[Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21

[goinmerry]

Pacquiao will only get people's trust as a President once he hangs his gloves. That position is serious and he can't just dream of it while still active in boxing. It's different from his former position as Congressman and current position as Senator where he can still insert the time to focus on boxing.

That's not even a good thing that he focuses on both as he was elected by people to fulfill his duty. After Spence Jr., I'm sure Pacquiao still has a target boxer. He should forget running for the higher position for now.

Still no for me, it's expected that he will retire as a President if he wins in the election, but I'm not seeing that big possibility as I believe other candidates deserve more to run our beloved country. Those who are not living in the Philippines but are just basing the achievements of Manny Pacquiao in boixng, you have no idea what's happening in the Philippine politics, so I only take their comments lighgly.

[Fatunad]

^^ I think it's more on the purse that Manny needed, not the fight itself if he wanted to really run for the highest office in his country. He might get close to 1 billion php in his fight against Spence and we all know that running a public office in the Philippines requires tons of money to get your campaign going.

So regardless if he wins or lose against Spence, he will have that money he needed to pursue his presidential bid. And I don't think he will get more that popular if he wins, because he is already that popular anyway.

But actually, the question is, can he guarantee a win if he increases his popularity?

Honestly, I think the majority of the voters know the name "Manny Pacquiao", but we still see that his rating has dropped, which means a lot, in a negative way.  He will have to beat that trust rating.  -----  Duterte maintains high approval, trust ratings

Not sure if Manny can beat his trust ratings even if he win against Spence here.

He is already on the opposition side, no that is already a big disadvantage for him. The drop was obviously due to his recent corruption allegations on the current administration. And it didn't sit well with Duterte and his followers that why they insinuated a lot in the social media and troll Manny. But step aside politics, if he 'upset' Spence his popularity about the boxing community grow, he is already a legend and this win will cement his position even further, but I'm not sure if the win will change the Filipino's mind on voting him in the election.

I will bet 2 is to 10, he won't. Politics in the Philipines is not anymore about popularity, they had already elected the president that majority wants, and he has a very high trust rating, higher than any president of the Philippines I guess.

Pacquioa just have to focus on this fight, win this fight and he will start thinking wisely about whether he will run for presidency or not.

And the ratings is so high thats why its hard to beat that president even if they throw so many propaganda on him and pacquaio's career in politics is over after this. So he shouls focus on his fight since after this many filipinos will not vote him anymore since he is been exposed that his not good politician and he didn't do good in senate so far.

He had lots of criticisms when he planned out to run for presidency which it is totally out of his genre or skills in specific and i cant really blame out people on having
that kind of mindset or things in mind on where they do ending up on having bad impressions towards him and making out some issues against on the current administration
which did really make the situation even more worst.It would be good for him if he would just stick out on the current place or position that he has and focus on the upcoming
fight and would able to get back on what he had messed out earlier in the minds and impressions of his fellow countrymen.

I believe he will retire from boxing if he wins the Presidency, he doesn't want to be criticized even if he makes history as a boxing President and a champion. The job is too big for him, he should give all his focus and when he is in boxing and he is training, he is not doing his job as being a President, your job is daily and 24/7.

This is why his trust rating declines and disapproval rating goes up because people no longer believe his statement that he dedicates his fight for his country but the truth is, he is fighting for his self-interest.

Before entering politics, Manny is a beauty to watch whenever he fights, even a not-so-hardcore boxing fan could appreciate his boxing style.

Money, fame, and power are what Manny wants to achieve and he all got these, it's not advisable for him to grab the most powerful position if he is still boxing and he can still fulfill his dream to help people in his current stature.

Well, that is expected of him --he will surely resign from his boxing career once he got his Presidency, I can't imagine the president of the Philippines was in a boxing court having a match, sounds not good to me. I don't think Manny will win his Presidency, I idolized him as a boxer but when it comes to being a leader in our country, that is a different story here. He will surely not be capable to handle a country and as I can see, many people don't want him to be a president but it does not mean I will not support him when he was in the boxing ring.

On point.

We all have the same sentiments here that Pacquiao is not fit as a President. The task is too much to handle and he's not ripe in politics.

If he really wants that position, come back after 10 years in the 2032 Elections. He should have had enough experience as a politician at that time.

Being President has a lot of responsibilities to take. I can't say much on this because I don't want to underestimate Pacquiao's capabilities. Who knows, a country doesn't need a very well educated individual to make a change? But of course, when it comes to boxing, I am rooting for him. Excited to watch this fight as I'm placing bets on him.

