HBO NOT doing a Cotto v Margarito countdown.....

[Althugz]

I don't think that the language is an excuse. There are always translators and that dude with his dramatic narrative voice will get people interested. This is a massive fight which deserves as much build-up as possible. Especially as the winner will be looking for a shot against Floyd Mayweather! Floyd's excuse for not fighting Cotto is that he doesn't bring enough of a fan base for a mega-money bout. HBO aren't exactly helping to put that excuse to rest.
They should absolutely do a countdown for this fight. It's insane not to.

I'm sure that they will do one. They do one for every PPV show, and they will do one for what they consider to be a "special event" free show.

HBO benefits from these shows, because they help sell the event, thus more PPV buys, resulting in more money for them.

They've had Cotto in 2 already (Judah & Mosley), and they've done shows where they had to use translators (Marquez & Morales), so I don't see whether or not they speak any, or good English, being a factor.
