Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Not Fast Enough, Margarito Would Beat Him

[hugh grant]

Boy wheres Pacs speed gone to, it seems to have gone AWOL. Well he must know how he got it in the first place, so go there again.

He will need it if he fights Floyd, so nows not a good time to be slow.

even a cavemen knows ....

Why is Arum talking about pac's next? . Reason: Only because this is a fixed fight. In the real world Pacquiao will never beat margarito. But, because this fight is fixed, he will. Believe me on this one, again. This fight is fixed. Heard it from a Vegas reliable source. Do not bet a penny on margarito no matter how attractive the odds look. Wanna make $$$? Fly to Vegas and bet on pac no matter the odds because is a sure bet. It worked with Clottey. This ****** sold his soul for $$$. JUst like with Margarito, he got offered a chance for miilions but he had to loose and he did. It's a take it or leave it situation and a lot of money involve. Clottey just like margarito have no charisma and would never in his next ten lives sell 100 ppv and make the amount of money they make fighting pac, so, why not just loose one more and become wealthy? Any idea how many steaks have clottey family eat since his defeat? It's tough but this is what boxing have become. Arum is making noise about this fight, that's his job. He will sell is daughters just to make more $$$$. **** the sport this is business. nitramzaid@hotmail.com

This might be all hype, but this does add some interesting questions, I dont think Manny could decision Margarito.

My honest opinion is this is all HYPE from Bob, lets hope its not and he is telling the TRUTH.

VIVA MEXICO!

Martin, the only way to fix this fight would be to have Antonio win.
That's not going to happen.....hence, no fixed fight.
Vegas reliable source? Don't listen to that person anymore.

what an idiot claiming this fight is fixed. why would margarito take a couple of millions in exchange for being number 1 pound for pound if he wins..... after which he can dictate the purse and make tens of millions .... ******!

Arum is adding some fluff to his reports. I'm sure Pac is looking slow right now compared to how fast he normally is. Today is the 18th, he has plenty of time to work on speed. If Pac is truly slacking off for Margs, then he is dumb as heck..I bet The week leading up to the fight, there will be all kinds of reports saying he looks unstoppable.

Horus,

Tyson was a 40 to 1 favorite over Douglas for a reason.

So WTF is your point?

7:1 is far too generous. It's paying more or equal to Clottey and much more than Cotto. i'd take those odds. There is value there. Truly Margarito should be a 4 to 1 underdog, not 6 or 7 to 1.

However we do know Vegas bookies place a great deal on emphasis on who they deduce the promoter wants to win. Pac losing could jeopordise a future PBF bout.

Oh brother... If anything at least all this hype gives me something vaguely interesting to read on here.

[hugh grant]

Since when was Arum an expert on speed? Has he seen people faster or something?

[Check_hooks]

the books are at 8-1 because everyone with half a brain is betting on pacquiao. last week the odds were 14-1 vitali over briggs and look what happened......vitali won every round and broke briggs ****in face in
