Pac says..."he knew" !!!

[erics44]

He/Top Rank know what they are doing and he was definitely told to say that. Adds more publicity to a fight no one wanted to see.

i want to see the fight

[ElTerribleMorales]

YAWN. This fight is wrong on too many levels. No one wants to see it, and Margacheato shouldn't be getting the payday. This right here shows you why the UFC is taking over boxing's niche

not really, Sean Sherk was found to have used steroids, how was he punished? a suspension followed up with a title fight against BJ Penn

Thats true, but to be fair, Penn kicked his sorry ass like a little kid ! He got what he deserved

yea but that's no different from what's going to happen to Margarito, only difference is that the UFC pays their fighters peanuts even in title fights (unless their high profile fighter, which Sherk isn't), and Margarito is gonna easily earn something in the 7 digits area

Yea, i agree with ya, unfortunately Margacheato will earn from this, but it will be relative to what he has always earned, same as the UFC fighters. Im just hoping he gets KTFO by Manny for the privilage of his purse.

Margarito wasn't earning anywhere close to what he's going to get against Pacquiao, this is going to be his biggest payday by quite a wide margin, that's what is so fucked up about the situation, the guy cheats in the worst way possible in a fight sport, gets a suspension, then rewarded with a career high payday, utter bullshit

[:::PSL:::]

Paquiao really does make me fucking sick.

He got you knocked up again ey?

[Hornfinger]

Pacquiao or his dumb fuck fans CAN NOT take the moral high ground on any fighter or athlete. End of story.

Margarito does not deserve this pay day. He didn't look good in his last fight against a journeyman and Shane stopped him in the fight before. Not to mention, even giving him the benefit of the doubt, which I personally don't, he allows people on his team to wrap his hands with concrete. Moreover, has never said anything bad about Cepitillo. He just blames him. He should have come down a lot harder on him. Said it was bad for the sport and that he should be banned for life. It makes you wonder... If there is one person who doesn't deserve this fight, it's Margarito. The only reason Margarito is getting this fight is because he is a Top Rank fighter and the only well-known available Mexican fighter at or around that weight and Mexicans will buy the ppv and spend money on tickets in Texas. Berto and Bradley deserved it more, but they aren't Arum's fighters, and they aren't Mexican.

All that said, Margarito has a chance to spoil the Pac/Mayweather clash. He is much bigger than Pacquiao and has a much longer reach. He's coming in at a comfortable weight for him - he'll probably outweigh Manny by 15-20 pounds at the time of the fight. Plus, Manny is not a strong puncher at that weight. I can see Pacquiao not being able to keep Margarito off him for twelve rounds.

This is a the toughest test for Pac north of Super Featherweight. And Someone said this will be worse than the Clottey fight. NO WAY. Marg throws twice as many punches. Pac will get hit too, it's just a matter of what he can handle.

I still don't see Marg winning this in any way unless it's an earlier knockout. I say that, but Marg comes on pretty strong down the stretch in his fights.

I don't think it's a publicity stunt for him to say "he knew...". Is it not possible this is just what Pac thinks, and it's ONE person's opinion? I' am glad he stepped up and confronted the issue. But he doesn't care about the drama, as long as the playing field is equal.

I'm not upset about the matchup at all. I think it will be an action fight.

Margo is getting the fight because Arum promotes him. Last 2 pac fights Arum didn't have to split the profit. Pac can fight anyone right now and do good numbers.

i see margarito pressuring pacquiao like he's never been pressured before, and it's going to play into margarito's hands. so anyone who thinks this is a gimme fight for pacquiao is sadly mistaken to say the least. whether margarito deserves this fight nor now, it's a done deal so get over it. margarito served his one year suspension and deserves this fight because the state of texas has licensed him.

even not considering his questionable behavior, he is allowed to fight because Texas licensed him, but he doesn't deserve the fight. he lost to shane, was suspended for a year, and he looked garbage against a journeyman. and now he has the chance to fight the top fighter in the game? how does that make sense?

and to the wrapping scandal, margarito's story that he didn't know what his trainer was doing would have been lot more believeable if he had shown surprise and then anger toward the trainer. but, he didn't show any anger. and it seemed like he fired him only so he could continue his career. that doesn't show the proper respect for the sport at least not from an innocent man. he didn't ask the trainer if the trainer had done it in his past fights or anyting. he tried to sweep it under the rug. no remorse. .

[amat]

Mil that's fine you feel that this fight is fine but I hope you never bother coming down hard on a fighter for picking and choosing opponents, especially ones who just don't deserve the chance. Margarito doesn't deserve the chance. This fight is a crime against the sport, the fact that he fought anywhere outside of California is terrible much less against the top fighter in the sport.

[milmascaras1]

look, nobody knows if margarito was lying or not. WE WEREN'T THERE! and the reason margarito is getting this fight is because he sells tickets because of the large hispanic population in texas! boxing's a business so this fight was made. look, we can cry and stomp our feet all we want but the fact is this, margarito is going to fight pacquiao and has a great chance of beating pacquiao. if joshua clottey marked up pacquiao without throwing many punches, margarito is going to be an absolute nightmare for pacquiao. that's why pacquiao's fans are against this fight because margarito is a clear and present danger.

the only reason Margarito is selling tickets for this fight is due to the controversy of him being a cheat, people want to see him get his ass stomped, and well 9 times out of 10 that's whats gonna happen against Pacquiao, if Mosley who doesn't throw as much nor has the speed, movement, or stamina of Pacquiao was able to overwhelm and keep Margarito at bay and confused, well Pacquiao is going to have a field day, Clottey might throw one punch at a time yet even he has better speed than Margarito

[Hornfinger]

they're both cheating bastards. who gives a fuck.
