Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto: Final Fight In Puerto Rico Not Likely

[Hougigo]

He really owes it to NY where's he made legacy and beloved recognition not to mention tons of money. I'm hoping he'll do it there to pay my respects in attendance.

Most likely will, he pulls big crowds in MSG

I'm hoping. MSG was electric on the Marg ll fight a good win on Saturday sets it up for a major sell out.

I don't know the trout numbers, but they used the arena, not the theater for that.... dude still commands big respect up there.

nope.... all fights are free. It was really shitty to make your core fanbase pay for a fight everyone else watches free.

Definatly a scumbag move. Thought it was like that for some fights involving Mexicans too. Guess I was wrong.

Last fight should be at MSG New York. Thats where he became the men and there is where it should end.

Cotto-Trout sold 14k.

the electricity in the cotto margs fights was nothing compared to the electricity of cotto judah. that was the best atmosphere of my life

He charged PR for a fight and is burning up the prospects by moving them to fast and not developing them. Don't know how much he has over there

God, that Cotto charging PPV for his fights is so ****** it's beyond measure

First, he headlined that card and put all his fighters on it. It's one of the only ways to recoup that investment.

Second, Cotto contributes mightily to the local economies with all the investments he has there.

Third, why would any self-respecting fan of Cotto be mad at a PPV in his home town when they've been stuck with terrible PPV cards featuring the likes of JuanMa...talk about being ass-****d. If they're mad at the one superstar we have left, but not mad at the killing Top Rank and other promo companies have made putting below average fighters on PPV, they should just walk in traffic.

Apparently all of this doesn't matter because one of his fights was on PPV while it was free in the US. That Trout wasn't bringing the revenue like his other NYC, Trout had zero name recognition.

Cotto always fights for the PR flag PROUDLY. He fights your for Puerto Rico. I don't see how he can be hated for a decision that I'm 100% positive wasn't entirely his to make. Golden Boy was co-promoter, they wanted to make a profit.

Is the Rodriguez fight on PPV in PV? Were any of his TR fights on PPV in PR while they were on free HBO and Showtime here in the states? None of them were. That's not just coincidence.

Appreciate one of the last times you'll see one of the greatest fighters of this era in the ring.
