Im starting to believe Manny is hiding something..

Catchweights are used to make the bigger guy work harder than usual so he doesn't come into the ring 100%. It's as simple as that. Pacquiao is a *****.

MArgarito >>> Bradley,Paul Williams ,Berto

as PPV attraction



He has all country behind him!

hahahahaha no he doesn't it most Mexican fight fans disowned him after how he embarrass us. Mexicans were waiting for long time til a Mexican fighter beat a PR again, and we were very happy after he beat Cotto but after wraps came up we would have rather have him just lose. If you wanna talk about having a country behind him to sell tickets then why not put him up against Canelo? He is really loved by his countryman!

You saying Margarito has ALL his countrymen behind him is way off, Many Mexicans recognize him as shameful and it has been shown on this site and by the media so stop it.
As for a PPV draw did this lead you to that conclusion( PPV buyrate was a pitiful 12,000-15,000 for Margarito's last fight ) IN MEXICO TO TOP IT OFF!!!
Dont make up facts its insulting.

Way off my point but here it goes.... A money thing would happen either way. There is no more money in a catchweight fight then the proper fight. The only one one that gets more money here is Marg.Pac will get his either way.

actually I think pac would make less money fighting guys with no fanbase or mainstream recognition like bradley.

But Marg will also fight him at whatever weight Pac says because his career is hanging by a thread.

I don't really see what's wrong with them fighting at 150 given that margarito is a WW.

As for the PED thing....I said I believe that he throws the catchweight demand in so that when he wins it can be viewed as "the catchweight" helped him win as opposed to LiL Pac is just jumping up and destroying guys in their natural weights because that raises eyebrows even more.

I think pac fights at catchweights because (1) he is testing the waters in a new weight division that he has no business being in (2) he doesn't want every 154 lber calling him out.

wait... but margarito is a 147 lber. so how is fighting margarito at 150 lbs weight draining margarito?

Was a 147lber. His last fight wasn't at 147.

[S H A R K B O Y]

Exactly. He had trouble making 147lbs. since the Mosley fight.

[daggum]

Was a 147lber. His last fight wasn't at 147.

that's because it was a tune up. he fought santos at 154 in 2004. guess he wasn't a welterweight the past 6 years when he fought all his fights there?

Im starting to believe Manny is hiding something...You ask why?
I really dont see why he is asking fighters to come in at a catchweight and most of us cant really understand it.
Pac asks Cotto to come in at 145 for a 147 lb belt then asks Margarito to come in at 150 for a 154 lb belt.
Its starting to look like he is trying to justify his wins or KO's of "bigger guys".
Maybe it wont look so fishy to fans if he KO's a bigger guy if he makes them fight at a catch weight hmmmm?
I have heard many guys in here Supposedly hardcore fans say, "Pac can beat Margarito at 154 no problem and Cotto at 147 or 154 no problem. Then Why the catchweights?
Im starting to think its a smoke screen, becuase if he KO's these guys at their wieght then he will look even more of a freak then he already looks to most. PED?

On another note how the hell does Arum defend not fighting PW BRADLEY AND ALEXANDER "because their names are not big enough to draw money" but its OK to fight Clottey and Margarito? WTF

That is clearly an echo of your belief.

Let me digest what you are trying to say here.
1. If he KO this guys at their natural weight, he would look like he's on peds
2. If he KO this guys at a catchweight, he is using a smokescreen so people would think he is not using peds

Either way, imo, you are not really starting to believe but had already decided that he is on peds.

WOW!!!! You had a defense for everything that made Pac look bad....too bad it was a bad defense, more like shotty excuses...sorry.
This is more of a "boxing fan debate " as opposed to who loves Manny more debate.
