Manny Pacquiao: Big Problems For Team Pacquiao?

[SuperJacobi1]

do you feel like a idiot now?lol,this video of yours was all wishful thinking fool lol

[Daren2007]

your too into the drama, all that is just stuff they can use for 24/7...i think they are using the steroid controversy , to make the 24/7 more interesting...if floyd really want to know if pacquiao is using steroid, everyday urine test should + blood test before training camp, blood test 30 days before fight and test after the fight should be enough.Pacquaio loses 5+ pounds every workout. i don't he wants to be bothered with blood tests frequently. Just my opinion.

[miksiekel]

i agree with you man everything you said is right.i wish pacquiao will over come all that problem to make all happy..its sad to see pacquiao ang roach to separate...thanx man godbless...

[LunaPap]

great breakdown

[Vivek1251]

Thank you, I'll be doing another one w/in a few days before I head to Las Vegas for the big showdown. Stay tuned, keep in touch my man. Peace...

[LunaPap]

yeah I enjoy your logic and angle.Little mention on the other side of the psychological profile recently showed by Pacman. Cotto, the Mexican, is stronger,he's tough - provided he retains his identity he can break Pacman down fast.

[LunaPap]

oops Cotto is from Puerto Rico, pardon me.

[yadnola]

@Vivek1251 question!! who do you go if pac and pbf happen? and why? peace!!!!

[nil1230]

manny pacquiao grew his head big...no one stays humble..

[mavi0524]

I think Pacquiao finally heeding Roach's request to go back to the US to train will bring some sense back to the Pacman.

He acted stupidly trying to juggle training & politicking in the Philippines. I'm not too confident on him on this fight. He better make up for wasted time or he'll be a sorry ass. And if that happens, let's see if hes' still that important to those incompetent politicians exploiting his fame.

[42Drifter]

After the fight , will see what you miss in Cotto's camp.

[canisbellum]

Hey dude really like your breakdown/analysis of the whole issue.

I'm a big Pacquiao fan and as much as I hate to admit it, I do believe the celebrity thing is getting into his head a little bit much.

In saying that however, I don't think it would affect Pacquiao much. He's always been good with training and preparation "once the gym doors close" and there's no better trainer than Roach. I still have faith with what these two are able to do when it's time to fight.

Keep up the good work man!

[Vivek1251]

Thanks for the kind words, bro. Many Pacquiao fans take it as if I don't like him, but i deal in reality and like to see the full circle not half of it. We'll see what happens but all of these things could very well initiate the start of a few not so good things.

[Vivek1251]

Thanks for the kind words my man. Keep in touch. Peace...

[dedicatedian2002]

MAYWEATHER IS ALL ABOUT MONEY! HOW THE HELL CAN HE WALK AWAY WITH A 50 m DOLLARS FIGHT WITH PACMAN. pACMAN DONT NEED 50 M. IN THE PHILIPPINES YOU ONLY NEED 1 M DOLLARS TO LIVE A LIFE TIME. noW ITS ABOUT LEGACY WITH MAYWEATHER?? Lololol

[CtoiTheBulletDodger]

nice video

[bigfucker2010]

i know & i understand a lot of people out there are very disappointed with the man's recent acts..but as much as i want to jump the bandwagon of haters and critics, i'd rather save it, cause i believe that money and fame can change a person, more often than not. so let's leave it up to the man. let him continue the path he wants to take whether it's the right path or the wrong path. he's grown up like freddie said. and tha's his life. we care, yes! but does he?? just my 2 cents.

[boxerpuncherj]

Great video Vivek, you da man!!!

[phgojas1]

pure hype!.."an organized chaos", vivek dude you're doing good as always..peace

[l3gr3t]

If cotto will win this fight it will be a start of a great trilogy in boxing! This would also posponed the retirement of Pacquiao and maybe becoz of his loss his political career will be set aside! We love manny as a boxer but not as politician! Go Cotto beat Manny! hehe

[1Grosvenor3]

DOUG FISHER?

[Vivek1251]

What about him. I've never really followed his work but i do know of the name. did he say something similar?

[1Grosvenor3]

you look very much like him .

[pinoykulet]

@Vivek1251 I think he ment you resemble him

[TheIndependentView]

I just commented on another video that says exactly what you are saying. Basically Manny's heart is not focus on this fight. He is already to Political. Manny's entourage are telling him what he wants to hear but not what he needs to. Roach got him to where he is now and he needs to give Roach the respect. He is the only one that really have Manny's well being in mind. You are absolutely right. This could be the beginning of Pacquiao's demise...I hope not but Fame can Kill!

