Sergio: “Come June 7, Cotto Will Be Evicted From Madison Square Garden”
Sergio Martinez Blog, Part 4
June 2, 2014
Question for Sergio Martinez – Great Argentine fighters like Carlos Monzon and Oscar Bonavena fought at Madison Square Garden. You have fought at the Theater at MSG, but how important is for you to continue that tradition of great Argentine fighters performing at the mecca of boxing?
A: It has been a major dream of mine to fight at Madison Square Garden in the big room. I never would have imagined that I would be headlining a main event over there if you asked me that 10 years ago. To fight at Madison Square Garden where great Argentinean boxers fought like Oscar Bonavena and Carlos Monzon is the grandest honor that any Argentinean boxer could possibly have.
The Argentinean community in New York has always been very supportive of me, and I expect an incredible atmosphere similar to a world cup soccer match. Miguel Cotto says Madison Square Garden is his home, but come June 7th he will be evicted and I will prove that I am one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world.
24/7 Cotto/Martinez Show #2 debuts Thursday, June 5 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on HBO.Cotto vs. Martinez happens Saturday, June 7 live on pay-per-view beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.
