Floyd gets 300,000 buys just for fighting, it doesnt matter who. Proof of that is his 320,000 buys when he fought Baldomir.
Cotto is a big draw as well, an even bigger draw now. They reach to two completely different fan bases.
Thats why i say, with some good selling and promoting, this fight definetly does upwards of 400,000.
COTTO-MAYWEATHER is a megafight

I don't doubt the first part. He's fought the two biggest draws in the sport in recent times on PPV and seems to have picked up a lot of the fairweather PPV buying fans on his bandwagon.
But he owes that 300,000 he got for the Baldy fight almost completely to Gatti. Not only did Arturo put Floyd on the PPV map in the first place, he then put Baldy on the map too. Floyd strolled in and mopped up the suds.
