Countdown for Cotto-Margarito!! Let's talk here (video added)

[CutMeMick]

I just read on 2 different sites that HBO has confirmed that they will do a "Countdown" to this fight.

Dan Rafael from ESPN said that HBO's comments were something like "Due to the outrage from the fans and media alike we've decided to do a countdown"


I think a countdown WILL add that much more flare & fuel to the fight.

Great news!It'll spice up the fight even more.I hope its a geniune build up show....NO MICKY MOUSE SHOW!!!

The countdowns are usually much better than the fights themselves. Always like to see fight build ups and documentarys

[El Gamo]

Dam right. I bet they read me moaning and whining and changed their mind

[Althugz]

Good, they made the right choice!

This fight doesn't need much hype but the documentaries are always interesting and of course, helps get the casual fan interested.

I think POB's letter to them might of changed there mind good work bro

The thing is with these "countdown" shows.. The only reason they get made is to SELL the fight.

Although WE (hardcore fans) obviously enjoy and want them, they're not aimed at us.

We KNOW the likes of Cotto-Margarito is a 100% guaranteed classic and will watch at any cost.




(This post would be better placed in El Gamo's NON-HBO show thread )

HBO Countdown crews today are in the camps of Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito. Cotto is training in Caguas, Puerto Rico, while Margarito is in Los Angeles.

I don't care if I have to turn on subtitles, or get my buddy over here to translate, I want the Countdown show. Fighting doesn't have a language.

I don't know about Margarito but no disputing how big Cotto is in Puerto Rico they go crazy for him. Even the ones in New York.
