Often fights at the Garden have been held in that little crappy ball room because they can't fill the real arena.Malignaggi doesn't have a history of drawing crowds and Khan is a virtual unknown in the States.
Have they announced which room it will be held in?
Malignaggi fought Cotto in the arena. But I don't believe a fighter like Khan has any recognition in NYC. Maybe if Paulie gets to unify the titles he'll fight in the arena.
yeah but that was because of cotto if malignaggi fought almosy any other jr ww at that time i doubt it would have sold out the wamu
Yea, it's really a shame when you consider NYC is the mecca of boxing in the US... and the largest city in the US...and Malignaggi is a New Yorker.

Thanks.That's a shame but there are very few fighters who can actually fill the real venue.
