This will be my first and only time mentioning anything about this fight. I will not make a prediction, nor do I care who wins.
The fact that this fight is even being made is an absolute travesty to the highest degree. Bob Arum and the powers that be at Top Rank are doing an extreme disservice not only to boxing fans, but sports fans in general. But they don't care. This isn't the first time they've screwed their loyal customers, and it certainly won't be the last.
Allowing Antonio Margarito to collect the highest purse of his career is sending a message that you can be rewarded for cheating. Manny Pacquiao does have right to refuse to fight him if he wants. So now is the time for Pacquiao to step up and have his voice heard by standing up to Bob Arum for a change.
There are better options available.
This has nothing to do with being a fan of Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather. It's a matter of what's right and wrong, and supporting a fighter like Margarito is wrong on so many levels.
Join the movement along with thousands of boxing fans world-wide by boycotting this farce of boxing match that's being force-fed to us. The best way to send a message is by hitting them where it hurts....the pocketbook. To tack on a $49.95 price tag is an even bigger slap in the face. Do what's right and save your money, because this hogwash isn't worth it.
