Manny could be in some hot water. There's reports that he read a scripture from the bible that says all homosexuals should be put to death. They just had the story on ESPN's First Take. And as usual, they didn't tell the whole story. They said Manny just flat out said 'homosexuals should be put to death." Not once did they say he "allegedly" was quoting the bible.

From what I gather, he made mention of a bible verse to back up his claims that homosexuality was against God and the bible verse had that in it, he didn't actually say the quote. Here is his response:
“I only gave out my opinion that same sex marriage is against the law of God,” he told ABS-CBN’s Dyan Castillejo. “I’m not against gay people…I have a relative who is also gay. We can’t help it if they were born that way. What I’m critical of are actions that violate the word of God.” - Manny Pacquiao

So, how about that Wladimir Klitschko guy? Seems like a promising prospect. How do you think he'd fare against Ali? I say Ali in 3 rounds.....

That's what I heard too. But he probably shouldn't have said nothing as his reputation has already taken a hit and he's already have lost some planned engagements and will probably lose some endorsements.

Prime Ali outboxes him, using his speed and with Wlad's chin he might be able to put him down. It would go a lot longer than 3 rounds though. Might not be popular, but the Klitchko's would hold their own against a lot of the HW greats because of their size, skill, and knowledge of how to use range. I think Vitali would do better because he has very good defense & backs it up with an even better chin.

I wonder if Pac felt the same way when he was campaigning for Harry Reid a while back.

Might not be popular, but either one of the Klitshkos would beat Ali. Too big.

I think he could outbox Wlad and use his speed to get inside and punish Wlad's chin. Vitali would give him hell though.

Mayweather's Tweet:

I stand behind President Obama & support gay marriage. I'm an American citizen & I believe people should live their life the way they want.

Where was this before Pacquiao came out against President Obama's stance on gay-marriage?

This is what I don't like about Floyd.

[StillUnknown]

That was as predictable as saying the sun would rise.

Pac's people did something similar when Floyd dissed Jeremy Lin. They put out a tweet saying Pac supported him even though Pac later said he had no idea who he was since he doesn't really follow basketball.


Grown ass men reduced to children.

But Floyd is actually being a little hypocritical. He's the same guy that uses the word faggot like it is a second language and he was seen mocking Cotto for sleeping in the same bed with another man.

I agree, but its also hypocritical for Manny to come out so strongly now when he supported Harry Reid in 2010 who supported gay marriage before Obama.

According to Nevada commission -- Pacquiao's base purse is $6 million, Bradley's, $5 million

Those numbers are going too gro 3X for Pacman but that still won't touch Mayweather. Whats suprising though is Bradley getting 5 million thats good for him, wonder if hes getting paid too take a dive or do a Clottley.

That seems very low. I know Bradley's not a well known fighter, but I would think Pac's base would be a little higher. One thing I do agree with Mayweather on is, he should leave Top Rank.

Rafael just tweeted that Berto test positive for roids. Berto-Ortiz II is almost certainly done
