Journey with me to Absurdity, a place where boxers are not concerned so much with their total purse as with their humungous egos and what ?bragging rights? they can earn in a fight against a particular opponent.
So, just for laughs and giggles, stay with me and accept, for a nanonsecond, that Manny Pacquaio could stuff his pockets with $20 million to fight Oscar De La Hoya OR Humberto Soto.
Herewith my Megamanny Bragging Rights which could garnered against, first Legend Oscar and second, against the much more ordinary Senor Soto.
MANNY?S BRAGGING RIGHTS FROM OSCAR:
Yeah, I lost to Goliath but I went 12 mainly competitive rounds. Yeah, I lost but I used my slingshot to put Oscar on his backside once. Yeah, I got robbed of a rightful decision but Golden Boys have golden ?juice? in Las Vegas. I beat, lost to or drew with a sure-fire Hall Of Famer. Yeah, I lost but I left Oskie looking worse than Mayweather and Forbes ever did.
MANNY?S BRAGGING RIGHTS FROM HUMBERTO:
1. I know he lost nine out of 12 rounds to Joan Guzman but I only let him win two rounds.
2. I avenged my brudda Bob Pac?s KO loss to this cat but I don?t have time to fight all the other cats Bob Pac has been thrashed by.
3. Is it my fault Mexico ran out of boxing legends for me to conquer? Don?t answer that, smartass.
4. As soon as Bob Arum becomes Guzman?s co-promoter, I?ll fight him also.
5. Looking at the TV numbers, I?d call this one pay per few.
