    I care for the people that already made travel/hotel arrangements and that's why it'd be good to keep it MSG. However, if it gets made there, I would hope that it's because Margarito passes the eye exam, not because Arum bribed the commission. We don't need further corruption in an already unforgivable sport.

    And boxing is definitely the most exciting sport, I would agree with you but that's exactly it...boxing. At its core, it's primitive, savage, and dangerous if it's not handled properly under a commission willing to accept money for the sake of our entertainment and Margarito's permanent health.

      I just saw on Dan Rafael's twitter that a teleconference is gonna take place now with Cotto and Bob Arum, lets hope for some good news.

        It's been a great year, and we still have: S6 final, Margo - Cotoo, Robert Helenius fight, Povetkin fight, Amir Khan - Lamont Peterson and so on :-)

          Next year could be even worse than 2011, but boxing will still be around.

          The biggest hit was the Marquez Pacquiao fight, which completely killed any hype for Pacquiao Mayweather for some, especially when you consider that the fight could've happened 2 years ago

            this...wolak-rodriguez 1 is still my leading candidate for fight of the year unless they both outdo themselves in a couple weeks
