Arum Blasts California Commission Over Margarito

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

An angry Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has blasted the decision of the California State Athletic Commission revoking the license of former WBO welterweight champion Antonio Margarito after his trainer Javier Capetillo took full responsibility for using a plaster-like substance on Margarito’s hand wraps before his title defense against Shane Mosley.

Bob Arum is a snake and a cancer to boxing

Did anyone actually expect anything different?

[MANGLER]

Nothin to ***** about Bob. It coulda been a lot worse.

[Dirt E Gomez]

Arum brought up the race card saying if Marg wasn't Mexican he wouldn't have been treated that way...

Fuck off Bobby.

[Ishy Aytan]

How can Margarito not know what was in the pads? He's a 30+ year old boxer whos been fighting all his life.

The guy isnt ******.

[Feint]

Arum is just embarrassing himself with these statements.

Arum makes me sick. If Margarito goes without a year and fights in Mexico I hope they never give him a boxing license in America. Serve the one year, learn from your punishment, then come back. No shortcuts. Even if it were true that Margarito didn't have a clue which is very doubtful you were part of the crime for being to ****** to realize or question whats going on with your body. Do the crime, do the time.

Dude I think you really over-estimate Arum's sensitivity to embarrassment. For that matter most promoters. I honestly believe you cannot embarrass guys like Arum, Don King and Frank Warren.

I totally expected this, even if it was another promoter.

C'mon, even if Margarito can still fight in other states, does Bob really think that's better for Margarito? it's much better for him... it will only gradually break Margarito down both physically and mentally. Remember that he just lost his championship belt and got KO'ed then... suspended...then got his boxing license revoked. Even if Margarito is innocent which Bob thinks... does Bob really believe that Margarito will not be affected by the scandal? that other top fighters would agree to fight him? what is there to gain winning a fight with Margarito... I guess the only reason is money... but were would the money come from if no one would come to see the fight. Give the guy a break Bob.
