Arum thinks the Pacquiao-Margarito bout will be “The most grueling fight” of Pacquiao’s career
August 11th, 2010
By Dave Lahr: Bob Arum continues to try and hype the November 13th fight between his two Top Rank fighters Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito, despite little fan interest outside of the Philippines. Arum can always count on Pacquiao’s loyal fan base in the Philippines to be interested in whoever he puts in there with Manny. In an article at Philboxing.com, Arum says “I think really think Manny is going to win the fight, but it will be the toughest, the most grueling fight he’s ever had and it’s going to be a sensational fight. This kid [speaking about Margarito] is going to throw a million punches from all different angles. He’s much bigger than Manny is, he has a great jaw and it’s going to be a great, great fight.” That’s what Arum said about Pacquiao’s fight against Joshua Clottey last March, and that turned out to be a real dud.
I wonder if Arum saw that fight. I disagree with Margarito making for a grueling fight, unless Arum is talking about Margarito bleeding all over Pacquiao for five or six rounds. In that case, I would consider it a “gruesome fight,” not a “grueling” one. I wish I felt the same way about Margarito as Arum does, but I just can’t forget how awful he looked against 38-year-old Mosley last year and how average he looked against little known Roberto Garcia in his last fight.
Arum is still hoping to have the fight take place at the Cowboy Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. The last time I checked, Margarito still doesn’t have a boxing license to fight in the United States. That’s not stopping Arum from meeting with the Cowboy Stadium owner Jerry Jones to talk about putting the Pacquiao-Margarito fight there. Margarito is reapplying to get his boxing license back from the California Athletic Commission this month. If he gets it, then Arum will get his way and the Pacquiao vs. Margarito fight will take place at the Cowboy Stadium. However, if the California Athletic Commission declines to give Margarito back his boxing license, then it’s going to be interesting to see if the Texas Athletic Commission will ignore what the California Athletic Commission rules.
Margarito has already been rejected by the Nevada Athletic Commission in his attempts to get his boxing license back from them. This fight could end up not happening at in Texas. Arum would then have to probably move the fight to Mexico. I bet by then he’d be wondering why he chose Margarito in the first place. It might have been better for Arum to wait until Margarito already had his boxing license to fight in the U.S. before deciding on putting Pacquiao with him.
I think that was a bizarre move on Arum’s part, but I can kind of understand it because he’s running out of fighters from his stable to put in with Pacquiao. There’s Miguel Cotto, Margarito, Julio Cesar Chavez, and Vanes Martirosyan. Other than maybe Cotto, there’s really no one that boxing fans want to see fight Pacquiao out of that bunch. Even Cotto, they’re not so eager to see another mismatch between him and Pacquiao. Whether they like it or not, they’ll be seeing a Pacquiao-Cotto rematch next year anyway.

THIS WHAT THE ENEMIES ALWAYS SAYS AFTER THE FIGHT THAT THEY’VE BEEN CHEAT….THEY CANT ACCEPT DEFEAT…HARD HEADED PEOPLE…IF PACMAN LOST TO ANY ONE WE FANS WILL ACCEPT IT..BUT NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO ..THEY WILL NOT DEFEAT HIM…EVEN IF THEY DRINK STEROIDS HAHAHAHAHAHA!
MR.ROMERO HATES BOXING!!!!1HE DOESN’T RECOGNIZE THE GREATNESS OF THE BOXERS…..HE HIM SELF WANT TOO TO BE FAMOUS..MEANS HIS JEALOUS WITH PACMAN HEHEHEHEHE..YOU SHOULD BE A FAN ..YOU SHOULD NOT BE JEALOUS..
EVERYBODY WANT TO FIGHT PACMAN HAHAHAHA!!! OBVIOUSLY HIS THE GREATEST HIS FAMOUS???????????????EXCEPT FLOYD..THIS IS FLOYD CHANCE TO CLAIM HIS THE BEST BUT HE DOESN’T WANT..HE RATHER CHOOSE TO HIDE.
HAHAHA! WEATHER FANS CANT ACCEPT THE REALITY HEHEHE!!!!!!! THEY WERE THE TWINS OF THE WEATHER SENIOR HEHEHEHEHE!!!!!!!!!!!!ISN’T TRUE ????????????WHO BELIEVES SENIOR WEATHER IS JUST LIKE HIM….HE SHOULD NOT BE MALICIOUS ..WITHOUT ANY PROVE ABOUT PACMAN..IN COURT HIS ALREADY LOST BECUZ OF NO PROVES HAHA!

pac once he felt really good using his clitoris to fight well hes gonna get it busted open against margo PAC MANS ON ROIDS!!!!
