Live stream of Cotto-Pacquiao press conference

Tecate CEO at press conference?… Damn…

"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."

Bob Arum couldn’t be more wooden and corny if he was trying.

This is about as far as I can get. There is nothing more boring than a boxing press conference. Bunch of old guys jibber jabbering.

ugh diamond barf, WBC ought to be ashamed

they just showed one of the WBC doofuses with that disgusting diamond belt. Disgusting not because of how it looks, but because it represents them milking more money from fighters and promoters.

SC i'll take over

… before inviting the disgusting WBC representative to the podium, Arum plugged History Channel’s Pawn Stars, and because of his accent it sounded like “porn stars” and everyone had a chuckle

I saw that part. The guy and the diamond belt was as far as I could make it. I’m tired as all hell and that wasn’t helping.
