    Because neither HBO or Showtime will buy it. Too much of a mismatch. Arum either puts it on Top Rank PPV or it doesn't get televised.

        The card is done and HBO and Showtime have said no to it. It'd be great for it to go on ESPN or Versus, but neither network carries the kind of money for its boxing to fund both Cotto and Pavlik on the same night. It is either PPV or no television. That is why pretty much all the promotion company PPVs exist. Same as Holyfield/Valuev Saturday, for example.

              Jennings can make a mean cup of tea, take that back.

                    I got my Margarito vs Mosley tickets!!! Can't wait, lets see what the undercard looks like, hopefully some viscous Victor Ortiz, or maybe even some Ponce De Leon comeback fight.
