    What do you guys think?

    MSG has had to open every single seat in the building to host Cotto fights. So i'm sure there have been many people left out b/c there wasnt any room left. I know I was one of them.

    I'm not a baseball fan, so I dont know how many seats yankee stadium has, so what do you guys think?

    fan base wise yes it can, but come to think of it if you stay in the farthest seat you could hardly recoginize what is happening in the ring so you might consider just watching the PPV..

    No way, but Cotto Hatton would have a slight chance.

    If Cotto keeps winning and Floyd KO's ODH then yes.

    yea they could. cottos fans, mayweathers fans. the fact that if they did it this year, yankee stadium is being closed down so they would market it as the last great fight at yankee stadium. it can be done.

    It would definitely sell out 18000 seats @ thomas and mack center. 57k @ yankee stadium? Not a chance

    Cotto vs Hatton...YES IT EASILY would have sold Yankee stadium out.

    Cotto vs Floyd...Nope American's aren't passionate enough about their lb 4 lb champ. And I'm not dissing American's but its the truth, There are just lots of American champions so the fan loyalty and support gets spread thin.
