I'm not the biggest fan of Manny as most of you know, and stylewise he really stands no chance vs. Floyd or many pure boxers for that matter. Of course once in the ring you never know so I realize this.
During the weigh-ins for Manny vs. Bradley 2, bob arum went on a rant because he came and saw all of these posters all over for the Mayweather vs. Maidana fight. Of course we don't know the numbers are for Floyd's PPV will be, while the numbers have come out for Manny Bradley which is "between 775-800k". These numbers are not bad, but it shows Manny's drawing power is gone. His fight with Rios drew just under 500k.
The Manny that seemed to hurt anyone he fought no matter how much bigger is gone. I don't know that I would believe that Manny would knowingly take anything, but as Freddie Roach said "I would ask him what was in the drinks he was giving him, and he wouldn't tell me".. ummm red flag much? Ariza has since been in trouble for giving Rios an illegal substance as well as Maidana during the Broner fight... Ariza really needs to be banned from boxing. The shame of it is, all of those fights built a false sense in Manny and now he is left to simply box, which is ok, but is headed down to 140 lbs because even Bradley hurt him and Manny doesn't have enough pure boxing skill to fend off bigger guys.
This all sounds like I'm bashing him, but I actually feel sorry for him. My brother in law is Filipino and his Mother typically goes over there to visit relatives. He was telling me about all of the tax issues you have when bringing money to or from the Philippines.
As a for instance, Manny was "guaranteed" 20 million for his fight with Bradley, arum immediately gets 30%, which is about 6 million, but then Manny has to pay taxes on the total amount earned... there goes about 6 more million +/- a few million. He now has 8 million left. Much of his money I'm sure he would want to bring over to his country... there goes a little more taxes.
My point is that with all of the fights he has had with Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, cheato, etc etc etc this has been the case each time. The guy is constantly taken advantage of by his so called "manager" who as I understand it, isn't even allowed back into the Philippines because he's a snake. He recently took some of Manny's money and bought himself a house... wasn't that nice of him? I always felt with Floyd's tremendous spending and gambling habits that he would be the one to wind up broke... but now I wonder if Manny will have anything left, including his brain when his career is over.
Thoughts?
