Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao vs Marquez Will Be at 147 or No Fight

[V.WEBB]

Arum is so full of it. I guess catchweights only when it benefits Pac. Looks like Clottey was the only one that got the fair deal out of the wieght issue

Um...yea..

I guess Arum showed Mayweather how to quack and he's teaching it to PAC now

See the weight pic "silly person"

This is the reason why boxing is losing fans, Arum is full of ****!!!

[IMDAZED]

Did you hear how Bob Arum described catchweights? "STARVIN".
I remember Manny "STARVIN" Cotto and Margarito. Margarito had
to use some BS drink to make weight. Like I said, everything will
be revealed in due time. Arum sounds aggressive and angry when
it comes to Marquez. Comes off as worrying and or stressing a lil.
Arum does not want to make the fight happen at all. Looks like
Mosley got his big shot. May even turn out to be the next Hatton.
Beat up by Floyd and Pac. Mosley was a great fighter in his prime
but could have been greater if he made smarter decisions in certain
aspects of his career.

The sad thing is, Cotto and Margarito are promoted by him like Manny is .

this shouldnt be an issue surely....pac weight 144 for his fight v margarito....marquez usually has to come down to 135 but now he can just stay at whatever weight he comes into the ring at....they would be pretty evenly matched weight wise...no point pac blowing up to 147 and then higher post weigh in as it will slow him down. so thats one excuse Arum hasnt got. and ODH has said golden boy will step aside so thats another excuse gone.....what's left? unsellable fight? more sellable than berto and more credible than mosley. sorry Bob but this is the one that needs to happen if Gayweather is still experimenting with womens lingerie.....and what if marquez hands manny his a$$? floyd can laugh in his jail cell and pick up another bar of soap!

We're not interested in any kind of starving to get lower and so forth.

LMAO!

De La Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, Clottey, and Margarito weren't hungry going into the weigh in? Pacquiao has been bulking up his featherweight frame and should be able to make 140 easily. Not to say that Pacquiao would come into the ring weighing 165 anyway, but the fans would like to see a competitive fight. That's why we want Marquez over Mosley. Give Pacquiao the 70/30 split and have it at 140. Cmon now Arum.

"Not 5 cents more..."

lol @ Marquez.

I'm sorry but 147 for this fight is just ridiculous. We all know how Marquez looks at 147. Pac can easily make 140 if not 135. Roach even said Manny was pretty much a lightweight a few months ago. I think Pac would make a much bigger statement if he fought Marquez at lightweight. It would also counter the claim that he only won a belt at 135 by beating the worst champion at the weight.

Maquez should come in @140 1/2 pounds so he can keep some speed.
