Margarito/Cotto II: who gets pay more??

[Contenders]

very highly doubt it. They wont even put shane vs margarito in los angeles why would they put cotto and margarito on the east coast. Vegas owns boxing! Too much money on that pretty little strip.

Cotto seems to do huge numbers on the East Coast with the big Puerto Rican community over there. Every time he fights at Madison Square Garden he seems to draw big crowds. Especially on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade. Here's the article:

Margarito-Mosley in 2009!
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Looks like a great battle between WBA welterweight champion Antonio Margarito and challenger Shane Mosley is back in the cards for January 24th in Las Vegas. Margarito is training at present in Tijuana and is expected to be traveling soon to Los Angeles for more intensive training. Initially, Margarito didn't accept the original proposal of the division 50/50 of the $4 million offered, but HBO apparently raised the pot enough to entice "The Tijuana Tornado." After Mosley, Margarito is expected to give a rematch to Miguel Cotto in June at New York City.

No, but should I believe everything you say??? It's not the only article that says this fight's gonna be on the East Coast. It's been mentioned almost every time the rematch has been talked about come to think of it.

Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather the fight be in Vegas again, but it's not looking that way.

So they're just going to avoid vegas money and go to the east coast why? Shane is from la margarito trains in la this would have a nice turn out in los angeles and still they send it to the mandalay bay. Don't you think shane vs mosley is a better fit in los angeles? But lets see a venue in la cough up money like the mandalay bay.

It'd be common sense to have Margarito-Mosley in LA. That fight would be HUGE in that market. But it's a no-brainer también to have two west-coast fighters do their thing in Vegas where all that money is.

This is different 'cause Cotto IS an East Coast fighter (I know he's from Puerto Rico, but you know) and is a proven big-ticket seller that way. I agree with you that the fight would be bigger having it in Vegas again. But I've seen promoters take fights to places that just didn't make no sense before...so for this fight to end up back east isn't out of the question.

I wouldn't mind the fight being in New York, I've never been there and have always wanted to go there. I was all to close to booking reservations to go to atlantic city when it was looking like it was going to be there instead of vegas. If it's in new york that gives cotto a chance to fight in front of his people which i say is far, but i just dont see arum walking away from vegas. But like i said i would LOVE to go to new york!!! Pictures of new york city make me

You go to the first fight? I couldn't make it, but I'd definitely try to make it to the rematch if it landed in Vegas again. NYC would probably be outta my reach this year. But we got some real cheap flights to Vegas from here. Es más, now that I know the fights done, I might try to make it out for the Mosley-Margarito fight!

New York City would be crazy though too!

I don't mind that the rematch happens in NY, gives me an excuse to go there .
