Whats with HBO shoving "Pacquiao being distracted" down our throats??

[rochemback]

Just trying to make it look competitive. And granted, they are pretty good at it. While watching it, I am getting really hyped for the fight, just to get back to "nah, easy fight for Pac" as soon as the episode ends.

Man, I've bookmarked so many threads like this. On the night of Nov 13, right after Tony beats Manny into submission, I'm gonna bump every single one of em.

LOL @ the signature.


I hope everyone who's buying into the HBO/Top Rank propaganda puts some money down and evens the odds up a bit.

This episode really tried to manipulate the viewer into thinking Margarito had a great chance to win. Of course the more people who believe that Margarito has a real live chance, the more PPV buys there will be. And HBO PPV takes 50% of the PPV money off the top.

Pac has time to roll 30 deep, sleep in a house with 20 people, kiss babies, shoot movies, be a congressman, sign autographs, do interviews, train, spar, tour, make music,play basketball, cheat on his wofe, promote movies, do talk shows and do the 24/7 broadcast but Im suppose 2 believe now after years of his schedule being this hectic all of sudden November 13th vs a weak ass opponent all of this will be a factor.

Are you kidding me? Stop it HBO.

so i guess all those things that pac is doing is "set up", he aint really doing those things? he's not really a congressman, he doesnt really have a lot of responsibilities in the philippines right burner?

STFU.

You can't call Tony "weak ass" with a straight face.

exactly. they think just because you get KTFO in one fight you are done. this is the drawback of the internet blog world. every freaking ****** can make ******ed ass threads showing their ******edness.

tony was coming back from a brutal fight vs cotto. at least cotto had 2 fights to prepare himself vs a fighter of shane's caliber. tony went straight into mosley after a brutal fight, & had that wraps controversy really mess his head up.

if every fighter was looked upon & treated with the same ******ed ass heavy handed judgement like burner, then fighters like tommy hearns, roberto duran, mike tyson, when they got KTFO should never put up their gloves again.


GOD I ****ING HATE ******S.

Freddie Roach doesn't bullshit and when he says this has been the worst training camp with Manny I believe him.

[Puya]

Its all hype , damn HBO

To make people believe Margo has a chance so when they bet the will bet pro Margo

Margarito fans are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to boxing fans. Supporting a proven cheater shows your true colors. You can't say margarito and innocence in the same sentence with a straight face. There was a concrete reason, no pun intended, that his liscence wasn't reissued in Cali...fact. I don't feel sorry for margarito fans...they are just unintelligent and ignore black and white facts.

i hope you've condemned pacquiao and roach for giving tony a chance then. they obviously believe in his redemption and pacquiao has said he deserves another chance. if the bottom of the barrel is good enough for paquiao, it's probably good enough for his fans too.

they do this **** all the time.

I really had people coming up to me who dont know ish about boxing Telling me Ricky Hatton really had a chance against Floyd and Pac!

Those 2 are in a different galaxy than Ricky but HBO does a great job of selling a supposed even fight. They even make me second guess myself sometimes haha

I've said this a couple of times here

if alex ariza was telling the truth when he started talking about how awful manny looks he'd get his teeth knocked out by freddie

at some point bob arum and TR said "Hey, we can sell a non competative fight by making pacquiao seem unprepared."


Margarito looked ordinary against a journeyman last time out

got dumptrucked out of the water by shane mosley

and his punching power in the wins that got him here otherwise is in question


tony's chin and heart are the only interesting aspects of this fight other than his obvious size and pressure


if tony's career hasnt caught up to him and his night with shane was over before it started we'll be in for a fun and non-competative fight

if tony is shot we're gonna see a warrior in dog shape getting slaughtered
