The report says that the tickets hasn't sold out as compare to Pacman's previous fight. Is this the sign that boxing fans is not interested or Pacman drawing power is dwindling?

Well the last bout of Pacquiao happened in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and compared to the United States they don't have these kinds of big fights often being offered in their country that is why it is sold out, even his last fight against Jeff Horn is sold out because it happened in Australia. But its a different situation in the United States as they always have bigger names filling in their schedules. Not unless the aging legend is facing names like Terrence Crawford or Mikey Garcia expect that fights like this won't get as much hype as a lot of people are hoping for.

Today i found interesting review on my local tv show that weakness of Manny Pacquaio sometimes he was attack without thinking of defense and tend to be careless and i think Broner can utilize this with playing more calm until Pacquaio off guard and this time i hightly doubt Pacquaio can win the fight indeed he was legend but his performance not good again such as several years ago

Of course Pacquiao is already past his prime. But he still has the tools to beat or give the young and upcoming boxers a good fight. Regarding his weakness, remember his best defense is his offense.. His defense has been underrated, he has a good counter straight left and a right hook. During the Lucas Matthysse bout, he shows the left upper cut. One can argue about the Marquez KO, it was just a lucky shot.

@nutildah, Take it easy with the Red Horse

But this pacquiao is still the same man who is humble outside the ring but a beast inside, he can still known out opponent and age is not an issue here, the more he age the more he matured and on the good site, he keeps fighting so he keeps entertaining us. This getting closer, I'm also preparing my cold beer for my friends going to my house, hopefully the reason to drink is to celebrate.

GO Manny!

But if you have listen closely, it says that the most expensive ticket are sold out ($1500 -Ringside) and the cheapest one $100-$200 (gallery section) are almost sold out. Upper and Lower box ($500-$1000) hasn't sold out yet. But remember Filipinos do love the "last minute rush"  so I'm not be surprised if everything will be sold out during the actual fight date.

Yups thats a common Filipino attitude to take the rush so we wouldn’t surprise if in the last minute all of the tickets will sold out.though i have a thought that boxing fans now are more practical to watch the fight in livestreams than going to the event place,lets no forget the lowering economy of the world now so people may consider saving money for just living than spending in just a day of fight.

It could be, but maybe Broner can't really bring any of his fans to watch the fight and that all of those who bought the tickets are all Filipinos. 

@Theb - Just like I said, it just shows that Broner is just a C level fighter, can't bring any to see him fight, obviously Pacquiao needs to fight more notable names. But I doubt him and Crawford will fight though, reason: Crawford is the new cash cow of Arum. lol.

I am an avid fan of Manny Pacquiao but he has to retire now, 24 years of professional boxing and countless number of amateur fights, it will take a big toll in his body at this age without a doubt and he is 40 years of age and never took a break in his career to heal his wounds, getting punched in the face all the time for that long is not good in the first place. The thing i liked about this fight is that Freddie is coming back as his trainer and i am not a big fan of Adrien Broner, let the best man win and i would like to see a good fight.

The match is about to start, and a lot of Filipinos are supporting there in Las Vegas and hoping to have an entertaining fight!

Let's see who wins their bets too. I am rooting for Pacquiao

*edit

Pacquiao Won. Unanimous Decision! He proved that it's not yet time to stop. Congratulations who bet with Manny. Manny said that he is willing to fight Floyd! Adrien Broner is lashing out. Lol

[cabalism13]

Ofcourse you are! Hahaha, there's no way you'll support Broner, you're a filipino mate I just hope the match ends on round 6... (currently watching)

Update:
Too many blows coming from pacquiao!!! Broner can't last any more rounds I guess

As expected from the Filipino Boxer, another Win Win  for the Philippines.

[Kemarit]

Vintage Pacquiao in round 7. Caught Broner in the corner but his chin is holding up. But it's all Pacquiao from round 1. I agree with what Floyd says it's a chess match until that break out round for Manny. Let's see how it goes.

[Janation]

Pacquiao Won. Unanimous Decision! Congratulations who bet with Manny. Manny said that he is willing to fight Floyd!

