    Is anyone even hyped about a Cotto/Foreman fight?

    I'm not, and i'm a huge Cotto fan. There's just nothing that excites me about this fight. Never mind putting it on ppv. It will fail miserably. The casual fan has never even heard of Yuri Foreman, nor does this fight have any business being held at Yankee Stadium. That venue should be for Major fights only. I hope this fight gets scrapped. I know Cotto deserves a tune up/confidence building fight, but at least put him in with someone noteworthy.

    I want to see this fight to see how much Cotto has left and if Foreman is the real deal.
    I wouldn't be surprised if Foreman wins big.

      i sure as hell am!!!! i'd actually get super excited once it gets signed and becomes official!!! i'd be one hell of a fight for cotto because if he wins he'll become a champ once again and i'm really intrigued to see if he performs better at 154 since he was having problems lately making 147 and below (his walk around weight is around 158-160).

      an entertaining, interesting and intriguing fight!!! honestly can't wait!!!

        I am!

        As of late, every Cotto fight has had him digging deep, with blood and guts combat, win or lose, the fight was worth it.

        I think he is moving up right?

        No matter Foreman's style, I don't see why this fight won't be filled with just as much drama.

          I agree with this statement.

            Do u guys honestly feel that this fight is worthy of having Yankee Stadium as its venue? Yuri is pretty much an unknown to casual fans.

              Flying out from Michigan to NYC for the fight. I am very excited for this fight, it may be the last time I see my favorite fighter live. BTW, why do people keep saying this is PPV? I haven't seen anything to say that it's going to be on PPV.

                I think its great to have at Yankee Stadium ,Cotto is super huge in NY and it should sell well. I really like them having more fight outside of Vegas. I also want to see if Yuri style can be enough to beat Cotto, cause he won't get the Ko.

                  it is for cotto!! i mean, you know how popular he is new york and with the puerto rican parade around the corner i expect that place to be packed!!

                  i think it's a fight designed to give cotto a very good memory before he retires since he said he'll retire on november of this year. not only will he have the chance of fighting for a title but he'll also be fighting at a more comfortable weight ANDDD at yankee stadium which you can bet will be packed with boricuas all over the place! definitely a sign of gratitude and a tribute for cotto before he retires from the sport he gave so much to!

                  i love cotto man!! a real warrior!!

                    I think Arum found a formula that worked for Pacquiao/Clottey and he is going to put it to the test again.

                    big fighter + bigger venue = help sell an average fight.

                    Don't know if it's PPV, but if it is, I'm not buying.
