Bob Arum really has no shame giving Margarito a record payday

[100%BoXeOAzTeKa]

Again with the money? What the *** is up with everyones obsession with another man's livelyhood?


Seriously fellas this obsession is borderline secret man love attraction. It's ***ing creepy!

I AGREE

[Fearless Angel]

Boxing's a dirty business bro, look at Cortez in the Hatton and Calzaghe fights. All involved in the sport accept it for what it is, and that includes Arum or anyone else looking to make money from it.

man cortez had nothing to do with the ass whooping that hatton received. just because he wasn't allowed to grab and clinch and hug all knight like he did in the UK doesn't mean cortez was wrong. he did the right thing, fighters like that need to be penalized.

[Uturn]

because i want to see Margs destroyed once and for all.

[Dsanchez]

these are only speculations. He did not cheat against cotto.

somewhat truth

Pacquiao should get like a 95-5 purse split

im sure its gonna be peanuts for margs

[Dsanchez]

i know im gonna get crucified for this, but here it goes anyways lol Just remember people im a cotto fan

1. he wasnt caught cheating against cotto
2. he got suspended and did his time

if we're gonna be pissed here it should be at arum ( but we know he's a money hungry bastard ) and whoever is gonna sanction this fight. just my 2 cents trying to look at it from a neutral point of view

Why do you assume I'm mad about the money? I'm mad about the fact that he's gettin the opportunity to make money. Relax with your gay conspiracy theories. You're gettin urself too excited.

For all the criticism there has been of how crappy a fight Marg and Pac might turn out to be, where is the outrage that a man who possibly destroyed Miguel Cotto's career illegally, is going to get the pay day of his life? This fight is a disgrace on that fact alone and I would never pay a dime to see another Margarito fight, unless Miguel is in the ring with him looking for revenge.

Arum has done a brilliant job of somehow getting the public to ignore that this guy is the equivalent of a violent criminal who hasn't even been back in boxing for more than a few months before he gets a)a title shot, and b) the biggest payday against one of the 2 biggest stars in boxing.

Arum should be ashamed of himself and anyone who supports this fight should be ashamed of themselves as well.

Margarito should be allowed one fight and one fight only for the rest of his life: Miguel Cotto, and even then only if Miguel feels like giving him the opportunity.

agreed. the only reason margarito will get a licence again is cuz he was caught before the fight. luis resto is known as one of the biggest disgraces in boxing history and what margarito attempted to do was very similar. its much too soon for anyone in the boxing world too embrace margarito...arum should know better.

Again why the obsession over his "oppertunity" to earn Money other than you have this crazy obsession to somehow exact revenge against a man whos already been punished for his crime.


Seriously man you take your self waaaaaaayyyyyyy to seriously when you and other fans start spouting off with these holier than thou diatribes.

You guys remind me of Robert Deniro when he came out in this movie.

Holy ***ing god now we have knownothings comparing Resto to Margarito again!



Will the absence of logic ever end? Could we get at least one person in this thread that isn't some bloodthirsty revenge driven moron who understand how different the Margarito and Resto situations were.

It's good to know there are people on BS like this. You're calling this an "obsession" for me even though it's the first time I've ever posted anything on Margarito-Pacquiao. And you're also calling me crazy because I don't want to see a potential record pay day for a guy who got busted for cheating LAST YEAR in a sport where people die even when there's no cheating. He got his punishment, but does that punishment mean anything if a year later he is taking on the P4P king because he beat Roberto Garcia in a lackluster UD. Do you think he's done ANYTHING to earn this fight? **** Arum and **** Margarito. I don't know if you're on Tony's nuts or if you just don't give a **** about the integrity of boxing, either way it's good to know people like you are out there bro, keeping "crazies" like me in line. Way to stick your neck out there to defend one of the true good guys in boxing.

P.S.- It's spelled "opportunity". I don't know why you put it in quotes but I just thought you should know.