[bobbobmarley27]

ill confirm u until the fight end this coming Nov 14 dude....lets see if ur correct....

[USSCurtisWilbur]

very accurate observation

[BigBuoyant]

I'm pulling for Pac to win this fight, but even if he's back on track why would he increase the chance of a career ending knockout from Cotto? It's not just the fact Pac might lose, but becoming a shot fighter in the process, psychologically non-recoverable. Just because he's been kayo'd before and is now p4p #1 doesn't mean he'll have the same fiery passion to acheive it again. Dahil maraming advisors na hinahalikan ang puwet ni Idol sa camp. WAR PAC! T.Y. for dedicating this fight for victims!

[manymul]

Hey Guys, We can admit all Vivek1251 is saying, but hold on, this is just an opinion for what will be the outcome of the fight for the reason that all been mentioned, remember that the fight is not yet started and not over yet means if PAC wins the fight these are all be meaningless.

[somefunFOREAL]

Prop to u Vivek, u are definitely one of my favorite boxing analysts from youtube and bloody elbow. Pacman is fighting with the trappings of success a greater opponent than cotto.

[Vivek1251]

Thanks for the kind words dude. Keep in touch, and stay tuned. Gonna have some cool stuff about this fight dropping early next week.

[kapitbahayTV]

u just watched the 24/7 brother.dont believe the hype.its all good in team pacquiao.hbo is just tryn to make the show interesting

[lignas]

Pacquaio camp is always been in disarray whenever he trains in the Philippines, but to me, it's no conflict. PAC is use to this and everything else are small noises that are "hype" up. Nothing in the past 4 years suggest he had a bad camp which resulted his defeat. NADA! Even if he were to lose to Cotto, Team PAC can't use this excuse. Again, I still favor PAC to win this fight inspite the chaos that always surround Team Pacquaio.

[ChummyChime]

I'm a Filipino and I think Pacquiao's head is getting big. It is the fucking politics there, why is the politician having meeting with him? shit.

If this continues, goodbye Pacquiao, you are on your own. I will not support you. You supposed to change the bad habits of the Philippines Politics and not be just a follower.

[bert1977]

Distruction in Pacquiao camp is not new.

[flyinghotwing]

Greetings my fav. ESB writer/ I enjoyed your article on the Pacman circus, I think it won't make any difference come 11/14, like you and all boxing fans I expect a great fight to say the least. What I cannot believe though, is what you can say that Margarito may have NOT known his gloves were loaded. I just find it hard to believe, as much as i liked Margacheato before, i feel he HAD to know-especially given Cotto's swollen face in their fight, it "seems" Margo was cheating then...

[aznvedz]

the nasty and painful truth is, in the philippines, politics are more like a popularity contest than an actual political race. most people in the philippines doesn't have any idea what the candidates plan if they win. they just go by name.if a guy is famous, lets believe what he says and vote for him. that is why most actors and actresses become politician in the philippines. sad but true.

[42Drifter]

I have no problem respecting your opinion as long as it is an opinion and I have no problem seeing MP negative side as long as it is not being discuss unfairly, I hate to see people destroying other people life just for the sake of gossip, i've seen so many of this stuff in American culture. There are some people can be influence just by misquoting .Keep Fair and Balance.

[Vivek1251]

Who started gossip? Dude, you're runnin' out of things to say, my man. I run from gossip, so don't confuse me with some of these cats that act like lil' chicks on the net. i speak the truth, and nothing i said is fictitious. again, this is as fair and balanced as it's gonna get. EVERYONE else out there but HBO has run away from this truth. if me being the blacksheep means backlash from guys like you, i'd rather you hate me for being honest than love me for lying. so hate away. i stand by my word

[MeRuffus74]

guiltygear100 that's why I posted "some PacFan worship Manny" I'm in the States & have Filipinos friends & U can have a valid argument some & others you just can't. I'm a huge MP fan but 4 this fight I'm going 4 Cotto for various reasons, 1 been I'm from PR. But I think that styles make fight and I happen to like MC's chances vs MP. I'm glad U explained another side of Filipinos mentality towards Manny political aspirations! Boxingwise best thing that ever happen to Manny is Freddy Roach period

[42Drifter]

You are Commenting and Making an Opinion.

Don't say you are reporting, just a question I don't mean no disrespect> Do you consider yourself a reporter or journalist ? so I can have a better understanding if I should take your article seriously? Peace.

