**Rematch:Dec 3rd, NYC, Cotto Vs Margarito Countdown....Poll Added**

No worries. It was just a little sidebar.

 

its gona be interesting to say the least!

I hope though if it does happen, its doesnt become clear that both guys are shadows of themselves and serve up something lacklustre

 

Feel sorry for anyone who had pre-booked flights/hotels etc, to go and have this potential bombshell dropped on them.

 

Hey, you’ll get the ticket price back and NYC is always fun.

 

The voting is about to be told! Going to find out if they'll allow it in NYC or not.

Commission instructed Margarito lawyer to contact him and see if he will submit to an exam. Commission gave him 1 hr to contact Margs.

They want Marg to come to NY to be examined. Meeting will be in recess until they know if Margs will come to NY for the exam. Unreal.

 

What a farce.

 

What a monumental balls up this has been.... so far.

 

Apparently the next hearing would be a week from now, so if it's denied, they would have a week left to find a venue and fill it.

That's ****ing amateurish from Top Rank and disgusting from the Commission.

 

I'd be so disappointed if this fight was to be called off. For all that I dislike Margarito, I can't help but respect his heart and determination and I don't think anyone can have a negative word to say about Cotto, he is exactly what a boxer should be.

Their first fight is what without doubt turned me into a hardcore boxing fan and after watching that faceoff, I'm sure a 2nd would be as exciting. I'm backing Cotto all the way but I just have a feeling that Margarito has a style which matches up well with Miguel's. Cotto couldn't have fought much better in the first half of the fight IMO yet he was still pegged back.

I'm praying Margarito's allowed to fight and that Miguel gets his revancha.

 

i wonder if, naw that's pushing it..
imagine if arum knew about this and wanted to sell out msg with it's intended headline..now if it fails, arum will find a replacement for cotto and still have a packed house.
Why would you go ahead and book the venue and set up all this promotion to begin with? Maybe to entice the board that huge money will be at steak etc.

 

That was actually mentioned as a theory (might have been in boxing news)

They mentioned Cotto vs Wolak or Martirosyan

 

The problem with that is the HBO PPV! I can't see HBO being happy with Vanes or Pawel as the opponent.
