Comments Thread For: Photos: Pacquiao Stars in Hennessy's Massive Campaign

[D4thincarnation]

He such a big name, that Arum told Fat dan, he will no longer release his ppv numbers. Pac has not had ppv numbers released since he disobeyed the fans and fought Mosley when we all complained about it! Once the fight stunk, it hurt his drawing power, and his sales for Marquez were worse! Thats why their fighting Bradley to get some of that young Lion money, but it wont work! Cotto is a bigger star than Pac is, now! Floyd almost fought Gurrero, and once we all complained, he changed his mind! The fans have SOME control over Floyd, but NO control over pac!

Read it and weep.

No other fighter in boxing can command the kind of endorsement Pacquiao can, and their are only a handful of sportman worldwide that can get endorsements on such a broad range as Pacquiao has.

He has gone beyond boxing superstar, to boxing icon, and could end up a cultural icon

Come on guys just let it go. Pac isn't a politician because of his political know how or smarts. He's where he is because he's a famous athlete. Should someone in his political position be held to higher standards? Of coursecl, but what's done is done. Of course Pac has been a hypocrite about things, an many people think it's all fake with the good guy role and we've had evidnce of that being true. But he's a prize fighter, through and through. Let's not hate because all his personal..or perceived personal life aside, this is still kind of cool imo.



The poster above, you're exagerating a bit lol. Pac is as famous as he should be, but he's only huge in his country. He's not Michael Jordan like. Getting an endorsement deal doesn't mean anything if you're actively seeking them. Floyd sells well, and as far as I know he doesn't care about deals, yet he's still freakishly famous and/or hated. But known nonetheless. These guys are fighters and only known as fighters oytside of their respective countries. They are not icons, and never will be.

i guess u missed the part where he claimed that he was a man of god who quit drinking when god told him to do so in a dream. so his message is now, :i dont drink because god told me not to but i endorse this drink because im paid to". hypocrisy much?

im just saying if ur gonna be about something, then be about it...

God must've told Manny: pay your taxes motha****a or they gonna put you in the bing with floyd.

Manny woke up the next morning and promptly called the Hennessey people and said "I'm in".

Come on man, dont try to use silly technicalities...this Guy is endorsing alcoholic beverages, and he just quit drinking, AND he's a politician! How many politicians are endorsing alcohol I have a hard time naming em!

Im not using technicalities. just saying he's a politician. Wtf do you expect out of politicians???

You have politicians every day who endorse monogamy and family values only to get caught in a gay brothel.

Politicians who endorse insurance companies while taking advantage of free government health care.

The list goes on and on. This whole henessy thing is about as mild as you can get if your whole argument is that pac is a hypocritical politician.

Be foreal, God wouldnt want that! But please lets not turn this into a religious debate! Im just saying I dont think God minds us sipping every now and then, but he certainly wouldnt want a leader of this magnitude, plastering his face all over it!

Considering I'm an atheist Im not sure what god wants.

So I've heard the cliche "practice what you preach", but god practices but doesn't preach it? He doesn't mind us drinking but "big figures" can't endorse it?

It must be because I'm an imperfect human and can't understand a perfect god but that just sounds hypocritical

[Kagami Taiga]

So it's against god to be a hypocrite? I don't get it, how is that lessen his "holiness"? Christians are allowed to consume alcohol

And god told him to quit drinking, does that mean he told everyone?

if u dont see how this is hypocritical then i dunno wat to say to u. and im not a christian but im pretty sure its against god to be a hypocrite according to their religion. ur trying too hard, no need to defend garbage, a hypocrite is a hypocrite.

Its a big difference from sipping once in a while, and plastering ur face on it, as a big holy figure, telling people to drink...please dont drag me into a religious debate!

Yeah they are, your ignorance on the matter does not make it false.

Which current boxer has the most valuable endorsements?

Come on it is an easy one.
