Pacquiao Season

Sports fans have started toshift their eyes on boxing this time of the year. With the much anticipated match between pacquiao and margarito this nov 13, one can not deny that the interest and enthusiasm generated by the match, which centers on margarito's shrewed past and pacquiao's reported lack of preparation, have been more than what most people predicted.

What stood out most is that I don't remember seeing this kind of buzz during the cotto fight, and most certainly not out of the last Clottey-Pacquiao fight which despite the anonimity, filled up upthe cowboys stadium with 50,000 people, 40,000of whichi guess were Noypi's

Give it to Arum for his dedication to make sure margarito be allowed to fight, and more to his dedication to make a strong stand on margarito's innocence. Bob Arum's supposed argument isclear, margarito is the best possible match up for pacquiao, not because the plaster scandal makes the buzz bigger with intrigue, but beause margarito's physical advantages poses the biggest challenge for pacman. But of course, you know better.
