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).
