Top Rank's Bob Arum said the new working date for a rematch between junior middleweight titlist Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito is Dec. 3, in a pay-per-view fight. Margarito stopped Cotto in the 11th round of a 2008 welterweight title bout that hangs under a cloud of suspicion because many believe Margarito fought using loaded gloves. (He was caught trying to fight Shane Mosley with loaded hand wraps in his next fight.) Arum said Margarito, who had recent cataract surgery because of eye injuries sustained against Manny Pacquiao in November, would be ready to fight by December. Top Rank had originally hoped to put on Cotto-Margarito II in July, but then pushed it back to September before moving it again because of Margarito's medical situation. Arum said he hopes to stage the proposed rematch at New York's Madison Square Garden, where Cotto has fought regularly and is a big draw among the Puerto Rican community. Cotto's March 12 fight against Ricardo Mayorga was produced and distributed by Showtime PPV even though Cotto's major fights had regularly been on HBO PPV previously. Arum said Showtime had the right of a first negotiation for Cotto's next fight but that he is free to also shop the bout to HBO.
