Little birdie told me that if NY doesn't license Margo then it is either El Paso or a venue in Mississippi.
Miguel Cotto should never agree to fight Margo in El Paso, TX. Could you imagine 10,000 Mexicans chanting for Margo. The judges are sured to be swayed.
Cotto should agree to the neutral site of Mississippi or no fight at all.
Lmao. You fellas have to understand.... they want this win bad. All of their fighters have fallen to Mexico's finest all year.
That's why they're so bitter. Margarito has balls. He knows he can't fight, but still doing it, and in N.Y. too, which is notorious for favoring Cotto. Clottey & Mosley got robbed and I'm sure Margarito will get robbed too if he doesn't knock Cotto out.
Cotto doesn't want this fight at all... unless its in N.Y. or close to home.
The fact that a guys career is over from the beating he took and all you can say is "Ricans want the win bad?" Seriously, I want to see the fight but we get to root for Cotto in other fights, Marg's career is over.
Why is Cotto calling shots? Margs should be calling the shots. last time i checked , it was Margs that won the fight.
Let's see Margarito's Career is in shambles and Cotto is the top 154 pound fighter in the world and a top 20 p4p fighter. So I would say Cotto gets to call all the shots, plus Cotto is the much bigger draw.
Margarito showed he didn't have his tail tucked between his legs when he agreed to MSG. He was pressured and had no other options or input and still agreed.
If Cotto doesn't agree that pretty much leads me to believe he doesn't want this fight as much as his fans think he does.
Get the hell out of here with that honorable Margarito BS. He sure seemed like he had his tail tucked between his legs when he tried to enter the ring with load gloves against Mosley.
Was about to post similar... Texas a no go all of a sudden because of support for Margarito when he was happy to fight in front of a hostile crowd in NY? wtf!
i don't get what seems to be problem, Mexicans like Segura and Salido go and fight in Puerto Rico against Rican boxers, on their own turf and take their belts. Why is Cotto so scared about fighting in Texas? :dunno:
-.- BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! So... you're saying Margarito has no choice but to agree and he did anyway? Wouldn't that mean he HAD to agree if he has no other options? If he had, he wouldn't have agreed to such terms especially $$$. He's getting a 70/30 and he won the first fight, they guy has no choice. Way to contradict yourself :tool:
I don't even understand what you're saying. :thinking:
Margarito agreed to all of Cotto's terms. It shows he wants the fight.
This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As far as Cotto saying no, just make the fight in Vegas if PR isn't an option. Bigger Gate and guaranteed sell out, as the last fight did something like 11k fans and had 500k buys. It also wasn't like Cotto was surrounded by Mexicans in Vegas it was about 70/30 Mexican, and against Mayorga it was all Cotto and that had an attendance of 7,000. From whats happened its safe to say Margarito is not going to be nearly as popular. Sure you have guys like Fantastic and a few others but every Mexican I know wants Cotto to win and can't stand Marg. Anyway at worst I would see it 50/50 and it's a lot better than Mississippi, Denver and El Paso.
I doubt it would happen but give people who bought tickets roughly the same seat at MGM or wherever with a free room for the night. Have to get your own plane ticket, but its at least something. If not just get the refund, like I said there's like a .01% chance that happens, but it would go a long way in helping Cotto out as much as possible and just take it out of Marg's share for being "a warrior" and his corner for being inept.
cotto should just give in and fight in texas...they could put the fight in san antonio,houston or dallas...theirs no nba season right now so the at&t center,toyota center and american airlines arena would be good for the fight..down side is that ricans would b1tch that they wont get a fair shake
Cotto can make millions fighting anybody else. Margarito will have trouble making more than 200,000 fighting any bum outside of Mexico.
The only fight he can probably get is in Mexico against Angulo for a million pesos.
Cotto is in a power position to demand for his conditions if not he can walk away and fight Martinez or somebody else while making good money.
Pacquiao is much bigger name then Cotto/Margarito at this point in Cotto/Margs career. Pacquiao is cash-cow, Marquez is not cash-cow.
I hope to god they make the Mayweather Pacquiao fight at this stage I am ready to see Manny put on ICE, I am ready to see a verbal press tour assault on Manny all the way leading up to the point where he is stopped....
Difference being that Margarito originally agreed to all conditions and MSG and NYC was one of those.
Cotto is being pressured into a last minute switch w/o options.
Margarito showed he didn't have his tail tucked between his legs when he agreed to MSG. He was pressured and had no other options or input and still agreed.
If Cotto doesn't agree that pretty much leads me to believe he doesn't want this fight as much as his fans think he does.
El Paso? WTF! That $hit hole! Darn, the New Cowboy Stadium (Paquiao vs Margarito) is sick and if that is not available how about San Antonio's Alamo Bowl! Sick venues!
Too short of notice for Cowboy stadium. Imagine 10, 000 people in that huge place. It would be embarrassing

ppl still actually think margarito could have won? u do realize he only has one functional eye rite? cotto should take the fight, its nearly impossible to fight with only one eye.
