    They complani about his active lifestyle on every 24/7 he is involved in these days. If they really were concerned why would the want the world to know?
    I don't buy it, but I dont see the reason for it.

    Any opinions on it?>

    The more people who think Margo has a chance = More PPV buyers.

    Exactly. pac should win easily, so HBO need to sell PPV's some way. Cue shots of him doing things outside the gym, while Alex Ariza acts like a grumpy **** to add "~ZOMGZZZ TENSHON IN DA CAMP~"

    I believe he is distracted but think thats nothing unusual for pac. Dont think he's distracted enough for it to matter in the fight.

    He's always distracted going into fights. It's how he lives. A few hours after Hatton he sang at a concert live. And this was scheduled before the fight. Don't see it being an issue but I do think Margarito has half a chance. Still think and really hope Manny wins though.

    No more than usual and I'm expecting him to give Margarito a beating not too dis-similar to the one he gave to De La Hoya.

    When I first saw it I did but it's not as bad as they made out.

    Not the first time there's been rumours of Pacquiao having a bad camp and (this is if they're even true) it's never made a blind bit of difference.

    Anyway, this is surely just HBO trying to make the fight seem more competitive because they're aware that many people consider it a mismatch. Nothing but a ploy to boost PPV sales.

    Why would they keep mentioning their fighters weakness? Wouldn't make any sense. IRS all bull**** so people buy the fight.

    But I agree, Margo is looking good.

    For the record, Pac stops him picket than Mosley did

    margs looking i ntraining but think taht mannys footwork and speed will be too much he will be using his angles all night to give margarito trouble and win on points or late stoppage

    Its a hard one, one second your rationale thinks its an angle but then it does happen.

    The bit about Pac going to Vegas supporting a senator seems very real. Top acting if thats the case.

    It does happen, boxers on the way up are far better than boxers who have reached the top.

    Pacman 2008/2009 could well better than the version that mean Margo in late 2010.

    The hunger, the drive, the desire are key elements to making you a great fighter.
