Comments Thread For: Abu Dhabi Reps Optimistic About Pacquiao-Margarito

Arum is an idiot, and Pac may very well lose to Margarito unfortunately, which would be absolutely horrible for boxing.

replay's are sponsored, everyone being urged to drink an energy drink, fighter's scrambling to get their t-shirt & hat on to keep everyone happy, the list goes on!! I know it's different in the states, but here in the uk that's seen as drilling the audience into the corporate side of sport. I watch formula 1, and it's just as bad!!

that explains it. you're from the UK.

What's sad is that you keep bringing up a man who is 'not thinking about boxing', 'on vacation', and 'not rushing into anything' against Pacquiao who is 'running halfway around the globe' to fight ANOTHER opponent who Mayweather ducked and 'retired' to avoid fighting.

Fall back. You can save money on this PPV and pay $59.95 instead to watch Floyd lounge on a beach while Ellerbe rubs suntan lotion all over his chest. That's probably more interesting than any of his fights.

Mayweather never wanted to have anything to do with Pacquiao. This has been abundantly clear since the night of the Cotto fight.

"My son will never fight Manny Pacquiao"- Floyd Mayweather Sr.

No one PUNKS OUT quite like
The MASTER OF AVOIDANCE!!!

And a COMPLEMENTARY HIT on the HOKAAHA!!!

What's horrible for boxing is Arum putting on a fight in Abu Dhabi that is illegal in the USA. He's skirting the law and benefitting a sanctioned boxer in spite of a legal ban. You can tell that Arum is a lawyer by his disregard for the law. Oh yeah, Margarito isn't beating Pacquiao without his plaster of Paris.

Manroid vs plasterito

I'm warming to the idea of this fight; reckon it could actually be good. Pacman is reasonably easy to hit and whilst Margarito is not an amazing boxer, he has a ****ing good chin and will at least fight unlike Clottey. Reckon this will be a harder fight for Pacquiao than Cotto at 145. Certainly harder test than Clottey too.

look people there is no way that pacquiao is going to lose to margarito. Margarito at this point is a TALL SLOW PUNCHING BAG. And to top it off, hes extremely rusty because he hasn't been able to fight much in the last two years. (Do you think Arum would risk putting Pacquiao in with a good fighter when a mayweather fight next year looms??)

Bottom line is this....this fight is garbage. Pacquiao has absolutely no chance of losing. People ***** about the sport of boxing but yet they let promoters get away with this. Just dont buy the PPV and if you have to watch it, then go to a bar and pay the cover.
