[Boxing] Pacquiao vs Matthysse July 15 2018

[Shinpako09]

Manny is already old, he might not win a fight again. He might be out of shape already after months of no jogging and practice. But maybe for the sake of  exposure he will just fight and even if he lose he is not after the money.  The guy is already rich I think he is running for senate re election and this game is one of his plan to appear in the media.

I agree that Manny is already old but can't won a fight? I don't think so, even Manny isn't in his prime anymore, this man still has a chance to win. Example was his last fight, he should have won if they didn't rigged.

Also, he is not doing it because he wants to run in the next election. He's doing it because he wants, he doesn't want to retire yet.

Manny should have make his own promotion from the very start and didn't let Arum used him.

Manny has MP promotions which work with Arum's TR in his last couple of fights if I remember it. Yes, that snake Arum milk Manny up to the last drop and now is slowly moving away because Manny has somewhat diminished his power to attract fans to watch his fight. But I don't think that's a fair assumption though, manny can bring fight fans to watch him specially in the US soil. Unfortunately, issues with IRS (rumor?) and then Arum's who are now pushing for Crawford at his next cash cow together Lomachenko. There was even some media reports that team Pacquiao received a cold treatment from Arum during his last fight with Horn because its the last fight under TR's contract.

Arum and Manny have a lot of disagreements lately and most of the time it has something to do with schedule. Manny is Arums prizefighter and he wants to make sure that his prizefighter is in good shape and has trained well before the fight in which Manny can't deliver since he has a lot of things to take care specially now that aside from being a Senator, he formed a Basketball league that will rival PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) which is the MPBL or the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League.

I still wish he will win this fight with Matthysse and hang the gloves after. His book is written already and he is already a legend since he is the only one who was able to win the championship belt for 8-division.

All was exactly what i am thinking too. That is not for exposure if they do it he may do it much more outside boxing and from what i saw is how we look at his position even he loss we know what is the reason for it and believe on him how much more the people in his country who supports him.

We cannot underestimate Manny for his age and without enough training he can still won and give a good fight and ache to his opponent with a clean fight.

There were reports that the fight "might" be postpone:

De La Hoya: I Feel 'Very Confident' Pacquiao-Matthysse Happens

There has been a lot of reports of the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Lucas Matthysse, scheduled for July 14th in Malaysia, not taking place as there are some financial issues plaguing that event.

Golden Boy Promotions and Matthysse had been waiting on some money due to them the past few weeks.

https://www.boxingscene.com/de-la-hoya-i-feel-very-confident-pacquiao-matthysse-happens--129425

The reports seems to point to MP promotions unable to provide the needed money and a shortage of $2M in financing. I honestly believed that this is just a ploy to attract boxing fans specially in the US to buy the PPV, sort of marketing.

This fight again will cost a lot of gambling activities in the world. Because of a thousand bettors will have to bet to each favorite boxer, Not counted in the Local areas, So I think this boxing match all about money and secondly fame right?

Of course just like others have said, they are all in the business of money making so this match is not a exception. Manny and Lucas can definitely made a lot besides the purse money because there are the PPV that will enter the picture as well. That's why I said that maybe this is just a marketing ploy specially the US based boxing fans of both of them because the fight is happening in Malaysia.

Bit of off topic but anyone does have preview where we can watched it live?

My service provider is charging me around $50 to for it to be able to watched live. I don't want to spend some bucks here unlike when I did during Pacquaio v Mayweather fight.

Or maybe those free to watched sites will just appear during the day of the fight?

Just wait for some folks who are watching on live with their paid membership on some websites. They will just broadcast it on facebook or any live streaming site for free.
Just follow any sports page/group that's related to this fight and when the fight's lock on, you'll see them pop on your screen shared by other members.

[imsotiredofmoviereboots]

I bet Matthysse will win by unanimous decision.  I really hate when Pacquiao said that this fight has a great chance of not ending in the 12th round when we all know it will. Pacquiao is just now a good sparring partner for upcoming boxers so they can have more experience to be a great legend someday.

[Gloxinia]

I would like to know what's the odds of the fight?

Too sad this fight is not under of Top rank promotion.

As far as I know, it will be scheduled as plan, 15th of July. I'm watching television yesterday and they advertise the Pacquiao-Matthysse that will be air in their station.  And I think they already finalize it so no need to worry. This will be the fight of the champions.

Oh well, that's your position and yeah Pacman can be a good gate to stardom, but please be aware that this old folks still have its guts and pride, he will be witness by his fellow countryman where he's serving as a senator, from that point maybe even he's old he will try to win this game, still future can be told by the outcome of this fight, good luck.

There will be no sites that will announced it on advance as they might be take down for violating the terms.

As usual even with those much big fights in the past, those livestream sites will be popped anywhere on the day of the match. And livestream on social media especially on Facebook will surely be available on that day.

Just a tip of advice that if you want to get accessed it on a livestream website itself, find it on early time so that you will be on their slot. Sometimes latecomers are on another channel which is frequently slow in buffering although the internet speed is good and fine.

I think its too early for the odds makers to announce what are the odds for this fight. Give it until a week before the fight and you'll start hearing which fighter gets the good numbers. Top Rank dropped Manny because of a lot of issues and one of them is Manny can't focus on just boxing. Manny has a lot of things in his plate which is not good in terms of promoting an upcoming fight.

I have a question for Manny fans or the Filipinos. This was asked by someone before but it gave no definite answer.

Manny Pacquiao is a senator in the Phillipines that would maybe make him more money, legally or illegally, than boxing. Why does he continue to do it? Is he in debt? I heard he spends and gambles too much. A common mistake among superstar athletes, I reckon.

That's his past life mate, and with the current status of Manny's relationship with people including with his favorite sport; I think hes wasn't committing any gambling bets as form of entertainment. Right now he's doing his job as a senator and this sports boxing was his hobby, and regarding that debt you're talking about its not true since Manny was now also a business man holding many businesses around the entire Philippines.
The current match that he's going to fight with is his another journey in boxing and I understand its hard for him to quit boxing, because it's his passion. So hopefully he will be winning this another fight with Matthysse.

I don't think Senator Manny have problems with gambling. As a Senator, he earns a monthly salary of about $2,194.67. Top Ranks Bob Arum says that Manny have problems with the IRS and that's one of the reason why he is not fighting in the US. Aside form that he has a lot of projects like housing projects for those who are affected by the previous calamity. He also sponsors students to go to school and free boxing training too. All of those cannot be covered by his monthly salary.

[boyptc]

Why does he continue to do it?

Something lies with his passion and it's his main career before so it's not easy to leave it.

Is he in debt?

No he doesn't have any debt to pay if there's any maybe a debt of gratitude.

I heard he spends and gambles too much. A common mistake among superstar athletes, I reckon.

He don't gamble, he's boasting his Christian life and he's a good follower so it's impossible for him to gamble(or we just don't see it).

[spiker777]

Anybody know why this fight was delayed? I thought it was scheduled for June, but looks like it's been pushed back another month.

Pacquiao is already closing in on 40, let's not make it any worse! That being said, it looks like he'll have some problems against Lucas, he's been out of the game for a while, and Lucas has performed very well recently. Looks like a 50/50 fight.
