Posted on ESPN. What a disgrace. And HBO and Showtime turned down Pavlik-Mora. Another Top Rank pay-per-view.
On the summer show, Pavlik (35-1, 31 KOs), 26, will face Mora (21-1-1, 5 KOs), 28, in Atlantic City while the second half of the pay-per-view will come from Mexico and feature junior middleweight attraction Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., who first headlines his own Top Rank PPV card March 28 against Luciano Cuello in Tijuana.
Although former welterweight titleholder Antonio Margarito had his license revoked in California last month for attempting to use loaded hand wraps in his January knockout loss to Shane Mosley and is unable to box in the United States, Arum said he might put Margarito on the Mexican portion of the card. Mexican officials have said they would welcome Margarito there despite his license revocation in the U.S.
"We're definitely going to do the show from two sites," Arum said. "It'll be a big show from Mexico with Pavlik fighting in Atlantic City. Chavez Jr. will be on in Mexico, but Margarito is also possible."

I think Margarito shouldn't get his license back in the US period, this is a slap in the face to the US commissions.
