or anyone on calling a pro basketball player a kid. I call him kid because i think he is on his early 20's like most of the draftees but it has nothing to do on him asking that amount for a salary.

I do think different from you and him asking for a non-standard salary is a problem. The definition of PROBLEM in the industry is deviation from standard and that is what he is doing now. Not a good first step for a rookie. He might paly good basketball in the US but the style of play in the PBA is very different and he might nor fit that's why i said he should first prove his worth. 

The point is, why asked that amount, he has not proven anything yet and besides it is in the rules that maximum salary for a rookie is 200k.

I don't think the management of Katropa will give in to his demand because what the TNT Katropa needs at the moment is a big man that can compete with other teams bigs. They already have a lot of guard, that is why i'm saying that he should prove his worth before asking anything.

I think this kid has an attitude problem, why not settle the issue offline and not publish it on the media.  

Haney is on the A side of this fight being the young and current champion while Linares is on a downhill of his career, that is why bookies have put Haney the favorite to win this fight.

You are right, Haney being so technical and a good fighter, he will be very careful and will not engage Linares into a brawl and will not give Linares to score that lucky punch.

If we based our prediction in their last fights then we can presume that Linares is a very live underdog because of what he have done to Loma and the inability of Haney to KO an old Gamboa.

Confirming that i already received the payment of your loan.

Big possibility that if Haney will win it would be by decision and the only way for Linares to snatch this belt is via knockout and with that i think it would be wiser to wait for more options/market in the coming days as for sure that it would be more attractive than the ML.

This fight is a big hurdle for Haney's career because of Linares capability of knocking opponents with a single shot and if the latter could tame and beat Linares then i would consider a legitimate contender to unity this division.
