I Honestly hope everything goes wrong with Pac/Margacheato

[Beanflicker]

This is going to be another emo thread but bear with me. I love the sport of boxing, and even though there are fighters I like and dislike, I always wish everyone the best. I hate seeing people seriously getting hurt, I hate seeing shows doing bad and people losing money, ect. I like seeing these guys get paid extremely well for the risks they take. I love when everything is rosey in boxing.

Even though I'm used to boxing being a slimey sport largely void of morals, with the mighty dollar being king, this fight still pisses me off. Margacheato disgraced the sport with his cheating, and negatively effected careers of past opponents with this cheating (if you think that was the first time Margacheato tried to cheat I think you're incredibly niave). Who knows what permanent damage he did to guys using those wraps in the past.

The fact that less than 2 years after being caught, not only is he allowed to fight but the very first fight he gets back in America is a HUGE PPV extravaganza against the biggest star in boxing outside of PBF is disgusting. This fight epitomizes everything thats rotten about boxing. Hearing these god damn schiesters using propaganda about Manny having a bad training camp and getting whipped by Khan in training to trick people into believing that this is going to be a compeditive fight makes me sick.

I LEGITIMATLY hope that this fight goes bad for everyone involved. I hope Arum and whoever else involved loses money on this turkey (not likely, but I can hope can't I). I hope Margarito suffers an injury in this fight, and is unable to fight again. I hope Manny looks like shit in this fight and his star/bargaining power diminishes.

Im sorta with you up until the hoping it overall does poorly part. If it helps boxing, then Im okay with that. But I too hope Margarito gets smashed to bits and am angry that he is even in a professionally sanctioned fight, period. Let alone a match of this significance. Being given the opportunity to be the one to beat the man. wtf? anyone but him imo.

I stop short on wishing anything bad for Manny. The guy is a great ambassador for the sport, always has been and just does his job. Fights whoever is put in front of him.

Nice sentiments but should still be a decent battle. Guy at my gym couldnt stop talking about the Khan/Pacman sparring session seems to think Khans a contender now.

Morally, this fight is wrong in everyway. Team Pac see it that way too. The main reason they accepted this fight because of financial standpoint (fuckin whores) .

I'd be hypocrite if say this fight doesn't bring excitement.

[erics44]

you cant get too pissed off about these things if you are a boxing fan

lots of fighters have been drug cheats and continued to get massive paydays, mosley, rjj, toney, holyfield

whats the difference?

it would not shock me one bit if accusations over pac were true and 10 other big name boxers got caught too

it will be an exciting fight, although the all british heavyweight clash on the same night is bigger

They shouldn't be fighting Margarito, and on that level I hope Margarito beats him.

As the best fighter in the world, the best you can come up with is a known cheater in the stable of your own promoter? Well, as the the best you have the right to refuse and ask for more. Pac chose to go with it, so where there is no morality I will go for the underdog.

Pac can smile all he wants, but he has chosen to step into the ring with a cheater because it will make the promoter more money. He might turn out to be good at politics.

I am on the fence about this one. I hope the fight fails because anything with Margarito in it deserves nothing. He should've been banned for life not rewarded with a career high payday against the boxing icon Pacquiao. Margarito actually gained and was essentially not punished. Arum is a scumbag so I don't want him to succeed for putting this farce of a show on to load his pockets. Pacquiao should've stood up against this one instead of being a good ol boy doing what he is always told by Arum. I'd like to see Pac crush Margarito into retirement but maybe the only way boxing will learn is by a hard lesson and maybe it best for Margarito to brutally win and push Pac into retirement leaving boxing no star to draw from and forever closing the door on the superfight Pac/PBF. I hope the real boxing fans do not buy this fight and send the message that we will not accept a fighter getting rewarded after having committed the worse possible cheat in sports. Even Barry Bonds was blackballed from baseball for steroids. Margarito suspiciously nearly tore off a guys ear, broke a guys eye socket, had Cotto bleeding from every opening in his face, and without conscience was attempting to do the same to Mosley. If you must watch just jack it on one of the many free streams. MARGARITO NEEDS BOYCOTTED!

You can blame it on the Jews Miles, Arum is one and so is Ross Greenburg, the president of HBO Sports.
