On Saturday, November 10th, the most anticipated fight of the year will take place, as Miguel Cotto will put his WBA world title on the line when he squares off against WBC Interim Champion Sugar Shane Mosley.
The fight will take place inside the Mecca of boxing, Madison Square Garden.
Tickets have been on sale since September 6th with seat prices going for $750, $500, $300, $200 and $100 .
The fight will be available on closed circuit TV and also pay per view with a suggested retail price of $49.95.

Shane believes that Miguel will be the toughest body puncher he has ever faced.
With Miguel acknowledging that Shane is his biggest test to date.
