    Why is it that Margie's fight with Mosley is on HBO regular and
    Cotto vs Jennings is on HBO PPV?

    Could it be that Margie just does not have the drawing power?

    Why is he so picky in who he fights then, as if he has the command

    of the BIG TIME $.

    Face it Margie....you just are not there yet and probably never will be.

    Cotto v Jennings is on TopRank PPV ... so if it tanks then TopRank is taking the hit ...

    Cotto is more marketable than Margarito and has a huge fan base on the east coast and in PR --

    Because the PPV is a doubleheader with Pavlik as well which Arum thinks will be enough to draw in decent numbers despite the poor level of competition both are facing.

    agreed 100% ... Arum seems like he's trying to kill the sport --