[Vivek1251]

im not a reporter. i discuss things being reported. im a writer. categorically you can put it however you like, bottomline, i didnt create the things being said, i spoke and gave my opinion on them. if you dont like it, feel free to roam elsewhere, but truth is, i said nothing that was fictitious. nothing at all. if you can't handle it, take that up w/team pacquiao dude. i respect your opinion, but u need to respect mine or go elsewhere cuz i plan to keep deliverin' the way i do.

[Vivek1251]

how is it that other filipino's come here, and are honest enough to admit this, yet you and a few others are so sensitive like im makin this stuff up. where are u when i report the good stuff. you're quiet b/c im saying what u want to hear. that isnt' always gonna be the case dude. some of us walk down the middle of the road. i have no affinity to any man but God. everyone else is tryin to make a livin like me and subject to criticism like me. i took mine from u, he can take some from me

[flyinghotwing]

if its any value, and i'm pretty sure you know this, there are SO many filipino fight fans who really are pacman fans without much all around knowledge of the sport, so they can't seem to see outside of a small box.

[myfeet14]

dude just shut up...no one is asking to watch this video...you cant handle the truth bro...

[kiwinonoy]

They are now in the US and are sure Manny Pacquiao can recover away from disruption and the tendency by corrupt politicians to use Pacman training as a political campaign. I agree, discipline is really a problem particularly in the Philippines. Freddie Roach is proper and acted professionally but some Caucasian team members are acting asshole as well.

[Vivek1251]

I know exactly who that comment was pointed towards. hahaha. That was the same source of my point in the video where i said "perhaps Pacquiao is listening too much to the wrong camp members and not enough to the right ones".

[42Drifter]

PESSIMISM, Dude your state of mind which negatively colors the perception of MP life, and judgment especially with regard to this future fight, You also said Cotto might be cheated if the fight ended up 12- round, can you for once give Manny Pacquiao a credit, RE: Cotto's camp? what happened to Figueroa(sparring partner?) what happened to the former trainer? You are a Manipulator of Cloud and a Dream Twister. Your opinion is BIAS and One sided don't take it personally that's just my opinion.

[Vivek1251]

Listen, I write for 3 different websites, and if I'm given an angle to cover, I cover it. Where were you the other day when I wrote the article about his greatness, and the fact that what he has done is unprecedented in the sport? Somehow you miss that stuff, but you're there when it isn't something you want to hear. I have no problem with disagreement, but don't say im being negative when i basically spoke facts. The issues in Cotto's camps are very minor in comparison. be honest w/yourself.

[Vivek1251]

I cover both angles. It's never gonna be all good stuff or all bad stuff. Perhaps you want to be here for next weeks segment when I do the segment with the Filipino fight fan. Maybe I'll send you a tag for the good articles only and leave you out of the loop when it's hardcore reality since you can't seem to handle that. C'mon dude. Think about what i reported. I didnt make the stories, I reported them. Respect that.

[itzeyadig]

man i hope cotto whoops his ass!

[MeRuffus74]

I'm telling you Vivek, it's insane...some PacFan are just going insane. If anybody make a comment of any irregularities on Manny's camp or anything these people take it personal, they just worship Pacquiao, don't be surprise when the cursing start posting, and you just have a valid point. That's why I () what I said b4. This is the kind bs you get, imagine in what type of pressure Manny is?!! I want to clarify that you never said some of the thing I posted, it was just my interpretation

[42Drifter]

Here you go again Vivek talking Negative about MP or Pacquiao team then pretending you care, I have been Following your crap man and this will be the last time you hear from me.. name a perfect camp any sports? You making Manny Pacquiao a bad person because of Fame, Dead Wrong !

[Vivek1251]

Dude, say what you must. I have one question for you. WHERE DID I LIE??? All i did was point out specific points that may affect the outcome. Don't shoot the messenger. I have the utmost respect 4 Pacquiao, but don't think 4 a second that that means I won't point this kinda stuff out. I called Mayweather out and people swear I'm infatuated with him, so if I bare the truth on him, MP is no different. U said name a perfect camp? Cotto's is looking damn close. And u'd think it would be the opposite

[guiltygear100]

I'm filipino. I agree with all you said respect Roach one thing that I don't like is those politicians exploit the fame and popularity of pacquiao to convince him to be part of their political party for next year election.Never mind those ignorant Filipinos perceived all you said as negative or attack they are just narrow minded who easily upset for no good reason usual behavior of uneducated filipinos. But rich and educated filipinos don't do all these stupid comments bcoz they're decent.