Thanks for the update bro.

I've been doing a lot of things and the fight slipped into my mind. BTW, rooting for Pacquiao since he needs that confidence to fight again his rival up to date, Floyd Mayweather. It is hard to find a online or live match these days and I can't watch television so I am just depending on social media and cbssports live updates. Can't wait to see the replay.

When Pacman fights we expect knockout every time, if one fighter don't engage its not going to be fun to watch. Broner keeps watching the rounds to end. The fuck is that!

It's because his game plan is to counter Manny. There are rounds that Broner is successful with his swift counter right with Manny throws his jab. But then again when he was hit in round 7, the complexion of the game chances, he became more defensive and Manny continue to attack him, at the end it's not enough though, as I have said it became a chess game, tactical back and forth as I have said before, but Manny adjusted and didn't rush to go for a KO.

But unfortunately, most of his punches only landed on Manny's arm (due to speed difference) which we can't consider a big point for him. I think if Broner also become aggressive with few dirty boxing then he might have a chance of winning.

Once again, congrats to Manny Pacquiao for successfully defending his WBA Welterweight title (if I'm not mistaken). Filipinos are very proud of you .

Being above of 146 I can say it's too hard to get a KO especially with the age of Pacquaio but the last fight is an exemption with Matthysse don't know what his condition at that fight. But with broner, even if you ask pacquaio he will definitely say its hard to KO him with broner's speed of running.

After watching the fight from Round 1 to Round 12, I don't think Adrien Broner is there to win the fight, he just wen't there to collect his $10 Million USD paycheck and that's it. Broner has the speed, Broner have the punching power but I guess what Broner lacks is he is too afraid to go toe to toe with Manny. I see Broner throwing away punches that hits Manny but not enough to keep him down because there is no follow up made. Most of the punch landed to Manny are from counter punches. After the fight, there was an interview that says that the most punches landed by Broner is 8. But anyway, Manny made $20 Million USD for this fight.

Pacquiao had been experienced from the past when he rushed Marquez for a knockout and suddenly with just one punch from marquez all things comes against him when he slammed at the floor with no conscious at all and this give him a very good learning to never underestimate the opponent specially boner who comes very young and strong.but whats important here is Pacquiao got to win this one and we will expect another fight near future,hopefully Mayweather will be the next again

And what's funny is that he claims he won the fight, Lmao. I don't understand how can he say that? he didn't show up to fight but just to collect this paycheck as you have said.

It was easy to see that he doesn't want to engage but Pacquiao is too intelligent to fall with that counter punches although he was hit several times by Broner, but that was just about it. Congrats to Manny and hope to see a rematch with Floyd then.

Normal claim coming from the losing opponent, well the audience witness it wll and we are all satisfied with how things ended,  broner will enjoy now his paycheck and pay all his debt as before this fight we read a lots of news about his problem, now he can settle it one by one.

It's now a good indication that rematch can be call against Mayweather, the money that will flow can convince him to fight against the Filipinos fighting senator, let see how things will go after this fight.

[Gloxinia]

Manny Pacquaio solved THE Problem Adrien Broner!

I laughed so hard during the interview

Broner: I beat him, everybody out there knew I beat him
Jim Gray: You averaged 8 punches, less than 8 punches is the most punches that you had.
Me: LMAO

I don't think Broner wants to win but survive the fight.

Its okay if Manny didn't won through KO though its unanimous decision, it's still a win and that's what matters.

Congratulations to the working Senator and great Boxer Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao. Looks like he's not yet going to retire, waiting for another fight maybe for this year.

[LogitechMouse]

Manny Pacquiao solved THE Problem Adrien Broner!

Yeah he solved the problem . Broner almost knocked down twice in the 2nd half of the round. I didn't expect any knockdown or knockout in this game because I know that Broner is strong. Well, we know already that Pacquiao have some tools left to defeat some young players right there. What you think?? Pacquiao Mayweather part 2 or another challenger again for Pacquiao? We are happy for the win of our fellow warrior
