Specifically, writers Thomas Jackson and Kirill Davydov--both of whom have articles on the front page of ESB saying that Mosley is going to beat Pac. Some of their reasons are beyond ridiculous, and I just don't get the logic behind their predictions when everything points to the opposite occuring.Fact is, Mosley is old, and has looked less-than-stellar in recent fights. He has been in many, many wars, and that takes its toll eventually. Unless Mosley gets back on the EPO, there is no way that the fight even lasts the distance, IMO.
It's just the same with the Margarito bout. At first people hated the fight, then after a while when they saw Margarito was in good shape, some started to believe. Then the fight happened, then they went quiet for a while.
They want the pacquiao reign to end. Thats all there is to it, its like ancient times when a guy would chase away the king had him shaking in fear and in hiding, he would crown himself king and reign. You will always have people praying for his downfall.
they have to hype the fight......it'd be stupid to pile drive a fight in the sport of boxing with two popular athletes in the sport no matter the condition of one....show still must go on!
The fight is basically **** to begin with, yet Arum is pulling out all the stops and is trying to get major television sponsorship by having CBS be a part of this fight--which is asinine, btw. This fight is SO unworthy of being heralded like it's something great, but Arum doesn't seem to care. If he, and others in the sport truly wanted to bring boxing back to the mainstream, on local programming, then they could do it. But, they pick and choose, and only do something like this if it benefits them.
Arum is doing his job whether people like the fight or not.....he still has a job to do......promote.
