Cotto-Margarito West Bound, Vegas Caves In

As reported a few days ago by Steve Kim of MaxBoxing, the Nevada State Athletic Commission agreed to meet with promoter Bob Arum to discuss the state's glove rule. In Nevada, fighters 135-pounds and above must wear 10-ounce gloves. In every other corner of the United States, fighters wear 8-ounce gloves up until 147-pounds, with 10-ounce gloves being worn by all fighters above the welterweight limit. [details]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!



ARUM really wants it to be there too because he believes PPV will do better because more west coast media can attend and some other bull****.

I think Vegas is a bad move. Antonio doesn't sell alot of tickets, and there are not that many Puerto Ricans in the West.

But I guess the casinos in Vegas offered more than the casinos in AC.

that was why cotto said he'll never fight in vegas, he doesn't want the 10oz. gloves.

but if they can let them off with 8oz in vegas, that would be nice.

So I guess the Vegas commission has thrown what they seem ethical out the window in favor of money.

Reason #843 to despise Arum...

NO IT WILL DO FINE..because the fight will be heavily promoted and is good casul fans from the west meet cotto but at the same time i wanted to go to that fight.

sounds like arum is going to be throwing some comps cotto's way to entice him to vegas.
this is hughe!!

[Silencers]

That is a ****** rule to begin with, there's no proof that it actually helps protect the fighter.

Money talks.... Bull**** walks.
