Texas On The Take: And The Boxing Emberrassment

[Nuurzhaelan]

Yeah I know nothing will ever happen. It's too bad.

What I find staggering is that arum, before cheato even petitioned texas for a license, guaranteed that texas would grant one. HOW could he have known that?

It's as bad as dubya saying, while on a private jet, that the election was guaranteed.

Corruption at its most egregious.

I don't agree with this. Too many crooked decisions and commissions.

Well imagine watching an exciting fight......only to find out that it was fixed and one was paid off while the other took a dive. Yeah we get bad decisions here and there, but when the mob was running boxing....so many fights were fixed that it's hard to tell who was the best fighters back then.

Again imagine watching Pacquiao knocked out Floyd....only to read that Floyd was paid ex amount of money to take a dive. Talk about a kick in the nuts and being cheated as a fan.

Your talking about the Good Ol' boy state. Jerry Jones i'm sure has allot of pull. Jerry assures Arum, fight gets made = big bucks for all.

Welcome to the world of politics.. This will be forgotten, and Boxing will still be Boxing..

It's unbelievable how vindictive some boxing fans are.

the thing is...... what california should have done is suspend him indefinitely until their investigation was complete.

once they got the facts together , then they should have given him a definite lifetime ban or 2-3 year ban or whatever.

they didn't do that.

plus the thing that bugs me is how they say "margarito didn't admit it. margarito doesn't show remorse."

wtf does that matter?

they have the facts , they have the evidence. make a definite ruling on what he did.

don't give me some ****** mumbo jumbo about remorse , admission , etc.

punish him for what he did. give him a definite ban for life if you feel it warranted.

of course Texas is corrupt, they have their own set of rules and obviously Jerry Jones has a lot of POWER in Texas and we all know he wants that fight at his Stadium

Hey you do know that they are Kicking off the press tour in L.A.?

Talk about kicking the CSAC (and those who denied Margarito) right in the balls. I personally think it's funny..... but I guess to each his own.

The only way they could have been more disrespectful is if they would have kicked off the press tour in Puerto Rico.

Yes. I find it so deplorable it makes me sick. I am ashamed of margaCHEATo, texas, arum, margaCHEATo and anyone connected to and supporting this fight...and margaCHEATo.

After two respected state commissions decline to license a proven cheater leave it to a state with no moral integrity, Texas. As our favorite sport has seen its slow but steady decline into corruption, bad calls, blatant dodging, and horrible judgments, another blemish appears on her once glorious face. Licensing a man who should be behind bars along with his infamous trainer, Antonio "Margacheato" Margarito and the aforementioned Javier Capetillo. This decision both saddens and sickens me. I for one will not watch nor support this fight. I am fully aware that this will probably not make a difference in its success or failure but if we as true boxing fans unite and show these crooked scumbags they ill not profit from these deplorable actions then maybe they will stop shoving these bad fights down our throats.

Money is money and this fight will bring tons of it in. I'll say this about Texas.....given our nation's crappy economy where state's budgets are getting depleted and jobs are being cut right and left, Texas has one of the lowest unemployment rates of any state. Texas also has more fortune 500 companies centralized there than any other state too. Hate on them if you want but Cali and their "wise decisions" can't be too smart given their financial nightmare at the current moment.

No one is shoving the fight down anyone's throat, simply don't tune in and you are straight. They might be on the wrong side of the morality line on some things but if you are gonna go that route, then make sure you also have plenty of hate for Vegas too- the place that condones ********, prostitution, and the things that remain in the town that never sleeps.

Whats an embarrassment is your spelling.

Anyway, CA's loss is Texas's gain.

The only man with any sense on the CSAC was the fella who had boxed before. He knew the charges were bull**** and voted for reinstatement rightfully.

The others were simply self righteous bureauc**** who don't know **** about boxing trying to justify their meaningless existence.

WAR TONY!!!

Justice was finally served by the greatest state in the Union.
