    Virtually everything in life is about the $. If it sells an extra 50k PPV's, of course.

    Man, and this stuff really works on the Casual fan's mind. For example, i was watching 24/7 with my little brother ( 10 yrs. old) and he said at the end "man, i think Margarito is gonna beat his ass." Some people are gonna be disappointed come November 13

    Pac's gonna slow down sooner or later people. His prime and dominance will not last forever. That said, I think he'll whoop Marg inside 6 rounds, but there is a feeling of an upset here.

    The purpose of the show is to sell the fight. Pitching it as a potential upset is going to do a lot more for them than to tell everyone it's a mismatch.

    Well no. You know they edit the video and can just show the good parts of his sparring partner.

    Or

    The other possibility is you know...money talks my man

    Not sure if serious.

    Anyway, if Pac keeps fighting, what you said will happen eventually so if you aren't being serious than it's pretty dumb sarcasm.

    Margo's trainer has that giant ass body pad on so Margo can hit him hard, Roach only wears the light padding because he is only planning on a light session with manny for the cameras.

    Every single clip they showed of pac was bad:lol: That is such a joke, I mean I will watch it anyways but its all bull****.

    yes, obviously. they are just trying to sell the fight. it's like that movie "the great white hype". just watch what happens on fight night though.
