Manny Pacquiao's Advisor Michael Koncz Says Pac Man Has Become A Bigger Name Than Muhammad Ali In His Prime. Is He Right? Is Ali Still The Greatest? [Video + Poll]

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on December 8, 2010 at 10:00am

Video After The Jump Boxing fans love to debate which fighter is the greatest of all time. In such debates, people generally up end going old school vs new school. For most though, Muhammad Ali has been considered the greatest and most well known boxer of all time. Manny Pacquiao's advisor Michael Koncz doesn't think that is the case anymore. At least not when it comes to popularity. He tells reporter Elie Seckbach that Pac Man is now the biggest name boxing has ever seen. "I think it's all the things we've been doing. 60 Minutes programs, you know - 24-7 again. It's put him into that category of a rock star," Koncz said "I think he's one of the most popular boxers ever, even more than Ali. You gotta remember Muhammad Ali, and he was my favorite boxer. He never became world wide famous until the draft issue, it wasn't because of his boxing. [Ali was convicted for refusing induction into the military]. And I think that's what's happening to Manny too. Like I said with 60 Minutes, the Dateline show that we did, the Jimmy Kimmel show that we did twice. We're taking him out of the boxing circle and putting him into the household." Koncz makes some interesting points, but Ali became worldwide famous without the internet, pay-per-view, Showtime and HBO. I think that's a really hard comparison to make. In other Pacquiao news, it's looking more and more likely that his next opponent will be either Sugar Shane Mosely or Andre Berto. Juan Manuel Marquez was also in the running, but promotor Bob Arum said his asking price was way too high. “Marquez's proposal was so out of line for anything that he got before… I don't think Manny is going to pay any attention to it,” Arum said in an interview with FanHouse.com On the possibility of Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Pacquiao, it doesn't look like that fight will happen until at least the end of 2011, if at all. Oscar De La Hoya of Floyd's promotion team Golden Boy is accusing Arum of ducking his fighter. Arum is calling bullsh*t on that accusation. "That's totally nonsense because you can argue over the first situation, the first go around. They had one position, we had another. But on the second go around we gave in to every one of their positions. We were so anxious to make the fight and Mayweather didn't want to fight," Arum said "And even today we will do the fight unconditionally, unconditionally! And all Mayweather has to do is say ('yes') he wants the fight." So our poll for today is, who is the greatest fighter of all time? Use whatever criteria you want to - popularity, pay-per-view buys etc But the most important thing in determining the greatest is boxing skills.

NBA Star Ron Artest Talks Boxing & Has A Message For Manny Pacquiao. Says He's Running From President & Everybody Will Have To Wear "What's Poppin" T-Shirts LOL [2 Videos]

Video After The Jump

Reporter Elie Seckbach always has good interviews and gets information that isn't generally known to the public.

In his interview with Ron Artest, he revealed that Manny Pacquia's trainer, Freddie Roach speaks highly of the NBA star's boxing skills and that Ron trains regularly.

Ron Ron talked about his dreams of one day getting in the ring.

"I would love to be trained by Freddie Roach, coming under Manny Pacquiao and maybe having a fight. Somebody on my level, not that much better, I don't wanna get knocked out cold."

Somehow I can't imagine anybody knocking Ron out. He also talked about Don King possibly stepping in to replace Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, to negotiate on Floyd Mayweather Jr's behalf for the Pacquiao fight.

"When I first heard of that fight I thought Don King, I said Don King should promote Mayweather instead of Oscar because Don King has that loud voicde and he always talks a lot of trash. All the funny vocabulary words. Everybody and their mama knows Don King is gonna say something crazy."

Ron is really a funny dude, he says he's running for President in the next election against Barack Obama. Ron says that instead of debates he's gonna get at Barack with some bars rhyming. And everybody will have to where t-shirts with the words "What's Popppin" in the from including the Secretary Of Defense".

Ron had a message for Manny at the end of the first video peep game and hear what it was,

Manny Pacquiao Ready To Fight Floyd Mayweather Jr In November. Don King May Be Stepping In To Negotiate For Floyd Since Golden Boy Promotions Has Failed To Make It Happen.

Posted by ChasinDatPaper on August 7, 2010 at 6:00pm

For some strange reason, a fight that stands to earn Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr a reported $30 million dollars apiece has not yet been made.

Negotiations have twice stalled. Well, according to Mayweather's camp there was never a second negotiation while Pacquiao's camp insists there was.

Initially, the fight couldn't be made because Mayweather insisted on Olympic style drug testing. The sticking point came down to how close to the fight, the blood testing would cease.

Unable to agree, both fighters moved on to other opponents. Pac Man easily beat Joshua Clottey while Mayweather disposed of Sugar Shane Mosely.

Now it starting to look like Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Mayweather is having trouble negotiating with Bob Arum, who is Pacquiao's promoter.

Out of nowhere, an unlikely name has popped up, and it just might be the best thing for all involved except for Golden Boy. Veteran promoter Don King has been cozying up to Mayweather.

According to ESPN, Floyd recently spent some time with King while in Florida looking for a new crib.

"I love Floyd. Floyd's my man," said King. "He'll get the soup to nuts treatment [if he signs]. He was down there with me for a week in Florida. He's buyin' him a nice place down there. And so it's no downside with me with Floyd because the people that have him, they gonna give him more money to keep him away from me if he stays with them. If he comes with me, he'll have a whole new vista, a whole new arena that he can play on. I can get more money than anyone out there. They can't stop that."

King is 100% sure he can make this fight happen right away.

"Me and Bob would get that fight done in two shakes of a lamb's tail," King said. "If I was there working with Bob Arum, this fight would have been history. It'd be ready now and we'd be talking about how we gonna promote. It wouldn't be nothing put a piece of cake. But even then it would be so much bigger that what it would be if he were to make with Golden Boy or Al [Haymon]. They cannot make the fight as big as Arum and I can make it. They are not in the class of a Bob Arum."

This is great news to Pacquiao, who has grown tired of waiting for the fight to happen. He is ready to take the blood tests and lace the gloves up now. He is even willing to push aside his fight with Antonio Margarito to make it happen as early as November 13 according to BoxingScene.com.

"I hope Mayweather is serious enough in doing business with Don King and is not doing this only to save face. I hope Don King does the same in return, that he can make miracles happen. I say this to both these men: Let's Get It On. Fight like warriors and brave men," Pacquiao said.

"I am the champion, I have the belts and I should not be the one challenging you. I should not even be the one trying to make this fight happen. But Pacquiao vs Mayweather is what everyone wants, that's why I am calling out your names. My promoter Bob Arum will be waiting for your call and will be very glad to hear what you have to say. The sooner, the better..."

Now that's what every fight fan wants to hear, now let's get it!
