Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs Margarito is Still on The Schedule, Says Arum

[brick wall]

easy mother****ers, arums is just posturing. marg's just a standby replacement just in case pac-floyd negotiation part 2 will be a failure again.

[Fistic]

Earlier this week, Freddie Roach, trainer of WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, told BoxingScene.com that undefeated lightweight/junior welterweight Edwin Valero was the best marketable option for Pacquiao in the month of November. [Click Here To Read More]

If Bob Arum is so adamant about following the sanctioning body's policy in regards to the drug testing for Pac-Mayweather-- then why doesn't he respect the athletic commissions' current ban on Margarito and not give Margarito this opportunity anywhere else? Rhetorical ? He is contradicting himself and In that case, why not push for a fight in Mexico, but for Pac and Mayweather-- maybe down there the athletic commissions would gladly implement the USADA style of testing for a fight of that magnitude. And it will make 10 fold what a fight with Margarito would make. Arums thinking is flawed. Just saying...

PEDs vs. Plaster of Paris GTFO

I agree!!

**** Arum..




Mayweather or Mosley .. or retire..

[millcitymauler]

Arum gonna keep all that money.

[Fiasco]

LOL, only natural for Pacquiao to fight another underserving/past prime fighter. It's just what he does.

[Iceta Lives]

Arum is such a little schmuck. He even admitted that having a bigger fan base over being a better fighter means you deserve a shot at Pac more. Margarito needs to fight a rematch with Shane Mosley even if he loses to Floyd and beat Mosley. Until he does that, he's irrelevant as can be.

[mrjoeblive]

Berto is a joke, Bradley is a decent fight, Mayweather and Mosley are fighting each other and have unreasonable drug testing demands and Williams and Martinez are not WW's.

Valero and Margarito are the best options.


Margarito deserves this fight to make up for all the lies, distortions and damages he has taken for being unfairly suspended for 1 year.

The universe is smiling down on him with justice.

just curious roy, in your opinion why do you perceive drug testing by the usada to be unreasonable?

[AmadeusSharp]

Arum is out of touch with reality. Nobody cared to see Pacquiao vs. Clottey and he shoved it down our throats. Many fans would love to pay for Pacquiao vs. Valero over any other fight in the sport. Arum is nuts. Valero is very marketable and an exciting fighter but Arum is full of ****e.

[Iceta Lives]

And I honestly think Valero might be a tougher fight for Pac than Margarito is.
