Cotto and Pavlik on PPV

[-Antonio-]

Arum is putting them on PPV because HBO turned the doubleheader down. Would you buy it? I would only because I'm a fan of both. Hopefully he can put Juanma on the card too.

I heard this was a possibility, but where did you hear it become official?

Not official. Seems at least close. I cant believe Showtime turned this down!

Two of Top Rank's biggest stars, middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik and former welterweight titlist Miguel Cotto, are planning their next fights after coming off losses. Top Rank's Bob Arum told ESPN.com he's planning their returns for Feb. 21 in an unusual split-site pay-per-view card. It would feature Cotto, in his first fight since being stopped by Antonio Margarito in July, at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall with the three leading candidates to face him being England's Michael Jennings for the welterweight belt Paul Williams vacated last week, ex-titlist Kermit Cintron or fringe contender Jesus Soto Karass. Following Cotto's match, the action would shift to the Chevy Center in Youngstown, Ohio, where Pavlik, coming off a nontitle light heavyweight loss to Bernard Hopkins in October, would make a hometown mandatory defense against Marco Antonio Rubio. Arum said HBO and Showtime passed on the doubleheader, which is why he's planning a PPV. "They have the right to turn down any fight they want and I have the right to do any fight I want," Arum said. A Cotto victory would likely propel him into a summer rematch with Margarito.

Juanma is fighting dec 6. Feb would be to soon for another fight, unless he Kos Medina in the 1rst round, wich I dont think will happend. And besides they are trying to get , penalosa or Gonzalez for march and vazquez for June. Of course if he wins hes fights

Cotto/Jennings ppv? Hell to the mofo NO! If Arum went ahead with that, i hope it fails miserably. Im one of Cotto's biggest fans at that, but cmon!

Arum would have to really beef up the udnercard.

PPV?

I guess I'm reading the results on here.

If it's like 29.99 like some Top Rank PPV's i'll get it. If he tries charging 49.99 than **** that.

Yeah it's wishful thinking on my part more than anything.
