Will You Boycott Manny Pacquiao vs Antonio Margarito?

[BoxCleva]

On a radio show recently a caller said that if Pacquiao vs Margarito gets made, they'd deliberately avoid watching the bout because of Margarito's thwarted attempts to use loaded gloves against Shane Mosley. As a result of being caught, Margarito was temporarily suspended from the sport of boxing and speculation grew concerning how many of his previous fights had he got away with cheating.

Many believe that Margarito cheated against Cotto due to the manner in which the fight unfolded and Cotto's facial condition after the fight. Although he still remains suspended in the United States, the proposed Pacquiao vs Margarito fight would apparently be in a different location, thereby circumnavigating the suspension.

If Pacquiao vs Margarito gets made, is it a fight that you would avoid watching (or boycott) solely due to Margarito's involvement in the bout? Perhaps you'd only consider watching it for free over the internet or would you in fact be happy to pay to watch the fight?

I'd either stream it or download it the next morning. I don't see my paying for this at all.

im still thinking about this. im made a thread and poll about cotto/marg vs pac.. but margarito vs pac is a slap in the face to the sport of boxing. id perfer cotto to shut those up who think he has a chance because of his new trainer. i do expect cotto to put up a better performance tho. but not this **** margarito doesnt deserve it. hes done nothing at all

Pac is back fighting Latinos again? What happened to other "so called" slick & tough races.

No, I'm a boxing fan. I don't think Margarito deserves a big payday but I'd rather see Pac fight him than Cotto. It'll be entertaing since both fighters like to brawl and I want Pac to send him to retirement.

I think that it is also possible to blame Manny for not agreeing to the correct cut-off date for the drugs (suggesting that he may well be involved in steroids himself), and of course Margarito is also at fault for obvious reasons, but I wouldn't boycott the fight because in the end, boxing is boxing.

That said, it may not be close enough to be worth watching.
