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.
