Pacquiao vs Margarito fight is heading towards the Cowboys Stadium
Aug 17th
A source close to the negotiating parties hinted that the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight is heading towards the Cowboys Stadium outside Dallas. Former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito is scheduled to appear before the California State Athletic Commission with the view of regaining his fighting license back after it was stripped off him.
If California grants the license back to Margarito, there is strong likelihood that Texas will also grant this to Margarito. But assuming otherwise, there will still be no problem because there are other states which already expressed interest to Bob Arum that they are willing to grant license to Antonio Margarito.
Pacquiao’s bout in Abu Dhabi UAE
Aug 17th
Manny Pacquiao’s next fight could be staged in Abu Dhabi UAE, according to the boxer’s management. Set to take place on November 13, the bout – against either Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito – would likely take place at the Concert Arena, Yas Island, the venue for the recent Ultimate Fighting Champion battle. Confirmation on the November 13 event expected by end of July 2010.
Hailing from the Philippines, Pacquiao is reportedly keen to stage the event in the Emirates due to its large population of expatriate Filipinos.
Pacquiao is the first boxer in the history to win seven world titles in seven different weight divisions — flyweight, super bantamweight, featherweight, super featherweight, lightweight, light welterweight and welterweight.
