100% on both counts my man

this fight screams NYC with Cotto and Foreman on the card BUT I think DiBella beat Arum to the punch and initially had Martinez Dzinziruk at MSG's smaller venue but when they realized the Big East tournament was there they moved to Uncasville CT

Should be in MSG where Cotto can surely sell it out.

Vegas? Just like Alexander and Bradley not being from Michigan, Cotto and Mayorga aren't from Vegas and neither have shown signs of drawing power outside of Cotto in NY or if it's against a Mexican fighter in the West Coast.

Fights are really being hurt not because supposedly boxing is dying, it's more because promoters are not agreeing on fighting where they can sell the most tickets. They are afraid of hometown decisions I know, but I mean you know there's gonna be a lot of free tickets given out for this fight.

[sigrab jr]

Three guys from the East Coast in 1 card, 2 from NY, 1 from NJ, fighting in the West Coast. Then we wonder why tickets are not selling. It's not the fighters faults.

yeah, this fight should have been in NY..............
