Lets forget business, what makes PPV and all that crap, Floyds turning boxing fans into business analysts..
We want to see the best fight the best.
That's what it all comes down to. Cotto isn't as popular as a Hatton, but he's not exactly a John Ruiz either. He brings a crowd in, he has PR on his back and he's the most legitimate contender to Mayweathers supremacy
If he beats Margarito in July boxing fans should unite to DEMAND this damn fight, bottom line.
CLEARLY. Cotto couldnt draw 8,000 fans to watch him fight Gomez, a bum, while Hatton draws 55,000 fans to watch him fight an even bigger bum
What are you talking about? Cotto-Gomez had 9,427 fans in attendance, which was about 5 or 600 hundred less than the announced attendance for Taylor-Pavlik I, and pretty much the same number as Mayweather-Baldomir.
Anyway, Hatton is clearer the bigger draw. Hell, he's a bigger draw than Oscar. Can Oscar sell 55,000 tickets fighting Juan Lazcano? I doubt it.
