Bob Arum: ‘If this was anyone other than a Mexican kid....

[El Chicano]

....there would have been a different result!'

Bob Arum on the one year suspension of Antonio Margarito by the CSAC.

I agree.

Your thoughts?

[Clegg]

I disagree.

Arum will come out with whatever BS serves his cause. I'm a little surprised that it's taken him this long to play the race card.

The fact is that most people are against the idea of a boxer being able to put plaster inside his gloves.

Most people think that a boxer would know if his trainer loaded his gloves with something. It's the sort of thing that you tend to notice.

This isn't a pro-Mexican vs anti-Mexican subject. Nationality isn't an issue in this IMO.

I think its bull**** and he is just trying to pull the race card.. he gets no sympathy

[withoutthee]

I disagree.

So now they're playing the race card, eh?

Just when you didn't think this whole mess could get any worse.

Way to go Arum, you heartless fucking leech.

[M.I Truth ?]

Bob is not concerned about race relations in the sport. He is interested in making money. If Margarito was promoted by main events or Golden boy I'm sure Bob wouldn't be so quick to bring up race nor would he feel the penalty was unjust. I think if anyone had the evidence against them that Margarito had they would have been screwed just as hard.

Arum is just an old greedy bastard, I used to like the guy and thought he had his boxers best interest at heart. But I can see now it's just all about money. They ****ed his plans up for the rematch with Cotto and now he's bitter. His going to end paying for all this bull**** and he's going to find that that life can be a *****.
