    I agree too. The problem is more that, Margo and Pac are fighting for a junior Mid title.

    Neither of them are ranked.

    You have fighter spending years trying to get to the top of the ranking.

    Buts its all about money. The sancioning will get a much higher fee having these two fight for the belt.

    My point is more the weight thy have chosen, will benefit Margo over Pac. Anything north of 147 will increase Margo chances of winning.

    On the title side. None of these 2 should be fighting for a junior mid title, catchweight or not.

    Pac, Arum and Roach are 3 of the most disgusting pieces of **** on the sport today. If a title is on the line, I will have lost all respect for Mr. waffle iron head. When I saw that the fight would be at 151, I thought about all of the fighters in history who were small who NEVER asked for a catch weight. Pac is a ***** who always needs an advantage to win fights.

    These fights would be a lot more impressive if he fought them at the limit as well as them weighing much more weight then him on fight night.

    If he beat Cotto's ass while Cotto was weighing 155-160 then that would be more impressive. If he fought Margo at 154 weighed only 150 but Margo had a 10pd advantage over him by weighing 160 on fight night (which can still happen though I doubt it). If he were to still beat his ass then that would be way more impressive.

    Then again maybe i'm expecting to much from the fighter of the decade and P4P #1. I'm expecting Margo to weigh 154-155 on fight night even though he weighed 160 vs Mosly at welter weight, but we will see.

    That being said I don't even blame him for going the easy route. I mean he shouldn't take any huge gambles until after that Mayweather fight is completed.

    If its at 147 Arum couldnt have it for a VACANT super welterweight belt.

    Thats right its a title fight at 151 for a vacant belt and Pac will win and call himself a 154 lb champ.

    The plan was to get Foreman's belt but that fell through and Arum has enough pull to get ABC guys to make this a title fight. Now that is a SHAM

    Agreed. He can beat these guys at the limit yet he has to weaken these guys a bit...why?

    Jesus Christ, Pacquiao is a natural 130 lb fighter not too long ago, he's already 30 when he's at 130. Anything beyond 135, then every pound is an advantage to his opponent.

    Question makes no sense. If you think it's a paper title, why would you care who fought for it?
