To: Manny Pacquaio
I have worked in this sport of boxing for over 40 years and NEVER in those years have I seen a more disgraceful display of ingratitude and disloyalty than what I see plastered on this website! To get directly to the point, You, Manny Pacquiao are an ingrate and a back stabber who should never be allowed to fight in the United States again!
Three years ago, no one even knew who Manny Pacquiao was outside of the Philipines. No American promoter wanted anything to do with you because of the two knockout losses to Medgoen Singsurat and Rustico Torrecampo. NO ONE saw anything special in YOU. Then enter Murad Muhammad. You know that Mr. Muhammad was en route to the IBF Convention when he diverted from his trip to come see Rudolpho Nazario in San Francisco. He waited at that apartment for nine hours, when any other promoter would have most definitely left, but as you know, no other promoter wanted anything to do with you. At that meeting Murad Muhammad said he would make you a millionaire and staying true to his word, he has, but what would you know about keeping ones’ word? Muhammad kept his word to you, but now the entire world sees that Manny Pacquiao is not only disloyal to Mr. Muhammad, but disloyal to the very fiber that is American democracy!
Our country is in a political upheaval now because of foreigners like you who come into our country and make millions of American dollars, only to turn around and run with the money, criticizing America and its’ citizens all the way to the bank! This must stop! How dare you and your Filipino people blame Murad Muhammad for your blatant ignorance of how to handle your own money! Wake up Manny! It is totally ridiculous that Freddie Roach gets 10% of your purses! No trainer in America receives 10% of a fighters’ purse without being labeled a “crook”! The March 19 Pacquiao-Morales bout was totally negotiated by Murad Muhammad of M & M Spots, Incorporated, so what exactly did Shelly Finkel do to receive 25% of your 1.75 million dollar purse, because if he did do any negotiating with anyone pertaining to that fight, then he is guilty of tortious interference and Mr. Muhammad should waste no time in bringing him up on charges. How is it Murad Muhammads’ fault that the IRS got wise to Finkel and Roachs’ plan to hide money in yet “another American corporation” and demanded that you pay $524,000.00 upfront!
Attached to this e-mail you will find a letter which was released by my company to every boxing site on the internet. This letter and others like it are being released to the media in an crusade to stop you from trying to destroy the character and integrity of a man who has done absolutely nothing but help you!
Where is your conscience? How do you sleep at night knowing how you betrayed Rudolpho Nazario, the man you once called “father”? Nazario wanted to see you wealthy without having to compromise his honesty and integrity, but those are two words that you know nothing about. Our investigation has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that Rudolpho Nazario has never stolen a dime from you! You sit idly by while Mr. Nazario is accused of stealing $300,000, while in fact, $90,000 of that money is still in an account and the other $200,000.00 is money that you have borrowed from that account! You sit by and watch an innocent man be accused while you line you pockets with American dollars. Where is your loyalty to your countryman? This is a man who took you from nothing to a promoter who made you internationally known. We have also uncovered the fact that YOU lied to your past management and Freddie Roach when you told them that you only received $300,000 form the Barrera fight, when indeed you had received $540,000, but wanted to pocket the other $240,000, no doubt for your own selfish purposes, not wanting to pay those people who have stood by you and helped to build your career! “Flash” Elorde was a true boxing legend who unfortunately never received much acknowledgement outside of the Philipines, but to the Filipino people, he was a hero. His character was unflawed, as he was known for being a kind, generous man of his word, who represented the best of a nation.
What do you stand for Manny Pacquiao? What are you loyal to? You have always conducted yourself like a prostitute, running to the highest bidder. Selling yourself for the “Almighty Dollar”! But what you don’t realize, is that while you are out “whoring” around, Shelley Finkel and Freddie Roach are “raping you” with no lubrication! Where is the four million dollars you were promised to sign with Finkel?
There is an old con game in which a man peeks his head through an open window of a home and tells the occupants of the house that he has a unopened brand new television, still in the box for sale. The man tells the homeowners that the television is worth $300, but he will sell it for $50 because he is in a bind. Sure, that they have gotten a great deal, the homeowners give the man the $50 and tell him to leave the television outside the door. He obliges and leaves the box at the door. As soon as the man is out of sight, the homeowners rush out to retrieve the box and set up their new television. When they open the box, the only thing inside is a large boulder! That appears to be what has happened to you! Shelly Finkel promised you the world, with three or four million dollars to boot, just to get you to sign your name on that contract giving him 25% of your 1.75 million dollar purse and you fell for it!
You were in such a hurry to “screw over” the very man that has helped you, Murad Muahmmad, that you paid no mind to the fact that Finkel and Roach were robbing you blind! Now you want to come back and try to sue Murad Muhammad for your ignorant mistake? Where is the documentation that shows Murad Murad “stole” anything from you? According to public record, Murad Muhammad has done nothing but help you in every way possible to advance in your career. Example, for the Pacquiao-Marquez bout, Muhammad was given 1.8 million dollars. Records show that Muhammad paid Bob Arum/Top Rank $900,000 and $900,00 went to YOU, so please do the math: $900,000 + $900,000 = $1.8 million! So where is the theft? Where is the documentation showing that Murad Muhammad made one dime off that fight?
Now you want to sue, sue for what? The only reason you want to sue Murad Muhammad is because of your insatiable appetite for the love and greed of money. Finkel and Roach screwed you so now you want to try to degrade the character of the very man who made you what you are! Well, Mr. Pacquiao, that does not and will not work in our American society. You, Finkel and Roach are to blame for your loss. No one else.
Erik Morales beat you. It had nothing to do with the gloves. He beat you. It was not a controversial decision, he was a better man in the ring that night and showing excellent sportsmanship, he is a better man than you are out of the ring. Your behavior on the other hand is that of a coward, who should be back in the Philipines fighting for pesos rather than American dollars.
For the Filipino people to support their sons’ cowardly acts of backstabbing and lying is an outrage! You were dirt poor with nothing when Murad Muhammad put money, not only in your pocket, but food in your familys’ mouth! How can your mother go from embracing Murad Muhammad openly and affectionately, praising this man for saving her sons’ life, to calling him a “thief”? Why do you not stand up and defend this man who has eloquently guided your career?
You did the same thing in the Marquez fight, you, yourself made false accusations, and Murad Muhammad/M & M Sports, Incorporated opened up their books to show that you and Freddie Roach were liars. In any culture or society of people, you do not reward kindness and loyalty with ingratitude and betrayal. Shame on you, Manny Pacquiao, and shame on the Filipino people for supporting your acts of treachery, but not all is lost on your deceit because we are going to boycott your each and every fight on American soil.
Whenever, wherever you fight, you can guarantee our voices will be raised in protest of you receiving one, red American cent! Your constant whining in the aftermath of the Morales fight is behavior unfit for a man who is called the “Peoples’ Champion”! What people? What do you stand for when you attack the very man that gave you fame? Fame that had eluded you until Murad Muhammad saw something in you, believed in you and made you a name in this boxing business! How did you return the favor? By trying to defame his character, scandalizing his name and telling blatant lies. It is only my deepest hope that Murad Muhammad takes the recommendation of this panel by pursuing every legal avenue available to stop you, Roach, Finkel and whoever else is involved in this conspiracy. Your deceitfulness and cowardice can no longer be rewarded with American dollars. You are no hero, Manny Pacquiao, you are a zero. Zero integrity, zero loyalty, zero friend.
