I will give Floyd some credit if he fights Cotto. Will you?

I thought that PBF & Manny were going to fight...what happened?
-Did somebody duck somebody?

 

if that means steward doesnt commentate the fight, im all for it

 

Stewards hatred for Floyd is ridiculous. However Diaz is a much better trainer for Cotto than Steward is.

 

Mayweather-Cotto will do 1.5 million buys. It will do huge ppv numbers.

 

Kind of disappointed its not in MSG. Floyd-Cotto in the Garden would be insane.

 

more than that

 

Which is why Floyd won't do it. He's such a fucking Charlatan of a man. Duran went there and fought Moore. Floyd's a cunt. It always has to be Floyd's way. The useless bastard wouldn't even give the fans the atmosphere of the garden to go with the relative formality that is fighting the remnants of post-Pac Cotto. Fuck him.

 

They have a "silent agreement" to not fight each other, make money elsewhere, and go to war through the press rather than in the ring.

"It's his fault!!"
"No, it's HIS fault!"

 

Aren't big fights these days ALWAYS in Vegas? Like ALWAYS? Why would you expect anything else?

 

Not sure. I think it deserves its own thread though.

 

Floyd hasn't fought outside of Vegas since he fought Sharmba Mitchell in 2005.

 

Good point. I may just find an internet to paste into it article first...

 

That's a relief- always important to me is the PPV numbers.

MTF :goodnews:

 

It's important because Pac vs. Bradley will be lucky to do 1 million...so in a sense Mayweather wins the 50/50 split ppv debate.

 

mayweather jr vs cotto will outsell pacquiao vs cotto. and any other pacquiao fight ever, for that matter.

 

true, because he's coming off an impressive victory. one of the best of his career. rather than beating some jewish stiff after getting his ass completely whipped.

 

The problem I have with all this is that, yes Floyd sells more PPV's than anyone else but that is because he fights about once a year. If people start using this 'Floyd sells loads' arguments to validate nonsense about who should get more cash, then what this encouarges is for MORE top fighters to fight LESS often. That is obviously :shit:

MTF

 

The Mayorga fight bombed on PPV, 250,000 buys or so.

 

Diaz is still Cotto's trainer.

 

you said that cotto is a bigger draw now than when he fought manny. how do you figure that? thats the point of it.

 

didt the first fight with tony do the same numbers?

 

i think margarito became a bigger draw over that time than cotto.

 

1.5 - 1.8 mill

 

?? I thought the first fight did 500K....and the rematch did close to 600K..
