Comments Thread For: Cotto-Canelo: MSG, MGM Grand Make Aggressive Plays

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The MGM Grand in Las Vegas and the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City are aggressively pursing the hosting rights to the highly anticipated fight between WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez of Mexico. Both venues have submitted solid economic proposals to secure the fight, which is being targeted for a date in November on HBO Pay-Per-View.

As much as I would want it to happen in nyc as I would attend , it won't happen. Taxes here are too high and would significantly cut into each fighters purse. Secondly, the fight would generate much more money in Vegas and msg won't be able to outbid the mgm to host the fight.

Fight should be in VEGAS or Chicago! Not in N.Y. or Texas.

It's evident that Kneeguel Chocha is terrified of The Taino God Canelo, that's why he wants the fight in N.Y. He wants to pull another Clottey, Margarito 2, and Mosely -- Robbery.

He ain't shyt without his judges & doctors. **** Kneeguel, the biggest fraud and puzzy in boxing history.

Texas favors canelo, and new York is cottos backyard. Vegas is nuetral ground,so that's where the fight should be.

A fight this big needs to be in vegas. That is the boxing capital of the world. Also brings all the high rollers and celebs. They will use MSG to drive up the price but no chance this fight goes to NY.

You will only get Mexican Celebs, Rican Celebs, Ray Lewis, and Jay-Z. Apparently Ray Lewis is a big Canelo Fan

Chicago is too cold around that time , and Vegas doesn't have an arena with more then 20,000 seats , This MEGA fight should be in a MEGA arena

Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida 78,363 seats
AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas 80, 500 seats
Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California 80,000 seats

Cotto the diva is an idiot

Those stadiums and their $25-100 tix won't ever do better than MSG's $300-750 seats, for regular fights. With this fight, it'd be higher.

This fight needs to be at MSG so I can see Cotto live

Texas, with their history should be ruled out for all fights

Cali and Florida though would actually be fun sites
