Moreover, when you couple that up with the fact, that he had all these naysayers in his ear that are supposed to be in his corner and on his side telling him that he can't defeat or at least be competitive with a guy like Bud Crawford; Then that makes things even all the more complicated than what it already is.
I HIGHLY doubt anyone working with Manny is telling him he can't beat anyone. I don't think you keep your job with a boxer telling him he can't beat someone. I'd be super surprised if someone is saying sh^t like that.
I do suspect there are cats saying this guy or that guy is "tougher" & asking for more money for certain fights & then the problem gets passed on to the promoter or network to come up with the right money, but they wouldn't be telling Manny he's gonna lose to a guy & I feel like Manny is the type who'd fight anyone if the purse is right.
