How lame is Pac-Marg for Pac's 8th division title?

[horge]

LOL @ people who voted "I blindly support anything Pacquiao does".

Ya gotta love comedians.

As lame as it gets. It's a pointless fight.

When will we talk about floyd fighting someone? I guess we could talk about him in 2012 fighting mathew hatton.

It's a letdown in terms of the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight not happening but this will be a war anyways so just enjoy it folks.

True, it will at least have some excitement value as Margarito will pretty much sacrifice it all for a last payday and well know this. I will however go out and point out a few things since the first post:
1) Cotto @ 147 wouldn't have changed anything at all, its just would've been nice to have the fight @ 147.

2) After the whole "talks and negotiations are going well" to "there were none" incident I don't see Top Rank and GBP doing any business for a while together so the fact is I can't put 100% blame for Top Rank having in house fights, GBP will be doing it [and their whole Mexican Independence day broadcast is a joke].

3) Alexander and Bradley are relative unknowns outside boxing fans with limited fan base. Margarito's fan base are his adoring Mexican public who will buy the card and support "their" man. Does this suck? Yes. Is it fair? Yes. If you were asked to fight a guy who brings in you more cash than another guy who doesn't who would YOU pick? So that's a question I'd say everyone should ask themselves because while I personally wish it were Bradley vs Pac, I'd also say I'd take the Margarito fight myself given the 3x payout because I'm honest enough to accept the fact that making money isn't a bad thing either.

4) IF Bradley beats Alexander, it might generate enough fan base to at least make a Bradley fight reasonable. Works vice-versa too.

5) Pwill and Berto are Haymons guys and I don't see Aurum talking to Haymon about a fight. So we shouldn't expect it either or blindly ask for it. If any fight involves GBP or Al Haymon working with Top Rank we should just kill it there because its useless to assume they will let things wash over fast. If you can get the 2 camps to make a fight that will get them millions over, can you honestly expect them to work together to make peanuts?

6) Pac still is gonna use mileage for this fight while someone else is out in Florida with Don King. Its a case of "who am I MORE pissed at" and its the guy whose hanging out with Don King. Frankly if Don King is your plan B...its a damn poor plan B and let me tell you that any means to defend is worthless, can't defend teaming up with Don King, just can't. Just ask Moe Sizlak (get the humor?)

Really hoping Montiel-Donaire gets done.

Also hyped for both Super 6 fights

They're talking about it happening on the undercard of the Cotto/Chavez fight on the 4th i believe!
