Manny Pacquiao: Stand Up and Do What Boxing Needs You to Do -- Ringside Report

By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt, RingsideReport.com

So the big fight is set for November 13th between a definite future Hall of Famer in Manny Pacquiao and a proven cheater who pretends he didn’t know that his hand wraps were tampered with in Antonio Margarito.

So did Margarito’s promoter pay off the Texas Commission or they are just that corrupt without any help of lining their pockets? That is the question of the year. One that Fan Boy/Groupie Journalists out there cannot understand because their lips are so attached to Manny’s tush that they are blind to see.

Even diehard Paclanders are getting tired of the Fan Boy/Groupie Journalists who never are objective and come up with lines like “blah blah blah, I love Manny Pacquiao, I wear XXXL Manny pajamas to bed every night and on my nightstand, I kiss his picture that he signed (only after I begged him to) for me.”

Sounds crazy right? Well, it’s not.

You have a contingent of Groupie Journalists out there which are getting larger by the day, both figuratively and literally at times. What needs to happen and though I know it’s probably too late, is for Manny to call off this farce. Sure I will not dispute this is a business, and if Pacquiao were say a contender, and this was his first title shot, I could understand to an extent, but it’s not. He is a 7 division champion and a multi-millionaire as well. As his right hand man, you have a Class Act in trainer Freddie Roach who I am willing to wager deep inside he is disgusted this fight is coming to fruition. But with all of this said, Manny Pacquiao is the one who needs to stand up and say, “For the sake of the sport I love, I am no longer willing to give a known cheater a chance to make millions of dollars by facing me. The fight is off!”

Boxing has a black eye for many reasons, but I still love the sport and respect the warriors who put their lives on the line which include Manny Pacquiao. This farce doesn’t deserve the press it will bring boxing and it is negative for sure. So with this being September 1st, I think the only thing true boxing fans can do is not tune in on November 13th, and take that money and have a night out on the town.

Let the large growing number of Fan Boy/Groupie Journalists out there continue with the ridiculous articles which, by the way, ask one of them a boxing history question and even keep it simple to see if they can answer it. My money is on that they pass… They know zero about the sport and actually hurt guys like Manny Pacquiao and many other fighters out there.
