Then ask him what the attendance was for pwill vs margarito, pwill vs cintron at ceasers, then ask him who had 90% of the people cheering for him at the MGM, then ask him who brought in a record ever to go into staples center! ever that includes lakers and any concert ever held there. They will stay say cotto not knowing that there's a reason why he only fights in new york the eve of the puerto rican day parade
    Again, Margarito himself didnt sell out the Staples center. It was a split crowd. You truly believe Margarito vs Corey Spinks would've sold out Staples Center? They knew having Mosley and Margarito both fight in LA would draw huge numbers being both guys have big fan bases in the LA area.

    It's all dependent on what places the fighters fight at. Obviously, Margarito had more of a following on the West Coast because of the Mexican / American population, as with Cotto when he fights at MSG with the PR population.

    But overall, Cotto has been the more popular of the 2 and has packed Madison Square Garden several times and has been in more higher profile fights than Margarito. Margarito's claim to fame is KO'ing Cotto (which ironically got him no where but being infamous now).

      Cotto has been headlining PPVS, margarito has been fighting on Free HBO.


      Cotto did to MSG against Juddah, What Margarito did for the staples vs Mosley.

      And Ofcourse theres a bigger Mexican fan base on the west COast. If that fight was happening in MSG, Margarito woyuld not had 1 fan chweering for him!!!!

      So STFU, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      The same could go for Cotto fighting in LA. You would hear crickets.

        Compare him with an active boxer though, like let's say Ricky Hatton?
        You're pretty much right on.

        But the difference is, to the general public, Cotto is a bigger name. That gives him the edge.

        You poll random people off the street around the country, and more people have heard of Cotto.

                    Split crowd?? You serious?? I take it celebrities take the other half??

                    Margarito vs Spinks would sell out too, it did with Paul Williams who can't draw flies to ****.

                      I don't know about crickets.

                      I think people underestimate Cotto's fanbase outside of Puerto Ricans. I have African American, Mexican, Chinese friends who are all fans of Cotto. I don't know how many non Mexicans were ride or dyin with Margarito prior to last July.
