Pac-Clottey undercard sucks, of course

    Can't Arum afford to do one less Pinoy Power/Latin Fury card and instead give us a good undercard, for a change, for once!!!

    Is Margarito even licensed yet? If the criminal gets approved in Texas I could still care less about his tuneup against Carson Jones. Maybe it'll be more competitive than Margarito-Golden Johnson, but probably not. But I don't care anyway, because Margarito shouldn't be in the ring, he should be in court facing attempted assault charges.

    The other two fights are just pathetic. Human punching bag Duddy against yet another in a long line of stiffs. But at least we'll get to watch Duddy bleed and struggle to a majority decision.

    I have no interest in watching Castillo anymore, it's more sad than anything. He's actually still able to beat club fighters at least, which he's done his last four times out. As average as Gomez is, he should be able to handle the blown-up, shot version of Castillo.

    Sure those last two fights can be competitive, but for the wrong reasons.
    They don't belong on a $50 PPV card. But Pacquiao-Clottey doesn't either, so what the hell.

    It would have been very nice had Pinoy Power been scrapped and Donaire's fight got put on this card. But that is asking way too much of Arum.

    Its Top Rank, of course its going to be sh*tty.

    Even the Pinoy Power 3/ Latin Fury at the Hiltin this 13th isn't that great either.

    it's quite average, I agree. Concepcion-Santiago could be a good scrap, I could care less on the Montiel fight. Penalosa-Morel probably would put me to sleep.

    Arum knows people are going to buy it because of Pacquaio anyway

    This is a weak card, again, from Arum. Pacquaio-Clottey is a good fight but nothing spetacular and Clottey isn't very exciting in or out of the ring. Castillo-Gomez is a solid fight but neither guy is relevant and its only a competitive fight because Castillo is washed up. The Duddy and Sanchez fights are strictly off-tv type of fights. Arum putting both those fights on the actual ppv show is awful. Actually, a Margarito-Jones fight would be a blessing for this card. This is a ppv that only die-hard Pacquaio fans should get.

    Arum just said the Margo fight might be replaced by Soto-Diaz. Now that's a good fight.

    Unless I'm mistaken, it's;

    Margarito vs Carson Jones
    Jose Luis Castillo vs Alfonso Gomez
    Michael Medina vs John Duddy

    well i'd be happy if Margo is not on the card. Soto-Diaz is a decent fight and much better than a Margarito tuneup. But of course, if Arum said it, it probably will not happen.

    Which Diaz? I know Juan is owned by GBP and Julio is MIA so I'm going to assume David Diaz.

    I wonder if this card bombs badly if Floyd will drop the blood test and say give me 60-40.
