Antonio Margarito vs Miguel Cotto II on HBO PPV, Brandon Rios on Showtime

It was announced by Top Rank that the Dec. 3rd rematch between Antonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto will be broadcast and distributed by HBO PPV, which was a bit of a surprise. Many believed that since HBO landed the Pacquiao-Marquez event, that Showtime would end up with at least this bout which is scheduled for the Madison Square Garden in New York.

With that said, it appears that Brandon Rios will appear on Showtime on Dec. 10th. Him

Rios getting back on this particular network was not contingent on Margarito-Cotto II going to Showtime.
