Who admitted it was scripted? Floyd kicked Marquez's ass. Where was the fix? Because he didn't KO him? Floyd NEVER goes for the kill. He one-punched Hatton, and that's how he got that KO.
Pacquiao and Cotto are going to go to war. They are going to try to hurt each other badly. The better man is going to win that fight, and right now, I'm not sure who that is. If you don't believe that, then you shouldn't watch boxing anymore.

The week after the fight, on the replay they were discussing it. Mayweather himself wasn't scripted, Mosley WAS.. they said Hopkins was telling Mosley what to say urging him to do it. Watch the replay of the fight, if you need a link I will be glad to give it to you.
The Marquez fight was set up, you choose not to believe it, check the POST of that thread, someone who attended the fight Nc1Capper came on and said it was "fixed".
Telling someone they shouldn't watch boxing anymore because I believe the FIX is in is silly and disrespectful.
How about you ignore my posts, and I ignore yours for the sake of the forum.That is MY take on the fight, you have the right to agree or disagree, but don't tell people what they should and shouldn't be doing.
I've shown nothing but respect for you in the past, I've done nothing to warrant you attacking and telling me to stop watching boxing. Have some respect.
Enjoy your war,

I wasn't aiming to be disrespectful, but I can see that's how I came off. I'm just saying that if you believe that the outcome of this fight is predetermined, then I wouldn't expect you to be watching it. I guess I'm just a sucker. This is the biggest fight of the year in boxing, and I'm too naive to believe that the fix is in. Congrats to all those of you who will be making tons of money betting Pacquiao.

The above two posts are examples of why I hardly check the boxing forum anymore.

FYI, I am on record as backing Pacquiao against DeLaHoya and Hatton, both by KO.
I'm not sure how I'll bet the Cotto fight, or if I'll bet it at all. I just wish I got the newsletter that you guys got about the fight being fixed.

Rich I think you now your stuff but a fight like this fixed! No way man!! Not as big a fight of this magnitude or signifance. Cotto is the proudest Puerto Rucian you can get. He has a god there. No way he takes a dive for anyone!
This fight was put together because as you have pointed out yourself. Cotto's star is on the wane. Next year this fight would not be made because I believe Cotto would lose to Mosley in a rematch, to Paul Williams and even Andre Berto would start with a good chance against him. Those kind of fights (Like the Clottley fight) make no sense for Cotto right now and his stock would fall too far for the Pacman fight to be made.
In Pacman he has the perfect matchup where the money will be huge. The timing is perfect for Arum. But there is a gamble involved here. If Pacman wins, Mayweather will almost be forced to fight him or risk completely having his legacy tarnished. I still don't think the fight will ever happen no matter what BUT Arum stands in a strong negotiating position if Pacman wins and Pacman will be pound for pound best if Floyd won't fight him.
Arum is assuming Pacman will win. If Cotto losses he will probably have one or 2 big fights like an Andre Berto fight and then retire a rich man after a great career. If Cotto wins Rich, I know Arum will be disgusted. The Mayweather fight will be done for and in Cotto he will have a fighter who 1) Mayweather will never fight 2)who will lose his next big test against a legitimate welterweight.
But to say this fight is fixed is nonsense mate. 2 proud warriors would never take a dive no matter what the money on offer. They are rich enough as it is. You won't see twpo more honest guys in the ring. This is Bob Arum's big gamble. If it fails he is still a rich man. If it succeeds he holds all the cards and boxings biggest superstar no matter how much Money disagrees!
Floyd should take the pacman fight as its win win. He will beat a legend, he will make a sh!t load of money doing so and his legacy cemented. I would love to see Floyd fight the Pacmans, Williams and Mosleys of this world. That will never happen. I Just hope we all get to see Pacman v Money..

Rich I agree with your thinking on this fight. Its either Manny on points or a Cotto KO.I personally don't see any other outcome and I have bet both.
Just to add there is NO WAY Arum would ever put Pacman in against Mosley. A guy who walks around at 160, with Mosleys speed and ring saavy = Disaster for Manny. I would bet the mortgage on Mosley if that fight ever happens and believe me it won't. I feel sorry for Sugar Shane no one wants to fight him. Can't be the life of me think why himself and Paul Williams can't do some business.
Mayweather is the fight Pacman wants now. There is nothing else left for him. The names like Bradley/Khan etc at 140 are not big enough names. Marquez star has waned and Pacman wouldn't want that fight so thats a no go. To secure a good start to negotations for the Mayweather fight the ONLY direction Pacman could go was Cotto. If he can win that fight, how can Mayweather ask for a 65/35 spilt in the purse. H E can't and Arum nows this too.
Pacman wants to make 25 million for fighting Mayweather then he is out. This great little fighter has 2 fights left. His last fight will be either a Cotto rematch or the Fight we all want to see..

It would be a risk for Mosley to fight Williams no doubt but what has he got to lose?. Its a big money fight that would do alot for both fighters. No one expects him to win so if he did what a way to sign off. Of Course Mosley wants Mayweather. Its a fight he can actually win and he will make more money doing so but surely Sugar knows Floyd will not take this fight. Berto is not a big enough name in my eyes and I am surprised Mosley would go down this route. Not much to gain either Financially or legacy wise with a guy like Berto who I feel is seriously over rated.
Rich, I think Pacman is gone in 2 fights. He is a father of 4? Plus he has political aspirations and Movie stuff. I have a funny feeling his hunger for the sport is starting to fade. Cotto is a seriously live dog here.
