hmm go pacman!

Let's go Manny!!!! Even though Pacquiao will definitely be the underdog in this fight..... Patumbahin mo yan Manny!!!

Go Philippines!

Pacman win imo...de la hoya is getting old. After his pathetic performance against mayweather I thought he should retire. Lets say pacman beats de la hoya(you never know what happens) but lets say he does win. Do you think we will ever see pacman vs mayweather?

^ I do not know the outcome of the mayweather fight but if pacman pulls this off and wins, I think he should retire... How much money does he still want?

not only is he getting money...but take that money and convert it to pesos...damm hes rich

i think dela hoya might retire win or lose,i think dela hoya is self with money they should of split 50/50 cant wait for this fight.

boxers need to get all the money they can right now. pretty soon boxing viewers will be losing out to MMA.

I dunno man...I really like boxing vs mma. Mma is cool and everything but I never really got into it. I mean I watch the big fights but if I had to chose between the two I'd watch boxing. The only thing i kind of hate about boxing is the judges. OMG they make some stupid calls.

oh yeah MMA is taking over and they dont even know it.

i still like boxing over mma.