Who cares this is a garbage fight, all concerned should be ashamed. When a proven cheat gets the shot at the P4P champ is a sad day for boxing. Shame on you all. Peace x
Two cheaters(pathetic) dirty money.
This entire idea is the stupidest fight I’ve ever heard.
I TOTALLY AGREE.
I can’t think of anything more difficult than fighting for a vacant 154 belt at a catchweight of 150 against a guy who suddenly looks REALLY mediocre after getting caught with plaster in his wraps.
Funny how sudden scrutiny of your wraps and gloves makes you get KTFO by Shane Mosley and look really journeyman-ish against…well, a journeyman.
NOYNOY!
“Dealt with” what the f^ck do you mean by “Dealt with”.If you watch boxing and and compare mosely’s previous fights before he fights Margarito his performances were lackluster to say the least.Another thing mosely wasn’t tested for any steroids before or after the margarito fight. Mosely is known steroid user and abuser and was roided out against De la Hoya too.He got tired in 2 rounds against mayweather because he couldn’t juice up.
everybody knows that Mosely was on steroids??? Dude, what are you talking about??? By the time Mosely fought Margarito the steroid issue with Mosely had already been dealt with.
Everybody knows mosely was on steroids for that fight.Margarito needs to rematch mosely but this time, they need to both be subjected to random testng before and after the fight.This will prove mosely was juiced up,because Margarito will beat him silly and he knows it.And another thing,mosely on roids hits harder the pacquiao on roids,good luck manny, you are going to need it.
I hope the fight takes place in Mexico. Pacman said he would love to fight there and he would have alot of fans going for him. Not likely, the Mexican people always back up their own and if your a Mexican and going for Pacman. Shame on you.
Mr. Dave Lahr before anything else ask your master to fight Manny Pacquiao, all of your articles are pure garbage unless your master agrees to fight the p4p king. You were just given the liberty of writing in bnews24 that does not mean you have the credibility specially when all your writings are not balanced. Do you know the meaning of “Payola” ?…………. if not well then ask somebody because you are into this.
joker- lolol…..what the hell are you talking about.?…….nobody is talking about Mosely’s punchstat numbers because we are talking about a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito and the tremendous amount of punches that they threw against a common opponent in Joshua Clottey. Shane Mosely speed is what nullified Margarito’s punch output……..so my point being that Pac and Margarito threw an enormously high vloume of punches based on the weakness of the common opponent that was put in front of them……..sorry if you cant understand that.
@wasting away in margaritoville since ur all into punch numbers u forgot to get mosleys compu box numbers when he fought margarito and get the power punches now look up when he fought mayorga and then mayweather its not hes old its he was steroided up he threw more power punches than a featherweight pacman!!!!!!!!!1
@ wasting away in margaritoville – and you will be watching!!
lol……..When confronted with the facts, Pac fans always start running like roaches in the dark when a light switch is turned on. Before Floyd fought Mosely, Mosely was the biggest threat ever to face floyd….after Floyd dispatched Mosely…it was “big deal…..Mosely is old and washed up.” OK lets say that that is the case….so what does that say about Pac’s next opponent in Antonio Margarito? Against a younger and fresher fighter in Joshua Clottey, Margarito threw a record 1600 plus punches…….but against a “older, washed up” Shane Mosely, he threw only 485 thru 9 rounds….lolol…..what am I missing????…..shouldn’t that be the other way around? So, now are we to believe that Margarito will revert back to throwing 1600 plus punches against Pac, and this fight will be “bombs away” for both fighters? For that to happen, Pacquiao will have to stay in front of Margarito all night, lay on the ropes, and hope to “catch” Margarito with a shot. Now……does any Pac fans expext for that to happen?????………lolol…checkmate!!
All the haters saying it will not be an excellent fight bet you all fcukin tune in to watch it.
After setting the compubox record against Joshua Clottey for throwing over 1600 punches…..Margarito only mustered 485 punches in 9 rounds against an “old” Shane Mosely. So, yeah Pac vs Marg. has fireworks written all over it.
So gullible………Excellent fight? LMFAO!!!
Will be an excellent fight a nice year ender!!
He should be, which fighter doesn’t want to redeem himself.Prove that Margarito didn’t beat him with gloves loaded with plaster of paris, that wouldn’t harden in a sweaty boxing glove.He knows(Cotto) that he would get beat down again.
Margarito threw 1675 punches against Clottey.Pacquiao threw 1261,who really thinks Pacquiao is going to outwork Margarito and overwhelm him with shots, thats a laugh. Margarito is going to outwork and overwhelm pacquiao who is going to be confused when he realizes his punches are not going to have an effect on Margarito.
