Margarito is clearly the draw in the NY. Everyone came to see him.

I think Pac and Cotto are the top 2 cash cow in boxing, Pac did 9mil in vegas and Cotto did 3mil in ny..

Top two?
Did you forget about a guy named Money May?
I wonder where that guy ranks on your list.

No knock to Cotto, but I think Pawel and Delvin may have something to do with it too!

Freakin Mike Lee brought in more tickets.

NEW YORK -- Three-division world champion and the Pride of Puerto Rico MIGUEL COTTO and professional rival and three-time welterweight world champion ANTONIO “The Tijuana Tornado” MARGARITO sold the last ticket available at Madison Square Garden this morning for their long-awaited world championship rematch. The 17,943rd and final ticket was sold at 10:42 a.m. ET, producing a box office gate in excess of $3 million. For Cotto, who has sold more tickets to The Mecca of Boxing in this millennium than any other fighter, this is his second complete sellout of The Garden. The first was his welterweight title defense against former world champion Zab Judah on June 9, 2007.

It is a Crying Shame that Mr. Cotto did not get a fight with Mr. Jr Mayweather back in the day.

I remember well the Miserable MAJOR DUCK Jr. made when talking to the grand ole master of etymology, MR. LARRY MERCHANT.

Jr. crawfished, and QUACKED all the way out of the interview.

WE WERE ROBBED NOT TO SEE THIS FIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!

NOW JR wants to claim all the glory, hahahah

Both Cotto and Margo would have walked his @$$ down and stuffed it !!!

GOOD FOR COTTO TO GET THIS PRESTIGE !!

Margo will win in the end.

Felicidadez Champs...! Soo much @ stake on this fight! Margaritos credibility if he looses! Cottos Revenge if he was to win! I remember the day cotto said "Margarito is a cheater & he is Not makein a cent out of me"...! Lol all for $!
Good luck to both! PURO TIJUANA MEXICO MIS CABRONES!
