  1. these filipinos are nasty when it comes to boxing. lets hope that this will be a good fight. beat the filipino atleast once

  3. I think we all know what he’s going to say, but I’m more interested in seeing how HBO will document the scandal, the sound and voice tracks and the slow motion shots will put more emotion to the events that unfolded after “the wraps”.

  4. lol What’s up bro, good sense of humor there Jay! hehe, I’m a fan of Pacquiao too, how can anyone not be, but I have to go with Margarito, even though (I think) only a miracle can help him pull this off.

  5. Lol, I see everyone loved it so I’ll say it again. GOooooooooooo!! PACQIUAO!!!! HA Haaaaaaaaaa. I luv that little dude, They should call him the giant killer.

  6. @ Tijuana, Yea bro I was thinking the same thing about the 24/7. I,d like to hear what margarito has to say him self about the whole hand wrap story. It should be interesting.

  8. I like the 24/7 series when it comes to boxing. I wonder if there is gonna be a decent undercard to this one. I admit the JMM vs. Diaz ppv was a good undercard for Golden Boy. Hopefully Top Rank throws something good together for this one.

  9. This is going to be an interesting 24/7 series, I loved the approached they did with Pacquiao Vs Cotto 24/7 and how they incorporated Cotto’s family into the mix, will be interesting to see how the fit in Margarito suspension and the whole wraps story in it.
    Can’t wait.
