Steve Kim on Cotto-Margo II situation: "I believe it's in jeopardy"

[RL_GMA]

Makes no sense. Why would they be going through the whole ordeal of having the fight in NY if it was going to be a problem in the 1st place let alone the promotion for the fight is already on and poppin. I need "real" confirmation.

[Bushbaby]

As much as I would like Cotto to avenge his loss, the fact remains that margarito is a cheating scumpot & really doesn't deserve the fight.

Smells like bull****!!!!!

Stevie been off lately with his sources.

[crillz]

the whole fact he got a fight against Pacquiao in Texas is unbelievable as is let alone getting any fight ever again. the fact that we still even talking about this dude as a boxer is only proof of Bob Arums assfucking of the sport for all these years for his own benefit, best believe Margarito would not have come back had he not been under Bob Arum's camp and had Bob not had a vested money interest in Margarito, that type of shit makes me sick to my fucking stomach, they allowed to pimp the game all because these slimeballs feel like they above everyone else and no one does or says anything about it

the only reason why it will hurt me not watching this fight is because I love Cotto he is top 5 1 of my favorite active fighters today but I'm not gonna watch the fight, the face off nor the 24/7. this whole fight happening is a big slap in the face of fighters whom don't cheat, his career continuing is a complete mockery of standards and principles by the commissions and it's all happening because he's down with Bob Arum.

when it happened to Collins (R.I.P) he was a rising Top Rank star at that time) and it benefitted him for Collins to shine and win what happened? Resto and Lewis got locked up and banned for life, there was no defense from Bob Arum saying "Louie is clean , he didn't know" and no legal back up for Resto, if anything he sided with the Collins family. now that it benefits him to support the cheater suddenly the cheater who is accused of the same thing Resto was accused of just not to such a brutal extent he gets a 1 year suspension, no jail time and is back making a 7 digit pay not even a full 2 years later.

I'm sorry I just can't give that a pass..

[any craic lad?]

Damn ill wait to see what happens but this if true might be the end of Margos career in the US

[savorduhflavor]

Kim just updated his twitter with........and this is paraphrased...

'Someone at Top Rank told me they were going ahead with the fight, I'll try and find out more once I land in Vegas'

'I just think that any time Margarito fights there will be some obstacles to get over'


So I think it's safe to say the fight is still a go as of now...

I wouldnt take steve kim sources serious. Dude been talking out his azz for a min now.

[MrRolltide91]

i don't believe this

[WombBat]

since when did steve kim talk out his ass. if its about the morales mayweather thing, that was legit. already been confirmed by morales and other sources. obviously the negotiations stopped once they found out people were reacting negatively. this is obvious as hell
