FLOYD MAYWEATHER ON PACQUIAO'S
KO LOSS: "I FEEL BAD FOR
HIM...HOPEFULLY HE CAN BOUNCE
BACK"
By Ben Thompson | December 10, 2012
"Things happen.
You live and you
learn. The only thing
he can do is
rejuvenate himself
and bounce back
like a true
champion," stated
undefeated pound-for-pound champion
Floyd Mayweather,
who shared his
thoughts on Manny
Pacquiao's shocking 6th round knockout loss at the
hands of Juan Manuel Marquez. Although he has yet
to actually see the fight, Mayweather praised the
performances of both fighters and offered some
words of advice for the 8-division world champion.
"Marquez is a true champion, Manny Pacquiao is a
true champion, both of them went out there and put
on a good performance, and that's a good thing for the
sport of boxing," Mayweather commented. "I wish
Pacquiao nothing but the best. I wish that he can
bounce back and he can recoup from this. In the sport
of boxing, you have to really dedicate yourself to your
craft. You have to really, really dedicate yourself to
your craft. I think he's got so many different things on
the outside that he worries about, you know. But it
was a good thing that he was able to come into the
sport, you know, piggyback off my name, and get a
bunch of endorsement deals and make a good living.
That's a great thing."
As far as the mega-fight with the Filipino icon is
concerned, Mayweather suggests the manner in
which Pacquiao was knocked out probably means he
has a lot more to think about, and a long way to go,
before that fight is ever a possibility again.
"Pacquiao's focus should be trying to take a vacation,
get his mind right, and get a few tune-up fights so he
can bounce back," he explained. "I'm not here to talk
bad about Pacquiao. I feel bad for him, honestly. I
really feel bad for him. There's a difference in the ways
you can get knocked out. See, when a guy gets
knocked out and he can get up, they sit him on his
stool, they rub his back, he go home and ice himself,
you know, he go to the hospital and get checked out
and he's okay, that's one thing. But when you gotta
wake a guy up with smelling salt and he got a
concussion and he gotta go to the hospital over night,
that's crucial. I mean, that's close to the death."
Mayweather added, "Hopefully he's okay. My prayers
go out to the Pacquiao family. I know he loves the
sport of boxing, so hopefully he can bounce back."

Im a Manny fan and there are actually 1 reason why Manny got deebo'd.
1) His main focus wasnt about boxing.
He has other things in his head. Pacman dedicating himself to his new religious beliefs, his TV show, music, politics and acting in the Philippines. Marquez was hungry because Pacman demolished his country when it came to Mexican fighters but its crazy how Marquez got all "Barry Bonds" pushing 40. Dude was yoked thanks to Angel Hernandez. Hmmmmm
Here we go
lol

^^^^^Just look what Mayweather said.....and he's right....
Manny is thinking about too many outside things. He isn't 100% dedicated to his sport anymore. This fight was probly is last fight where he makes over $35million.
If there is a number 5 fight between the two, Marquez will most likely get paid more.
or as much .....

Manny fans crying about PED in boxing is the funniest shit in the world to me. You are the same fans that co-signed Manny walking away from 50/50 deal because of random testing. lol. It's funny that 3 years ago Mayweather was coward because he wanted random testing, now since Manny walked into a right hand that he didn't see coming Marquez is on PED's. lol
FYI, Marquez agreed to random testing as long as Manny was randomly tested too, but we all know the testing issue died after that request. lol 3 years later and Manny still has never been randomly tested.

Manny is not making no $35 million for this fight. He will make $25 million if he's lucky. If you watched 24/7 Manny brought a $1 millions worth of tickets for Mitt Romney and his rich friends. Why in the hell would you give million's free tickets??
Manny made some good retirement money but he better retired from boxing.

I don't know if im the only one who notices, but manny at the end of most rounds in most of his fights would always jump toward his opponent as if he's gonna throw a punch but usually pulls back... This time when he jump forward marquez caught him jumping in with a solid right that put his ass to sleep... No ped's needed for that...
I think both fighters came in with the mentality that they wanted to finish the fight this time around...i think gameplans were scratched before the fight started...manny got a little too excited cause he was starting to tag marquez with big shots and thought the end was near...unfortunately it wasnt the ending he had in mind....
I'm so happy Marquez timed him jumping in. Garcia did the same thing to Khan. That's why I have always said that if Manny was ever going to fight Mayweather, Mayweather would win by KO, Manny is a check hook knockout waitng to happen.
I'm so DAMN happy Marquez got his KO win over Manny, after all the bad decisions against him, he got his KO win to put no doubt that he was the better fighter and at the age of 39 years old. Marquez fighter of the year, KO of the year, Fight of the year, and Nacho coach of the year.. The boxing gods blessed us fans in 2012.
