His? You mean Floyd's? >__>... Cotto would have had only had a few hundred k if this was PPV. Those numbers are good though since many people see the fight together so its not like only a mil saw him.

What's wrong with 1.4 million viewers? Everyones acting like this is **** or something! UFC is doing far less for the same quality fight.

Pretty good for Showtime, probably would have done closer to 2 million on HBO.

Showtime should be getting mad props for showing us all these fights this year. It's been a good year for them and us boxing fans.
