Always believed Floyd to be far superior to Manny when both were active. Manny vs Marquez was a more even fight (despite the robberies).

My concern is that Floyd hasn’t had a serious fight in nearly a decade whereas Manny has been fighting top 5 fighters in most of his recent outings.

Floyd must be desperate.

He’s paying for stuff and the cheques are bouncing.

How the fuck do you earn 1bn and still unable to pay your debts?

I think the Manny that was battering the top WWs would have beaten Floyd he had the perfect blend of speed, angles, footwork and power. We didn’t get to see them fight until arguably 5 or so years after Pacquiao’s prime and by that point he had already lost twice more (albeit one a very dubious decision) and become noticeably slower in every way.

Anyway - Floyd will likely end up losing his 0 at some point in pursuit of money. How the hell he keeps going broke like @Jules said is beyond me. He’s earned more money than you should be able to spend in multiple lifetimes yet this must be the third or forth time he’s been flat out broke and can’t pay his bills.

No wonder he is a rabid zionist

Floyd as a person is a complete moron. He’s essentially a boxing savant.

Even then you’d think he’d have found someone to manage his money and do something to at least help him keep some of it. It’s not like sports stats usually manage their finances well.

I can understand sports stars who get a $2 million a year contract for a few years and end up broke. I can’t understand people who get hundreds of millions and go broke, then get another few hundred million again and go broke. And now he’s going broke for the third or fourth time lol

Don’t think he’d listen.

He is a type of person whose heart is dead

Was Pacquiao on drugs though? Drove me nuts at the time Mayweather banging on about it.

I don’t even understand how someone could go broke earning 300k a year, let alone 2m :smiley:

You could probably live a very extravagant lifestyle on the interest a fraction of his life earnings would attract.

Basically he’s a massive dickhead and just continually proves that.

Yes, he was.

Floyd was dismantling the top boys at Welter as well - they couldn’t lay a glove on him. Then fighting later on benefitted Msnny. Floyd was older and had seriously damaged hands and shoulders.

Pretty Boy Fighter Floyd would have wiped the floor with Manny at the lower weights. All opinion but I’d have Manny as favourite for this match.

Lifestyle creep is a real thing.

Usyk v Verhoeven is wacky as hell

What a sham

Usyk has earned this to be fair. Enough motivation to train a bit, keep ticking over, get paid and beat Fury for a third time before retiring as a very rich man with his faculties about him.
