Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Margarito/Cotto in Play For Mexico, Middle East

[elliot.chapman]

Would rather watch an old ladies house burn down.

[any craic lad?]

Its different but to be fair the way they throw around money in the middle east its was always going to be the case off them bringing big money fights there

[King Ju-Ju]

100% agree.. Or even in the Garden MSG on Cotto turf..

it should be in the garden. cotto went out 2 vegas for the 1st fight. im saying lets go to mexico bcuz this bum margarito aint gonna be able 2 fight here in the usa.

[norrin]

let me play devil's advocate Larry

say July 19th comes and goes without an agreement

Bob turns around and says "we have a deal in place, November 13th, Manny will fight the Teeajuana Tornadah Antonia Margarito"

do you want to be the state that turns down a Manny Pacquiao fight?

look I can debate against Manny's side all day but one thing that is not debatable is his drawing and earning power

do you want to be that state?

First, I think if NSAC license Magarito or the fight, it is setting a dangerous precedent for all of the other state commissions by saying we will not abide by your decision. It would be preferential for Margarito to attempt to get his license back in California before he approaches any other commission that is one of the reasons he couldn't get his license in Texas.

If Pac is going to fight in the Middle East the time difference is going to kill the ppv in the states. It is like a 10 to 12 hour time difference so unless they fight at 9 to 10 am in the morning in Iran it will be a really tough sell in the US.

See that is their damn problem right there. Who is Arum to give Floyd deadlines?

side #2 to the equation of the biggest fight we have seen in quite some time.

thats who

They ain't make no dough compared to Floyd's last fight.

and Floyd cannot make that type of money either

They should be more humble,

like Floyd?

Floyd needs to fight PW, Martinez, Bradley, any legacy fight and allow Pac to flounder with top rank tomato cans. Arum is going to run out of top rank peons soon to feed to Manny.

you honestly think Floyd fights PW or Bradley?

be real at least

[Eaner0919]

Hey E lets say that does happen
Why wouldnt Manny get any **** for not negotiating any further
It gets to me how Arum puts an old offer on the table and expects Floydie to agree
I cant see how anyone fan or not can not give pac and his people **** for giving a deadline
To me its like they dont want the fight either and already have margs lined up

to me its two big egos not coming off of their stances making this fight not happen

and when I mean egos I am not talking about Manny and Floyd

I am talking about Bob and Al

First, I think if NSAC license Magarito or the fight, it is setting a dangerous precedent for all of the other state commissions by saying we will not abide by your decision.

1. it is kind of hard to go back and ask for a license in a state where a) your promoter has no desire to to business in b) a state you are suing c) a state where you have been told you will not get a fair shake from people within CSAC?

2. NSAC could care less what CSAC thinks of them and vice versa. Like I said if it meant not having a Manny fight the pressure would be on NSAC to make it happen from the casinos

It would be preferential for Margarito to attempt to get his license back in California before he approaches any other commission that is one of the reasons he couldn't get his license in Texas.

I agree but from who I have talked to he may not get a fair chance to state his case

If Pac is going to fight in the Middle East the time difference is going to kill the ppv in the states. It is like a 10 to 12 hour time difference so unless they fight at 9 to 10 am in the morning in Iran it will be a really tough sell in the US.

thats why I called BS

If this fight happens it will turn off a lot of die hard boxing fans. Most of us true boxing fans feel that Pac should fight someone legit. For him to go to another country to fight someone who lost his license in the US, while there are so many other fighters here he can face besides Floyd, will surely tarnish what little credibility he has here with real boxing fans. The Pac lunatics won't see anything wrong with this fight because they're not able to be objective about the game of boxing when it comes to Quackaoiu.

I didn't misspell that, I called him that because he's ducking all of the legit fighters here to go fight someone overseas who got demolished two fights ago and looked liked **** in his last fight. Quack's pattern is to fight people who have been damaged. This is his pattern:

Oscar- lost to Floyd, Oscar beat Forbes
Hatton- lost to Floyd,Hatton beat Lazcano and Paulie
Cotto- demolished by Marg, Cotto beat Jennings and Clottey
Clottey- lost to Cotto

Notice the pattern of always fighting someone who has recently lost? Now he wants to fight Margarito who was demolished by Shane then goes on to beat Garcia. Why not fight somebody legit, like Berto, Alexander, Bradley or Pwill?

For those of you Quacktards who will say those fighters don't bring any PPV numbers, a fighter doesn't build a legacy by PPV numbers, he builds it by fighting the best opponents available. Open your eyes Pac lunatics, this guy is a fraud.

[flint]

pure garbage. arum is trying to pressure mayweather into signing a bull**** contract but it won't work.go ahead and fight margy out there in the middle east. a suicide bomber will definitely want to meet margacheato and end his cheating career.

Bob Arum is the most disrespectful human being on the face of this ***ing planet. The lack of disrespect he shows Miguel is mind boggling and a can't wait for Miguels contract to expire so he can leave just like Mayweather. Miguel fight the cheater in Mexico, are you ***ing with me???!??!?!? Miguel is your number 2 draw, yet Arum talks down on him and never shows compassion or treats Miguel as that draw. Tony is the one that got caught, not Miguel, how could you ever even consider making him fight down there, make the cheater prove himself in PR. Why the hell would you give him an advantage and make a man that has done nothing but good for your company fight in such a dangerous situation? How dare this *** face ever show his face around me I swear to god if I had a gun I'd blow his head right off. He grovels to the cheater and treats the most upstanding man in the sport like garbage and we know why he does this, it's because Miguel is established and he wants his cheater friend to get more pub so he can line his pockets some more but enoughs enough. Miguel deserves more respect and this is crossing the line.
