    Does Cotto-Margarito II Sell Out Yankee Stadium?

    So does the intriguing rematch sell over 50k tickets and fill Yankee Stadiums capacity?

    What PPV numbers would this fight do?..would it deserve a 24/7?..

      I was thinking the same..

      30k-40k only because NyC is in the opposite coast where Mexicans reside..
      The drama with the plaster alone along with how the first fight played out sounds like a dramatic 24/7
      and I agree with the 800k PPV sales

        I think Madison Square garden is better to fill the 20k people. Having a history behind the two, a 24/7 is pretty much mandatory. As for ppv buys I doubt it would reach 1m buys, but it can be close if the 24/7 is good.

            I actually believe it would sell more at Dallas Stadium..than Yankee Stadium

            but I'm sure Cotto wants the rematch on the East Coast since their first fight was a West Coast setting..

            I can't wait..I'm gonna definitely be there

              Cotto-Judah sold out MSG..even though Judah is a Brooklyn NY native I still believe the hype and drama revolving this fight would sell more than 2 hometown fighters..

              Cotto-Margarito II easily does 30k...40k would be great..more than that would be AMAZING for the environment and the state of Boxing..meaning not only Pacquiao but also Cotto and Margarito can be huge draws to live gates

                Would be a sick environment at Yankee Stadium, I think it could sell 35k tickets.

                I think it could do 800k-ish in PPV buys.

                And it would be an absolute epic 24/7.

                  I don't think it could sell out Yankee Stadium but it certainly would do well. If Foreman/Cotto can do 25,000 or so, Margarito/Cotto can do close to 40,000. I think it's worth bringing to Yankee Stadium over MSG, which wasn't the case when Cotto fought Foreman. That fight should of been at MSG.
