YES!!!! IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!
lol
And i see decent numbers. 250,000 to 300,000 buys. Because people have been dying for a great matchup for a long time, and this is a fantastic one.
People who are hardcore fans, the ones that buy every good PPV card, will buy this one. so thats 200,000 right there. And then theres the rest so i think itll do alright. No less then 200,000Comment

Part of the interest has to do with the PR community in NY, and part of the reason is Zab Judah is so well known. I think there's a lot of unpredictability here. If Cotto decisively defeats Judah, than he will really establish himself as one of the world's best. They both have a lot to gain and a lot to lose. This matchup has FOTY potential for certain.Comment
