Nasty Pacquiao headlines! Fact or fiction?


Is Miguel Cotto getting in Manny
Pacquiao's head? Courtesy:
toprank.com

Save some of these nasty headlines. Tape them to your refrigerator. Show them to your grandchildren. Heck, show them to the guy at the next desk that wrote off Manny Pacquiao.

That he couldn't handle the pressure. That he was so weak, that he fell pray to the leeches in his own inner circle and didn't listen to his trainer Freddie Roach when he really needed to, when he was vulnerable.

For instance:

1. Is Floyd Mayweather, Jr the best?
2. Is Roach right? Has Pacquiao's head been turned from the ring?
3. Manny Pacquiao: Is he taking Miguel Cotto lightly?
4. O, Canada, Pacquiao considers Vancouver as training site
5. Pacquiao over rules Roach
6. No rift with Roach

These are just a few. From Friday September 4!

Tell me nothing is going on. I didn't see this this even a couple of weeks ago, The natives and media are getting restless for or from something. What is it? Something has happened. Is it real or imagined?

Have both philboxing.com and Pacland gone haywire?

If the fight were in 24 hours, it would already be a top 20 highest grossing revenue fights off all time and we really have nine weeks to go until November 14. So it's not about the money.

Well, maybe how it gets distributed inside team Pacquiao, and who's in the VIP line at the breakfast buffet Sunday morning November 15 and who's looking for a ride to McCarran Airport in Las Vegas for the trip back to Gen San.  It's the little things.

Pacquiao needs some addition by subtraction. He needs some heads to roll in his camp. He needs to shut up publicly.

Pacquiao shouldn't say anything until the New York press conference Thursday (open to the public at Yankee Stadium) and then he needs to lay down the law that he won't be discussing it again. Ever.

    I dont see any point to what you just wrote...
    seems like your just blowing steam, is that it? thats your ammunition against pacquiao???
    "oohh look at him, he cant handle the pressure"
    "ohh hes not training""

    lol your pathetic seriously, your targeting his crew member whom are not even boxers lol. yeah there are money hungry leech sucking the cash cow as always and everywhere. so what was your point that he has those? lol thats prety weak, you need bigger ammunition, not just things you think over your head to blow of steam. you need solid facts to throw, this will never be front page if you write for a giant news company.

    Journalists either foreign or filipino doesn´t care at all what will be the impact of their articles about Pacquiao. All they care is to post it, make it success and earn their living while the people around him just want a piece of his success, popularity and his money. Pacquiao today looks like a robot who they can spin and manipulate whenever they want. Everybody are expecting him entertaining all of them. Nobody knows him during the time he is struggling to be known as a boxer, now he is famous everybody wants a piece of him. And when the time comes that he started to struggle, he goes down alone. Everybody will make excuses, criticizing him or even pretending not knowing him. People in general as well as the journalists who are writing or chasing him today are the bad angels leading him to his downfall. They are all evil.

  • damn huggers 2 years ago

    Sto;ow kust reacted to the present brouhaha that is happening in Pacland. Anybody surfing its contents know that the fans are divided on certain issues. Being blind aboit the whole situation does not help a bit as long as there are a lot of clarifications tht Pac himself needs to open up. Bad is its his not so popular advisers themselves who prepares all the damage contro; they initiated in the first place.

    people loves Manny because of boxing not his stupid and lousy acting.... Damn you Manny if you lose to Cotto do you think you still have commercials! In your dreams pal! Just concentrate on boxing. p.s pacman will lose again in politics

  • Mactaczink 2 years ago

    Pacman eventually conceaded and gave up himself from the fruits of his boxing success...now, acting, singing, gambling, womanizing, drinking....'hope..he'll give time to watch his fights 10 years ago..how thin his body was, maybe memories of life struggle will comeback to him, no money, few friends & supporters, cant afford gambling, snub by women, he only sings in the bath room cause nobody would care to listen, he cant even afford to buy a beer for himself....Roach knows the best for him when it comes to boxing...nobody else, even him....

