By Lou "Cinder" Block Manny Pacquiao's fame is vastly overrated. He is marketed as this crossover star by his promoter Bob Arum and HBO, but he isn't famous in America.

I don’t believe Manny Pacquiao eats more calories than Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler
By Lou Block Manny Pacquiao's strength and conditioning coach, Alex Ariza, the same guy who gives Manny a secret "Yellow Powder" after workouts, claims that 145 pound boxer Manny Pacquiao has to eat up to 7000 calories a day just to keep himself at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds. I am not a certified trainer or nutritionist, but common sense would suggest that if … [Read more...] about I don’t believe Manny Pacquiao eats more calories than Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler

Manny Pacquiao should be blamed not Floyd Mayweather
By Lou "Cinder" Block Let's get the facts straight...Floyd "Money" Mayweather isn't ducking Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. The truth of the matter is Manny Pacquiao and Bob Arum never agreed to "random drug testing without a cutoff date," instead, they agreed to a 14 day cutoff for the Olympic style drug testing, so, that is why the fight didn't get made. Manny still … [Read more...] about Manny Pacquiao should be blamed not Floyd Mayweather

Manny Pacquiao doesn’t deserve “Fighter of the Decade” award
