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

[cnote111]

Manny Pacquiao can fight whoever he wants. All he has to do is tell Bob. Everyone's been calling him out and instead, he makes the worst possible fight occur. No excuse.

I agree with 75% of that... Everything except the fact that it is that simple...

Could you imagine the talks between Bob and PAC..

Bob says:

Hey Manny, i have this perfect set up. I can get you the following:

1. The bigger purse
2. All the stipulations on the ring, gloves, and location.
3. Any weight you want
4. The WBC Belt
5. Your 8th Title - Which may never be broken.
6. And a style match up that is almost a sure win
7. No OST

How could Manny say no to that???

Don't get me wrong, i wish Manny would tell Bob to go take a long walk off a short cliff, but the reality is, that was an offer NO FIGHTER would ever refuse...

He can have almost all of those things if he fights Martinez. So who cares? Manny calls the shots and decides. He chose Margarito, end of story.

Key word "almost" - His choices were Cotto and Marg. that is the real end of the story...


- Don't forget i'm not happy about this at all...

His choices were whomever he wanted. Williams, Martinez, Bradley, etc. were all available. He chose Margarito. End of story.

You crack me up.... Are you equally hard on PBF for not fighting all the above choices including cotto and Marg.??

Bob Arum can't move without Manny Pacquiao's decision. People fail to understand that Arum works for Pacquiao, not the other way around.

Well i think this pretty much closes are discussion... I agree with you that both fighters are not taking all of the best fights... However, I do believe PBF is dictating his choices 100% because he handles all facets of the negotiation process, but i don't think PAC is in the same realm and has a lot of corrupt ****s calling the shots and he is just along for the ride... IS that right..> NO, but it is what it is...

To be fair, while you can see that I've taken Mayweather to task for his previous actions, he took the best fight and biggest risk out there last May. This is Pacquiao's second straight tuneup on PPV, on the other hand. I won't be paying and it's high time his fans stop condoning this BS.

I for one do not condone this pick whatsoever, but i think the fault lies on multiple facets besides just Pacquiao... TOP RANK and the Sanctioning Bodies are getting away with murder and they need to be held accountable... But money talks, and almost every PBF fan love that fact that Money is dictating this sport.