    NOBODY UNDERSTAND I GUESS THAT PACQUIAO HAS A LOT OF COMMITTMENTS ..i.e. Election Campaign, Movie, TV Commercials and so on and so forth....

    But I think Manny is more committed to BOXING as he is making history here......He said that he needs only 8 weeks to train.

  • Fred Enanoza 2 years ago

    1 - Floyd is not part of the equation. Who cares about a NUMBER ONE MORON like Floyd?
    2 - If Roach is right, then what? Manny will not run away from the ring with or without those boot lickers around him like M. Koncz. Just see and wait come Nov 14.
    3 - Manny said himself that Cotto is a smart and bigger foe. This alone defies the illogical question whether or not Manny is taking Cotto lightly.
    4 - Venue for training has been firmed up - in Baguio, Philippines.
    5 & 6 - It's the boxer's decision that matters at the end of the day, not the trainer. Rift between Manny and Roach does not exist, the little tit-for-tat has been blown out of proportion by those who makes an issue out of nothing.

  • who 2 years ago

    Its not about showbiz and other commitments of PAC. Thats old news. PAC has been doin that since thats start, so no need to worry.
    Its all about Roach and PAC and where to train

  • clarify please.... 2 years ago

    So from now, is it really 8 weeks of uninterrupted training or is it 8 weeks including promotional gigs and traveltime etc?....meaning less than 8 weeks? If this is the case and we have less than the said 8 weeks, then the whole excercise is moot in the first place. Someone in the know please clarify? Thank you.

  • points to ponder 2 years ago

    What matt Stolow did was just offer an issue soliciting various angles and opinions from fans and detractors alike. That's what this article is all about. Guess he got multiple reactions from different thoughts as he expected....some pro and some against. In the end it benefits Manny bigtime as these type of articles generate the needed buzz and controversies for the upcoming fight. Hopefully those cons against Pac are not true but the chapter has'nt ended yet so things will unravel by itself soon I hope.

  • Jaggernaut 2 years ago

    All because the Pac nation are all concerned about the lack of commitment of Pacman for when is he going to training camp, IMO Pacman will be fine. Nearly half of the training camp is how to lose weight and be tough, fast and strong at the same time and not come out weak and dehydrated. Reason why Cotto is way ahead of Pacman going to training is because he has to lose a lot of weight, Cotto walks around between 160 and 170 pounds. The good thing is, Pacman never have to worry about his food intake or make a drastic change to his diet just to lose maybe 5 pounds at the most. Everybody is aware how Manny put himself through training, even Roach has to hold him back so as not to over train himself. Pacman will be stronger and faster than ever before. Come fight night we'll find out if his tough enough against Cotto, Cotto is tough, bigger, stronger and can take a good beating...........this is a must see fight and I can't wait.......Go Pacman!!!

  • dmr 2 years ago

    lots of comment, still, we're all concerned.. good luck pacman.. f not for boxing, ur nothing....

  • china_boy 2 years ago

    1. Is Floyd Mayweather, Jr the best? Yes...According to himself.
    2. Is Roach right? Has Pacquiao's head been turned from the ring? Yes. I think Pacquiao is moving to another direction but not completely 180 degree turn. He is trying to hit 3 birds with one stone.(boxing, movies and politics)
    3. Manny Pacquiao: Is he taking Miguel Cotto lightly?I don't think so. He knows he can beat Cotto. He knows himself. I think he saw something in Cotto's fight with Clottey. So I guess he will prepare the right way.
    4. O, Canada, Pacquiao considers Vancouver as training site- Bauguio is his choice.
    5. Pacquiao over rules Roach. Roach agrees to this and will go to the Philippines to train Pacquiao. Roach just voiced out his opinion about what place he would prefer to train the Pacman
    6. No rift with Roach.Agree to this. They have been together for 9 yeas almost 10. They are like Tito Vic and Joey.Roach, Buboy and Pacquiao...Konckz is Willie Revillame...nyahahaha

  • ILOCANO BOXING FAN 2 years ago

    It was MANNY who said,"If you train hard,boxing is easy."Now, the question is,does he want it that way?It is his decision and let us leave him to decide,whether he wants to make it easy for him or very difficult that could lead for him to fail on fight night.I wish him all the best of luck against COTTO for his victory will be priceless for all his fans all over the world and ultimately for the FILIPINO people.

