This weekend: Cotto,Miranda,Vazquez v Marquez,it's going to be AWEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMe!!!!!2 8)
"HBO paid around $2.5 million for the Cotto fight. Showtime paid around a million bucks for their event(Vazquez Marquz). Again, one network seems to be about fighters. The other, about fights. This was about dollars and common sense."
Dumbasses@HBO!
The best weekend of boxing so far this year, Miranda v Green and Marquez v Vasquez are two dream match ups, Darchinyan in what seems to be a tougher test, then add a likely Cotto masterclass to the equation and that makes us boxing fans some lucky sons of bitches! :coolclick: great article, the business is crazy but seems to be wising up on whole to making good match-ups to prevent 'defectors' from going to MMA. While I disagree that MMA will kill boxing, but having 3 cards on one night, HBO, Showtime and UFC 68 PPV, it makes us choose and therefore the money has to be be shared out, surely they should wise up to this and put some bigger cards on Friday nights.
CC back my man. Yeah,it's going to be an awesome weekend,forgot about the Vic fight,that should be a war too!!!! Yeah,I hope the threat from MMA waked up promoters so that they'll work together more!! And may be it will make HBO and stop making RIDICULOUS ppv CARDS!!
Thats interesting. Like to see what viewing figures they get.Quote:

You're joking! Sky aren't covering EITHER fight?!!?! Shows how much they know about boxing and don't they show bloody angling and other obscure sports like that?! I don't think either fight will get massive viewing figures simply because Cotto,although growing in popularity by the day,still isnt' massively well known(although he will be if he carries on like this) and even though Rafa and Isreal are both P4P , they are not common name to the average fan ALTHOUGH anyone who misses that fight needs get examined!Quote:

Cotto-Urkal was summed up best in that article... meaningless mis-mandatory. He's a 100/1 on! shot with the bookies for gods sake.

I hope that its going to be a good one! i can really see it being an amazing match up! i think RM will get it though.
I sure hope this is a great fight and to think I'll be there that night is great.....
I will miss a LIVE, Cotto fight for the 1st time since I first saw him :( But hey! I can't complain as soon as I get home I'll replay the fight....
Wait! a minute, I'm looking at the tickets and it says the doors open at 5:00 p.m. If I'm not mistaken the Cotto fight should be starting somewhere around 8:00 p.m. (Depending how long the Miranda-Green fight last).... Hmmmmm! interesting I might just be able to jet out of Carson down the 710 to the 105 onto the 605 and be home on time.... :)
You know somehow I see or think that Vazquez is gonna dominate Marquez :-\
Nah! Highly doubtful that either would dominate the other....Quote:

Hold on tight cause it's gonna take off.... 8)
should be a great match action packed for sure !
Miranda -vs.- Green could be something to keep an eye on also however don‘t know if either guy can come back from being hurt by the other.. Both these guys have the type punch and finishing tools to see the job through . . ..
the Graham Earl -vs.- Michael Katsidis fight last week might be hard to top.. that was a nice scrap ! O0
CutmeMick, you heard anything about the undercard to the fight yet?
I mean its a good enough main event that you don't have to have a great undercard but a decent co feature wouldn't be bad.
Ok, Darchinyan-Burgos is the co headliner, guess I should start reading these articles every once in a while ;D
Darchinyan faces Victor Burgos and according to boxrec...those are the only two fights scheduled that night.Quote:

;D I love Firefox because you don't have to go through the hassle of opening another window or anything...just another tab. But I think I read less articles now then I did before too.Quote:
