I have tickets to the Cotto-Margarito fight. Nearly 20k people already bought tickets. I read that a few people were even flying in from Europe to attend.
Even for those that didn't buy tickets, let Top Rank know how badly they just made the sport look.
Bombard their website and leave a comment (idea taken from a fellow user):

I will no longer support Top Rank with my $$$, and my two favorite active fighters are Cotto and Pac. No more PPVs or attending their shows.
:davil2::davil2::davil2::
watching on a stream anyway. unlucky for those who brought tickets
can't watch this on a stream.
gonna be a good fight.
go to a bar.
or sucker one of your friends into buying it.
dude, this isn't top ranks fault. They were told that it was very likely that he would get licensed. Blame the NYSAC for being a lil b*tch
Damn how much of a nuthugger can you be? Just because TR is promoting Pacquiao that means they can do no wrong? Can you separate the fighter from his promoter? Doesn't matter what the NYSAC told Arum, the fact is Arum sold tickets before knowing for sure that his fighter would be licensed. That's f*cked up.
it is top ranks fault. you don't put the carriage before the horse. this is very bad business.
Exactly.
i think that's even worse tbh.
people want marg-cotto 2.
give it to them.
even if they have to change locations.
those who can't go to the new location can get their refund and at least still watch the fight they want to see on tv.
people are so hyped for this rematch with all the bad blood.
to put in a new opponent for cotto is even worse.
OO for sure that is worst. Now its possible the people at home will watch a crap fight.
I doubt they will move the venue. Its too late, they will probably just switch Margarito out for someone else.

i never had a problem with cotto.
exciting fighter always entertaining.
cotto fans got on my nerves though leading up to the 1st marg fight though.
i picked marg and they would go all crazy thinking i'm stupid for picking marg to win. cotto is too good , too skilled , marg is slow , marg has no skills , blah blah blah
then the handwraps thing and pac is on peds thing just made it worse.
Understood, they embarrass me the majority of the time. There are some good ones though.
Arum said yesterday that Vanes was supposed to step in but that they decided not to do that and instead the whole show would be moved.
I'd much rather that be the case because if they just substitute someone in for Margo in NY, they might not refund tickets.
Yea, I mean PPV isn't a bad option. I'm not THAT pissed about not going, I just want my money back in an easy and efficient manner. And I'm just kind of pissed at how it was handled.
I always forget you're a Margs fan. Or are you one of thos that like Cotto but hate his fans so you root against him?

Email the NY commission also for their disregard of the fans.
Why was chairperson Melvina Lathan present at the September press conference? Why did she assure the media that there were no issues? Why not make an announcement that Margarito might not be cleared two months ago when the fight was announced?

tbh.....
i know it's selfish.....but i was just gonna watch it in ppv anyway.
i know you guys who were planning to go have a gripe.....

as long as marg whoops that ass.....i couldn't care less where it's at.

In Denver or Mississippi? That'll do a great gate. I can't see Cotto going to Texas.

I'm driving down from Toronto. Moving it there makes it nearly impossible and it would substantially cost me more to travel there.
It's both the NY commissions and Top Rank's fault. But ESPECIALLY Top Rank, wtf are they promoting a major fight knowing full well that there is a strong chance it gets moved at the last minute. **** them.
i bought my tickets on ebay, i havent read the refund thing on the back of the papers yet but ill just assume that im out of my 140$
i paid $200 for mine off ebay. this is bull****.
It makes no sense! Why would the commision be at the press confrence than back out! Something shady must be going with TopRank and the NY Commision wants no part of it!
