    The Event? Are you serious The Event?

    "Gin and juice" or something would have been better.

    Excellent news, they know Clottey is a dangerous opponent so this is worth it. This fight makes sense in my opinion, a lot of people picked Clottey over Cotto in that fight, A LOT of them(myself not included, had Cotto by one point), it would be a very good fight if Pac takes on him and beats him decisively. I don't expect a KO but a masterful 12 round UD for Pac.

    Very good fight, very dangerous one too.

    Don't then, I sure as hell will. This isn't a popularity contest, it's a sport. When our P4P#1 fights, WHOEVER, real fans of the sport will sure as hell tune in. We won't get another Pacquiao when he's gone, that I assure you.

    True, I'm going back and forth on this one. I had Clottey as winner against Cotto and still think he was the better of the two that night.

    The Event?

    :roll:

    I dont know, its kinda sad to me how bad Arum is trying to push how 'big' this fight is... give me a break. Solid opponent, solid fight, but all this 'biggest fight of the year, huge event' crap is really pathetic.

    Oh God, you know what that means, Clottey will be winning the fight 4 rounds to 2 and get stopped on cuts, and now the whole arena will assume he came out victorious because he won the "event"
