TicketLiquidator's Ticket of the Week: Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto Boxing Match in Las Vegas
VERNON, CT--(Marketwire - August 17, 2009) - TicketLiquidator, the leading provider of the world's most
extensive ticket inventory for hard-to-find, low-priced tickets, announced
today that tickets for the Pacquiao vs. Cotto welterweight boxing match are
available for purchase at affordable prices on TicketLiquidator.com.
On Saturday, November 14, 2009 Manny Pacquiao, boxing's top pound-for-pound
fighter, will battle for the fourth division world title against WBO
welterweight champ Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. This high-stakes boxing event will be
held a few pounds shy of the max weight of 147 pounds.
Manny "Pac-Man" Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs) is the first Filipino boxer to
have won five world titles in different weight divisions in flyweight,
super bantamweight, featherweight, super featherweight, lightweight and his
most recent addition, a junior welterweight title against Ricky Hatton.
Pacquiao has beaten major boxing champions including Juan Manuel
Marquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barerra.
Miguel Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) of Puerto Rico currently holds the WBO belt and
comes from a long legacy of boxers. He has earned the title of AMB Welter
Champion six times consecutively -- his only loss to Antonio Margarito in
2008, has been under scrutiny due to illegal hand wraps worn by the Mexican
boxer.
"Both fighters have garnered numerous belt titles and that's what's so
appealing about the Pacquiao vs. Cotto matchup," stated Alexandra Owens,
Managing Editor. "The WBO Diamond belt is at stake, as is the opportunity
for Pacquiao or Cotto to garner the spotlight in the boxing world."
Cotto is known for having a large fan base -- something Pacquiao claims
attracted him to the match. Pacquiao gave Top Rank chairman Bob Arum the go
ahead and book the event last June. According to Arum, "He (Pacquiao) was
impressed by Cotto's fan support and told me it reminded him of how the
British fans stand with Ricky Hatton." As one of the most anticipated
boxing matches since Mayweather vs.
Marquez, Pacquiao vs. Cotto tickets
are TicketLiquidator's Ticket of the Week.
