Pacquiao vs Margarito is Set For 11/13, Mexico or Vegas E-mail
Top Rank CEO Bob Arum has informed Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports that WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao will move up to the junior middleweight division to challenge Antonio Margarito for the vacant WBC title on November 13. Margarito's team will once again attempt to get him a license to box in Las Vegas. If that moves fails, the fight will take place in Monterrey, Mexico.

WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto was the other option for November, but his TKO loss to Pacquiao took place less than a year ago and few people were interested in the rematch.

“Cotto was beaten and even with [Hall of Fame trainer] Emanuel Steward now with him, I don’t think people believe that it’s enough to make a difference and I’m not sure they would buy it as competitive,” Arum said. “But putting aside the controversy about the wraps, the one thing you know for sure with a Margarito fight is that it will be a hell of a fight for however long it lasts.

“Margarito knows only one way to fight and that’s coming forward. They’re going to get in there and fight. That’s what people want to see.”

FUCK YOU Manny, man i used to be your fan, i loved Manny the warrior, not Manny the celebrity, you fucking SUCK, you openly duck Foreman for being 5'11, yet you take on Margo who is also 5'11, why? cause he SUCKS more than you, plus Margo can't fight lefties, he always gets his ass whooped by southpaws (talk about cherry picking opponents), and ARUM STFU, having Steward in the corner and being a 154 fight Cotto has a world of chances to whoop Pacroids ass.

Mosley would have been the more competitive choice. They want Manny to put the beatdown own Margarito so they can rub it in Floyd's face. Great mental strategy. Punk Floyd out until he gets the cojones to step up.

It would be the biggest event.......in mexico city that is hehe! that's where cheaters are allowed to fight.
No bueno!. Margo is nowhere near ready for pacroid plus margacheato hasnt earned it. Big payday for Arum that's for sure. Hey jandro the way ic it is whatever it takes to take out mayweather out of his cave. if becoming a bigger celebrity is what it'll take than by all means beat all them punching bags out there. It would be funny if pacroid looses this one.

i am a boxing fan. not a promoter. im not making a $$ out of this. neither are any of you. it seems like most people that talk boxing nowadays consider themselves part of the negotiating field, we're far from it homies. i dont know about yall, but im'a enjoy every minute of this.

It's bull shit if you ask me, but then again Mayweather mayB playing his cards straight. LOL, Floyd is a funny mothafucka, he treats this sport like a game of chess & if either fighter wins the vacant 154lb wbc title, Floyd will then challenge Pac or Margo..... Floyd already knows he could beat both fighters he's just waiting for the perfect opportunity in wich it also bides him some time for his uncle's upcoming trial.....LOL, I gotta admit the guy's brilliant, but "WE" the fans are the ones getting playd like dummies by the sport. The Pac & May fight will happen we just gotta wait till then.

Oh by the way, I wont be betting on nobody for this fight. I dont even think im gonna pay to see this fight. MayB a boycott will send some of these boxers & promoters a message if they want to exclude boxing fans demands...................

he's gonna fight margarito?...........boxing just keeps disapointing me. thank god football season is just around the corner. im seriously thinking about not watching this bullshit ass sport anymore. boxing fucking sucks right now.

JoeLuis said: _

 
boycott not gonna happen. They both carry a large crowd. I could care less if the wayweather vs pac happens. I'm kinda getting sick tired of these pre-maddonna fighters being the face of boxing. What these two have brought to the sport is bad fans that dont know much about the sport. Just found out that segura is fighting Calderon that's gonna be something but dont no site is telling me this cus they're too busy posting wayweahter vs pacman this, n that. fighters and promoters just have to much to say and organizations are loosing control over them + now we got hbo and showtime calling the shots as of who is the next big shot. As much as i hate to say it boxing is going to the garbage if they dont change their ways.

NEWSFLASH PEOPLE!!! Manny will take on a weak ass opponent in Margacheato, at a bullshit catchweight probably, and here's the big news, for all you that call Floyd a coward if you didn't know he's actually here in Puerto Rico, he arrived on Wednesday and apparently he has a scheduled reunion either Sunday or Monday with TEAM COTTO!!! once again who gets the better fight?? while Manny had a fix with Clottey, $ May went for Mosley, and now he's going for Cotto while Manny goes for another bullshit fix in a Margacheato fight.

