    You didn't answer my question. How badly did it burn in your stomach to see Cotto and Margarito frontpage on ESPN?

    not only that but I dont see any bad blood for both fighters coming into the ring. I like the way they respect each other but all the drama brings more attention to the event.

    i want boxing off PPV because its hurting are sport, but pleeeese let this be a PPV success if only as a reward for both fighters signing on the dotted line to treat us to what i'm sure will be a classic

    It didn't burn ... I order the fight ...

    Why would I be mad? ... ESPN is a sports network and boxing is a sport and its an event so i'm sure it was much deserved to have Cotto v Margarito on the front page of ESPN.com

    Please believe it ...

    but i'm not going to go out on a limb and say that this fight will have 500k buys ... the marketing of this fight was weak ...

    I'm sure that 500k fans would watch it but i'm not convinced that all would buy it. I'm not even sure that 1/2 will buy it ...

    Fair enough. It just seems it would really **** you off if this fight did well. What with all the feelings you have for Mayweather Jr. n' all.

    Neither of the 2 headliners tonight have created a persona that sells PPV's.

    Mayweather's made the cover of ESPN magazine, and he has the accomplishments to deserve it.

    Hell even Kimbo Slice has made the front of ESPN....

    No way will this fight do 500k. I'd be ecstatic if it does 400k even, which would be 100k more than Cotto did against Mosley or Judah.

    And anyone who thinks Margarito is a bigger name than Mosley or Judah is a damn fool.
