I'm so tired of reading all these idiotic threads claiming that this fight is fixed so Pacquaio can't lose. That makes no sense when you analyze it. First of all, the amount of money Margarito would make in his future fights if he were to win far exceeds what Arum (or whoever else) could possibly afford to pay him. Second, throughout boxing history there is one main reason fights have been fixed. That would be to make money betting on the underdog. Nobody is going to make big money ******** on Pacquaio. You could cash in very nicely betting on the heavy underdog here. Finally, if Margarito wins an exciting fight, the rematch would be HUGE. Don't tell me that Arum is protecting Pac for the mega fight with Mayweather. That fight has already failed to happen twice, and there are plenty of bad feeling with both sides. Not to mention that Floyd has some felony issues to deal with.
If Pacquaio wins big, what else is there for him? Nothing that would even come close to a rematch with the man who just beat him. Don't pretend that Manny is going to fight the Williams-Martinez winner. That just isn't happening for a number of reasons. As a disclaimer, I'm not saying that if Margarito wins the fight was fixed. But I am saying if the fight really is fixed, then Margarito wins. Think about it.