Homer said: _

 
I don't see Mayweather vs. Cotto being such a better match up, but here's where I differ. I'll take it! We need fights. Could it be any more onesided than Ward/Green or Khan/Paulie? It wasn't that long ago that Margarito was considered "the man" Floyd is not going to do anything easily.
25 July, 2010

Jandro83 said: _

 
i dunno why people considered Margarito "The Man" ever, who he beat?? Cintron? that goofball? then PW beats him, then he fights Cotto and we all now why he won that fight cause once he was caught Mosley OBLITERATED him.

So just keep wishing for fights that will never happen, and enjoy those lacross matches. Aren't they interesting?

A fucking cop out! Margo gets Ricky hattoned in 3 rounds. Gayest match up in Pacs carreer, talk about anti-climax to what was going to be the match up of all matches.

if you know anything about soccer/football. This wud be the equivalent of Netherlands Vs Spain to play the world cup final, spain shittin themselves and the Texas Tornados (made up) being drafted in to play the final instead.

Whack as fcuk!

BOYCOTT THIS FIGHT... IF YOU BUY THIS FIGHT YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!

the only reason this fight is being made is to line Arum's pockets.. it's meaningless. Manny keeps pointing to Arum but he's his own man and needs to take responsibility for bullshit like this. He's going to fight Margaritio who looked like complete crap in his last fight and previous to that got a beat down by Shane Mosely.. why is he not fighting Mosely then.. why fight the guy that just got his ass whooped and knocked the f'out?? If you don't want Mosely, why not Berto, Timothy Bradley? if you want a legit fight at 154 why not Martinez or Williams.. i'm sure Williams will come down to 147 for manny as well..

the other bullshit is that they are going to claim manny "earned" another title at another weight class.. when they will be fighting for a vacant title (that martinez just gave up) and not even fighting at 154.. in all likely hood 150..

everything about this fight is bullshit... EVERYTHING.. Manny, Arum.. this time you've gone too far.. you guys are punk, pussy, skumbags, cowards.. do these guys have any shame at all.. everyone needs to do everything they can so that this fight makes no money.. this is just bullshit!
30 July, 2010

doctorSpoc said: _

 
also Arum says he's not going to fight Berto or Bradley because they are not known.. but who did manny just fight? Clottey, how known is clottey and how much money did he make off of that fight?

these guys are so full of it! i'm a hardcore fan, but i'm starting to get really tired of boxing "business"...

the unknown talk is b.s. thats was the supposed reason for not matchin up with mosley. soon as floyd matches up with mosley all of a sudden mosley is well know and a ppv draw. same will happen when floyd picks his next apponent. bradley berto williams or martinez all of a sudden they are well known. manny antonio is a bad match it could become worst dependin on who floyd matches up with next. arum is killin this sport.

Let me understand correctly. Mosley was not well known until he fought Floyd? OK...

Bri, you're either trolling for a response or seriously uninformed. Did you just get into boxing in the last 2 years? Most of us knew Sugar Shane before he fought Philip Holiday in 96 or 97. Those of us who follow amateur boxing knew him as a great prospect of an amateur champ with only a couple losses in almost 100 fights. Go to school, kid.

Unlike all you guys who used to ride Margarito's coat tails, I've always called him underrated and will never pay PPV for one of his fights. That said, I think it's giong to be hilarious to see Pacquiao destroy someone who is so much naturally bigger than himself.

Boxing isn't about bitching about fights, it's about taking them all in and remembering the great battles.

Fern, nice to see that you think you're so much smarter or knowledgeable about boxing than everyone else. I've been a very close follower since the mid-80's, when I was a wee lad and can spot a kook when I see one. The first thing that gives you away is pointing out that it's you *opinion* that Pacquiao lost both fights to Marquez. Anyone who knows anything knows that the fights were close as fuck but of course in fights like that the winner tends to be the one who knocked the other guys down more. Pacquiao in both cases. Regardless of that, since when is it the mark of a bad fighter to have close fights or losses to another great fighter? It isn't. I think you need to go back to school with Bri. You guys can talk boxing for hours without really saying anything of consequence.

Could well be fight of the year, so far Pacquiao has shown he has never been afraid to stand toe to toe with every fighter he has faced.

Could he do this with a man of Margaritto stature.

That alone will be something to behold, small 5’6 guy fighting a 5’11 guy outweighing him by over a stone but the little guy is not just out boxing him he overpowering him, standing there and trading and making Marg take the backward steps and folding under the pressure.

