Arum: "I'm Going To Get Margarito A Fight In Mexico - On PPV!"

Top Rank's Bob Arum, Margarito's promoter, was incensed by the ruling and said they would fight it through California state court.

"It's the most bizarre thing I've ever experienced," Arum told ESPN.com. "It's not going to hold up. The commission determined that Antonio knew nothing and did nothing wrong, but that he is head of his team, so he's responsible for the trainer and, therefore, it is appropriate to revoke his license.

"How can you revoke somebody's license when they didn't do anything or wrong or attempt to do anything wrong? Capetillo admitted that he made an inadvertent mistake and said Tony knew nothing about it. Margarito is a nice guy and deserves better than this."

During the hearing, Margarito attorney Daniel Petrocelli, who has represented such clients as Fred Goldman of O.J. Simpson civil trial fame and former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling, had an inspector say that Margarito didn't appear to know what was going on.

Arum said he would fight it in court as well as appeal to the Association of Boxing Commissions, which represents state and tribal boxing commissions.

While trying to have the ruling overturned, Arum said he would set up a fight for Margarito in Mexico. Although other states will respect California's ruling, other countries won't necessarily adhere to it. Fighters banned in America have often found Mexico hospitable.

The ruling means that Margartio's proposed June rematch with Miguel Cotto, whom he knocked out last summer to win the title, is off unless the ruling is reversed.

"We'll figure out a fight for him in Mexico," Arum said. "It will be on one of our pay-per-view shows this summer. I think we'd have the opportunity to do 200,000 or 300,000 buys."

 

I will definitely NOT be buying any PPV fights with Margo while he is suspended in the USA.

 

Jewish gangster!!!

 

Not anymore you're not getting 200,000-300,000 PPV buys. Inadvertant mistake my dick.

 

200k-300k buys? LOL

 

What is it with Bob Arum and PPVs most of them fail big time but he doesnt learn.

 

Well from the way it is described here, the process does sound a little fishy. It doesn't seem like they even waited for the tests to prove what exactly was in the wraps.

Arum might be right, this could get overturned.

 

I'll buy it if Arum can get a decent oppoenent for the card, if not then no thanks.

 

Even if it were a Cotto rematch!? :hey

 

Does Cotto get to wear plaster wraps this time? Please?

 

LMAO this guy is such a freaking sleezebag. :rofl Its the most bizarre thing hes ever experienced in his life that a guy gets suspended for breaking the rules? LMAO. If somone put some illegal **** in my wraps, i would defintly know. Because I have eyes and senses. Im sure tony's whole team kept that a secret from him bob :think


"How can you revoke somebody's license when they didn't do anything or wrong or attempt to do anything wrong?

He was about to go into a championship fight with illegal wraps. I dont understand this statement at all.

Capetillo admitted that he made an inadvertent mistake and said Tony knew nothing about it

Yea inadvertently put an illegal substance in his fighters wraps. Just like college frat boys inadvertently put date **** drugs in the vodka.

had an inspector say that Margarito didn't appear to know what was going on.

the same inspectors that were going to clear tony to fight before nazim made a big fuss? how are these guys credible at all?

200,000 to 300,000 PPV buys equal alot of pesos. Now that the dollar is pretty much worthless this might be a good thing for Margarito.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl At least Margo didnt **** Jin That asian dude was ****ed up
