Comments Thread For: Martinez Rematch Downed, Margarito on Hold For Pacquiao

[LeadUppercut]

I think he's far too good a promoter and negotiator to "show his true intentions" to the "band-wagon-jumping" fight fans. I believe that this is a message to Mayweather to "shut up and put up" or else bugger off quickly.

I've always believed that Arum, who wants to do the best for his fighters, also wants the best for boxing patrons. How do you all think he became the world's best promoter. Not because everybody loves him, obviously.

I believe that Bob Arum wants the best for Bob Arum.

to make it an even fight they should let Margo fight the untested Manny with his plaster.

Turning down a rematch with Martinez? Margo is going to wait around? A guy that just fought after being on idle for so long and hasn't done anything to get a high profile fight. This is what is wrong with Top Rank and Arum, they only see dollars.

It's not a suprise to me.

Arum likes to keep all the money in house and enhance HIS fighters.

Pacquiao and Margarito are both promoted by Arum

Pacquiao-Margarito is a ****ing disgrace. No other way to describe it. I love watching the Pacman but I won't bother with this piece of **** fight.

They're trying to pretend the wraps scandal meant nothing. That you can break the rules of boxing and criminal law, and if marketed right, the ****** mug punters will forget about it, lay out the hard-earned and salvage the career of the man who should never be allowed to fight professionally again.

The 17,000 idiots who showed up to the comeback fight illustrate the point.

So Bobby has Marg on stand by.


Winky vs. Martinez?? Might be interesting.

man i am caught between two of my favorites fighters in sergio martinez and antonio margarito and my question is this..what has antonio margarito done to deserve the martinez rematch ? i mean sure the tijuana tornando is an all action pressure type of fighter but sergio martinez is on a roll right now and after the close call with regards to the paul williams fight and the huge upset over kelly pavlik..i think lou dibella or whoever is martinez managers are are making bad choices right now with their options especially when i hear opponents name tossed around like winky wright...god please no why would anyone fight winky wright for ? he got beat the punisher paul williams and is already been inactive for so long and the risks dont even come close to matching the reward if there is such a thing when facing wright!!! i think sergio martinez's best bet is the rematch with paul williams at 160 and if he should beat williams maybe he can fight the winner of the manny pacquaio-floyd mayweather fight if that fight does go through at 154!!!

Not surprised. Pac-Margarito is Arum's ace in the hole as long as Floyd is still on about the tests. Martinez-Margarito would be good if it happened though. Sergio sons his ass if they ever do rematch. If that fight's out and Martinez ain't quick to rematch Williams, I hadn't thought about Winky stepping in. I thought he was retiring, but I wouldn't mind seeing him get 1 last shot before he leaves boxing.

Just STFU already. Stop bitchin. Martinez is trying to avenge a defeat, one fight at a time, give him a goddamn break for god's sake. Martinez even said himself that the Margarito loss was the only "real" loss on his record, every other loss (or draw against Cintron) is questionable. Just shut your trap & think before you post. Opinions like yours annoy the **** out of me.

If he really thought he got robbed in the Williams fight he should be trying to make that one next instead of fighting a known cheater who shouldn't even be allowed to ever fight again. I can't fault him for a second if he gets a fight with Floyd, but if he fights Margacheto I will lose a lot of respect for him. No self respecting fighter should ever step in the ring with that cheater again.
