Should Cotto/Margarito be held in NY or Vegas?

It Should Be Held In Where Wrestlemania Was Held. Outside With 70 Thousand Fans With Firwework Shows. Wrestlemania Was Perfect And Should Do That For Boxing. Or At Least Floyd Vs Cotto.Comment

what I am saying is that there is just as much mexicans in the east as there is puerto ricans in the west.
before there wasn't much mexicans in new york but now there is a lot..
have you ever been to new york?Comment

cool so cal here as wellTrue, but I'm sure the Puerto Ricans will show up. I'm from so.cal. and everytime I'm driving down the road I see a car with the puerto rican flag hanging on the rearview mirror, all the time. There's more puerto ricans on the west coast than there is mexicans on the east coast.Comment

You would be surprised ... Margarito's following isn't THAT great....I went to see Margarito vs Gomez and the lil theater in the Planet Hollywood (old alladin) wasn't even filled..I would say Chavez jr had more fans there than Margarito. Viloria also0 fought as did Calderon and I'd have to say Jr. had the most fans...I could tell by the Masses of people waiting to get in line to take a pic with him. Since that theater is made where Everyone has to come out the front and Margarito was the last fight the crowd waiting for him was about 30 to 40 people. That is why IMO Margarito is too much risk for the profit and why fighters were ducking him, Because of his not so great following.agreed with most of what you say just saying that Vegas wont be as neutral as we think because I know a lot of people will make the trip from LA which is basically Tony's base for all his camps and a regular fixture in the city. His popularity in LA is probably bigger than his popularity in MexicoComment
