Arum: "Texas Commission said everything is OK with Margarito's license"

Boo...i don't like none of this!!! Now run and tell that!

None of the 108,000 people complained after the All-Star game http://theshoegame.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/nba-2010-all-star-game1.jpg Honestly I was there for both (all star game and Pac vs Clottey) as well as the fact I use to live in Vegas. I understand not too many places come close to the party scene in Vegas but Fukk all of that...the atmosphere in Cowboys stadium>>>>>>>atmosphere in MGM Grand. Too bad Clottey stunk up the place but the atmosphere for the all star game was crazy and I expect the Mexicans to have Cowboy Stadium fired up.

I had more hope in my state, damnit. Man you should know first hand that Texas doesn't give a sh1t about anything but winning and big sporting events. There was so much b.s. with the Cowboys and college programs like SMU, TCU and Texas. Basically if you are good here, you can basically get away with murder...real talk (because there will always be someone to help cover it up).

Cowboys Stadium > that small piece of shit MGM Grand. If Pac/Clottey brought 50,000+ people this fight with all the Mexicans in TX could reach up to 70,000-90,000 people. Yeah, definitely way more Latinos in TX. Doesn't really matter where it happens, as long as it's not the stinker that Pac-Clottey left behind. Cowboys stadium deserves a much better matchup than the last one for sure. That's if the Margarito hype lives up to its billing.

Who didn't see this coming?

Seems like I need to get my money ready for a couple tickets... Why are some people shittn on dtown for? THere are places to go after the fight.. just like other big cities... we partied at a couple different places including an afterhours party spot after the clottey fight. Hell yeah bring them fights to Texas

NELSON MANDELA of boxing ANTONIO MARGARITO is finally free! OUJEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I smell BS but the Texas commission smells $$$$$$$$ :cool2:

Worst boxing state known to man.

ARUM WAS NEVER TRYING TO REALLY MAKE THIS FIGHT HAPPEN!!! You have no proof at all that this was the case.

It is hard to believe that the contract or contract negotiaiton is real, but simply a fairy tale....a fallacy construed by Top rank to sway the public and media into their favor. Top rank wants us to believe that Floyd is the hold up, that he is depriving the fans the fight of century! But hey, that is all just speculation and opinion. But these are the facts that led me to this specualtion and form these opinions. Clottey fight in Dallas Top rank making the clottey fight in dallas was the 1st move to side step a potential Floyd fight this year. 1st off, Arum knows that Floyd isn't fighting anywhere else but Vegas. So he develops a relationship with Jerry jones to land multiple fights at Dallas stadium. the 1st fight was with Clottey and the 2nd fight will be with Margarito who will most likely get his license renewed in Texas before any other commission. This way Arum can take advantage of the geography being close to Mexico and keeping all the $$$ in-house there was an article on this very site where margarito stated Arum promised him pacquiao! now they may be scheduled for a fight for a vacant title at 154 which would be pacquaio's so-called 8th title in 8 different weight classes Top Rank then got Cotto into position to become champ at 154 just after his loss to Pacquiao. How does Cotto get a title shot after taking a 1-sided loss...I'll tell you why , so that pacquiao can have shot at a so-called 8th title Top rank was also pushing cotto and margarito has opponents for Pacquiao ever since the Mosley win. Arum even went so far to say that mosley would be floyd's toughest challenge because of his size and speed before floyd had agreed to fight Mosley Top rank then states that their is gag order on the negotiations but continued to violate the so-called gag order every day for the last month. who states that their is a gag-order and then proceed to break the gag-order within the same statement Then Arum states that the contract was agreed upon by all parties confirmed by golden Boy and it is awaiting Floyd's signature and then turns around last week and says that he talked to Ross Greenburg exclusively next, he allegedly sends a contract to Team Mayweather with previous agreements that are no longer acceptable and have been publicly stated by mayweather that those agreements were null and void. And on top of that, he assessed a deadline to the best fighter of the world who genrates the most money, makes the most PPV sales, and generates the larger gate revenue in his fights in comparison to pacquiao. And nevermind in 41 fights Floyd has never lost or come close to losing, has been the best or 1 of the best since 99, and been the youngest fighters to achieve championships in multiple division while remaining undefeated and arum feels it is OK to place a pacquiao deadline on him. Top Rank does not call the shots, pacquiao does not call the shots, how dare they try and impose a deadline on this eras best fighter! finally, once the pacquiao deadline has been given...Bob has continously pushed and rushed a decision from Team mayweather depsite the fight date being nov 13, 4 months away!!!!! And who decide nov 13, maybe Nov 13 is the only weekend that dallas is available during this NFL season. why all the urgency when the clottey fight was made in 2 mos? why nov 13th when you know floyd isn't fighting in dallas? This some BS by Arum! ARUM WAS NEVER TRYING TO REALLY MAKE THIS FIGHT HAPPEN!!! http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/pp354/gazalajeff/junk/tin-foil-hat.jpg

ARUM already said that 2 inspectors said that Margarito didnt know!

That doesn't mean they're approving it. Everything is "OK" means they probably submitted everything. Last time they did, Texas stalled long enough to ruin the fight. You know if they license him, they'll be in trouble with CSAC and Vegas at the same time.

wb margarito :D
