Floyd says he won't fight Cotto until Cotto has a bigger fanbase and can draw more money. Yet, I wonder, honestly, who really has the bigger fanbase? Floyd is known for sending people out of the stadium if he's not fighting a named opponent. How on earth could his be bigger than the rising star Cotto who can easily sellout MSG?
WRONG.
Mayweather's lowest selling fight was against Baldomir...HIS LOWEST. 340K. And that is STILL higher than anything that Cotto has ever sold.
Wrong, It wasn't bigger than Cotto/Mosley and not including DHL or Hatton their numbers are about even. Maybe 40 or 50 thousands in Floyd's favor.
If he had never fought DHL, Floyd would still be averaging 300,000 if even that.
Floyd has an anti-fanbase.
It's bigger than the relatively modest fanbase-conventional of a Miguel Cotto.
That anti-fanbase works just as well for promoting and selling a fight at this stage as any fanbase-conventional would.
they think that if the people who dont like you personally, but they buy your fights and come to your fights.. are not the fighters fans..because they dont like him.
Wait...Souja isn't Horus? I thought it was obvious with the whole they use the same font thing.
They belong to an internet (bscene) gang that mainly supports black fighters.
I don't know who has a bigger fanbase, but Mayweather has proven to be a better PPV seller. PPVs generate more money than ticket sales.
Floyd's full of it anyway. I don't know why people take his comments seriously.
I take it as him just trying to hold out for more money.
Ive been a floyd fan since he fought Coralles,and Ive bought all of his PPV's...When I buy the PPV i know im not going to see a slugfest, but Im going to see Boxing (hit and dont get hit) and it's best.
You my friend make sense.....Unlike your fellow internet gang brother Whore-us.

That's my point
The laws are there, but it doesnt meaned that they are right...!!
Just like the dictionary has words...
It doesnt meaned that they are right..!!
What if somebody prove tomorrow that something that we thought was fact, was all of a sudden a myth..??
Remember People use to write in books that the World was flat..!
You get my point..!
Please Read..
First, I said you can believe in what you want to believe in...
I wrote that 3 post ago... You have that Right
My point is that just because some things are a general consensus doesnt make it right, and doesnt meaned you or I have to follow it...
Like you said, some the worst things that ever happen to humanity were once general consensus. Such as Slavery was once a general consensus. That it was good thing..
If you cant get that then we should stop this conversation right now and agree to disagree..
Read Please....
I watch all of Mayweather's fight on payperviewsat, I would never pay to watch Floyd fight. And I only watch to see him lose and those inflated Mayweather numbers are because he fought Delahoya and Hatton who brought in most of those numbers. How has Mayweather done against any other fighter not named Hatton or DHL? The same as Cotto.
Exactly...
Fans take to a team, person or fighter because they LIKE the individual...
They want to see them do well and suceed at what it is they do...
So me watching a Floyd fight and hoping lightning comes out of the sky and hits him in his mouth doesn't seem very fan like to me...
Sometimes its best to just shut the fuck up Horus and take being wrong like a man...
Dude sounded like a lobbyist for a new dictionary for a minute...
LMAO! :lol1:
LoL, just got back to this thread. Forgot I posted it, LoL. Um, someone mentioned, so what's a fanbase. I was thinking, a fanbase, are people that want to see you fight, like the way you fight, and have become a fan because of the way you fight. So while I think Floyd has people that are paying to see him lose against his marquee opponent, I think Cotto has actual FANs that like to see him fight because they like him as a fighter.
If you buy a ppv go to the event just to see him lose your part of his fanbase
You're wrong. I can just be a fan of the sport itself, and not a fan of any particular fighter. I have went to many amature bouts here in NY without even knowing who the fighters were.
How do u figure? A fan is SOMEONE who supports thier favorite athlete/team/player/etc. A fanbase is sort of like a movement of the fans that SUPPORT you. How can u dislike a particular athlete, and be considered part of his fanbase? It makes no sense.

I think people are getting this all wrong, There is a difference between a fan and a fanbase..
A fan is a supporter of a particular sport athlete... while a fanbase is support of an athlete whether you like them or not, Based on that Mayweather has a bigger fanbase than Cotto, Cotto has more fan but his fanbase hasnt reach a worldwide peak like Mayweather's has.

Can you imagine the arena (or stadium) when Cotto comes out against Floyd? Bonkers...
I think you'd be able to hear a collective orgasm from BoxingScene even with the volume turned down.
That would be a HUGE event in Puerto Rico.

Gee it seems impossible to quantify who has more fans. I don't consider myself a Floyd Mayweather fan but I respect him for his skills, Cotto I like to root for because he is not a braggart just does his thing and moves to the next fight.
Id guess Floyd is more popular or well known but Cotto probably has the bigger fan base.