People surrounds him contribute to the way he thinks right now and I think he need a wake up call that he cannot take all what he want in this world. Running a country is not easy and I'm really sure that he cannot do it since he don't have capability to do that hard job. Maybe your right he should stick on where he current stands since that is the best place where he can practice more his self maybe in next 10 years he is more knowledgeable and can able to carry the huge challenges in the country. I don't know if he can focus on his fight but still wishing him to win since its still a honor to the country if he win this fight.

[blockman]

IMHO, it's better to make this thread focused on his fight and avoid discussing his possible run for the presidency and anything related to politics. Since adding that will give anyone's opinion differently towards the match. Let's make the thread clean even though we know that he's going to run for president and look at the most recent situation that he's been with during his training. There are three more weeks until his match finally happens and I know that it's unavoidable to discuss Pacquiao's motive of running to the presidency but that's just a suggestion of mine.

I agree because its already out of topic since this is a thread created for that Spence and Pacquiao fight but it isnt really that avoidable on making up some mentions because its part of his career but well
lets talk about the fight on next post to come and wont be continuing those discussions above.

I wasnt aware that Pacquiao is out of the ring for 2 years which we dont know if he had made out some body conditioning or something like that on that particular time.
https://www.rappler.com/sports/boxing/pacquiao-oozes-energy-betting-odds-vs-spence-continues-shrink

Spence is listed as a -220 favorite and Pacquiao a +180 underdog.

Its not bad to put up some bucks on Pacquiao and thats an advantage.

Yeah, its really hard to separate Manny and his political ambitions, same as Manny's name also comes out when we talk about Floyd greatness.

Yes, it's not that bad to put a bet on Pacquiao as early as today. Well, the fight is just 3 weeks on the calendar and for sure money are going to slowly pour in in crypto/fiat based casinos. And we might see Manny's supporters bringing in big numbers to close that odds before fight night.

Hehe I reckon you should consider the source of that article. .gov.ph is a government website, of course it will say his trust ratings is high.

In any case, we are being offtopic. Watch this video comparing Pacman and Spence training on the boxing pads. The difference in speed is very clear, but Spence has some power however slow. I reckon first 6 rounds will be for Manny the other 6 will depend on his conditioning which does not improve with age.

I am not quite certain on the state of politics in the Philippines, however, I am very certain that governments of 3rd world countries are very widespread in corruption from the bottom to the top. It might not be provable but this does not suggest that it is not there.

In any case, if Pacman’s trust rating is declining then this victory versus Spence on August 21 is very much needed for him. The purse might also be needed to fund his campaign hehehehe.

I am not sure whether Pacquiao would spend any of his personal wealth on the presidential campaign. Campaign funds are usually sourced from the public and the corporates. There have been exceptions, and one example is during the 2016 US presidential election when Donald Trump spent a lot of his own personal wealth on the campaign. Also, I don't think that the outcome of his fight against Errol Spence Jr will have any impact on the presidential race. He is already a well known figure in the Philippines and he don't need any such boost.

Yes, it isn't avoidable but that's just an opinion of me because if the topic is all about Pacquiao's political career, you'll really see a lot that are willing to discuss about it. Anyway, I've seen this news about Paradigm and Pacquiao but I'm sure that this has already been settled and there's no need to worry for the upcoming.

It will not be settled right away, it might take time as this is a lawsuit against Manny Pacquiao for breaching a contract but this issue is already over, people are already tired of discussing it, instead, they focus on the politics and what's happening now about this fight.

let's talk about the odds now -

in bitsler, odds for Pacquiao goes down a bit to 2.49, sportsbet at 2.50, FJ at 2.62 but beja is still at 3.0

spence at 1.45-1.50 odds. it means, spence is still the favourite here by bookies. will the odds change to 2.0 for pacquiao?

stake has no odds yet...

[Kemarit]

After hearing that Spence is going to retire Pacquiao, it seems though that he mellow his statements against the Manny specially after they have a photo shoot and some sort of media interview. I've read a lot of Spence interviews and it seems that he really respect Pacquiao. And se said that it will be like passing of the torch if he beats the legends. But make no mistakes about it, yes Manny is also respecting him, but come fight, I don't think that Manny will get him off the hook here.

His track record in politics will give everyone the idea if he is capable to handle bigger things and responsibilities as public servant.

But it seems those records and numbers gives the judgment that he isn't capable. Yeah, let us go back to the odds.

Hehehe Pacman is always respectful outside of the ring. I am a fan, however, sometimes I hate his interviews because he does not tell everyone what is in his mind. This might be because he cannot express himself well when he is speaking in English. He should hire a translator. This might make him look tougher similar to those Mexican boxers when they speak in Spanish hehehehe.
