Cotto is the most financially logical and most known opponent he can face. I dont remember hearing this excuse when he fought Baldomir or Gatti so why are you all even mentioning it? I can gaurantee that if he fights Cotto, the numbers will be bigger than Mayweather/Hatton. Stop coppin please and admit that this is just another attempt by the Mayweather camp to preserve his record.
go to any barbershop, talk to any groups of boxers/boxing fans and you'll find some hesitation to call him the the "UNDISPUTED" p4p king.
Uh, no...you won't. You think I've never been outta my house? It is WIDELY accepted, and by widely I mean the VAST MAJORITY agrees, that he is the pound for pound king right now, Cotto fight or no Cotto fight.
The only people who question are the few on this site who like to go against majority opinion so that they can stand out and get some attention, but seriously.
sorry, but there really hasnt been a fighter who has encountered this much resistance whether you recognize it or not. go to any barbershop, talk to any groups of boxers/boxing fans and you'll find some hesitation to call him the the "UNDISPUTED" p4p king. i got him #1 because of what i BELIEVE he can do but if he doesnt take this Cotto fight and fights a lesser opponent, he comes off the list completely.
your right ppl talk about him conquering 5 division...de la hoya got to 6 division world champion and they remember him because he fought the best maywheather has the chance to seal his legacy by cleaning out 147 and he would get respected because the clean the hottest division in boxing but as of now he's just fake floyd making money.
Uh no. What's cliche and predictable is for every great fighter to put up with this BS like Roy Jones did. Retire now or later, he's already an alltimer, case closed. You're wrong, period.

I will take that bet if it were to happen right after this fight, it WON'T do as many numbers as PBF/Hatton, at least not right now. By this time next year is a totally different story.
lets do it.
Hatton has a larger fan base than Cotto. PBF wanted Shane to win since he's the bigger name. Cotto needs to unify titles and then call him out, by then it should "make sense by making dollars".
dude, im speaking about AFTER Hatton, why is that hard to understand? is he gonna give Hatton a rematch immediately? no.
lol you love puerto rican fighters, man. especially with that typical reggetonero for your avi. thats cool. nobody could say you are unpatriotic. :hijacked:
he's actually a rapper not a reggetonero.:puppy_dog and reggeatonero is a wack word.
Margerito is a bum...he isnt worthy of fighting. baldimir. He is the only fighter in history that has a fan base...even after he got BEAT OUT OF THE JR MIDDLEWEIGHT DIVISION BECAUSE HE COULD NOT HANG. Then he moved down, not up, but down..who ever heard of that,,,and got beat by Williams.
I think that about sums up Margerito. As far as Mayweather, should he beat Hatton, to go down as a pound per pound all timer, he must make that fight with Cotto. Which I think he will do, and avoid Williams, as that is a bad match up for him, very bad match up.
the fact that discussions like these are ALWAYS brought up when speaking of Floyd means he does and this isnt restricted to the internet. stop saying that, its already cliche and predictable.
Uh no. What's cliche and predictable is for every great fighter to put up with this BS like Roy Jones did. Retire now or later, he's already an alltimer, case closed. You're wrong, period.
ill bet my screename that Gayweather/Jotto will do bigger numbers than Gaweather/Fatton.

dude. mayweather is a business man. havent u watch 24/7. honestly mayweather is a gunius. all u ppl gettin worked ova this shit. his just stiring da pot so more ppl will demand the fight. its call demand and supply. the more ppl that wants the fight, the more money he'll get. all u ppl ventin ur anger out demandin da fight, it will come. relax!!
think about it. if cotto has a couple more big wins, then fightin him in the future will bring more money on the table then if he were to fight cotto after hatton. the longer mayweather waits, the more money he'll receive from all u ppl.
You say "obviously". No. I'm sorry. That isn't obvious to me at all. How do you know? What info do you have?
I heard the fight revenues were very disappointing. The fact that HBO hasn't released the figures would seem to validate that.
So then who should be Floyd's next opponent keeping in mind that he's looking for someone who can do big numbers. Dont pussfoot around the question, drop a name and prove how he can do bigger than Cotto. DLH is out of the question.
im sorry man but because u don't believe arum dosen't mean ur telling what the real ones are i believe cotto-mosley did more than 350,000 ppv buys it did good and you'll be surprised.

HE should definately face Cotto next. BEtting man Says he does a Sugar Ray Leanord Ala MArvin Hagler if you HBO dig what I'm saying....but we'lll see what happens..
Has it? What did the Cotto-Mosley PPV do?
note: please don't quote that Arum number.
In PR it did more than 50,000 buys alone obviously in th US did more than 300,000 the point is cotto could make numbers he has a big fan base and he is' the #1 welterweight there is no excuse for floyd.

Lets see what happens. Has Cotto been trying to get the Mayweather fight? Well if he wants to fight Floyd, he should start calling him out, get himself ringside for the fight on the 8th. But Cotto isn't big on calling guys out, it's not in his nature. Arum will start doing so, if he wants to make the fight happen, besides Bob might want Cotto to take a tune up sort of fight just for the bank balance before Cotto fights any more big names.
