Martinez vs Cotto - Start Time

Main Event Start Time: I've seen 4am. As it's in New York would it be earlier than the Vegas events or still likely around 5am?

PS - I saw the Face Off and Martinez had some harsh words to Cotto about him being a bad role model and being mean. I also saw a UK journalist on Boxnation agreeing saying that if you spent time around him you would know he's one of the most miserable boxers you'll ever meet!

That surprised me as I always thought he was very humble and generally good natured. Any thoughts?

No thoughts mate but I'll be watching!!

Martinez LKO.

Cotto has/was been one of my favourite fighters of recent generation, but seems he has adopted the Mayweather stance of acting like a diva, wanting to enter the ring last even though Martinez is the champ. I don't take kindly someone interfering with tradition and undermining a legitimate champion like that, so wont shred a tear if Martinez hands him a good hiding.

Cheers

Martinez and Butler look absolute certanties to win this weekend. You can double them for around 0.95-to-1.

Big stake, steady win.

Im off to Serbia for a month on Sunday morning so am debating on whether to get some needed sleep or stay up and watch this and kip on the train to Luton Airport. Should be a great fight. Martinez will win on points

Slight risk with Butler. Agreed Martinez is a no brainier, odds a bit short for me.

From Dan Rafael's Twitter

“Cotto-Martinez purses: Cotto $3M (guaranteed $7M), Martinez $1.5M (but will get way more, on %).

Vazquez Jr. 65k, Sonsona 30k,

Melendez 85k, Maciel 10k,

Lee 70k, Jackson 60k,”


The split shows who is the bigger PPV seller.

I'm expecting a good fight, Cotto is rarely in a bad one.

Nice info Strongy.

Big purse for Cotto, always has been a big draw in MSG.

I'm going for Martinez via 5th round KO.
