[IMDAZED]

Ole Arum is playing the **** out of fans. I can't believe he managed to pull this all off

[BrooklynBomber]

By all accounts the Royal Family of the United Arab Emirates is very keen on hosting a battle for the vacant WBC light middleweight title between pound-for-pound king and “Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao and former world champion Antonio Margarito who is currently rated No. 1 by both the WBC and the WBA, in Abu Dhabi.

i hope pacman sparks margacheato in 22 seconds knocking him out of boxing all together...

or, pac just abuses him for 10 rounds and pummels him into a hospital and out of boxing


margacheato has no right fighting again

lol arum's not letting any non-toprank fighters a free publicity ride on this one.

I am against cheating as much as anybody, but I am against accusations without proof MORE SO ,so if you don't have proof just shut up !

The commission to the best I have read has stated that several were in the room with Margo in the Cotto fight and watched the hand wrapping take place without a hitch. No illegal wrapping took place but many have accused Margo with loaded gloves without PROOF PERIOD in the Cotto fight! Cotto had his own man, the commission had their men in there. They saw nothing wrong.

Having said that,, Its hard to dismiss the fact that Margo had his hands loaded in the Mosley fight and him not knowing this. I believe the reason he lost the way he did with Mosley is partly due to extreme pressure from the loaded gloves and being caught. The other reason of his loss of course is the Mosley factor and Margos style of straight ahead and take no prisoners attitude.

Having said that , Margo is as fresh as he will ever be again and the fight with Pac will be the strongest he will ever be again. Margo was born game so he is not a weenie like the Chicken**** we all know about. I don't look for it to be easy in the last 5 rounds. I don't know if Pac can put him away early but he may get him late. IF Margos chin is back he will put unbelievable PRESSURE on Pac in the last 4 or 5 rounds, if he was to get Pac it will be then.

Pac must be in great condition as usual, Margo is coming for redemption and yall better believe it will be a fight !!!!!!

Better that the Chicken that DUCKED his way out of his OWN LIES !!!!!!

UAE are handling the PPV and will be the sole beneficiary of those PPV dollars. The fighters including Top Rank get paid from the guaranteed pot, nothing to do with PPV trailing dollars. But on the flipside, you can bet that US PPV buyers will have to pay an excise tax or let's just call it an old school "tariff." Your cable provider will simply be the clearing house for this so look for an additional $10 charge on top of the $49.99 you currently pay.

after all this in house garbage clears up. all roads (STILL) lead to floyd mayweather.

[oside4life]

seriously why is margarito going to fight pac makes no sense. He's been suspended for illegal wraps. Then he fights some tomato can and wins now he faces manny pacquiao r u ****ing serious. LAME LAME LAME. Cheato's last big fight he lost no he got destroyed but yet he gets a big time fight. **** bob arum.

[KickAzz]

pac should do abu dhabi. he'll gain more fans if he does. forget the ppv #'s because pac/marg isn't gonna make floyd/mosley #'s.

[p4p-champ]

seriously why is margarito going to fight pac makes no sense.

If it makes Israeli Shekels, it makes sense...don't matter what morals are behind it. Uncle Bob is giving the sport a black eye...but then again he's always done this ****.
