ur telling me the guy who holds the record for maxing out MSG cant sell 20-30k? on the eve of the puerto rican day parade? plus, u guys do know puerto ricans dont even know who hes fighting? they just know hes fighting? (trust me im from nyc)..plus its a title shot, in the bronx(huge puerto rican population), and foreman has created his own jewish fans as seen at the iseali parade ...
Cotto isnt a draw....Margarito is a draw he fights a lesser known oponent, sells 20k on a comeback fight with bearly any promotion, everyone supposely hates him but yet people were dying to see antonio back.
I live in Jersey and nobody is interested in the fight. The main point of the fight people are saying is "OMG YANKEE STADIUM AND IT"LL BE COTTOS LAST FIGHT!!!" 10k of tickets sold is because it is the Yankee Stadium otherwise i doubt no more then 5k ricans will attend.
The public isnt stupid everyone knows Cotto is shot even my boys that bearly watch boxing say Cotto is done now, and nobody knows who Cotto is fighting they just know its Cotto fighting in the Yankee Stadium.
Overall this is a weak and pathetic card they put out. This whole fight at Yankee Stadium hurt boxing because of lack of stardom, how the hell are they going to put bunch of no namers fight at a big venue. why isnt JuanMa or Vasquez JR not on this to help support the card.
Will you be watching the fight? I'll bet you won't miss it. Might not be a draw in your opinion, but i will guarantee come fight night you will be drawn in.
Well if he would have just fought in MSG like he always does, it would almost be sold out and not look so bad... This ain't the old days where they are gonna sell out Yankee stadium, people.. Idk why you all thought there were gonna be like 50,000 people.. He has a big PR following but this isn't a big fight..
Mann.. **** Margarito. Cheater in my book. Cotto has more pull than Margarito will ever have. Shane raped that ass dry. Plaster using piece of shit... If he wouldnt of gotten caught, who knows what wouldve happened that night....
He has most sale at Staple Center in any kind of sporting event/concert, something not even the Lakers have not even done. Sorry you may hate on Margarito or not but that guy can sell out Azteca or Dallas no problem. this is a fact. People want to see Margarito
dude the only reason the lakers dont have that is because there are more seats in a boxing event. and cotto has the same at msg

Pac is watching the fight. that will pull in more ppl ;-)
yeah stop hating on cotto u idiots,just becuase the dude loses2 times,and the guy never ducked nobody,and him and pacquiao sold out mgm and 1.4 million ppv buys.why and how could u hate on someone that does that.i dont care who it is,if they do that how the **** could i talk bad about that person.STOP HATING damn.
Could it be that the Peurto Rican community in NY, just dont see Cotto as there hero no more after losing his two most important fights? If this was Tito the stadium would be sold out... I think Cotto might have exhausted all the hope in him from the fans......
if you want it in america biggest draws are as following
1.Pacquiao
2.Mayweather
3.Margarito
4.Hatton
5.Cotto
6.Mosley
7.Alvarez
Cotto only sells tickets because all of his fights are on Rican parade, hes a good draw im not gunna lie but if he doesnt fight on rican day parade his numbers go down significantly. Margarito on the other hand goes up everytime
Are u really that stupid??
i think you should be shaking your head...thats the most wreckless comment i read all day...NY is basically puerto rico
Ricans beat off over Yankees most of the time this is suppose to be home for Cotto and bearly any tickets have been sold for a venue of this magnitue. btw 20k hasnt been sold i read its 13,500 but they can make 20k. i doubt we would see 20k in puerto rico for a cotto fight. maybe 12k will comeout over there.
i mean for a NY, Yankee Stadium, Ricans Parade, Boxing, Cotto event all put into one these numbers are highly disappointing
Mexico or USA its proven Margarito sells.
If Margaritos last fight was in LA staples center he would of sold about 5000
im sorry he wouldnt sell 20k after being called a cheater, banned in usa, inactive for a year and half, called bunch of names. Nobody expected anyone to support margarito and here he comes pulls out 20k. Maybe Cotto can pull 20k against a semi known oponent. but if he went through what margarito went through he wouldnt pull more then 6k
that cause puerto ricans have more class
we dont support cheaters
;)
