Cotto-Martinez sold around the same as Canelo-Angulo

Cotto martinez a flop. Only 350K buys
I honestly believe duBoef and company were emboldened enough to believe the fight would sell itself. PR Day weekend, high-profile bout in the first-half of 2014, Cotto's name recognition at MSG, the Puerto Rico/Argentina rivalry.
Not to mention the Puerto Rican prospects they hyped on the undercard did not deliver, sans Verdejo who is fighting again in PR in August.

I'd tend to agree with freaky but there is some lingering doubt. No problem with the Canelo loss, very competitive. Watching live, Trout looked perplexed and lost against Lara. Like he had no answers or desire. His confidence seems badly shaken. Plus the long layoff having not fought since December at Barclays. Ring rust may become a factor. This isn't the same No Doubt that beat Cotto in 2012. I still have faith but only time will tell if he's lost his appetite for fighting.

Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson both fighting tomato cans on the same card. Sure makes a lot of sense.

Didn't know Lamont Peterson still had a belt.
Going to have to look up DSG's opponent
There has been so many fights in NY since Barclays Center has been built.
Anybody know why there wasn't as many boxing events in NYC before it was built?

Peterson wants no parts of Machine after AC massacre. And Haymon doesn't want to risk DSG against Matthysse, Herrera in rematches or even Postol who I think Swift would defeat comfortably and convincingly.Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson both fighting tomato cans on the same card.

Slightly disappointed Porter/Brook is likely moved to another date and venue. I'll be there August 9th regardless as an early birthday present to myself. Porter's pops still thinks Brook's camp will find a way to pullout like the Alexander negotiations.

It's something like the fourth or fifth PPV so far this year. I truly hope duBoef did not have that state of mind. If the crappy promotional tour hurt PBF's PPV's earlier in the year, what would make him think Cotto was immune to that.
Freaky, they're setting it up for a unification fight between the two of them in the winter or first Q next year.

Peterson won the IBF Light Welterweight strap off Dierry Jean in January, albeit in DC. At the Armory. Khan weeps somewhere in the UK. Quite impressively, I might add was Peterson's performance in a pick 'em fight for many.
NYC the Mecca of Boxing, brotha. In all seriousness, I love it. Great opportunities for tri-state boxing fans.

DSG better not be allowing complacency in his camp. At least give us Postol if not the rematches with Machine or Herrera. Most of us believe Swift lost his last fight anyway. Garcia was hungry and motivated to prove doubters wrong against Matthysse. And for the sake of hyperbole, his camp was begging for the opportunity in the Amir Khan fight. Don't turtle up and get conservative on the boxing world now. Fight the best.DSG taking the safe route with that guy

Rod Salka? Am I a casual for not knowing who the hell that is?

Only if you're from PA. He's never been KO'ed for what it's worth.

What I meant was that Gacia vs Peterson is a logical matchup.

What are they gonna be fighting at? Unless there's another Rod Salka, looks like he's a lightweight, shouldn't DSG be fighting at middleweight soon?

140 for DSG's belts. Garcia is planning a move to 147 next year. The earlier rumor was a bout with Peterson for unification purposes, hence why freaky is likely disappointed with Salka. As are most of us.

After Danny's last fight (which I thought there was no doubt he lost) he needs a tune up.
I give him a pass on this fight but his next has to be legit competition.

Swift taking another tune up fight...after a tune up fight.
A unification bout with Peterson is not something that needs to marinate, it practically sells itself.

Danny Garcia and his dad are dumb for prolonging his interest to fight Floyd Mayweather. It was only a matter of time before someone decent exposes him. He would need 5 fights to equate what he makes in one against Floyd.
