    That's true the Drugs cheats and Glove cheats should be treated equally to a degree

    What would happen then, Mexico?

    And if the Margarito fight falls through altogether because of this, who would Arum go to next? Is there anybody else in the Top Rank stable that could be sold as a possible Pacman opponent, or who else could a deal be made withl Berto or Bradley maybe?

    I thought that this was the original plan....bigger gate than Vegas and the same timezone as Vegas to accommodate all the fat arsed couch fans :deal

    Good on you Cali. Show the middle finger to this cheating scum. As long as Cali is not trying to call Jerry's bluff they should be applauded. (even though i kind of miss Margarito lol)

    On a sidenote. Was watching Wednesday Night Fights (some of you might of been virgins when it was last on so, yes it's returned) did anybody hear old Teddy 'scarface' Atlas?

    I've got to say...Gaat damn it Teddy! Both Dan F. & Brian K. threw you a softball to call out Jerry Jones to step away from his cronies in the Texas Boxing Commission to do the right thing and follow CSAC's decision on Cheato. But Scarface couldn't resist filibustering with Panama Lewis parallels and never place the public bullseye on the target: Jerry Jones in consortium with Arum! Damn it Teddy, act like you've been there before and get a f* clue, short bus.

    Maybe Mexico but would it make as much money there?

    Who would be the better draw out of Berto and Bradley I'm not sure.

    Ya I don't know how much money is to be made in Mexico. You could pack a big stadium alright, but if there was good money to be made surely there'd be more top fights put on there. Anybody else know what the story is with this?

    Berto is probably a better draw I guess, I not a fan of his skills though, would prefer to see Bradley fight him but his drawing power is poor.

    There's always a 3rd fight with Marquez as well, that would sell. We know Marquez is up for it, I'll bet he's waiting to see how this plays out before he agrees to any other fight.

    I think Bob arum also had half an eye of it bein in the UAE because they were looking to put up BUCCKETLOADS of cash for it and it gave Manny tax loopholes. I think if Texas etc fall through he will stick it there for the cash and tax advantages

    Yeah Marquez/Pac III would be the fight to make, they'd be massive interest.
    Be a good fight for Manny to take 'cos I think Juan's age might be knocking on his door a little in terms of reactions/speed but Manny seems to be in the prime of his life still
