Lets set the record straight for once. Miguel has been on countless amounts of Pay Per Views, while Margarito hasn't been on very many. The two that he headlined were completely and utter failures. Lets takes a look at his co headlined PPV with Shane Mosley on ESPN PPV. This ended up being the last PPV by ESPN because it did so poorly. Then Margarito had another PPV for his comeback that did a crazy 15,000 buys. Sounds like a PPV star to me!
Cotto on the other hand did 200,000 against Judah, 400,000 against Mosley(the same Mosley that fought Margarito on WCB), 100,000 against Jennings, and outsold Margarito head to head against Pacquaio by another 150,000 buys.
Now he does 250,000 buys and people want to say Margarito sold that PPV? What kind of rock are you on? The reason why that fight did what it did was because for starters it was viewed as a tune up. Another reason was it was on SHO. I'm sorry but no matter how you dice it SHO is not HBO and doesn't reach out to many viewers. Thirdly, HBO was running a fight with one of the most exciting fighters. Had this fight been on HBO is there any doubt it would not of done 400,000 buys, I doubt it.
There has been nothing ever that indicated Margarito ever being a draw and certainly nothing that ever showed that Margarito was a bigger PPV attraction or had a fan base. I don't know where these fools come from.
