PAC-MARGO in Abu-DHABI

[ross]

Ha ha! I said this would happen!

Its because Margarito along with Cotto are the only opponents that wont ask for random testing because they are Arum fighters.

No doubt the promoter is a major factor in setting conditions for accepting a fight, but.......

Margarito asking for random testing? Please. He could be promoted by Mother Theresa and would still be in no position to ask for ANY conditions. That would be a bit like Don King requesting a criminal background check on fighters before he agreed to promote them. Marga-cheato is in no position to ask for JACK. On the contrary, he should be so grateful he's getting handed a free pass to a championship fight, HE'S the one who would probably agree to any conditions Pacquiao's camp wants to impose.

Cotto, on the other hand, routinely removes himself from everything except preparing for the fight itself. No posturing, no grandstanding, in short..... no "Mayweathering".

I hope this isn't true, horrible for boxing if it is.

This is horribly wrong for boxing. The guys commits the worse cheat in all of sports and will get rewarded with a record payday. What did the suspension do? He will make up any money, and more, he lost sitting idle for that year. I don't wish an ill will on anyone in the ring no matter what so I can only just hope Pac KOs the worst cheat in the sport. I like Pac but I will not support Margarito at all so I will not buy this one or anything with Margarito in it.

I never pay for any fights i haven't for years, i just think its pointless. With all the streams and download links, unless your going there live to watch it. I don't see the point in spending any money at all.

Rumours have it this is going to be fought at a catchweight. Surprise, surprise. Anything to add an advantage to Manny.

well here boxing is a family thing, so on huge fights that we really want to see we order the PPV (which is maybe about 3 or 4 times a year), and now well we basically just split up the bill so it's not as bad, and well we basically have a bbq and so on with the whole family lol, only fights we ordered this year were Vazquez Jr Vs Sonsona and Mayweather Vs. Mosley, if Lopez Vs. R. Marquez ends up on PPV (and not showtime) well we'll order it, same goes with Cotto/Mayweather

Pacquiao will be way too elusive for Margarito. This will probably be even worse then the Clottey fight a few months ago.