I,m just not sold on this fight.paquiao is too fast.
who cares what cotto did? you are the top pactard out here!!
@wasting away in margaritoville
The Judah fight would be better than anything we’ve seen since Cotto… I will give Manny the Cotto fight, even though it was a title fight at 145 for no reason… He still won the fight fair and square… Cotto is not the same, but he’s better than the rest of Manny’s recent opponents. Judah would probably give him a better fight though…
Who cares what Arum says? This will be worse than the Clottey fight. I’d rather watch grass grow.
I got an interesting opponent for Pac that no one has talked about…….Zab Judah has, for the most part come up short in meeting the expectations of having a very successful career…..he seems to always come up short when he is under the glare of the spotlight……but his good hand speed, footwork and power will still test those who get into the ring with him. Am I the only person that would think that Zab Judah would give Pacquiao a better run for his money than his latest string of opponents? If Pac is so content on fighting big named opponents that are a shell of themselves…..then why not add Judah to the mix? It would be interesting to see how Pac would do against a guy with good hand speed and power…..and against a guy that still wants to prove that he is one of the best of his generations.
I’m upset Manny is fighting Margarito; obviously everyone wants Floyd to stop hiding, but I’m mostly disappointed in this match up because I don’t feel Margarito deserves to be in the boxing ring. The man should have been banned for life for using tampered hand wraps, its attempted assault and its damn near attempted murder for this grueling sport. Margarito can only win with illegal loaded gloves… well Manny has legally loaded gloves and he is guaranteed to make this Margo’s last fight!
I think alot of you are angry for this fight taking place cause deep down in your stomach you feel Pacman is gonna get KAYO’ed by Margarito….me too….GOOD NIGHT PACMAN, THIS TIME YOU BIT OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW…
hahaha… floyd already know how to defeat pac and manny will gonna kiss the canvass, that’s for sure. floyd paid Don King 25M dollars to arrange the pac-klitschko fight…hahaha
Styles make fights!!!!
Exhibit A:
Antonio Margarito vs Joshua Clottey = record setting 1600 punches from Margarito against a fighter that stood in front of him all night.
Antonio Margarito vs Shane Mosely (older, but faster and better than Clottey) = 485 punches thru 9 rounds from Margarito and beneficiary of a royal beatdown.
Exhibit B
Manny Pacquiao vs Joshua Clottey = over 1200 punches thrown by Manny, but only a paltry 20% connect rate
Manny vs ODH, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto…etc = a very exciting and explosive Manny against fighters who were past their prime and very easy to hit….a peculiar trend, which can be said about all of Manny’s recent opponents.
Conclusion:
Manny vs Margarito = a blitzering Pac against another easy to hit opponent….. A blitzering Pac who will throw a ton of punches against another opponent that will look like a deer lost in the headlights……….and another dominating performance by Manny against a big named fighter with not much left in the tank…………….is anybody surprised?…………somebody find my lost shaker of salt!!!
Vendetta. Manny point blank said no to mosley- youtube it. Floyd manned up and schooled shane
is anyone seriously listening to bob arum anymore? this guy is just like a politician. Pacs most grueling fight was against erik morales in 2005. and we know arum already said no to marquez *which would be tough* bob arum just needs to shut up.
@lacem up
mosley ko’ed margarito and cotto schooled mosley.dude, they have different styles.this reason makes you a dumb shyt! go to school dude!
old man mosley (as you pactards call him) just ktfo of margaCHEATO..only pactards will pay to watch this! what is the point of this fight? pac isnt even rated in the top ten for this “belt”!!
i think prettyCOWARD FLOYD is a greatest stupid boxer of all time”’
ONLY THE WEATHER FANS WONT WATCH THE PAC MARGA BOUT …BUT SURELY THEY WILL WATCH ON TV….WISHING PAC WILL LOSS THIS FIGHT..SO THAT FLOYD CAN COME OUT…
RAW YOU GOOD !!!FLOYD DEFEAT MOSTLY HEHEHE!!!!HOW MANY STARS DID JUNIOR GOT?????TO CLOSE..IF IT WAS PACMAN WHO PUNCH HIM LIKE THAT IT WONT BE 1234 COMBO ONLY…WEW!!!!!!!!BETTER NOT TO SIGN THE CONTRACT ..PACMAN WILL BE NO MERCY IF THIS FIGHT HAPPEN AFTER ALL WHAT THEY SAID TO HIM HAHAAHA! THIS ALSO THE REASON WHY SENIOR WONT LET HIS SON FIGHT PAC…BETTER GO ON A VACATION PLANT CORN….
