    No, any card he is on I will not support.
    If I stopped supporting corrupt promoters, I wouldn't be able to watch boxing at all. You know that.

    But we aren't talking corrupt promoters. Talking about the guy who promotes and pays the guy you say will not get another penny from you.

    Arum has defended Margarito a bunch as well. Isn't that worth boycotting the promoter as well?

    They are all crooked. It's impossible to place the blame on 1 promoter.

    Do you think a pimp who let's a ***** with AIDS keep hitting the streets worse than one who let's a ***** with hepatitis go out?

    What if the pimp didn't know? ...The NSAC obviously didn't watch the movie 12 Angry Men.

    I don't know. It's not clear enough just how hard and dangerous his wraps were. Yes there are different degrees. I think they just weren't clear and specific enough with the public as they should have been.

    Again...this isn't about corrupt promoters. It's about Margarito and HIS promoter. Just seems odd to boycott ONLY Margarito and not his enabler/promoter/money man. Hell...if you want to dig history...Arum is probably a worse person then Margarito.

    Yeah, but boycotting his fighter hurts him.
    It's not like arum was loading his gloves, he's just a numbers guy.

    Exactly. The investigation was done soo poorly from the beginning, seems most posters don't even agree/know on what was concluded.

    Just a numbers guy who gets people to watch that boxer you refuse to endorse. Just a guy who will make it much easier for Margarito to get big money fights (which he most likely will). Just a guy who will giver Margarito many more opportunities (as long as he wins).

    Boycotting Arum hurts the entire scheme of things. Sends a message. Boycotting Margarito does nothing. Well, save you a few pennies.

    Absolutely, Henry Fonda would have had the NSAC writing a formal apology to Margarito after he was done with them.

    I like your AIDS analogy. What if the prostitute refused the test? ...Do we let her out on the streets? ..More to the point, do we let Manny Pacquiao into the ring?
