90% certain Pacquiao/Margarito in Abu Dhabi

I wouldn't suggest Pacquiao sit on the ropes against Margarito...he may be slow, but he's got some good bodyshots, that won him the bout against Cotto in my opinion.

 

Tony also throw some good uppercuts...Manny can't see that punch...just like Cotto.

 

the fight would need to be at 8am in the morning in dubai for it to be primetime in the US and Mexico.

 

**** that lol

 

9 hours ahead of the east coast. I'm in the area and i have to plan my phone calls to my wife according.

 

Hard for me to imagine Pac not fighting in either Vegas or Dallas.

 

LMAO you sound like Mayweather

 

I've been wondering about this. You can't charge $50 PPV in the US if you plan on the fight starting at 5pm or 6pm Eastern Time. I can't imagine it'd be on tape delay either.

 

while i agree that floyd ducked pac, this is NOT what should happen b/c of it. There are other options out there but there are only 2 people Arum will put pac in against and surprise surprise they are both Arum fighters. Thats the problem with this along with the fact that most people envision pac blazing around the ring snapping off combo's and moving our of range before marg knows what hit him. you make it sounds like its floyd's fault that the fight with marg is happeneing when there are other people who would make a much more interesting fight, but dickhead arum wont have any of it. I'll watch the fight b/c it's a boxing match and i like boxing, but no way in hell I pay for it or let anyone i know pay for it.

 

Abu Dhabi will be a gold mine for Top Rank and the fighters.No taxes and a big guarantee.Beautiful venue in my opinion.Arum does it again.

 

As much as I hate to get an average journeyman in Margarito get so much money, I will love the pain he gets for days for that.

 

Agree, you beat me to that comment :good

 

He's also taller. But that won't help him either.

 

So a man who gets his license suspended from the sport of boxing for being caught cheating not only gets the golden ticket to the biggest payday in boxing, but gets the chance at a world championship belt?
I believe it, in todays state of boxing anything is possible.

Bob Arum and the WBC along with all the other bigshots in boxing should be ashamed for ruining the sport. But there not, there laughing all the way to the bank. This is a in-house fight, that both participants do not deserve. Bob Arum at his finest.

 

:good