  • Gman134 2 years ago

    Pacmamiacas are in denial ...manny know's himself that he can beat cotto thats why he hasn't begun his training yet? lol...cotto already go a full month ahead of this little guy...Lets get real in here...This is going to be the roughest toughest. most at risk fight in his career...Cotto in 8 by tko ko! for the overhyped pacman...the dreams over

    We must believe to our idol. He knows what he is doing. We must not be so judgmental about his attitudes right now. He is a man of commitment. He finishes his responsibilities.. So we must put our faith in him. I know Pacman gonna win this fight and I know he will again give glory to our country. Kaya Pacman Go go Pabuenas Go..

  • Iking of Pateros 2 years ago

    Everything thats happening in Pacland is the making of Pacquiao himself. There are lot of questions MP need to answer to his fans. 1. Why does he need to do filming and movies? His acting sucks and his face is ugly and was meant for boxing not for movies. Who does he think of himself, a Papa Piolo or the late Rene Requestas? 2. Some of the personalities that sourrounds him are notorious and evil. Mr. Chavit Singson to name one. 3.If he wants to give public service, why does he need to be a politician when him being in boxing is already servicing the public?

  • Pol Canonce Barugo, Leyte Phil. 2 years ago

    An Open letter to international and local media!
    Team Pacquiao has only 8 weeks solid time schedule and I do think there is no time alloted for any delays that might occur e.g disruptions due to distractions of PACMAN fans & the media personalities who will try to get exclusive scoop of the training preps. I think this is something Freddie Roach is fearing if and when to troubleshoot time constraints should waste of time occur due to unforseen events. Mexico is 100% distractions proof compared to Baguio. While Baguio proponent made 100% assurance of training focus, they are not sure of externally caused disturbances if it can be avoided. Local media is now contemplating of how to break training protocol in order for them to get exclusive training scoops because it will sell like hot cakes for them. They are there for scoop & profit after all. This is a hard task for Team Pacquiao and Freddie Roach is quite aware of this scenario & even the great Coach will be greatly disturbed by this

  • rey 2 years ago

    Manny is the person who knows what is best for himself.Roach is there to compliment if not make it perfect for him. In the ring, its only Manny against Cotto. I think eight weeks of training is enough.As for Konz and all the sidekicks, Manny knows thats only part of business, I think, he's earning at the same time enjoying. When Manny is gone all this people will disappear of course unless hes a memeber of the family. Thats life . everybody knows it including Manny.

  • marc 2 years ago

    Manny wake up recall the Pacquaio vs Barrera II...You had a very poor performance in that fight because you did not heed the advise of Freddie Roach. Now, you want to do it again...go ahead and your filipino people wont love you anymore...anyway even you lose, you will get the highest paycheck unless you will get killed in this very dangerous fight of your career.

    YOU dont know the difference between fact and opinion. The issues that you raised may have factual basis as reported. But that Mayweather is the best, that is just an opinion. You are a Mayweather/Golden Boy paid PRO. Yes, I think so.

  • magic 2 years ago

    @marc

    stupid moron stop referring to pacquiao v. barrera II and saying pacquiao's performance was poor, it only shows your stupidity and limited knowledge in boxing. that one pac v barrera II is a boxing match because barrera chose to box rather than engage in punching toe to toe. yes, boxing and punching is two different thing as like boxer and puncher. get my point?

  • mr. X 2 years ago

    manny, you are too confident for your 8weeks training is enough..but i doubted it. one clean hit from cotto can get you down for sure..good luck pacman fansss.
