Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Margarito: Manny To Demand 150-Pound Weight

[dde91]

i hope if its at 150 that it isn't for the title. Im a Pacquiao fan but that would be crazy. If its for the title at a lesser weight, it should be around 152. But even if its that it should just happen at 154.

hahaha i love this.

I'm pretty sure they are doing this on purpose just to piss all the haters off lol

I personally would have demanded 147.5 catchweight would have been even more hilarious to see the haters whine.

I got the solution fools.

Don't watch the fight. lol

They'll still sell over a million cus the casual fans don't give a **** about no catchweight lol

Hatton had already fought at 147 before and he was challenging Floyd for the 147 belt and he wasn't a ***** to ask Floyd for a catchweight... Marquez on the other hand it is what it is he wanted to fight the best since Manny didn't want the trilogy and he got what he asked for

"It is what it is?" Come on, Marquez was like 2 fights from 130 and Floyd took him on and all you can say is, "it is what it is"?

Floyd had one look at Ricky's ONLY fight at 147 and said, "piece of cake" ..... what did Ricky do after that fight? He went back down to fight at 140 a couple of times before fighting Floyd. With your logic then we should all be OK with Manny fighting Margo at 150 because Margo is one fight from his 147 fights too .......


You can't have it both ways!!!

what a joke manny is.

- the vacant wbc title on the line, and neither fighter has done jack **** at 154

- on top of that it's at a catchweight of 150 pounds

- and on top of that it's against a proven cheater who is past prime anyway(and margarito wasn't even that good to begin with)

I couldn't agree more. That's wassup V.

I think his point is nobody is fighting for titles at catchweights but Pac. It doesn't matter if Floyd thought Hatton was easy work or if Hatton thought the same. The point is that they didn't make their title fight at a catchweight. If Pac were fighting Margs in a non title fight I don't think anyone would have a prob. The fact that neither one of them has done anything at 154 worth them fighting for a title, plus the fact that it's at a catchweight is what bothers people.

whats is the problem with it being a title,

u know someone said something like...

"belts do nothing but gather dust!"

hahahahah!

[Access_Denied]

Ugh oh... Margarito might come in weight drained and lose. Because that's why he moved up to 154 u know.. cuz had problems making 147 (even though he was the champ) that's why he lost to Mosley u know???

[lopez36]

another catchweight??...if you are going to demand that your opponent not fight at the limit and want him coming down,please don't fight at that weight and stay where you are supposed to,at 147,i understand some people saying its 148-154,then let manny come in at 150 and his opponent at 154,after all it's still considered super welter,right?,this is just wrong that manny says his opponents should weigh what he wants them to and then for a title is even worse,the way he's winning titles by making his opponents weigh what he wants is wrong,he's getting advantages that other boxers in the past never had,they did it the right way,not manny

[boxer2k5]

how is moving up to 154 moving up if you demand 150 i dont understand this
