Too many negative Pacquiao stories....

Have you ever seen or heard so many negative stories & sound bytes coming out of a World Champion's camp? Freddy is concerned about focus, foot injury, sparring, not enough speed etc., Ariza is worried about his conditioning, the list goes on. Who in their right mind makes negative comments about their meal ticket prior to a huge fight? Something tells me they're trying to get some money over to the Margo side to bring down Manny's odds.

They are trying to sell the PPV to the fans.

i hate it when they do this. all they are trying to do is make it sound like margo has a chance so that when pac wins, he looks better, but if margo wins then pac has an excuse

I think Pac needs a better publicist than Freddy Roach. I'm a fan of Freddy, but he needs to cool out. So does Ariza. If they're having trouble selling tickets, they should've thought of that before taking this fight.

With all the "variables", going on nobody really knows for sure what will happen once these 2 get in the ring, that's the great thing about boxing... but my guess is, all the "hoopla" surrounding the fight is designed to sell tickets @ Cowboys Stadium and/or PPV buys.

Ask yerself this, do you really believe Freddie is all that concerned about how Pacquiao will do? Just watch, a day before the fight Roach will say Pacquiao is ready to go and will KO Margo in 8 rounds or less. This is all hype folks, no way does Margo win this fight.
