Yes Margarito doesn't deserve the fight with Pac but......

[jrosales13]

cotto didnt know but has spoken about it. so what do you have to say to that

I have to say that Nevada is different rules than Cali.

In Nevada, they provide the wraps, the bandages, everything. Not like Cali where YOU are able to bring your own wraps and what have you. Not in Nevada where YOU can't use your personal wraps. You have to use what Nevada provides. And, they're watching you the whole time more so than Cali.

That is why I said read the rules of each commission man.

i woulda rather watched PAC-Malinaggi in The Philippines but this will do

Jro,he doesn't deserve it but Ur glad he got it??I guess,I mean there are elite fighters at 154 who labor there constantly but somehow,Margarito who little over a year ago was caught red handed trying to cheat against Mosley,then there's Pacman,a great talent no doubt,but has no credentials yet both are fighting for a title of 154 at a catchweight!!What about the guys that go in there & duke it out at 154 day in & out,what about them!!He doesn't deserve it but ur glad he got it??

[VERSION1 (V1)]

3 time champions and former number 1 welterweights of the world don't deserve titleshots now? WTF? Seriously you people act like everyone is a 3 time champion or something like they give the titles to just anyone who walks by off the streets.

ok so do holyfeild or roy jones deserve a shot at the wlad or vitial....NO and how is beating a guy who was not ranked earn u a title shot.

[jrosales13]

What makes this a bullshitfight to me is the fact that it's at a catch weight and for a belt. I still think Margarito is probably more dangerous than some of the guys out there. Angulo has issues with the visa. Alexander doesn't deserve a shot at Pacquiao based on his fight against Kotelnik. Floyd ducked the fight. Bradley I think would give Pac a tough fight maybe, but he's the only guy I can think of that's really earned a shot.

I kind of agree with this thread overall.

No doubt adn I am not even going to argue that.

My point is that I am happy Marg is getting paid.

Pac should be criticize. But, I am talking more as a Marg fan POV.

[RubenSonny]

Ugh yeah you seem to confuse some of us with people who actually give a *** how much a fighter makes. I don't especially when we are talking about 7million dollars which is more money than what 99% of all boxers combined will make in their entire careers.

Are you not the same guy who was defending Pacs choice to fight Marg since he would make the most money against him nstead of fighting someone like Bradley.

What? Was that in english? What are you talking about?

read and youll know

The way I see it is that Margarito beat Garcia to get himself back in contention.

but Garcia was a fringe contender at best so beating him should have done nothing for Tony's rankings

He is rated #1 by WBC and the WBA. The only thing bad about the fight is the catchweight. If Pacquiao wants a belt at 154 he should allow Margarito to weigh in at that weight.

for a title? yes it's a load of crap both fighters IMO did nothing to deserve the belt

however if you are worried about Tony they view this as welterweight + 3 so those hard pounds fighters have to lose during fight week will not be an issue

Freddie was right this should have been at welter but it's not and what Manny and his team thought was an advantage for them making the bigger man come down, they forgot Tony was essentially a career welter to begin with

[jrosales13]

floyd wanted arum to set up fights for 10 each with cotto and hatton if he fought marg.

maybe you should read. he was using marg as leverage to get paydays with hatton and cotto. arum didnt want to pay so he walked

The money was offered in April.

Was he offered a career high payday at that time to fight Marg yes or no?

Is really a simple question.

hopefully marg beats the brakes off pac and ko him
