ARLINGTON, Texas -Controversy erupted Saturday night before Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito even got in the ring.

A weight loss supplement was seen in Margarito's dressing room before the fight, and Pacquiao's team demanded that he be tested before the fight for possible banned substances. Texas officials, though, said the testing would be done after the fight as usual.

The weight loss supplement was reportedly Hydroxycut, sold over the counter.

Margarito struggled to lose the last few pounds this week to make the 150-pound contract weight for the fight.

Because he wouldn't have beaten Cotto if he hadn't cheated, he needs to cheat to beat the Elite fighters! Manny Pacquiao was like 148 tonight and Margaresto was 164-165!

No idea but it's a diuretic so I doubt it.

Why would he take a weight loss supplement a day after he already made weight?

He could have been taking it for weeks.

He just had it laying around.

It's definitely not illegal. Just a lot of caffeine, yohimbine and some herbs that help with losing water weight.

It is not a diuretic, it's not a steroid it's just a weak thermogenic fat burner.