Pacquiao is too goo for his own good, if Juan Diaz said he was going to take on Margarito people would say it was a mammoth task and Diaz could well take a beating. This is the same Diaz who the same people say Pacquiao ducked.

This is going to be Pacquiao toughest fight and the Pacquiao vs Margarito could be FOTY

Margarito and his trainer, Javier Capetillo, was suspended for one year for allegedly tampering Margarito’s hand wraps, prior to his January 2009 bout with Shane Mosley, in which he loses. This effectively banned Margarito from boxing in the United States, pending investigation. Margarito claimed he didn’t know about the tampering of the wraps, while Capetillo admitted the wrongdoing.

Bob Arum plans to hold Pacquiao vs. Margarito in Monterrey, Mexico if Margarito’s license in the US can’t be restored.

let me clear up my previous statemet. mosley is obviosly know but not a top ppv draw. that was the reason manny quote did not matchup withhim and took oncotto instead. martinez william berto bradley are the new so called unkown boxers manny wont face. soon as floyds matches up with oneof themthey will all of a sudden be quote well known as reason for ppv #s bein in the million once more.

jwoodward ... good comments, however I do think Margarito will give Pacquiao a good fight, he has too with all the height, reach and weight advantages, he won't be an easy opponent for Manny.

"jwoodward ... good comments, however I do think Margarito will give Pacquiao a good fight, he has too with all the height, reach and weight advantages, he won't be an easy opponent for Manny."

Dude are you for real? Margo is slow as fuck, has no defense, and doesn't know how to fight from the outside. His height and reach advantage is completely useless, plus he doesn't know how to fight southpaws. There's no way Margo can pull an upset.

you try to think about it, have you seen PW in person? 6'1 my ass, PW is at least 6'4, Quintana 5'9 and Martinez 5'10 and look what happened, Chavez jr is 6' feet and he fought a 5'5 argentinian once who totally thrashed him and they gifted him the decision, height means nothing in a fight, and much less with Margarito who doesn't even know how to use it to his advantage.

look guys, i'm not saying don't watch the fight.. all i'm saying is DO NOT PAY FOR THIS FIGHT.. go to a bar with your buddies, find it online somewhere.. but for god's sake DO NOT BUY THIS FIGHT!! these fools don't exist without our money.. they have to be taught a lesson. this bs that arum is doing is exactly what king did and it almost destroyed boxing.. this kind of bs needs to stop..

also you can see how badly manny wants this fight.. he has a date set contract signed and yesterday he's on the horn calling out mayweather for nov. 13th.. even manny knows this fight is not worth his time..

Jandro u r an idiot that misses my point, a good big man beats a good small man in almost all cases, I'm just stating the fact that it won't be an easy fight for the smaller man, yes I think Pacquiao will beat Margo but it will be a tough fight for the reasons I've stated.
13 August, 2010

Jandro83 said: _

 
BHop213 you're the idiot who apparently has never seen a Margarito fight, none of the things you said are valid for Margarito cause he simply sucks. Everyone knows Margo's shot after all the punches he accumulated specially after the Cotto and Mosley beatings, his wear and tear is past it's limit, he could only hold out till Cotto and that's it. Also Margo can't pull the trigger, only way he can win (which will never happen) is obviously by KO, and if he couldn't legitimately put out Cotto with fucking BRICKS in his gloves, do you actually think he has a chance of taking out Pacquiao? Man you're dilusional.
15 August, 2010

BHop213 said: _

 
U r an idiot, I said it would be a 'tough fight' can't you read man?
And, no one knows if Margarito had illegal stuff in his gloves when he fought Cotto, they only found he had it in the Mosley fight, or do you positively know something we don't know Jandro?
16 August, 2010

Jandro83 said: _

 
Dude you didn't see the Pacquiao/Cotto fight when they showed Margacheatos picture after the Cotto fight? Look at his left hands wrap, wraps include gauze (cotton) and tape right? Since when does a fighter end up with a cracked up HOLE on the knuckles of his hand wraps?? Look for the vid when they interviewed him after the fight and look at his wraps, they look cracked up like a dry cement crack, after a fight tape and gauze will get mushy cause of the sweat, but end up with a CRACKED dry hole?? Dude you don't need to be a scientist to figure that out. And like i said the fight will be COMPLETELY one sided.