IT IS TRUE THAT JUNIOR IS NOT UNDERDOG TO MANNY . FIRST REASON HE IS AN AMERICAN….AND AMERICAN SUPPORTS HIM BECAUSE HIS OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST..ON THE OTHER SIDE. THAT’S ALSO REASON WHY JUNIOR WONT FIGHT PAC HE MIGHT BE PUT ON GREAT SHAME..IF HE GET KO…..PLSSS UNDERSTAND JUNIOR..
CALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!FLOYD JUNJUN!!!TO FIGHT PACMAN………!!!!!!!!!!GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahaha! im telling you guys even they will drink a gallons of steroid they will not become like pacquiao…….even margarito cheats this fight he will not win..I HAVE SEEN MARGARITO VS GARCIA…MARGAS TONGUE IS OUT…WHAT MORE ON PACMAN..AT LEAST MARGA IS BRAVE UNLIKE JUNIOR..AVOIDED COTTO AND MARGA..
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! DAVE LAHR WIL JINX PAC’S WIN!!!! ALL HIS PREDICTIONS ARE ALWAYS THE OPPOSITE!!!!!!!!WHY OH WHY DID HE DECIDE TO PREDICT PAC WILL WIN!!THIS IS MADNESS!!!PLS GO BACK TO YOUR OWN WAYS AND DISS PAC AGAIN USING YOUR FUNNY ANTICS!!I JUST LOVE THEM!!!PLS!!!PLS!!!!PLS!!!!!
I don’t think pacman will be fully focused when he enters the ring with Margarito. I don’t think it’s wise to be focusing on Mayweather when he haves a Mexican fighter who wants to redeem himself. I hope Margarito comes to fight like he did against Cotto, if he does packman is in big trouble.
this will be an entertaining fight…..barbaric even…..i love the sweet science and all…..but a lot of boxing fans are blood thirsty and this is what they want…..a freakin war
@MrRomero: Ronald really said that??? DAMN!! Well I was in Tijuana the other day and saw a donkey on one of the side streets, under the donkey I saw something that somewhat looked like a woman getting hammered by the donkey. As I got closer, I realized it was ROMERO dressed in drag, like Oscar Dela Hoya was. Get the picture???? CLOWN!!!!
@realistic
It was me who answered your question below, sorry new computer, name field wasn’t auto-completed.

@FLA
Two points, to barge in.
1) If Margarito doesn’t get a license in the USA, they will fight in Mexico or Abu Dabi. The only risk would be the kill fee to Jerry Jones if he has to pull out of the Cowboy Stadium deal he’s aiming for.
2) What were you saying about Mosley before? Were you being sarcastic calling him old? If you were, then you also think Manny is better than Shane? I just wanted to make sure, because you said, if and “OLD” Mosley can beat Margarito, imagine what Manny can do.
Personally I do think Mosley is not in his prime, but he was a game fighter against Floyd who just got taken to school by a far superior specimen.
I also see Floyd as a hair past his prime, though. Manny has the job of proving he’s still in top form, and he’ll have his hands full against Margarito, who won’t shell up like how Clottey did. Interesting how the top two CompuBox outputs were against Clottey, and by Margarito and Pacquiao.
There’s no way either of these cats set any CompuBox records against one another though, as that would require one to be hiding the whole fight. Not going to happen. Someone’s getting KO’d and it’s probably Margarito.
…ryan
@realistic
YOU ASKED: “i just want to know what will pacman gain for beating someone that got his head knocked off by mosley?”
Manny will gain millions in purse guarantee for the fight, and millions more if the fight sells. If he wins he will stay where he’s at in popularity, and have a handful more millions to spend while waiting for Floyd.
We fans will see an exciting fight that Manny will likely win, but that Margarito doesn’t deserve, that’s the real story here.
…ryan
Everyone except Floyd is a an underdog to Manny(to bad he won’t fight). I do think this will be a fun fight to watch and will be far more intertaining than the Clottey fight. Let’s not forget that Manny is still small for a welter and it’s not his fault he has to fight monsters to keep it somewhat competitive.
