    Man the Bob-Father really knows how to play his cards right with this fight. Say what you want to say about him but the guy can really put a good show, the UC was weak as **** but the main event is what everyone was waiting for anyway. This was a win-win situation for him, Cotto lost but now he will hype him up to say he's coming back better than ever, and get him another big fight or rematch next year. Tony has now earn the respect he deserves and a larger following.

    While In the meantime Arum is counting all of his new money.

      Bob actually took on gamble on this fight. If Margarito would've lost, it would've pretty much been the end of him. Yeah, he would've continued to fight, but his chance of headlining another ppv would've been grim.

          Arum also said Cotto vs Mosley did 500,000 buys and the real number was around 360,000.

                Arum is taking a guess with the statement about mexicans being the majority of the PPV buyers for the fight. The only way I can think of him coming up with that **** is by looking at the zip codes for people who ordered the fight. Zip codes can be used as a tool to somewhat figure out the ethnic majority in a certain area.

                  Bob Arum is playing this PR MX thing like a fiddle. What is sad is that he has both of these countries best in his stable which gives him immense power. I can understand now why so many dislike him
