His fight against Cotto at Madison Square Garden was a sensational war that most had him winning.” “As we know this Saturday is the biggest night in the sport, for no extra cost we are offering fans the opportunity to watch the Mayweather/Alvarez fight LIVE from Las Vegas following the main event. This is the best bargain in New York City to watch the fight.” Chris Algieri: “We’ve had a great camp and I’m very excited to be fighting this Saturday night.
