Why is Pacquiao fighting Margarito exactly?

[Franco2012]

Ugh yeah your just making that up off the top of your head. Wait till the HBO promotional machine takes over and then we can talk. The fights in November too for christ sake.

Exactly,3 or 4 episodes of Pac Marg 24/7 and it will go over million.

I cant wait for that fight,it will be warrrrrrrrr

[Vasyl’s dad]

That pretty much tells the story. In house money.

Since "boxing is a business", doesn't it make more business sense to keep all the money for yourself?

At least thats would I would do if I was a businessman in boxing.

[Vasyl’s dad]

bob arum = in house money which translates to win-win for him...

Thats just smart business. I don't see why anyone disagrees with Bob when he does this. They'll be first to tell you that "boxing is a business", but get all pissy when the man is doing what he does best,

conduct business.

In the faceoff Pacquiao says he and Roach has concerns with Margarito and cheating in the past, but why give him the oppurtunity? G Dog just doesnt see the point on the fight other than to pad Pacquiao's KO stats and make an easy pay day and Marg coudlnt even KO a journey Garcia...



Pacquiao-Bradley would of been more intruiging, hell Pacquiao-Mosley would of been pretty big, the same Moldsley that stopped the cheater. Margarito is absolutley irrelevant nowadays

manny want to see if he can beat margrito faster then old man mosley

[Pin Galarga]

Because Bob Arum is only able to negotiate with Bob Arum.

[Alibata]

No one is even talking about this fight amongst casual fans, most of them say "WHO THE EFF IS MARGARITO?"


Beleive it or not it is the casual fans that make the fighters their big pay day. Margarito sold 12K PPV buys, damn...not much of a big draw fight for Pac's opponent

Yeah people also said "who the F is Clottey?" 700k ppv 50k gate. Pacquiao has only gotten more popular since his last fight. People are paying to see Pacquiao and rooting for him

[p4p-champ]

Uncle Bob says fight cheato and make me more money so, the midget obliges.

dude you sound like a bitter b*tch exactly what has this dude done in the last year in the ring

[pistol whip]

Because Bob Arum is only able to negotiate with Bob Arum.

Who cares are you paying to watch Bob Arum negotiate or to watch a fight. i could care less who promotes the fight and why do you concern yourself with so much meaningless crap?
