If Yuriorkis Gamboa beats Ponce De Leon on Sept. 10, Top Rank's plan calls for Gamboa to return 12/3 on the Cotto-Margarito II PPV. #boxing
So this means Donaire, Gamboa, and possibly Wolak-Rodriguez II on one card? And that's the undercard! I just ejaculated.
Not buying this bullsh!t!!! Should be on free HBO or Showtime. Cotto nor Margarito are even close to what they were for that 1st classic fight. I will not pay to watch two men that are shells of themselves fight. We all know Gamboa and Donaire will not be fighting top notch guys. So please explain to me the reasons why I should pay 40+ dollars on this fight card.
Cotto-Margarito 2 is gonna do at most around 600k-700k buys. I really expect nothing less than about 400k since the first fight did really well and there's so much emotion in this rematch.
The card is doable for sure.
I dont see how they are going to be able to pay so many guys on the same card. that being said i love it. I just dont think they will be big name opponents for either donaire or gamboa since the card has so many names.
I wish I still held out the same kind of hope you guys do. I've grown too jaded.
Donaire made 350k to fight Montiel.
Gamboa you can bet will make a similar number against De Leon.
Rodriguez and Wolak made 75k(I think) for their first fight, you can bet they'll want 100k for the rematch.
Include the opponents for Donaire and Gamboa....and that's about a million dollar undercard(being optimistic)....more than HBO pays for BAD's(most). Plus Cotto is getting 5-7 million guaranteed, Margarito probably 2-3.
Put it all together...and I guarantee this card looks NOTHING like what we're hoping it will at this point.
You guys are really throwing a wet blanket on this thread. But, hey...I can't disagree. Your posts make sense. One can only hope....

Depending on the HBO money, the card is payable
Cotto 4.5M + 80% PPVs
Margarito 2.2M + 20% PPVs
Donaire 300K
Donaire's Opponent 150K
Gamboa 250K
Gamboa's Opponent 100K
Wolak 150K
Rodriguez 120K
The Card is payable!!!!

Still has to get through Ponce de Leon, but it should be a task he can get through. Hopefully it's an exciting opponent for Gamboa on the Cotto/Margarito undercard.

Give me Gamboa vs Mikey and I'm there, every other fight would be icing.
When talking about Gamboa vs Ponce on espn, uncle bob said garcia needs a few more fights before fighting gamboa so don't count on it

I have a feeling you're going to be seeing that match-up before the end of 2012. As of now, great card in the works for December.
