    Whatever your opinion of him, the fact is that plain and simple - He did it.

    I'd like to hear about other fighters doing this kind of thing. And there is, don't get me wrong but it seems like it's few and far between. Giving back when you made it is a mark of a good humble person.

      pacquiao has funded to help buil a hospital, shelters and housing for the poor and provides food to the poor on a daily basis...this is just a small sample of what pac does in his country...not on the same level as providing air plane tickets ;o)

          Awwww, an atempted murderer with a heart of gold. Going to church once a week doesn't make it alright to sin the other six days.

            Since when are margarito and manny and a competition to see how donates more? You don't know how he spends his money so don't judge the guy. He did a nice thing and I've personally been to Tijuana multiple times and everyone lives him. He contributes a lot to local small charities from what I was told. I attended a food drive for a orphanage there and he was the main financial supporter. But never saw him or got to meet him.

            It's great to see any fighter helping out those less fortunate.

              Not the first wise comment that I have seen you make.

              Oh yeah, hes a great guy, hes just misunderstood.

              Had Richardson not caught Margarito..... I am sure that Tony would never have gone through with that fight

              You fkn ******s.

              Hmmmmm..... what will I do now? finish reading this thread about what a wonderful caring guy Margo is, or shall I go and put my hand in a meat-grinder?

              ****it, I'd prefer the grinder, I'm not reading anymore of this shi7.

              Lead out.

                Give yourself an uppercut.

                    Margarito can do the same thing for 4 Puerto Rican kids and Ricans would still hate him.

                    Even worse, I bet if Margarito were to save Puerto Rico from a weapon of mass destruction, they still would hate him.

                    That's how butt hurt they are cause he whooped Cotto.

                      I am not Puerto Rican.....

                      ..... and yet I think that Margarito is a low-life piece-of-shi7.

                      So, I am not sure that your theory stacks up too good.

                      If Margarito saved PR from a WMD.....

                      I would think that he is a self-serving manipulative low-life piece-of-shi7, who was attempting to redeem himself for cheating against Cotto.

                      But then hey, what do I know about WMD's or cheating
