I can't find a sports bar in STL showing Pacquiao-Cotto

    and I have no idea why. It's a $65 fight in HD -- a sports bar orders that, it wouldn't take more than three or four customers to cover the cost. Unless there's some kind of rule against sports bars showing it that I don't know about?

    Sports bars get charged by the total capacity when it comes to PPV. For them, it's $65 times a whole lot more.

    You want to see the fight? Go to East St. Louis.

    Hard to believe Pujols place is not showing it.

    Look for a Fillipino restaurant I bet they will have it on

    Take the capacity of the place and multiply by 65. That's why a lot of smaller places stopped buying PPV.

    Can't believe this is the only thread on the fight - I'm following it on ESPN's live blog. Sounds like a hell of a fight - they're in round 8 and it sounds like Manny is winning.

    Watched it online during downtime in the Oregon game. Manny pretty well kicked his ass.

    First three round were even. Manny taking his time to see the speed and power of Cotto. Once Manny went on the offensive it was a disaster. The Cotto corner wasn't equipped to make adjustments, manage cuts or understand when to stop the fight.

    I loved Cotto's imitation of Thor. Classic.
