Yeah, looks like higher gates Vegas can guarantee as opposed to stadium fights is making Arum reconsider staging fights outside of Vegas. But they can definitely charge higher prices for premium seats in Meadowlands or Yankees (keep the $50 ones) if they have a lineup of Coto, Margarito, Cintron, Barrera. Cotto just had his worst gate/attendance in years because he was away from his base which is the East Coast.
I know the Nevada commission wouldn't be ****** enough to turn down 2 huge Margarito fights in a row, but I hope they deny him his license. Won't happen though since it sounds like the Bobfather is already greasing the wheels.
Oh well, guess I have to buy the card or catch it at a bar.Comment

Now Barrera may be given another fight, how many years past his prime, how many wars and beatings has he had? The health/brain scare he had, is worth one more big payday????? Guys like Evander Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr, Erik Morales, Felix Trinidad, and now Barrera... You're going to let these guys killed!!! These promoters keep pimping off these guys names, their legacy, their fights from yester-year, their fan support, for one more BIG paycheck! Is it worth it? Look at Muhammad Ali, Tommy Hearns, even Holyfield now. They can barely talk. Keep putting these names beforementioned in the ring, and they'll all end up in the same sad place. We have plenty of great young, healthy talent in their primes to pay to see. We don't need to put these past their prime big names back in the ring, at the risk of their health or even life.
Oh damn, just remembered... he's fighting Rios isn't he?Comment

Vegas is a much better option. There are 140 million Mexicans and only 8 million Puerto Ricans. Boxing is a bu$iness.Comment

cotto's a fool for taking this fight....
margarito's gonna break him down exactly like their first meeting.... yes... even without the plaster wraps....
this cotto is a poor imitation of that cotto, and margarito ruined that cotto and left him a shell - so he'll be more than capable of taking him apart without having to cheat....
cotto's not strong enough to hold margarito off, and the pressure will tell.... it may well be cotto's last ever fight.
Cotto was boxing Margarito's face off for 6 1/2 rounds prior to one plaster-filled shot busting Cotto's nose. One punch power is never something Margarito has had, as has been evidenced since having the bricks removed. After that, Cotto couldn't breath. That's why he ran out of gas. No oxygen to replenish lost energy equals insta-fatigue.
And as far as being the same guy he was before: If Cotto isn't the same, what do you call Margarito after getting blasted by Mosley and shredded by Pacquiao? His face was like deli meat after Pac.
Cotto won't be drained, Margarito won't have an unfair weapon, and it will be a war. A war that Cotto should win with Steward in his corner.Comment

Okay, so you didn't watch the fight I take it.

It's actually embarrassing for Margarito that with plaster wraps, all he could do was tire Cotto out after 9 rounds of fighting with a busted nose and breathing through his mouth.
Rematch will expose Margarito once and for all. A cheater who made millions endorsing Plaster Of Paris.Comment
