Countdown to Cotto vs Margarito

Probably one of the best Countdowns I've seen. No bull**** smack lines or extra nonsense about helping kid's in hospitals. Just boxing mostly. What did you need, Money May throwing cash around or something?

 

I understand how you feel. It's just we have all been use to these FLoyd countdowns, which tend to be funny and annoying at the same time. I dont necessarily think the countdowns with Floyd hyped his fights up more. They were just more entertaining b/c watching Floyd be corny as hell was funny.

This countdown was more straight to the point with 2 fighters who (as you said) dont have those same types of personalities. I guess overall, I enjoyed it, but it didnt make me want to see the fight any more than I already do. I get more hyped up watching some of the fan made promos on youtube.

 

co-sign, or maybe he needed cotto to say "my bodies tearing down on me," and then talk about how his father dont love him..... but nah, serious note... i liked it one of my favorites actually, it was real....

 

are they gonna replay this i didnt get a chance to peep it

 

i'm not sure who, but someone posted the link on here yesterday to watch it online. also, you can go to cotto's website and see it on the forum over there.

 

i enjoyed it

 

Its on youtube in three different parts.

 

I thought the countdown spelled it out for anyone unfamiliar with the two fighters. It worked very well.

You don't need trash talking to sell REAL fights. Maybe if you are appealing to 15 year olds.

 

It was good, very insightful esp with regards to the rift between Cotto and his uncle-trainer, and the death of Margarito's bro.

 

I thought it was good because it seemed more "real" than the other countdowns. it was interesting too see how margarito turned pro at a young age, his brothers death, and how he hooked up with his wife. I also enjoyed how they showed a side of Cotto where he is more relaxed and has fun. I thought it was hilarious when they pulled his pants down and he was trying to choke out the big guy. i actually thought he hurt his leg when the big guy landed on him

 

You may not like it but that's exactly what sells fights. These two fighters are lacking in personality it's a great matchup for sure but to casual sports fan it lacks.

 

Wrong! I can't tell you how many casual sports fan said they watched the PBF-Hatton or PBF-Oscar 24/7 and said they tuned in because of the **** PBF was talking and the other crazy **** he was doing.

 

Casual sports fan. You said it. We talking about real boxing fans and people who at least have wear gloves at some points of their lifes here. Unfortunetly, We(the real boxing fans) Are not that many.:think