[MeRuffus74]

I'm not saying that he's not getting ready to fight Cotto but there are so many people like you said "going alone for the free ride" that are using him. Freddy even he pisses me off sometime w/ some comments, he's genuin he really got a lot appreciation for Manny, hope Manny can open his eyes, like you said it will be sad if Manny and Roach split inthe near future they are a great team, I say this even that I'm going for Cotto!!! Cotto is ready and he will bring it!!! We'll see on Nov 14th.

[MeRuffus74]

Good vid!! I like the way you articulate subjects..well done!!! I don't know, but I don't think boxing is a priority for Manny anymore!!! Let me explain, this is my believe I could be wrong (I can c people getting all offended by this) but I think Manny really wants to get to politics & get to do other thing other than boxing. I think he's fighting for his countrymen, his team and Top Ranks but not for him. I thing he's been pushed to his limits. I just don't c it in his eyes like b4!!!!

[Vivek1251]

Thanks for the humbling words dude. I think you said something that's very monumental. You think my points are good? Well, I think you hit a few things that i didnt say but are equally effective. Two things actually. 1.) Pacquiao is definitely doing things for the wrong reason now days, and 2.) it's all in the eyes! He is somewhere else right now, mentally. I love the guy, but this type of path is where downfalls typically begin. I remember speaking to a Don King camp member about Tyson. Deja Vu

[gwapzerick09]

And guess what.. That's the game he will lose..

Heck do you know how rabid Philippine Politics are? They would do whatever it takes to bring you down..

Also.. If Manny can't even control his Camp.. How can he manage a seat in the congress..

If Manny wins the election in 2010.. I say he did a a lot of vote buying.. Cause if your smart enough.. You will not vote for Manny for Congress.

Manny Pacquiao belongs on a squared ring not in the House of Congress.

[bubuynaga]

nice vid, nice observation, keep it up man.

[Vivek1251]

Thank you for the kind words. I'll be lookin' out for you. Peace...

[gwapzerick09]

Very well pointed out Vivek.. Very well pointed out..

[Vivek1251]

Thanks for seein' the vision.

[guiltygear100]

I respect all you said. Just for clarification we don't treat Pacquiao like God we only admire him as boxing icon. All the things you hear and read it's exaggeration we know the boundary. With regards about his political plan we don't support it because he has no enough knowledge (education) and experience to become congressman that's the reason why he lost not because people don't want him to stop boxing.

[shogunatekamakura]

Dude well said and I totally agree with you, if Pacquiao keeps jerkin around and taking Roach for granted... then I wont be surprise if Pacquiao looses this fight.

[Vivek1251]

Thanks for the kind words. It's troubling because Pacquiao really has to get it together man. I can't believe that leading up to such a monumental fight he's letting these type of issues surface. Guys in the camp gettin into fist fight....WTF is that??? I would hate for him to lose b/c i don't want to see what's gonna happen to him afterwards. Hell, all those guys goin along for a free ride like Koncz would be in for a rude awakening.

[pincan07]

What I didn't like when Coach Fred was begging Manny to go to Manila and leave Baguio before another typhoon hit the city. It sucks when the politician was talking to manny and Roach had to interrupt to them for manny's success. why bother a guy who's in training for his BIGGEST fight(7th title fight), so stupid. but broh. the last News i saw before they left Philippines showed that Manny is ready. Ariza, said he can fight tomorrow!

[batangtondo]

Team pacquiao needs to go to manila to avoid another super typhoon that is towards baguio, their training camp location. That's why they need to move... Get your facts straight please....

[Vivek1251]

Im not sure who you're referring to but Team Pacquiao already left Manila and are currently in L.A. My point was that Pacquiao went to Manila b4 his team did for one day (which happened to be his designated day for rest) and it was a dangerous move that was uncoordinated. Bottomline, these type of things didnt happen b4, and the fact that they are now is what has many questioning things on a wide scale.

[mariodelmindo]

For those people that are not aware, Manny is in L.A.. Hopefully all the issue is over with. I hope Manny can keep his head straight. There can only be one boss and that's Manny. Whatever the result of this fight it's all on Manny. Great observation!

[gwapzerick09]

I heard the last day of training in Manila was a little disappointment too.. He was playing around, and he was soft toward his sparring partners..

I really hope they could get this straightened out..

Lock Down Wildcard Gym!!!

[NigzisBoh]

Nice Video Vivek!

Keep it up bro!

Cant wait for the fight!!!
