Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Trainer: 90% that its Abu Dhabi, with Margarito

[Guest]

If a boxing match becomes acceptable to you based on what country the boxing ring is situated in, then yes, you are a loser. We can discuss this over beers at the nearest pub if you want.

It's interesting anyways for me even if it's held at the UIC Pavillon.

But **** like this, just like the Thrilla in Manilla or the Rumble in the Jungle in a foreign atmosphere makes it historic.


Where you stay in the CHI?

Why in the world would that be for a vacant title?

[PeterinMI]

it makes no difference to me im not gonna watch dat meaningless fight.

I agree. This is the one opponent that PAC could have fought that I won't watch. Oh well. Apparently I am not the target market.

WOW!

Now Nonoy is being quoted for these ****? No disrespect but the guy's way below the Pacquiao team hierarchy.

Damn I thought Koncz was enough.

Lots of big events go down there. But why Abu Dhabi and not Dubai? Dubai seems to be a smarter choice seeing that it is a bigger and richer city. Also there are lots of events to attend there. Dubai is probably the livest city in the world with all the stuff that goes on there.

What I am saying is that the Filipinos there are not like the ones in the west. Those ones are for the most part Filipinos that grew up and lived their whole lives in the Filipines and are on temporary work visas carrying out short term low paying jobs. Most of the construction workers over there are Pakistanis, Indians, Filipinos, and people from ****ledesh.

Clearly you don't know what you're talking about on the bolded part.
Dubai is all hype dude! Abu Dhabi is Dubai's daddy and that is a fact!

Filipinos in the construction business are not laborers too also in case you didn't know which i'm sure you don't as you did not even know about Abu Dhabi.

But i agree with you though that it's much better to hold it in Dubai as Abu Dhabi is too conservative in its ways.

Margarito KOing Pacman is the best outcome.

When 8CountNews got Floyd Mayweather Sr on the record some weeks back, he told us that he was not aware of any negotiations that were taking place. At the time he said this I honestly didn't believe what he said was entirely true. Perhaps I was wrong? 8CountNews has been reporting throughout this whole ordeal that this fight was not, and still is not a done deal. The bottom line is this, someone is lying as it pertains to the negotiations. Arum says that negotiations have been taking place, and the Mayweather side are saying that there has been no negotiations.

Mayweather is a smart guy, and he knows exactly what he is doing. No deadline will speed up the process. Mayweather will sign when it makes sense to. Right now his uncle, and trainer is staring at some jail time. Taxes are another issue, Floyd isn't interested in paying taxes on 40 million dollars in 2010. Most people do believe that this fight will happen, but more than likely not until early 2011.

Arum is now looking at matching up Pacquiao with either Miguel Cotto in a rematch, or with Antonio Margarito. Most people do not feel as if Margarito deserves a shot at Pacquiao, nor does he deserve to fight period. Neither Cotto, or Margarito really excite the boxing fans. A Cotto rematch will probably just be a replay of the first beat down.

Mayweather has been shooting hoops with a youth basketball league, and enjoying some down time with his family. He doesn't sweat deadlines. Floyd knows that he is a huge draw, and he knows that Arum needs him.

The fans have been the recipients of all kinds of wack information on this fight. Done deal headlines, fight is on, fight is off, fight is on again, fight is off again etc.... Headlines with no sources, followed by a bunch of back peddling and spinning, and trumped up garbage to make it look as if people really know what is going on, when in truth they are clueless. The whole ordeal has been one big circus act.

The truth is, not many people really know what the hell is going on. Some publications are rolling the dice as if trying to hit the lottery and putting up juicy headlines. These headlines are designed to gravitate boxing fans, primarily Pacquiao fans, to that in particular site. The truth is that most of them have no idea what is going on no matter how hard they try to portray that they do.

As I said before, when you see the press conference and a smiling Bob Arum waiving a Filipino flag and an American flag A.K.A. Dong King style, then we have a fight on our hands. Until you see something like that, don't believe the hype.
