Why Manny is respected more than Floyd

Pacquiao's last 3 opponents have a combined record of 101 wins, 7 losses and 1 draw. All full time boxers. And, he has expressed interest in fighting undefeated (27 - 0) Errol Spencer Jr soon. 

Floyd's next "opponent" is 0 - 1 in boxing. His previous 2 foes had zero boxing experience. If he was raising money for charity by doing these sideshow fights, it would be ok. But, he clowns some novice then acts like it was some great accomplishment.  If you want to be recognized for your boxing prowess, box some legitimate foes. Otherwise, be retired. Get a commentary gig, be a trainer or a promoter. No one can ever take away your achievements in the ring.

Win or lose, Manny has always been a warrior. I don't think Manny can beat Spence at his age. But, I respect him for being willing to try to prove me wrong. I suspect that win or lose, he's thinking one last big fight / payday. There are reports that he is planning a Presidential run soon.

It's Crawford and Spence are ducking Manny.they are waiting for him to turn 50

Those two have no reason not to fight Manny,it'll be their biggest fight money and name wise yet they're not trying to make that fight.one time Spence mentioned Manny he said he'll fight him 5 fights down the line.

Manny is making bank of gimmick “fights” that have zero harm in hurting him in any way shape or form. Pac at this age is still out earning the hard way. Who is smarter?

Manny has pretty much proved himself and is done fighting. That shouldnt take away from his career

Dumb arguing for Manny. I dont even like him

If youre Filipino you don’t get an opinion here because you’re certainly biased.

Floyd has done everything possible to be unlikable and Manny has always had a much warmer personality.

Both fighters ducked each other. Both are tremendously accomplished. Manny was more offensive and his s.t.y.l.e. was more fan friendly.

Floyd committed domestic violence.

If Manny was smart like Floyd he would be taking this exhibitions for millions besides still trying to box top level guys for a pay day. It’s been said for years he’s too generous with his money and the people around him would rip him off (Arum included).

Floyd is retired, he can do all the gay bs fights he wants. I would encourage people not to pay ppv for them.

That said, Manny's has always been more exciting, and he smiles a lot and seems to be a nice guy.

So if you're black American, their opinions are invalid?

Honestly, probably.

Manny is still doing these fights because he has money issues.

Floyd has no real reason to fight top guys if he can grab 10-50 mil for an exhibition sparring session

Even if Manny blows all of his money from each and every fight he’ll never go broke. As the highest level celebrity the Philippines has ever had he’ll always have endorsements and the ability to use his name and likeness. 

Additionally, as a politician with a legitimate Presidential chance, and failing that, lifelong roles at some level of government, he won’t ever hurt for cash.

His life may need adjustment if he screws up along the way but conversely, if he plays his political cards properly, he’ll make more money from that career than his boxing one.

Floyd has transcended boxing.  In that arena, he has nowhere to go but down.  He's undefeated, barely ever been touched, and is 40.  He also won the game.  In fact, he owns the game.  He IS the game.  If you go to a Mayweather event and buy a Pacquiao t-shirt, he even gets a cut of THAT. 

Relative to what Floyd could be doing and with whom he could be doing it with, no one really outside of boxing cares about someone like Spence.  These celeb crossover bouts are huge potential business, and pose little risk to Mayweather. 

To be his age and to return to a sport he conquered long long ago to fight the young lions isn't very business savvy, because once Floyd loses, his earning potential plummets significantly.

The issue is  black Americans cannot have an opinion on the OP due to their nationality. Is this correct or incorrect?

No, because black Americans have literally hundreds of world famous star athletes to look up to so Floyd doesn’t stand out.

Floyd only tied Marcianos record, his conor win should not count as a 50th win, he should have fought a legit boxer for that

You comparing apples and oranges. 

 

Floyd understands prize fighting. 

 

he doesn’t give a shit what you think about “ more respected”. You will buy the ppv even if it’s against a youtuber. 

 

I get what you are saying OP, I like Manny as a human better than Floyd. 

 

but at the end of the day, when you take personality out of the equation,

Pretty Boy Floyd is 50-0 and has a lot on money. 

 

he wins.

LOL. Errol would butcher Pacman. Technically superior  and much more physical.
