The real truth behind the Michael Marley / Timothy Sladeck war of words. Who is REALLY behind this online rivalry and what is their motive? The center of the self-contained Pacland universe, of course, is Manny Pacquiao. Around the Filipino Phenom, though, is an ever-growing mish-mosh of dim-wits, leeches, criminals, and thugs who, when not busy feasting on Manny’s generosity and need for reverence, do their best to muscle other hangers-on and yes men out of the picture. Pacquiao’s decision to bring in an outside firm to review the business structure of his empire has sent a shock wave through this group of modern day carpetbaggers, all the way from the closest confidantes in the inner circle, right through to the pandering, penny-click pilot fish in the media (branded, by yours truly, as the Pacquiao Press Corps) who have based their lives and livelihoods on writing pure publicist pap about Pacquiao for his adoring, loyal fan base.
Most recently, the internal tug of war in Team Pacquiao has spilled over into the land of the Pacquiao Press Corps, with a Bob Arum/Michael Koncz contingent going on the offensive against the apparent new guard of Pacquiao confidantes.
In recent days, Timothy “James” Sladeck of Pacquiao’s official website, MPboxing.com (AKA mp8.ph), has come under attack from veteran trend-hoping scribe, Michael Marley, who penned a scathing Examiner.com article, chronicling Sladeck’s criminal past and alleged attempts to leverage his relationship with Pacquiao into several money-making ventures.