Holy Cow! Say it ain’t so. David Lahr actually is predicting Many to win this one!
if margarito fights pac the way he fought clottey, it will be one hell of a fight.
to all guys out there who got to learn boxing just a few minutes ago, marg has the record of the most number of punches thrown in a fight, pac’s record is second only and they did it against a common opponent, clottey. so if marg will face pac the way he faced clottey, then i believe arum is right…
to all loyal pakman supporters, why don’t we put PEDs on t-shirt…

FLA my brother, and I’m a bro so decorum permits my calling a nigga a nigga
Like I said before…ain’t no nigga fighta worth a damn around these days. Look at Alexander, expoxed by a has been in Kotelnik and gifted a decision. Bradley, puleeze, he all muscle but can’t recruit any muscle fibers to launch a solid punch even if his life depended on it. Ward, he lunges with his head, grab and hold. Dirrel is an embarrasment, run and pot shot and goes into a pretend seizure when the sht gets too thick. Berto, that nigga lost to Collazo and already a has been with torn bicept and pectoralis minor tendons due to excess roid usage in training. The Golden Boy was in golden slumber from Pirog, who is known as the Ruskie experiment for known ped usage. And as noted earlier, PW should man up and fight mofos his own size.
i don’t think so. pacman’s most grueling fight was against morales when he last lost. this fight will be more like the cotto fight although it could end earlier. pac’s next fight will be against paul williams, hello paul. and that’s when mayweather will be a genie in a bottle. for how long? one thousand years???
typical arum trying to sell a pointless fight
TheQuietStorm
You make very sound points! I don’t think I’ve seen Pac mad before. Frankly, I wouldn’t want to.
Rito is going up in weight. Will he be slower than DLH when he fought Manny? Yess sir. Manny is going to beat Rito worse then Rito beat Cotto. Is that Karma? Call it what you want but I see it being a sure fire good old fashion ass whooping. Manny is about to turn into the thug monster. He’s mad because he can’t get his fight with Floyd. He’s mad at Arum and Roach for taking advantage of the situation. He’s mad that he has to hear everyone talk about steroids. He’s also mad because he knows its going to take 3 to 5 fights to get paid what he should in 1 fight with FLOYD. He’s going to eat Margarito’s face come fight night.
Antonio’s Musing
History also states that he was busted for plaster. He has no power and hasn’t looked good in the ring for nearly 2 years, he’s attempting to box for the first time ever (think Ricky Hatton) and he has no technical skills as an alternative to having no power. He is dead meat. He won’t see past the 10th.
An old, washed up, overly hyped, POS, old, old, old, old, 38 year old, old, grandpa, old sugar, past his best, a shell of his former self, and an overly trained and slow Shane Mosley just beat him. I’m sure I can think of more names to down play him since Mayweather just in fact beat him. I mean, of course Mosley sucks. Mayweather beat him right? It wasn’t Mayweather’s skills at all…..So if an OLD, slow Mosley can beat Margarto what do you think Pac would do?
This is an in-house, made to look good fight that maximizes Arum’s profit! Pac gets a KO and a title at a catchweight with very little threat. The fight should be Cotto vs Margarito! While Pac could be facing plenty of others!
@ NINJA
“Gotta prove you’re worthy man! JMM beat the Crack Man twice no matter what you say!”.
AHH, LAST TIME I LOOKED PACQUIAO HAD THE (W) NEXT TO HIS NAME IDIOT! AND ALSO, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY YOU FOOL!
ALSO, WHY YOU CALL HIM CRACKMAN, FLOYDS BEEN ROUND CRACK ALL HIS LIFE??? FACT!
AND IT WAS THOSE CRACKHEADS THAT SAY PACQUIAO IS ON DRUGS!
News: Mayweather just lost Yahoo’s #1 spot for pound for pound rankings…
Arum is known to pay people off to get his way. Margarito will have his license to fight one way or another IMO. It’s clear as day that Arum wants to keep the fight in house to protect Manny and his money. Why else would he have a deadline of November for Pac to fight and pick a fighter that doesn’t even have a license yet gave Floyd a “deadline” of July to disagree to what they were supposed to “agree” too from May 1st proposal. Yet nothing is final yet and still no license but Floyd has a deadline and no contract stating that they IN FACT “agreed” to everything like they keep claiming… What does Floyd do? He goes on vacation because of this… bad for him but, can you blame him when Arum was never serious to make the fight? It’s clear because he’s picking a guy with no license when there are PLENTY of others out there that are more deserving and actually have a license!
I hope they decline Margarito and I hope Arum bribes someone and gets busted for it (again). If this fight doesn’t get made then maybe they will focus on “agreeing” to fight Mayweather. Draw up a contract; sign it stating that they agree to 40%/45% and random OST. Prove they want the fight with a pen and paper. Then we the fans of the sport can wait for Floyd to come out of “hiding”.
Forget about Margarito who hasn’t looked good in nearly two years, lost his power/plaster, is attempting to box for the first time in his career, has no license, has no speed, has no technical abilities and only relied on his power and endurance in the past to win fights. We know he “lost” that power, got KO’ed by a 38 year old and will surely be destroyed before 10 fighting Pac.
