Lessons I Learned From Manny Pacquiao And Floyd Mayweather's Fight By Davis King by Bexson: 6:47am On May 04, 2015
1. Choose your fights wisely. Manny has been asking for this fight for 5 years now but Floyd kept turning it down because he was studying his style. Manny has fought 57 matches in this category and lost or drew 5 of them. Floyd has fought 48 matches (the recent epic fight inclusive) in this category and won all. That's because he chooses his fights wisely.

Life's lesson: don't be everywhere doing everything. Be tactful. Prepare well and give it a go when you are ready. Don't hustle, strategize instead. Don't beat the air, study to show yourself approved.


2. Do what matters. Floyd threw very few punches but they were clean punches that hit the right points. Manny was busy throwing plenty many punches. I watched that closely.

Life's lesson: Don't just get busy, get busy doing what counts. Success in life is not about activities, it is about doing what is required.


3. Don't be in a hurry to succeed. When you meet a tough challenge, be determined to overcome it and concentrate throughout. Manny is a tough hustler throwing plenty punches from first round. Floyd, from time is known to use his first 9 rounds to study his opponent and the last 3 to finish that opponent. This was exactly what played out again.

Life's lesson: to succeed, you need to take your time. There's no prize for being the youngest achiever. Professor at 32 years of age and professor at 67 years of age are both professors.


4. God is not partial. He gives success to the best person either you are arrogant or not, either you profess Jesus or not. Floyd is arrogant but he's an excellent boxer. Pac is humble, evangelizes from the ring and professes Jesus countless times but that wasn't enough to win. It wasn't a fight of Jesus against the devil, its just a sport competition between two humans. Dangote is the richest man in Africa, he's not a christian but he's good at his business.

Life's lesson: being a christian doesn't mean God will circumvent and disregard natural laws of success for you to be the best. Being the best is a personal effort, God's part is to crown your efforts and make it easier for you.


5. Don't respond to critics, just do your thing! Don't worry if people don't like your style, just continue to succeed. That's all that matters anyway. A lot of people didn't support Mayweather because he's arrogant but he didn't let it bother him. Even when he raised his hands as winner, he didn't get the desired accolades. Manny on the other hand is loved by all because he's humble but that didn't translate to winning the match.

Life's lesson: Do your thing, either you win or lose people will talk anyways, so why don't you just win and let them talk? Critics don't amount to anything in life, ignore them.
Have a blessed week!!
By the way, feel free to add yours!

This is where you got it all wrong. A professor at 32 and a professor at 67 may both be professors - but don't belong to the same category of mentality, hardwork, and thinking. Life doesn't stop at one achievement. Over time, the scope of influence is going to be discriminately different.

Quick rhetorical question " the man who became professor at 32, where do you think he would be at 67 ?

There may not be a visible prize for achieving at a young age. But there's certainly a prize that people can't see. Each achievement is a stepping stone for the next. The earlier, the better.

Advice is right on point, but let's not take anything from Pacman.

Btw, Op I would prefer to be a professor at 32 than to be one at 67.

Mark Zuckerberg was a billionaire at 24 and we have some billionaires at 70. Op which will you prefer ?

That aside, I noticed most whites wanted Manny to win while most blacks wanted Floyd Money.

What you said is true, meanwhile when somebody fail to reach to your expectation one need not to say he will not be his or her fan again, because it cant continue like that, there is time for every thing, the era of manny wining in every game is over another person need to shine too, thats what happen to man united, they enjoyed and controled the long chain of championship until recently, and there is no amount of players they will buy or skills they play that will make them reach to that extent again because other teams have learn more skills and tactis too.
