[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto will face Antonio Margarito in a rematch on September 17 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the purse of the Puerto Rican could be worth as much as $6 million dollars, according to Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank. Margarito is having additional tests conducted to ensure that his injuries, suffered in the bout with Manny Pacquiao last November, are fully healed.

this fight worthy of a cashout for the loser
it will be another grueling fight that will finish the loser's career
actually it may finish both
each guy deserves a nice check for this one

Well if you read the article it says Marg won't be medically cleared to fight on July and September 17 would be a good date because of the Mexican holiday.

Only $6M? Floyd got himself 25M to fight a LW at WW in a tune-up. The best Bob Arum can do for Cotto after sacrificing him to a plaster monkey and a juice monkey is.... 6M dollars?

Weak.

Would 1+ million people pay $54.95 to see Cotto-Margarito II?

How about Bob dips into his reserves for a fighter that's probably sacrificed a good 5 years of clean living for this sport and primarily for Top Rank.
