    I wouldn't say Mosley was "successful" but he was lucky the judges went with him. He was surprised as hell when he was announced the victor. I agree with the rest though but I think because of the extra drug testing that people didn't think much of Mayweather fighting a former cheater because he agreed to the tests no problem whereas there is no extra glove testing for Marg it seems.

    yet again a thread turns into a pac vs floyd bitchfest.

    the question is simple, should pac lose credit for fighting margo.

    the answer is also simple. yes.

    I don't look down on Pacquiao for taking the match... However, I do hate this match for a huge amount of reasons. That being said, I will still probably watch it.

    I still hope that Pacquiao takes on someone more worthy; if he doesn't and Floyd fights Cotto then Pacquiao will have been outdone.

    ROFLMAO Do you realise what you said??? Sure Shane proved he was clean to fight Daisy Duck he gassed after the third round just went through the motions. Big difference to the monster that fought Tony Margarito Right?? Mosely had boundless stamina & energy then didnt he??? Couldnt be he was juiced could it?? Nooo he's a US hero ROFL

    Show me the paperwork where it says 20 million guaranteed.Just show it.
    Arum said that bull**** and you parrot it.

    Fact:pac v Cotto,7M guarantee

    Fact:pac v Hatton,12Million guarantee

    Don't repeat Arum,look up the facts for yourself.

    Arum just said that because Mayweather got 23 Million in guarantee vs Mosley.

    Outside of fighting Mayweather,Pacq will absolutely never get a guarantee any where close to 20 Million.His very best is 12 Million guaranteed and that's not bad at all.But 20 Million it is not.Pacq simply doesn't get paid like Mayweather or De La Hoya.He is not half of the businessman they are.

    People who say it's not Pac's fault are implying Pac is an idiot that doesn't have control over his own destiny. It's more Pac's fault than Arum's... Arum wants in-stable fights but he can't force Pac to do something he doesn't want to. Pac simply doesn't care.

    it's a dissapointment this cheater gets the opportunity... can't blame pac...he is controlled by everyone. just another domino...just another payday..and one that margarito would never see.. after what he did....arum is going to get him paid..then disgard him and send him on his way to wherever..... he gets the chance to make some loot on his way into being gone.. or into joshua clotteydom.

    blaming pac aint right. they know this is easy work... thats why they even are going to let chavez jr. put in some sessions and work...it's more benefitial to chav than to pac..
    this fight is a joke...and manny knows to make this "look good"...ppv event and all.

    i see lots of possibilites of how it can run... but i mostly see pac at the end winning.. set program. he is waiting to fight mayweather to retire... and money knows this.

    top rank and pac setting it up and creating it and making it and making countdown clocks..
    bad for business..


    as much as i wait like the rest of us for this... it was a ******ed ..psychological move..that never had floyd under pressure to submit to. "go **** yourself and that **** tactic" was basically the message.. left arum out there..grumbling..and dismayed it didn't work...and even knowing he ****ed up..gave some credence to floyd..and said..well...must be his uncle and this and that... he knew he tried to strong arm a fight.

    much like when floyd went against gatti... i hated his persona.. i knew he would cream gatti..
    and i wanted gatti to win...i knew better..but floyd was just coming into this new persona.

    floyd is a different type of oscar delahoya... biz savy..but with a bigger head and historical mind. he is not ducking pac. I really have to say.. same as when they ask manny about mayweather when he is facing another set opponent... he shrugs and says who he is focusing on at the moment.

    when Floyd beats manny... lets hope for a rematch..the first fight when he does his thing is going to be criticized..... the second one will be the.."yeah....floyd ****ing mayweather is that good"

    Blame Arum, not Pacquiao. He's the one that lists the opponents. By the look of things it doesn't seem like Margarito will be allowed to fight in the US, you better pray this doesn't happen in Mexico unless you want to see Margarito go in the ring on a bike with knuckle pads and a baseball bat and still get cheers.

    He has to fight someone,the Mayweather fight has fallen through and what are the other options?A rematch with Cotto.I dont like what Margo did and feel the ban should have been longer but he has served the punishment handed to him.I certainly have not lost any respect for Manny.He needs big name fighters and Margo fits he bill.
