What was the cheaper ticket prices though and don't forget that was Miguels ultimate peak. For the most part a high profile fight in Vegas is going to be more than a fight in NYC and that is one of the reasons that the MGM was not sold out. Another thing we have to remember and I know it will piss Mexicans off but Margarito was nothing at the time, at least compared to Cotto. Cotto has had no problem filling the house because he has never really had a down period in his career. Margarito on the other hand, going into the Cotto fight had a small following and hadn't really beat anyone of substance going into that fight. That fight probably should of landed in NYC but they wouldn't of been able to charge 150 dollars for nosebleeders. I think if Arum had to do it all over again, same situation, the fight would of landed at MSG or Yankee Stadium.
This all still doesn't change the fact that Cotto/Marg was a crazy atmosphere. That fight was for the very hardcore fight fan and the crowd was feeling it all night long.
