Apparently Miguel Cotto has reached out to Nick Diaz and asked him to help him train for Margarito. Crazy how shit has changed nowadays.
WHY NICK DIAZ THOUGH??? HE FEEL SAD FOR NICK AFTER HEARING NICK SAY HE WAS BROKE AND WANTED TO GIVE HIM A LIL PART TIME JOB?
OR DOES HE PLAN TO GIVE MARGARITO A GO GO PLATA?

Only reason I can think of is cuz Diaz will keep coming forward in sparring and throwing punches no matter what, plus his hand speed is kinda slow like margarito but heavy handed.

I think the perfect "Margarito-lite" in boxing is Angulo. He'd be ideal for sparring imo but I'm sure he's still broken from the James Kirkland beating he took.

Also I know Cotto has friends in the MMA world, I recall him sparring with Miguel Torres and mentioning fighting in the mma could be a possibility.

Fucking FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Source: New York Athletic Commission will reject Antonio Margarito's application for a license. Margarito-Cotto will move out of NY


Bob Arum tells SI that Texas, Denver and Mississippi will be looked at as alternate venues. Announcement will come at end of the day.​




The fight is not cancelled, they are looking to find another venue ASAP from what I understand and I think they will be able to get it. My only concern is if it's in say, Texas, would Cotto back out? Because he was very adamant on having this in NY so he could have "home court advantage" with all the puerto ricans. Aint no puerto ricans in texas.

Cotto said yesterday if the fight is not in NY, he's pulling out. Which probably means he wants more money. Top Rank making a PPV fight before the fighter was medically cleared is a joke. and a black eye for boxing. Karma is catching up do Bob Arum for messing Manny vs Mayweather, Gamboa vs Juanma, and etc...

Right. The reason those three places are mentioned is cuz there are essentially no real boxing commissions thete. If they try to do it in say new Jersey they would just follow NY and not give margarito a liscense where as those other places wont give a shit
