I know boxrec gets ahead of their selves from time to time, but they got it set up already stating that it'll be in New Jersey, I thought Vegas was the front runner for the venue,
I'm wondering when Margarito will start to reapply for these states athletic commissions to get licensed again. because so far it's only been Texas, the most corrupt boxing state, to allow him to box.
Has there been any articles confirming it'll be in New Jersey or are they just assuming?
no way i see cotto beating sergio or margarito. no hate on cotto...i used to be a fan but stopped following him since he hasn't fought any quality guys since pac. lets be honest arum is milking him at the moment...he has a huge following and arum wont let that go to waste. props to everything cotto has accomplished.
It will most likely be in Vegas but if they do it in Jersey i know about 15 people personally who will be out there. I really think this fight has the potential to sell 25k plus tickets in the new giants stadium if it is marketed right.
If it gets done, will bet. I dont care how succesfull anybody looks at a certain time, styles makes fight.
Cotto KOs this due at 154!!!
Very Bold Statement there bro..haha
But you can forget about seeing Sergio back at 154lbs, he's going to be at 160 and soon enough 168, so if a Cotto match does get made it'll be another bs catchweight of like 157-158lbs, and I see Cotto being outgunned there due to size disadvantage,
I would love to see Cotto vs Martinez but Cotto ain't winning that one much less koing Sergio

Yes, so you know arum will push for that Pacquiao rematch to millk him some more.
I hope after this fight with MArgo he fights Sergio MArtines at 154, Ill bet all my points that Cotto KOs him!!!

LMAO! 20% won't happen..but I agree bro, Margarito doesn't deserve sh!t.
65-35 sounds right, but knowing Arum, he's gonna do 60-40..and give Cotto the PPV shares.
I was really hoping this fight would be made in MSG, in July, but stupid Camp Margarito let that man get his ass whooped all over that ring for much longer than he was supposed to, now we gotta wait til Sept.
Isn't Cotto's contract up with Top Rank after this year?

The split should be 80% to 20% in favor of Miguel and teh fight should be in the Meadowlands or MSG, or in PR. Margarito should not get any concession at all!!

I always wonder what Cotto would be had he been a GBP fighter...
Cotto-Mayweather would've probably happened back in 2008..
Arum has been careful with Cotto's progress and success but since he lost he seems to have lost interest and is milking his worth while he can instead of looking out for his well being and giving him what he deserves like the Margarito rematch in the east coast..and if Margarito is getting more than 35% than Cotto is getting robbed blind

I've said it numerous times that Arum has mistreated Miguel. When he fought Foreman it seemed like Arum wanted to build Foreman into a star, the whole bringing Margarito on stage during Miguels press conference after the Mayorga fight, now the way he conducted the rematch of being in Vegas. You're absolutely right, having it in Vegas is awful and unfair to Miguel.
People argue that Arum has made Miguel a lot of money, which is true but he did that to line his pockets. Arum has always treated Miguel like garbage.

MSG is perfect 20,000+ people definitely would sell out and the atmosphere would just be NUTS!!!..
Cotto is getting screwed again low key, he's the Champ, hasn't been suspended for cheating, coming off 2 wins and still has to go West Coast and fight on the weekend of Mexican Independence, LMAO...Arum continues to sh!t on Cotto.
Indeed, Cotto should just say either the fight stages in NY/NJ area or no fight, but this cats let them promoters controlled them like poppets!!
I'm so against stadiums like those. I was at the Yankee Stadium fight and although it was pretty electric, an outdoor venue just losses some of the noice and atmosphere. Put it in boardwalk and the crowd will be loud and just nuts. It should be on the east coast for sure. Marg had his home advantage and could only get 11,000 people. Put this in MSG and have twice the amount of crazy fans pulling for Miguel. We gonna bring the house down come fight night.
