Margo is slow like everyone that Pac has fought in the recent past, and with the exception of Clottey also a very poor defensive fighter. Like the rest Margo is there to make Pac look good. I dont really see what advantage HBO would gain by tring to make Pac look bad, I think what this is, is Pac fans starting to think that Margo has a good shot in this fight and tring to push those feeling on HBO as tring to make Pac look bad. Fear not Margo is too slow to trouble Pac too much, and he will follow him around the ring and eat shots all night long. Like I said another guy that is going to stand in front of a much faster Pac and let him get off first, he is only there to make him look good. I had always thought that Margo was made to order for fast fighters and Mosley proved that to be true, and at this point Pac is even much faster then Shane. UGLY fight Pac wins easy.
man quit dreaming, margo is going to beat that ass, you know pac is too busy being the philipines president
Yup and I don't believe it for 1 second. The speed disparity between Pacquiao and Margarito is mind boggling.
They're only allowed to film what Roach allows them to film. Same with Mayweather; HBO aren't allowed access to Mayweather's sparring session.
Its marketing, but you can bet it will bring the odds closer and get people interested. I thought it was a bloody good episode.
That's what they're probably doing, but honestly speaking, I've fallen for it. I actually do believe Pacquiao's preperation has been the shittest ever. Everything I saw in that episode, fully coincided with the news reports we've been reading for the past couple of weeks. It makes me think there is a considerable amount of truth to them. I guess will have to see. But my initial concerns when this fight was first announced - Margarito being much tougher than people are saying - seem to be surfacing again.
Its not planned or typecast. Pacquiao and more importantly, his trainer, would not want him to be taking free shots for no reason just to promote the fight. If you start to act as if your training badly you will end up training badly anyway, so i just cant see Roach and Pacquiao agreeing to do that just for HBO's marketing purposes, and i cant imagine HBO asking them to either. If anything, HBO is probably just taking the worst snippets of sparring, instead of the good bits like they did in previous promos. The fact is, Pacquiao does have a lot of other commitments. If you cant accept that he has other things on his mind, either because you are a staunch Pacquiao fan, or a hater of this particular fight even happening and the idea Margarito might actually beat him or test him, you need to get over it. Margarito is on a mission and any kind of Pacquiao is going to have a hard night, so fake or not, Pacquiao and his team should be shaping up soon!
This 24/7 is horribly scripted it makes me want to vomit, especially when Ariza compared Manny's training camp to 'when Rocky lost to Clubber Laing because he didn't train properly' :barf Do you really think Manny is going to struggle with these bums months after some of his best career wins, yea right :barf
Personally I like this bit... Ariza : Bro, what are you doing Friday? Pacquiao : Nothing..why? Ariza : Friiiiiday dude...what are you doing FRIDAY? Pacquiao: Ermm..what's the date? Ariza: THIS FRIDAY Pacquiao: OHHH...Bob Arum.... lol?
So now we have two 24/7 shown and not one time did they show Manny drinking his power juice ????..He seems too relax's against a big fighter unless reality kick in and he knows he can't win.
It's to sell more PPV's. HBO is trying get the occasional PPV buyers and Mexican public to buy into this fight,... to make them believe/think Margo is going to win. Who would pay 55 bucks and watch their guy gets beaten up???
