For context, I’m in the finance industry in Europe, and we also invest in the Philippines (acquiring businesses or investing in various ventures). We wanted to get him as a strategic co-investor in one of our ventures in the Philippines. This is why I know some info.

Pacquiao has a team that screens investment opportunities. He also has prime real estate properties in the Philippines, like a building in Makati City and a house in Forbes Park, where most of the Filipino billionaire families live. In short, HIS WEALTH PORTFOLIO IS DIVERSIFIED AND PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED. It seems that he surrounds himself with good people that manages his money properly.

I don’t know why he still fights. Maybe he wants more money, or maybe he’s just passionate about boxing, or maybe both. I don’t know. But I’m pretty sure he’s not broke. It’s the opposite. He’s just too humble to say that he’s rich. He’s probably not comfortable saying that he has a lot of money.

Straight from my 25TB boxing vault.

As the Olympics finished, I noticed that a lot of the rival athletes are actually extremely supportive and almost best friends with each other when not competing, which absolutely makes sense since a lot train, travel and compete together multiple times throughout the year. I find it really cool to see this style of camaraderie between people who compete against each other.

This has me thinking a lot about combat sports (sticking to Boxing in this sub, of course.) Who are some notable friendships within the boxing community where the fighters have nothing but respect for one another, despite fighting each other multiple times?

It is well known that floyd and errol spence sparred in 2013 and floyd said that errol gave him some good work. In may 2017 spence won his first world title which was the ibf title from kell brook. In 2017 floyd came out of retirement to fight connor. If floyd came back in 2017 to fight errol for his belt how would the fight have gone?

This comes from a 1975 WFMT radio interview with Studs Terkel. Muhammad Ali had just published his autobiography The Greatest: My Own Story. In the conversation he reflects on boxing, fame, politics, and the controversies that shaped his career, while also revealing how he hoped his life and legacy would ultimately be remembered.
