Pacquiao is kind of screwed now

Missed the point, bruh. I was simply indicating that there are many variables that must be considered for Margarito to legitimately qualify to fight Pac. And for the record, I don't see Pac-Margarito fighting in PI.

High octane meaning that there would be many punches thrown and landed, obviously.

 

I got your point. I also doubt the fight will happen in PI, but I do know that if it did at the right time it could still sell bonkers amounts of PPV buys. So it is possible without a US boxing license.

Then I doubt that it is as "complicated" as you are presenting getting the license. Especially if you throw the TSAC, Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys), Bob Arum, and a Mexican fighter into the pot. That is enough city/state revenue to make the Mayor and Governor invite the head of the TSAC out to have a "friendly" discussion over lunch. (Got to look up how you become the head of TSAC!)

I know exactly what you meant. I also know that Margarito is a carbon copy in a resized version of every guy Pac has beaten on his way up to WW. No slow, no footwork, no defense, no one punch stopping power, wide punching, and in this case gives up height. Might as well put them in a 4' X 300' ring so the whole staduim can get ring side seats. Marg walking into punches. Pac shredding him.

High octane? Especially when USADA testing is the only thing standing in the way of the REAL fight? It is a crap fight if you are a boxing fan and know how that fight came to be.

 

A PI fight is a logistic nightmare. And as much PPV's that it could sell, it would probably sell more if the fight took place in the States.

I don't underestimate Arum's ability to slime his way into getting his way. The fact of the matter is that it will take some effort to get it done tho'. If it was as easy as what your suggesting, Margo would have fought on the Pac-Clottey under-card.

I'm not inclined to debate Pac's resume at the this moment so I'll leave this alone.

Boxing can do far worse that Pac-Margarito. It's an action fight that would certainly offer up a healthy share of exchanges; which is what the casual fan yearns to see.

 

I agree. If it is a logistical nightmare now how was it done back then? I just said that in a pinch it can be "spun" as a positive.

There is "under card" effort and "mega fight" effort. I seriously doubt Arum was "crackin' heads" to get Marg on the card. The TSAC got to show "toughness and solidarity" with the CSAC. If that fight is on the table? It is back to business.

Cool, but he didn't get the name "The Mexicutioner" from fighting slick US boxers. Also all the Mexicans who gave him issues happened to do so... boxing (versus brawling or punching).

Given the current circumstances? I disagree. For all of the "casual fan" talk, Boxing seems to be selling quite well. A good number of the folks watching Pac won't be back until Nonito starts doing big things and then on a fraction of them. To make that fight for the fans while not making "The Fight" for the fans is just makes it... a Boxing Entertainment event. :bart

 

How would he win the JMW title if they fight at a catch weight?

 

Just like Pac fighting another Mexican fighter who would be the biggest man he ever faced would be "spun" as a positive.

Clearly Top Rank's agenda was to showcase Margarito in his comeback to the "Pacquiao audience" (casual fans) and hopefully match them together at a later date. Although it was in an under-card role, Margarito's comeback had big business relevance and his removal from the card can only be viewed as a failure for Arum, in that regard.

The only thing Margarito has in common with JMM is the they salute the same flag. I won't go any further.

For the record I'm arguing relevance, not my personal preferences. Margarito-Pac would be packaged and sold to the casual fan as an all-action event featuring the pre-imminent Mexican ww vs the "Mexican Assassin". I think you under estimate how impressionable people can be if you think this fight won't sell well.
