Cotto-Margarito 24/7

1. Nobody outside of the US (perhaps Mexico) knows waht the fuck a DeLaHoya is 2. "Everyone wanted to see him loose" Before DLH nobody really knew who Mayweather is. De La Hoya is well known in Thailand too. Guys who you wouldn't even call casual fans of boxing know who he is.

\ Oscar is arguably the most popular boxer ever, after Tyson in PPV sale and is a huge global star. Mayweather was the undefeated champions, P4P best boxer then and everyone wanted to see him lose. 1. Nobody outside of the US (perhaps Mexico) knows waht the fuck a DeLaHoya is 2. "Everyone wanted to see him loose" Before DLH nobody really knew who Mayweather is.

I think in order to have a good 24/7 you have to have a lot of junk/bragadocious and big personalities. Mayweather had a lot of interesting components that made for good drama. A father Sr. that talked junk, Roger same, PBF same. On the other hand you have Billy Graham and Hatton who while not apprently initiating it he does retaliate (calling PBF boring). Hatton's dad didn't hold back too much either did he. PBF-DLH was actually not that interesting if it wasn't for PBF. DLH is to PC and boring for me. DLH is smart because he picks big personalities to fight, Hopkins, Mayorga, Vargas, PBF.

Drives my point home, even clearer! Why, Bob Arum couldn’t push HBO for a 24/7 series for Cotto/Margarita? You no why, because he properly would’ve have to pay for it and thought, fuck it, the fans, won’t mind.. PRPP It would of been nice, but in the end, this is a fight for US. The real fans of boxing. And, to be honest, I don't think Cotto or Margarito are hugely concerned about how many PPV's this does or if there's 5000 or 10000 people watching the fight in person. Anybody who knows anything about boxing will be watching this fight one way or another. and both these guys are coming away with a decent check regardless.

I thought it was great. I watched it this morning on boxingscene..Its up man it was on front page.

24/7 ? It sucked, it made Cotto look like a clown and a fighter that doesn't take his job seriously. It made Margarita look like the kid that always got bullied and now gets a shot to get back at them.. Fuck 24/7 they did this fight an injustice, didn’t Oscar/Gayweather have a month long series? Then Arum's crying about ticket sales being down. The fight should’ve never been in Las Vegas, if the fight would have taken place in the East fucking Coast, there wouldn’t be any stories of slacking ticket sales. This is what happens, when you’re an old greedy, bastard. I don’t see Arum promoting to much longer. Besides his under cards sucks and can’t hold a candle next to Don King fights, when (TITO) was still fighting.. PRPP

thanks......

its airing at 11am eastern time. i am about to watch it again.
