    According to Big Dan, the Cotto-Lee fight, if it does happen, probably ends up on ppv and not regular HBO.

    Seems Arum doesn't want it on ppv since the Cotto-Martinez numbers were a disappointment.

    Cotto does want the fight on ppv though and HBO might not be able to afford the license fee anyways.

    If Cotto-Lee was on HBO I was mildly ok with the fight. Far from thrilled but atleast it wasn't ppv.

    A Cotto-Lee fight on ppv is pretty pathetic and even a strong undercard would have a hard time making it justifiable-and I wouldn't count on a strong undercard anyways.

    Maybe Cotto doesn't make it to the Canelo fight before being knocked off by someone like Lee,?????

    I know we like to bash the promoters a lot, but this is the case of a fighters' greed really sticking it to the fans. No way this fight belongs on PPV.
