Arum: "It was, it remains stupidity. Manny is not giving away 25 pounds to this guy. Manny weighed 144 ½ pounds the day before the Margarito fight. So let's say Manny goes into the ring and weighs about 147-148 pounds while Martinez comes in weighing 175. Manny can have those kind of fights, sure, but not if you want him to stay around a while. Margarito hurt Manny in their fight"
First of all when in the hell has Martinez ever weighed 175 on fight night? The Most we have seen him weigh is 168 for a middle weight fight. Martinez used to come in weighing in weighing less than 165 when he fought at 154. Fuck this old fool some one needs to remind him that he needs to thank Martinez for vacating that title so he could get Pacquiao his fake ass 8th title and ad more shine to his shitty ass in-house fight.
Right? He could have just said Martinez is to big. Putting up over exaggerated false statistics just makes him look bad.
Absolutely agree about the fake ass title comment
What a joke, Margarito was a very dangerous opponent, so was Cotto!!
Anyone notice that Pacquiao has been fighting the fighters that Mayweather considered too dangerous to fight?
Note to Tim Bradley; If you want a fight with Pacquiao, you must first chase Mayweather into temporary retirement. But it has to be obvious he is ducking you. Then Pacquiao will sign to fight you.
I give Manny a pass at this point for not fighting Sergio. He just had his first fight at light middleweight and didn't even reach welterweight limit. Maybe in two more fights. Let's be realistic, he's not fighting above 147 in his next bout.
Martinez is too big for Pac. Let's get it on at 147 the Pacman would KO him....
Yea because Martinez would die if he made 147 pounds, not hard to beat up a dead man.
What promoter wouldnt after you achieve all the hurdles?
Go cry about it because your opinion doesnt matter to public just like mines.
Its all about money, you think they wouldnt take a shot at martinez if he can create 2million PPV buys- the only stupid i see here is you for being so naive
