Was just wondering about this to myself the other day. I know Mayweather/Canelo did better numbers than Mayweather/Cotto but I think it was due in large part to some of the names on the undercard and it falling on a Mexican holiday. Even though "Ring Kings" itself launched on Cinco de Mayo, the buzz surrounded two fighters who were anything but Mexican.
I think it's fair to say they're in the same bracket as far as paydays go, but who produces the bigger number and/or who's more deserving of the higher purse is what I'm curious to know. If they fight is Canelo the star because he's Mexico's next big thing or does Cotto deserve it more? Would either guy holding a title even be consequential at that point?
