The next Don King, Bob Arum when he retires perhaps (again). For sure he won't leave boxing. His ego's surely to large to be a trainer.

also he had to make a weight a couple of pounds shy.. thats a kilo, in boxing terms a crap or a Piss.
Um... no. A kilo in boxing terms is a lot, because these guys are cutting it close. They can't crap out what they haven't eaten or Piss when they have barely touched a liquid in 2-3 days. A kilo is an extra half hour or hour in the sauna jumping rope 24 hours before the fight when you're dehydrated, hungry, and very low on energy. Hardly a way to prepare yourself for the toughest opponent of your career. I've not heard of Cotto struggling to make the 145lbs. I just question why it was ever necessary in the first place. In hindsight, it is a needless asterisk against the fight, and gives the likes of Mayweather reason to discredit it, justified or not. |

Fight did 1.5 million PPV buys BTW
Hitman what is the relevance of that figure? I could guess shit but I won't. I really don't know other than things that have crap all to do with men fighting in a ring. Business? is that all this sport is now? I've looked to this sport for my heroes, modern day gladiators an all that shite, is it just about how many PPV's really for you guys? Thats how we should judge a fighter now? If so boxings F***ed as Pete says. |

Got back from Vegas today so had chance to watch it again. I must admit on the night I thought it was a lot closer than it was and even felt cotto could have got the win but on second viewing on the box rather than live ( and not wasted) Floyd won by 5/6 rounds IMO. Either way it was a great fight to attend and again another amazing trip to Vegas!

I think it was the cotto vs mayweather fight I saw and there was a blonde ring card girl and she was AMAZING.
I dont know what round it was, but she panned around and even from the side she was the just so perfect.
Did any one see this girl, if you saw her you would know what I mean.
It might not have been the cotto money fight.
Any one see her or know her name?
