COTTO-GOMEZ, struggling to sell Tickets???

Shit ain't selling because its not the day of the P. Rican day parade. For all that Gomez is known because the Contender talk is being proven to be bullshit. This is in no way saying that the fight should not be happening but maybe PBF is right Cotto is not well known and won't bring in the type of money he wants. Let me state again for the slow people I still think PBF should fight Cotto.

gomez whooped the bigger MAnfredo jr. Huh? You must not have seen the same fights I saw. He won the first fight, 3 rounds to 2 (and I had Manfredo winning three, so I thought he lost) and lost the second fight 5 rounds to 2! There was no whooping involved. As for why this fight isn't selling, I think it's a combination of factors. It's a mismatch, it's in Atlantic City instead of NY, it hasn't been marketed enough, and the best fight on the card is the undercard.

Goes to Show the Lack of Aggressive MArketing on the Top Rank staff...This is what UFC does good they hype, and market and sell and pitch a fight like crazy. Boxing Promoters only Market there PPV shows it seems, they dont really pitch the shows they put on basic cable or premium. I never even heard this fight be talked about at all on tv, or radio I live on the westcoast. ITs BS they should be selling this fight like crazy especially since its on regular HBO not ppv. the card is gonna be a barn burner. Domain is it possible for you to not mention the UFC or make comparisons between MMA and boxing? Every thread I read by you somehow jabs boxing for not being like MMA regardless of intention. They have a separate forum for that shit. Knock it off, it's getting obnoxious.

I live about an hour away from AC. I don't have extra money to spend on boxing tickets though. Looks like I'll be watching it in HiDef from home.

I’m Sorry this Fight is a Bad move on Bob Arum and Cotto's Part.... 1st. To try to get Cotto more exposure They make Cotto fight a bum.. When they were other better creditable marketable fighters were out there... (Cotto could of Fought Margoya) if he wanted to get more exposure But he fights Gomez...???? What does Gomez do for Cotto's Marketability..?? You can see them having problems selling out this arena With a good undercard... 2nd. They didn’t even try to market this fight, no interviews on ESPN, Nothing... They could at least have Gomez Slap Cotto to get some drama involve in this fight 3rd. They didn’t even put the fight in New York, where at least the fight would have seem like a huge event...and Put Cotto in a Hero Position when he wins. 4th. This fight is a LOSE LOSE situation... What if CottO loses..?? If Cotto Wins, It does nothing for his Career If he loses, it kills his career.... This Fight was a Bad Move... ESPN is nothing but a bunch of front runners. They dont know shit about boxing. You act like Arum can make a phone call and have Cotto/Gomez appear on TV. One of them will probably be a guest on FNF though.

I've been saying this since this fight was announced. A win over Gomez does absolutely NADA for Cotto's career or exposure. I still fail to realize how fighting Gomez is going to gain Cotto exposure! The only person gaining exposure out of this fight is Gomez.

I still want to see this fight, I am pretty sure Cotto will Ko Gomez, but I would count Gomez completely out yet. And is Cotto fighting Mayorga on the 19th of July? Because thats what boxingrec says: Miguel Cotto BoxRec

I thought about going but like others have said, it's a mismatch. I will 100% be there whether at the Garden or Boardwalk Hall if Cotto-Margarito happens.

horse shit in big letters!:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: cotto's fought more times in vegas than he has in new york.

Gomez's trainer tells Gomez during sparring that if he keep coming at Miguel, then Miguel will start going backwards... Gomez is definetly getting knocked out

This fight must not be in New York... is not..is in Atlantic CITY but im surprised because cotto-quintana sold out AC.

This fight must not be in New York...

Margarito vs Cotto will, guaranteed Please god let this fight happen soon :boxing:

It's a meaningless fight. I wouldnt pay to see it either.

Mexico vs Puerto Rico.... it will sell out...... No.........

Cotto clearly is the favorite but I wouldn't call Cotto-Gomez a mismatch. Gomez can get hit quite a bit at times which is bad news for him against Cotto, but hes larger and also defeated much larger opponents than Cotto. He has also progressed well over the years and seems to improve with each fight. This fight he will certainly try hard and theres also a chance Cotto is going to be a little more relaxed in his training as he has been rumored to do at times.

yea thats good. It should be a sweet fight for the first half before Cotto takes over with the body punches and Gomez starts to collapse like always. Cintron-Marg 2 is gonna be awsome as well Man i mean i wanna get excited about this card but i just cant, i personally dont see either being competitive, there both mismatches imho.

Cotto-Gomez will be barnburner for about 5 rounds. yea thats good. It should be a sweet fight for the first half before Cotto takes over with the body punches and Gomez starts to collapse like always. Cintron-Marg 2 is gonna be awsome as well

Gomez is not ready for Cotto. He probably never will be. Cotto is too strong and too good a boxer for him.
