Hey Ramon, is the margarito-cotto conference in LA free to the public? I would love to check it out.

No, Frankie this will be press only. Generally the press conferences that are open to the public occur when the fight is right around the corner. There will likely be another set of pressers sometime in mid July that will encourage the fans to come out. I'll keep you posted on those.
