    So Golden Boy will be going heads up with Top Rank PPV?

    The Mares-Agbeko II working date is December 3 on Showtime. Which goes against the Cotto-Margarito II fight on PPV.

    The Cotto-Margarito event has been a fight that I personally have been looking forward to. But, not only will Mares-Agbeko be on free TV. But, Anselmo Moreno has been talked in being in the co-feature against Vic Darchinyan.

    Don't know what to do?

    , why couldn't GBP put the event on Dec 17 or so

    The Golden boy/Top Rank beef may be about to cook up again.

      Golden Boy knows the Mayweather/Ortiz debacle will cost them dearly.

        I don't know, will it? I was not happy with how it ended, but I still bought the thing. I doubt people are going to quit buying their ppvs and it's a crappy business decision to make enemies with Top Rank again it seems like. I mean, they won't get additional views for their Agbeko/Mares rematch when Top Rank puts on a card hardcore fans want to see.

          Hopefully, TR will put on a good card for once. Rico Ramos vs Rigondeaux is a good undercard fight but they'll need a better co-feature to make this thing a good card overall.

          Unfortunately, TR loves to nickel and dime boxing fans by spreading their shows as thin as possible.

            Goldenboy isn't really doing their fighter's any favors by pitting them against a big marquee fight like Cotto-Marg II.

            Cotto-Marg II will hog nearly all the spotlight just by the very nature of the fight.

            Bad move for Golden Boy if their intention is to promote their fighters.

              Hmmmm

              Looks like GBP's gonna test the waters and see if the circus that was May-Ortiz affected their PPV pulling power and their cred as well. And a dumb move pitting Mares-Agbeko with TR's Marg-Cotto.

                Looks to me that Showtime is the one flexing nuts here to send a message to Top Rank for not only giving Pac/Marquez to HBO but also Cotto/Marg.

                  If that happens, it's Marez Agbeko all day. They really have a history together & the fight isn't years too late, both are still high level fighters & it's on showtime minus the ppv prcetag. How much is Cotto-Margarito going to cost anyway. PPV's are about to skyrocket.

                    It seems that way, now I'm in a bind and I don't know which one to pick.

                    The Moreno addition makes this very difficult for me.
