[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Thomas Gerbasi - They might be boxing's oddest couple, Manny Pacquiao and Sean Gibbons, formally the Senator and the President. Not that Gibbons is pulling rank on the future Hall of Famer...

Those two are more like a wine bottle and a corkscrew.

Nice to read Gibbons' story. Wonderful really.

“I've always been cool and humble, a few people - the FBI and a few other people – have tried to drag me down”

Wait, what?

Boxing really on its last legs in the US. I grew up in Sacramento. I remember there being fights pretty frequently at the local VFW and sometimes at Memorial Auditorium. It was weirdly wholesome. That's not true at all anymore. MMA is sort of replacing it, but there's fewer shows and it's more bro-y.

Gibbons always a class act, the people he mentioned were like encyclopedias of boxing including Lou!!! I’m glad he’s up where he is!!!!! Viva Puertorricoooo!!!

Sanluisjerzy 'Wait, what?'

Well,

'Gibbons had a good run at Top Rank until he was let go in 2004 on the heels of the FBI’s Operation Match Book probe, which focused on alleged fight fixing. There were similar allegations made in Oklahoma, yet Gibbons wasn’t charged with any criminal wrongdoing in either case and he landed on his feet with Sycuan Ringside Promotions, where he stayed for five years.'

Man is innocent until proved guilty & he wasn't charged. Top rank just 'let him go'

Gibbons is a wholesome fella relative to the other infamous characters in boxing
