Anyway, he is still winning money regardless of the result. I will just watch this fight in the sideline and avoid betting.

Just place a small bet, man, it’ll make watching the fight more exciting. After seeing his training, I’d say he really has a shot at pulling off an upset. I mean, we’re talking about the only 8-division world champion in history. That resume alone should be enough to convince us that his comeback is legit.

If that’s the reason people find betting on him attractive, then I’m not really buying into it. I mean, when Pacman fought Ugas, he was still active, still held a title  and he still lost. Now he's coming back after years of being out of the ring, trying to challenge a younger champion who already beat the guy that beat him. I just don’t see the math adding up there.

But of course, we all have our own takes. At the end of the day, it’s about confidence in our pick. And I still believe Pacman won’t go down easily as he's not the type to fold just like that.

I'm not that confident either, which is why I suggested just placing a small bet. We all have different takes when it comes to analyzing a fight, and there's nothing wrong with believing that Manny can pull off an upset. After all, this is boxing, there’s no such thing as a guaranteed win unless someone intentionally throws the fight, and Manny is not that kind of fighter.

He knows exactly what’s at stake here. A win would open up more opportunities for him, possibly more million-dollar fights.
That’s enough motivation for him to go all out.
