    IMO they must have this countdown , this will put more interesting the fight , i dont think that HBO dont doing this because Cotto and Margaro dont speak or dont speak very well the English language , previously HBO had make a countdown with others Latin boxers and if we see Cotto had improve a bit in speak the Language , he can make it like in the countdown with Mosley and HBO can translate for Magerito , HBO make the countdown for all Stellar Fights .....................

    This is a great fight for hardcore fans BUT probably wont appeal much to casual fans.

    I'm pretty sure all-Latino fights are not very good sellers (they don't do the numbers the fights deserve). Margarito is unknown outside the hardcore. Cotto, although brilliant inside the ropes, is a bore outside.

    Maybe you guys are right about the langugue not being a barrier.. Considering this type of fight needs selling.

    he language barriar wouldn't be to much of an issue... Cotto would speak english most of the time and translators would take care of Tony...

    It would mostly be their back stories and their training camp... I am actually pretty upset about this...

    I couldn't care less if they were mute. although I know their stories already I want to see acountdown!

    It sure does

    We're all boxing nuts (apart from a few obsessed with single fighters).

    That sux.

    HBO should do an aftermath Cotto-Margarito special then. Kinda like the "Inside NFL" sort of thing.

    They didn't want to have to go to Tijuana to do the background of Margarito
