No offense Bernardo but you are Dumbinican.. According to the US Census 1 in 3 Dominicans collect Food Stamps in America.

Maybe you should help your primos get a job so they're not a burden on the rest of us instead of spending so much time on the internet mocking other people who are wayyyyy richer than you goat sacrificing, potato head worshipping low lives...

GINO ROS god

Let's be honest here. Shouldn't a Congressman have the basic intelligence to know that you don't sign with TWO promoters?

That's like having two cable systems...both of which show the same channels.

Boxing trainer Freddie Roach, made a pretty eye popping comment recently when talking about his fighter Manny Pacquiao.

During an interview Roach reportedly told author and boxing trainer Brin-Jonathan Butler, that because of Pacquaio's large entourage and big heart he has to keep fighting, no matter what.

“He’s broke because of that and all the people he flies around to his fights," Roach said. "He goes through money like you wouldn’t believe. He can’t say no. Of course he’ll have to keep fighting. He does now. He won’t be able to stop – it’s his life.”

The Filipino champion made $20 million for his fight with Shane Mosely in May 2011. He's had previous paydays of $15 million for facing Oscar dela Hoya in 2008, and $13 million for each fight against Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto in 2009. In 2010 he got $12 million to defeat Joshua Clottey, and an additional $20 million when he destroyed Antonio Margarito that same year.

With that kind of income it's hard to imagine Pacquiao would be having financial problems, but Roach knows him probably better than anyone else.

I just hope Pac Man doesn't end up like countless former boxing champions who squandered their millions

On the other hand, its probably safe to say that he also spends a lot of dough in giving away houses and cash for free on his weekly game show.

That would be ******. Its not what Manny's getting whats the problem. Its how Manny is handling his money. Arum made Manny the star he is. You think Manny would get this far and get away from avoiding being tested? Think if Floyd was with Arum. Arum would had crushed Manny's rep. Who would be their to protect Manny from the media and fix Manny up in fights with advantages that favor Manny. Who would fix all of those cracker jack belts for Pac? Manny needs Arum and someone to teach him(Manny) basic finances.

Real talk right here.