Berto, JMM, Bradley, Alexander, Mosley, Martinez, Pwill would drop everything they’re doing I bet to fight with Pac.
Mayweatehr can be a bytch. But I think a pen and paper with a signed contract from May 1st proposal would prove me wrong!
Three years ago, Margo was the king of the division
Three years ago, Pac was knocking hall of famers out in the lower weights
Three years ago before the diaz or odl fight, you would be considered insane to think that Pacman can even step in the ring against the Tijuana Tornado.
Three years has passed, the king now is Pacman, and let it be written that the unjustly persecuted former king, Margarito, will redeem Mexican boxing by reclaiming the throne and be the Once and Future King of Boxing.
Anybody who don’t think this is Pacman toughest test don’t know sht about boxing or its history.
The time off for Margo is just as good for him as it woulda been for Cotto had Cotto took some time off after both fought each other as both got damaged as evident in the subsequent beatdown to Margo with a roided Mosley.
Pacquiao is the new king of the hill everyone else falls behind him including mayweather.
If I remember corectly, mayweather said “I’m back in boxing to RECLAIM the throne. By saying that mayweather acknowledged pacquiao’s ranking position in boxing.
Dan Petrocelli et al submitted the gauze insert to Cal Tech Material science lab and using standard harness analysis, scientist there did not detect any difference in the hardness of said insert when tested with controls.
That is to say, even if Capetillo purposely sprayed extra CaSO4 onto the insert, it would not have achieved any extra hardness to the wraps.
Ain’t no way for Margo to detect the difference as all trainers can attest to.
Let me ‘learn’ you floydiots something about fixing fights and cheating fighters.
The greatest cheat of them all was Mosley, who fought ODL literally high of epo, the cream, the masking steroid/testo and Conte’s special blend known as Rocket Fuel for people in the know.
He was back on da Juice in the Margarito fight when his ageing body and diminshed reflexes could not deal with Cotto and barely survived with an old has been in Mayorga.
I hate mexicans too. They should all be deported back to their wasteland.
Yea, I am tired of PAC beating the life out of dirty Mexicans. He should fight British or Irish drunker only.
This Pac-Margarito fight will be a FIXED FIGHT, just like Pac-Clottey was a FIXED FIGHT too.
@Anonomous, first of all The Crack Man is asking for 50/50.
Sorry Bud, I hate to break this to ya, but y’aint gonna get it!
Crack Man thinks the exact same deal he walked away from will be extended to him again. T’aint gonna happen!
Until the Crack Man falls in place and somehow finds his place in the “Pecking Order”, the big payday will elude him!
Gotta prove you’re worthy man! JMM beat the Crack Man twice no matter what you say!
@Anonymous
I’m not saying he should fight Mosley.. I’m saying the excuse that Mosley just lost is stupid because Margarito just lost to Mosley! By KO! Honestly if he’s not fighting Mayweather he should be be fighting Berto… There’s opposition at 140, but if he says he doesn’t want to fight at that weight it’s understandable… If he’s going up in weight why not fight someone established at that weight not coming off a loss and a bad looking performance? Because it would be a challenge…
You know I hope the fight is straight.You never know though,Pacquiao is the golden child of Arums camp.But another thing you must consider is,Arum is putting up the cash for the fight if Pacquiao wins or loses Arum does not. So, I don’t think this fight will be fixed,considering he promotes both fighters.
@ trickster12 …you will be disapointed cos it is a fix like the clottey fight. 2 “in house” fighters. watch the fights more closely and you will see his opponent holding back-like the clottey fight and like mayweather mosley!!
@SkillsWinFights
i could not have said it better myself!!
Arum and Margarito will not see any of my hard earned cash. Shame on those who let thmselves be conned by Bob Arum and his BS matchmaking.
@Anonymous
Margarito isn’t fighting at 147 anymore. If he was comfortable at that class he’d stay there. Instead he’s at 154 and making him go down to 150 isn’t a HUGE deal but it does affect him physically. Team Pac, as usual, is doing whatever it takes to gain the most advantages as possible even if they’re small. If or when Pac beats Marg, fine, Manny can say he’s better than Marg. But I’m willing to bet tons of money Pac will not challenge the real 154 elites like Angulo, Kirkland, PWill, and Sergio Martinez. Seems like Pac wants to go after the weakest link who has somewhat of name in each weight class.
@ ninja
why the F**k does manny have to fight JMM again? hes beaten him twice! (the only reason the first fight was a draw was because one judge incorrectly scored. he admitted that!)
whoose bradley? whoose he beaten? the guy has no power!
maranda! why?
mosley? pac wants the guy that beat mosley! MAYWEATHER, but hes on vacation REMEMBER!
