I say its Marquez. And if Marquez is the bigger draw and Pac-Cotto did more ppv draws than pbf-jmm, then Pac should get the bigger cut over Mayweather.
what do you guys think? vote/discuss
Cotto............but JMM did pretty good in "numero uno"
beign started jumping on his bandwagon after lightweight fights...24/7 he was the star and they promoted the shit out of that fight...hes the last remaining mexican star and they fought on the weekend of the mexican independence
there was alot of things going for "numero uno"
cotto is the bigger draw but marquez has grown a way bigger following since his move to lightweight and plus it was on the weekend of mexican independence day...and add in that he stole the show on 24/7...no matter who he fought it was going to get good numbers marquez is just the man
if the fight was to happen at its original date they would have done less than 700 k
They both sucked at PPV numbers until they fought Pacquiao and Mayweather. In terms of fanbase, Marquez brought more. Cotto fans are cheap they don't buy his PPVs. Marquez has only been in 2 PPVs.
Marquez has been in 4 ppv's, 3 before mayweather. he was slated to be a ppv attraction when he signed with GBP but his bad luck followed him there.
Marquez vs Jaca- HBO PPV until jaca had visa problems, fight ended up on showtime
Marquez vs Juarez- HBO PPV until marquez got a hand infection, fight ended up on showtime.
so if all would have gone right, marquez should have been in 6 PPV's by now, as compared to cotto's 5 PPV's.
Am sure cotto fans are probably bigger in terms of how they support their main guy in cotto, JMM didnt get a lot of love until there wasnt really any mexican boxers left, People like Morales, Barrera and even castillo were alway in front of JMM who didnt get his dues until late in his career.
