Comments Thread For: Arum: By Monday, Pacquiao's Fight Should Be Decided

[Khalid X]

Two serious question for all the Pac fans:

1) Do any of you actually believe there is a snowball's chance in hell that Pacquaio's next opponent will someone other than Antonio Margarito and that the fight will actually be fought somewhere other than Mexico?

I think Margarito is without a doubt the leading guy. So does anyone have a snowball's chance in hell as far as being the leading candidate for a Nov 13 bout? no I don't think so. I actually don't think it will happen in Mexico because there is a lot of b.s. going on in Monterrey at this moment so I think the fight will happen in Abu Dhabi.

2) Is it appropriate/fair for Pac and Margarito to fight for a 154-pound title at a catchweight when Margarito has only fought two fights at 154 (one being eight or nine years ago) and Pac has fought no fights at 154?

These are serious questions and I would like your response.

I think it is. The WBC exercised all of their option as far as filling up the vacancy at 154, and this is actually their 4th or 5th option. I can break down why Tony vs Pac is for a title if you like, but to make a long story short, WBC is actually doing the right thing according to the rules they have had in place for a long time (they are just following their own protocol).

With the catchweight thing, I won't comment on that until we know it's at a catchweight. Until then it's all speculation.

Damn I'm glad to hear we will have an answer by monday on who Pacquiao will be facing. Arum tried his best to make Floyd vs Pac but it fell apart for various reasons. Ohh well life goes on. I'm just hoping this fight is atleast affordable enough so I can go see it live. If it's Abu Dhabi....then naah can't really **** with that. But if it's in Mexico, Texas or Vegas then I'm there for sure.

He tried SO hard that he didn't even speak with ANYONE from Mayweather's team...wait for it....DIRECTLY. I'm not buying that.