@wow
yeah and if he fought mosley and koed him you’d just say some BS like “floyd just beat him” etc..
i dont understand how people cab claim margarito as “weight drained”.
hes a 147lb fighter and the catchweight is at 150lb?!
go figure!
Funny people… Pacman should face Margarito and not Mosley bcuz Mosley jus got beat down by Mayweather… Didn’t Margarito jus get beat down and knocked out by Mosley?! Ha you guys are hilarious!
It would be a great thing for boxing should Cheato deliver a SEVER beatdown to the Crackman. From that point there would never again be a “Catchweight” and the Crackman would have to fight the fighters he;s avoided in order to regain respect.
1) JMM
2) Mosely
3) Bradley
3) Maidana
And then potentially Mayweather. There is no way Mayweather would grant the Crackman a large payday follwing a loss to Cheato.
i agree with dey c
since the oscar fight he hasnt taken a great fight, hatton, marquez are pants and mosely is old.
DAVE LAHR,CHRIS WILLIAMS,AND JASON KIM WILL BE REMEMBERED WHEN MARGARITOVSPACMAN FIGHT HAPPENS because there in for the shock of there life!!!!!!!!im gonna make sure i dogg yall out after the fight just for being stupid
You and your grandpa can fight Margarito together in the ring and probably end up in death(grandpa) and a coma(you).Really man are you serious.
HELL….
This fight is MUCH BETTER than wathing the self-proclaimed P4P Mayweather do JACK SH#T…!!!
Don’t you think so too?
If not, there’s nothing more to say.
This fight will not materialize.
The California and Texas Commissions will not grant license to
Margarito.
But Manny will begin training shortly in preparation for
Mayweather . The fight will happen mid 2011 or early 2012.
I THINK MARGO IS WAY TO BIG FOR PAQ, BUT MARGO WONT BE ABLE TO HANDLE MANYS SPEED & POWER PUNCHES. IF MARGO BY ANY CHANCE FINDS A WAY TO CONECT COMBOS THEN HE HAS A CHANCE.
BOBO: IF FIGHTING MOSLEY MAKES NO SENSE CAUSE FLOYD JUST BEAT HIM, THEN WHAT SENSE DOES IT MAKE FOR PAC TO FIGHT MARG SINCE SHANE JUST KO’D HIM?
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS FIGHT BUT NO WAY I’M PAYING FOR IT. I CAN’T PUT MONEY IN PLASTER HANDS’ POCKETS & I DISAGREE W/ THIS FIGHT BEING FOR A BELT. I DO THINK IT WILL BE AN EXCITING FIGHT FOR A WHILE THOUGH. PAC WILL KO MARGO AROUND 10TH OR 11TH.
Margarito will come forward and throw a ton of punches against Pac but that isn’t going to make it competitive when Marg has no speed and power (w/o loaded gloves).
I can’t stress this enough. This fight will look like Pac-Oscar. Marg’s chin will make the fight last only a round or two longer. Pac TKO in 11th.
I HAVE NO WORDS WHEN I HEAR NONE-SENSE, WHEN FOR ONE BAD FIGHT YOU CAN JUDGE A FIGHTER FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO TURN IN A INCREDIBLE FIGHT, FOR THE CARACTERISTICS THAT WE ALL KNOW,THE PERSONALITIES OF THEY TWO,FOR THE ENTIRE MEANINGS OF THIS FIGHTS.
TOO THINK OR SAY THAT PAQUIAO WILL WALK OVER MARGARITO , IS WRONG ALL THE WAY WRONG I WONT PREDICT BECAUSE PREDICTIONS FAIL ALL THE TIME, BUT IF I HAVE TO PREDICT, I DO THINK AND FEEL THAT MARGARITO IS GOING TO MAKE THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE , MARGARITO HAS MUCH MORE TO FIGHT FOR THAT PAQUIAO HAS NOW,MUCH MORE IN PLAY, AND MUCH MORE TO GAIN.
