Comments Thread For: Cotto, Canelo Both See Vegas As Truly Neutral Location

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Perhaps with a greater push - or a larger site fee - the highly anticipated showdown between Miguel Cotto and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez could have very well landed in New York. No fighter has sold more tickets in New York City - particularly Madison Square Garden than has Cotto in the 21st Century, having claimed the city that never sleeps as his home away from home since 2005.

The fight ultimately landed at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, where HBO will air live through its Pay-Per-View arm. It was a minor hurdle at one point during the second round of negotiations, but not enough to force all parties to pack it in, at least not after the fight had already fallen apart earlier in the year.

Vegas is not neutral it's canelo advantage the only thing neutral is the purse because vegas is the best place to make a lot of money

Definetly more neutral than Texas and New York.

[Divine Hammer]

i agree. it's very neutral. texas, new york, california, mexico, puerto rico, aren't neutral places.

No it's gonna be in favour of mexican

It would kill you to put the date of the fight for fans who do not know. Boxing writers so overrated leave out common sense things all the time

This is a canelo town. The odds are stacked against cotto. Canelo is the hbo fighter and they are backing him asthe future. Is in hbo interest that canelo wins. Cotto must ko him.

Yea pretty much this. Canelo fans will roar that night. Cotto has to dominate or stop Canelo.
