Who's watching Pacman vs. Margarito PPV tonight?



I'll be watching. It'll be interesting to see if he's the same fighter with all of the other things he's had on his plate with his political career. His promoter was saying on the 60 Minutes feature that he's afraid of this fight because the focus on his training hasn't been there like it has been in the past.
 
good fight so far!

whoever thought it was a good idea to have nelly as the musical guest should be shot down in the street!
 
It was a pretty exciting fight, there was 1 round in particular where they were just trading leather in a exchange, fun to watch.

BUT It was a mismatch from the start. Tailor made opponent for Pacquiao. HBO were robbing people blind with that 24/7 making it seem like the fight would be close by blowing Pac's political commitments and "worst training camp ever" out of proportion.

Roach and company aren't stupid, they wouldn't have taken this fight unless they were 100% they could beat Marg easily. He was big, but hasn't shown any glimpses of KO power since he got popped for loaded wraps, (2 fights now) and he is known as being pretty slow, even for his weight class.

Pac should now campaign for the Mayweather fight and retire. He has nothing else to prove. Going up to Margs weight is crazy enough. Because now, he'll be having all of these light middleweights and super welterweights trying to challenge him who are probably too big and fast enough to deal with him.

Mayweather will dodge Pac.

Mayweather should keep dodging Pacquiao - Boxing - Yahoo! Sports


“After this great performance, Mayweather needs to put up or shut up or move out of the country,” Roach said. “Face it, Manny’s way above him at this point. I remember when [Mayweather] was ducking Margarito. If he doesn’t fight Manny now we know this guy should retire.”

Both Arum and HBO’s Ross Greenburg said they’d reach out to the Mayweather camp again this week but why would this time be any different? The pile of money – maybe $100 million plus – remains on the table, but now both Mayweather and his trainer/uncle Roger are dealing with significant legal issues in separate domestic violence incidents.

“We wouldn’t want to be blindsided by something like a trial,” Arum noted.

Legal woes should serve as one more roadblock that Mayweather can use. If you’re Floyd Jr., what’s the rush anyway? How many opponents need to be sent to the hospital to try to avoid being the next one?

Mayweather has never faced a relentless force like this. They just don’t exist. Pacquiao threw an astounding 713 power punches and landed an equally astounding 53 percent of them. It’s what carved Margarito’s face to bits.

It was ugly. It was violent. It was an unmistakable message to the one opponent everyone wants to see next.

No one dodges a punch like Mayweather. And the best way to slip Pacquiao’s blinding combination is to keep finding a way to stay out of the ring.