I THINK BUT NOT PREDICT, THAT MARGARITO WILL BE TOO BIG,TOO MUCH CHIN, TOO LONG, TOO MUCH HEART, TOO MUCH FOR PAQUIAO TOO OVERCOME, ITS HARD FOR ME TO THINK THAT PAQUIAO WILL BEAT OR WORSE KNOCK MARGO, I DONT SEE IT HAPPENING, POSSIBLE YES, LIKE IS POSSIBLE MARGO KNOCKS PAQUIAO I SEE IT MORE ACHIVEBALE , I SEE PAQUIAO COMING AS ALWAYS LITTLE BIT OVERCONFIDENCE WHEN SEES AND HEARS ALL ABOUT MARGO VS MOSLEY, WITH A FALSE VIEW AND FALSE HOPES, MARGO WILL COME MORE THAN READY WITH MORE HUNGER, TAHN EVER, SAME HE ALWAYS BEEN WAITING FOR OPORTUNYTIES HE WAS DENIED SOO MANY YEARS BUT WAS PATIENT, NOW IS IN THE SAME POSITION , FEELING THAT HIS CARRIER WAS OVER AFTER THE SCANDAL, AND COMING BACK FORM FAR BEHIND WILL MOTIVATE MARGO TO PULL UP A WIN, I THINK ONE THINK FOR SURE MARGO IS COMING NOT TO RUN, HIDE, USE T6OO MUCH STRATEGY BUT TO FIGHT, HE HAS AND WONT HAVE FEAR SOMETHING THAT PAQUIAO IS BEEN HAVING AS AN ADVENTAGE IN AVERY SINGLE FIGHT SINCE MARQUEZ WHO NEVER FEARED PAQUIAO, I THINK MARGARITO WILL WIN CLEAR AND LOUD. BUT NO PREDICTION JUST THINK, TIME WILL TELL.
Coward Mayweather where is he…afraid of Manny the true P4P
Dave Lahr, the no. 1 Kool Aid Drinker, you are back trying to condescent on the Pac – as usual – by saying that outside the Philippines, there is not much interest on this Marg-Pac fight. How sure are you? How about in Mexico, the large population of latinos, and Filipinos as well as other Oriental groups here in the US? Pac commands a large fans out of these groups. Are these Pac fans not outside the Philippines or are they in the Philippines? These shows how blinded you are everytime you write an article that has something to do with Pacman. Useless and futile attempt as usual, to condescend on pac and upgrade your paying-master Weeder. In fairness, though, I agree 70% of your above article.
im not trying to be negative i just want to know what will pacman gain for beating someone that got his head knocked off by mosley? this fight is a waste of time to me and why would we help support someone like margarito he is a bottom feading cheater, he is less then a man. he will not get any of my money!! this is just a terrible fight
a very risky fight for Pac.Margarito will have something to prove to himself and everyone else,so he will be hard to beat as per usual.An upset is a possibility.
the pressure from shane mosely proved to be another downfall for margarito. pacquiao brings moor and can possibly hit harder than mosely, when he chooses. the decision will go to paq from the mid to late rounds.
This fight will be more explosive than PAC-FMJ where Floyd will be running away from Pac all night. PAC-MARGO bring it on. It will be WAR!
maywether said he not only wants to fight pacquiao,but he wants to whip his punk ass!! to me its manny that is denying the fans the fight by refuseing the rbt and the smaller purse % due to ppv# so it is manny that is the no-show we all as fans can be happy if manny and arum stop ther nonsense and fight maywether in the ring instead of fighting floyd with a smear campaign in the media!!! one thing is true though i do think the margarito fight may be interesting since they are both cheaters,the only winner in this fight is arum he keeps getting richer while manny loses more and more fans due to the bad fight choices his camp keeps making and all this to avoid maywether and the testing. the real issue is they are scared of what said test would reveal!!!!
this is crazy…we all know this will be a win for Pacquiao…way to fast for Margarito to see…lol
Pacmans been in his fair share of wars already but Margarito was seen as a good strong opponant for anybody until the Plaster issue and Mosley smashing him. He will come into this fight very very hungry.
There aint many people outside this website who are moaning about it like you read about on here. But then with some of the clear Pacman haters and their silly anti Pacman names your guna get complaints about anything to do with him.
Is this another Bob Arum inhouse match up where we know the plan is for Pacman to win? Yes it is.
Is it a bad fight? No i dont see what makes it bad.
im just disappointed that pacman and mayweather are not fighting its bullsh*t mayweather needs to man up and fight!
He must not have seen Marquez and Manny battle it out… but then again he can’t admit they were his best fights because there would be no excuse for a 3rd fight.
Yo Arum, Freddie The Joke and Crackman…
Are you having a difficult selling this fight are ya?
You had better sell more than the projected 400,000 PPV buys!
The Crackman Camp is in deep doodoo!
Two warriors in th ring, this fight will be a joy for the fans who like to see two guys TRYING to knock each other out.Their will be no running and holding in this fight,just good clean hard punches.I will pay to watch this one.
One indisputable fact
Mayweather dodged Magarito at 147 pounds or higher,
Pacquiao didn’t.
The facts speak for themselves.
im not paying for this b#llsh$t fight. im not giving arum my dollars.
