Pac looked like **** in sparring (HBO 24/7 footage)

[SuckaPunch]

Nah, that means NOTHING...Ive seen guys get beat down worse in the gym a week before a fight where they looked spectacular...you're seeing him spar after running that morning, watching his weight, etc etc...you'll see him fight on a few days rest, rehydrated, etc...

iceman, i like your post-fight coverage on ESPN after pac-cotto. are you going to do post-fight again on ESPN for this fight?

you're a lot better than teddy atlas IMO.

HBO, Top Rank, and Roach have you and a ton of casual fans right where they want you. "OMG, Pacquiao looked horrible in sparring and Antonio looked great... maybe he has a chance". I wonder how many PPV buys that just got them.

I see what your saying but Pac himself said he was focusing on "timing".

[cupocity303]

How can they sell the fight if they portray one guy as a demi-god? Its gotta build you up and entice you to buy. Now you think Margarito has a shot and you'll buy the fight thinking the chance of an upset will occur.

Co-sign.

People have short attention span.

They did this for the Cotto and Clottey fights too. Citing camp tensions between Roach and Pacquiao and other things.

Hey, my man, thanks a lot...I'm actually trying to get that segment on my youtube page...and yes, I'll be doing the pre and post fight on ESPN News for the Pacman-Margarito fight...

It's not the first time Pacquiao looked bad in sparring. Plus, it seems like he only focuses on one thing at a time in there. On fight night when he puts all his training together, you'll see the same old Pacquiao beating down his opponent.

Pacquiao TKO 10.

He's not past his prime yet, they just took the absolute worst sparring video from the first few days of camp and juxtaposed that with Marg looking GREAT to sell the fight. Khan said recently that Pac is in the best shape he's seen him in since they've known eachother and he's more explosive than ever. He looked like a machine in his latest vids.

They pulled the same trick with the Cotto fight. Miguel was focused and hungry, started training camp 32 days before Pac did while Manny seemed lethargic and not focused... then fight night came.

From the looks of it he is.. Not saying he is shot. He's way far far from it. But look at his form, being mauled & out class in a sparring w/ a beginner is a sign of it. Don't worry. Pac beats margarito nonetheless.
