Bob Arum recognizes the fact that Las Vegas could use the economic boost from a big fight but he thinks the Nevada State Athletic Commission is dead set against allowing Antonio Margarito to fight anytime soon. So the back up plans are being lined up for his fight against Manny Pacquiao.
"If this fight does not wind up in Las Vegas, I don't want anyone to say that it was because of Bob Arum," he told Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole. "I live in this town and I know how much this city needs that event, but it looks like (the NSAC) is digging its heels in on this."
Iole says the favorite is now Cowboys Stadium, the site of the last Pacquiao fight against Joshua Clottey. He compares and contrasts the way Nevada handled Mike Tyson's many offenses in the past. Iole says Nevada is wrong to deny Margarito the chance to fight again.
