    well...the drama has been sold... "pac might lose"!

    nah.. they are just going to get more people to order a fight that normally they wouldn't in thinking pac is going to destroy margarito.

    without this drama of "pac might lose to margarito the beast"....it would be another clottey type fight....with even fewer ppv buys. some people really don't give a **** about this fight...some don't want to support margarito. but with the drama of pac might lose...it sells it.

    enjoy it while it lasts, because this is probabley pacmans last fight, if he does not get mayweather to sign a contract to fight, he will call it a day and dive into congress full time.

    There's no denying, those distractions are real.

    Same story everytime. There might be some extra distractions. They show is made like this to make the fight more interesting.

    I feel bad for Manny. Because my money will fly away. Man, why did he have to relax at this part of his career.

    He does seem to have let the fame get to his head. He spouts off a lot more about his accomplishments and generally is more cocky than ever. He will lose soon if he keeps fighting. I think he'll blow Marg away but can see an upset if he has lost a step, or 2. Once a fighter starts believing what they're writing and saying about him, that's the day he begins the downward spiral.

    Nah, they're just hyping the fight. That's for sure.

    If Pacquiao has a perfect training camp on camera, he has a 90% chance of victory. If he was a less than perfect camp, he has a 60% chance of victory. What is more marketable: a competitive fight, or a non-competitive fight?

    my guess is pac is a bit unfocused...maybe is a little off....but im sure they are playing it up.

    The rumors are always like this before a Pac fight.

    When you compare the 24/7 show for Cotto vs the 24/7 for Margarito, it was about the same. Pacquiao was getting banged up by Shawn Porter in the 1st 2 episodes and then looking great in the next 2.

    The 3rd episode should tell us a lot.

    i dunno, there has to be some truth to it. You hear Freddy Roach talking about it a lot. I could see Margo's size being a problem. He's going to be huge. Just look how small Manny looked in front of Clottey. Now imagine a 6 ft dude at junior middle. I can't see Pac hurting Margo either. He's gonna have to use his feet and box him like he did DLH.
