Should Cotto/Margarito be held in NY or Vegas?

[Me La Pelan]

I saw that **** @ The Orleans.
There was a pretty nice crowd but it was mostly Cotto supporters.

Margarito vs escopeta Gomez was at the OLD Alladin , now called the Planet Hollywood. I've never been to the orleans to watch fights. Cotto did not fight that day.

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.

yeah but who was he fighting again?? Gomez.. come on... look at Marquez, when he fought Juarez, not that many people went to see it, when he fought Pacquiao, the fight made history in PPV sales.. the opponent matters too..

watch on fight night how many Mexicans will be supporting Margarito..

No I haven't and that's the thing, i'm mexican and none of my family members or friends live on the east coast and I have a big family. I'll take your word for it though since I've never been to New York.

Yeah Mexicans are the fastest growing and the third largest Latino group in New York last I heard.
I think there was like an estimated 200,000 Mexicans in New York for the 2000 census.. **** knows how many there are now.

Oh my bad I read wrong I thought you were talking about Margarito v. Cintron II.

Yeah I hope its Vegas we don't want to see another Fraud or Referee towards the Puerto Rican crowd no offense to Puerto Ricans, But I think the crowd will try to win the fight for Cotto each time he throws a punch and its blocked I can already see that **** happening , I really hope there is no One sided Fight and the Ref protecting Cotto for reals all the time or if he gets in trouble to pull some ****** **** like Cintron when he was getting hit in the head he made the ref stop it for a bit. , I felt the Ref was leaning more towards Cintron and the Rican Crowd, I hate that **** , Mexicans always get screwed over, It should be in Vegas Neutral territory and dont give me the It's Marg's backyard cuz Marg is not even that famous as he can be yet,
I really hope this doesn't happen kinda reminds me of when Mexico comes and plays on U.S soil in soccer and gets phuked over and over by bad Referees, Again no Offense to Puerto Ricans I respect Miguel as a Champ and has done lots for boxing and the sport, and is one of my favorites. I saw that **** too with Soto and Guzman the crowd had a lot to do with the influence but I dont know those are my thoughts and my opinion .

I agree except when I paid like 200 dollars and was damn near 6 rows from the ring, and it wasn't like they didn't have an undercard! The fights were good! and even then they didn't sell out. I'm with you on the support but that doesn't always sell tickets

Saw Miguel Cotto live at the Garden in 2005, and last October against Shane Mosely. These isn't an empty seat in the whole Garden!!!!!, They even gotta open up the rafters where all the retired Jersey from KNICKS and RANGERS are hanging! You gotta wait like an hour just to get a beer!!

PS; Margarito fought the same night too! Agianst Golden Johnson. Alot of dude were rooting for Margarito.
