    Quoted from ESPN Boxing.com:

    • "Two of Top Rank's biggest stars, middleweight champ Kelly Pavlik and former welterweight titlist Miguel Cotto, are planning their next fights after coming off losses. Top Rank's Bob Arum told ESPN.com he's planning their returns for Feb. 21 in an unusual split-site pay-per-view card. It would feature Cotto, in his first fight since being stopped by Antonio Margarito in July, at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall with the three leading candidates to face him being England's Michael Jennings for the welterweight belt Paul Williams vacated last week, ex-titlist Kermit Cintron or fringe contender Jesus Soto Karass. Following Cotto's match, the action would shift to the Chevy Center in Youngstown, Ohio, where Pavlik, coming off a nontitle light heavyweight loss to Bernard Hopkins in October, would make a hometown mandatory defense against Marco Antonio Rubio. Arum said HBO and Showtime passed on the doubleheader, which is why he's planning a PPV. "They have the right to turn down any fight they want and I have the right to do any fight I want," Arum said. A Cotto victory would likely propel him into a summer rematch with Margarito."

    Now thats a PPV fight worth buying!

    "This PPV is a terrible match up, I'm not buying that"

    "Hmm, how about if I throw in another terrible match up, two for the price of one, eh?"

    "Sold!"

    Both Cotto and Pavlik on the same card in comeback fights. Makes sense. I'm buying.

    If otto fight Cintron then is PPV worthy, plus Kelly Pavlik yes for me if people bought Floyd vs Baldomir, why not this at least Cintron vs Cotto would be great.

    2 likely KO's....

    And nothing is a given with cotto...Although he's very talented, he's had some tough fights with arguably B-Class fighters.
