    I knew this fight would happen just like how I know the Cotto/Mayweather fight will happen.. This should be a very exhilarating fight and I know for sure I'll be on the edge of my seat.. This is gonna' be one hell of a "battle".. I'm picking Cotto for late round TKO.. :bbb

    i think it would have been so much of a bigger fight if margarito hadnt of lost to williams. was not impressed at all with cotto's last opponent, it was a joke and considering the progress he had been making with zab and shugar shane, he then takes a huge step back in class that once again begs the question why should mayweather fight him? but alas this fight comes off and if he wins and wins impressively then he has to force the mayweather fight or one of a similar calibre

    Okay, this is from a Spanish site. Tickets don't go on sell until next Thursday...

    The Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto finally signed his contract today to defend his sceptre of 147 pounds of AMB, before the Mexican Antonio Margarito on July 26 in the majestic hotel MGM Grand in Las Vegas, in a transmission system pay for view HBO.

    "It's all signed with both peleadores and with MGM. Tickets will begin selling on Thursday, May 22, "he told El Nuevo Dia, Ricardo Jimenez, public relations company promoter Top Rank.

    Jimenez argued that the most expensive tickets for the mega event is $ 700 and $ 100 for the cheapest. There will also be $ 600, $ 500, $ 400, $ 300 and $ 200.

    Promotional tour

    Because after Cotto beats Margo in impressive fashion then picks up he IBF belt in the fall/winter, everyone will demand this fight. It will be anthother huge fight that brings a lot of attention to the sport. Both will be undefeated, top 10 p4p fighters. The winner would hold all 3 major belts and be the undisputed champ. Mayweather was a part of two huge fights in 2007. 2009 will be the return of boxing's box office champ.

    not much to gain? Are you serious? Beating Margo will show the world that Cotto, unlike Floyd is not afraid of a very tough fight. By Cotto winning he could cement his name as the man at 147, forcing Floyd out of hiding.
