    Sadly, you couldn't see both live:

    Top Rank and HBO are in discussions for split-site doubleheader on Feb. 21. Arum told ESPN.com that if the deal is worked out it would look like this: ex-welterweight titlist Miguel Cotto would return from his loss to Margarito to face either Kermit Cintron or Jose Soto Karass in Atlantic City, N.J., to be followed on the broadcast by Kelly Pavlik returning from his loss to Bernard Hopkins to defend the middleweight title against mandatory challenger Marco Antonio Rubio at the Chevy Center in his native Youngstown, Ohio. In each arena, the other bout would be shown live on big screens, Arum said. "There's conversation, but it's not a deal yet," Arum said. "But it would be a great night for boxing. HBO came up with the idea and I like it."

    Good idea as long as they put it on regular HBO.

    i want to see cintron-cotto BAD. cintron could seriously knock him out before the 7th, if it goes that long, it means cotto has taken control and grinds him down the stretch.

    cotto should win, but with his chin and cintron's power, that would be a HELL of a fight.

    Ya I agree, I would favor Cotto by late TKO or UD, but with Cintrons power... this fight could change with one punch

    It's interesting. Cotto and Pavlik always make good fighters cuz of their style (besides hopkins-pavlik)...Having it on free HBO would be great in attracting fans to boxing b/c they're gtd good fights IMO; it would also grow cotto/pavlik's fan base and build up fights (Cotto-Margo II & Pavlik-Margo)


    I think PPV'ing this (if Cotto faces Berto or Cintron) would do 250k+

    should be a couple good fights.

    Cintron-Cotto has fight of the year written all over it.
