Time isn't on Manny's side he cant just jump into another camp and prepare for Spence again he needs to rest. By then he'll be 43YO no that's done. Now instead of Manny beating Spence which IMO he would have those belts stay comfortably in PBC'S hands. Now Spence will have a speedy "recovery" and be back just in time to take on Ugas how convenient.
That’s not how BUSINESS is done….
Pacquaio did 400-500k PPVs vs broner
Pacquaio did 600-700k PPVs vs thurman
This ppv probably did 400-500k
Pbc is in business to make money and Pacquaio is a money maker. Ugas can’t even sell out a 5000 seat arena (no disrespect to him). If Pac continues to fight on it will likely be on pbc, so there is plenty of incentive for pbc to want Pacquaio to win. If you want to blame someone for the short notice switch, blame Pacquiaos team. This fight didn’t have to happen, they accepted it because they thought ugas would be an easy opponent because he was hurt against Ramos 2 times earlier in the pandemic.
Edit: you have to understand that only people on message boards and twitter spread stupid rumors about promoters like that. Pbc, top rank, dazn and golden boy only objectives are to make money. Their many objectives lie in whatever will make them the most money. Setting up Pacquaio to lose to ugas doesn’t make pbc more money, it hurts them if we’re being honest.
If pbc wanted to rig things in general, they would have rigged it for Pac to win so they can get more PPVs out of him.
