    Maybe if Arum hadn't dicked us on the undercard, it would've been selling better.

    I was gonna drive down to NYC for this one. At first, JuanMa was gonna be on the card. And Humberto Soto vs Anthony Peterson. Now the main undercard is Vanes Martirosyan against Joe Greene, in a 10 rounder?

    **** that.

    Its gonna be embarrassing to have such a small attendance for a Stadium. I dont know why Arum thought he could put anyone not name Pacquiao or Hatton in a stadium in the US anyways.

    I think they will do about 20k. What was Cotto's highest gate attendance previously? Im assuming its a packed MSG.

    This is the Super Bowl for Jewish and Hispanic communities according to Arum. Arum also hopes to have a crowd of around 30,000 for the fight.

    Only if they let people in for half price at the gate. LOL. I actually looked into taking the drive to NY and watching the fight, but like previously mentioned the undercards are garbage and the atmopshere won't be all that impressive with such a small crowd.

    Martirosyan-Greene is a top fight IMO but they're nobody to casuals.

    Has Cotto's stock dropped THAT bad?? New York has a massive Hispanic and Jewish population. It really should have sold well. I thought Cotto was a big draw in NY?? They must not beleive in him anymore.........just like NOONE cared when RJJ was fighting JC.
