Who has made more money Juan Manuel Marquez or Miguel Cotto?

I did some research Cotto made a little over $12 million for the Pacquiao fight, $3.6 million for the Magarito fight, $3.2 for the Mosley fight, and $2.9 million for the Judah and Foreman. And he is projected to make about 7 million for Margarito II. THAT IS SOME SERIOUS CASH!!!!!!!!!

Miguel has made a lot more money. Before JMM had the rematch with Pac he fought John for only 30,000 dollars. Since then he had the rematch with Pac(made a few million), Floyd(believe that was his most like 3million), and some other fights that he probably makes like 750,000 or so. Miguel made 3 million on Marg, 12 for Pac, not sure how much for Mosley but that was probably around the 3 million mark(did nearly the same amount of buys as Marg fight), and has a min 1 million a fight contract that he made for sure on Clottey and Judah(I think he made more because of the gate), Mayorga, Jennings, and Foreman. It really isn't that close. Miguel has made some major bank. Evidence says otherwise. Maybe Cotto is a bigger spender.

Kinda surprised that JMM is worth more.

JMM is worth more according to this. JMM 20 Million - http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/richest-boxers/juan-manuel-marquez/ Cotto 15 Million - http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/richest-boxers/miguel-cotto-net-worth/

fighters in higher weight classes usually make more than fighters in lower weight classes. Which sucks because fighters in lower weight divisions usually put on better shows.

You know, Cotto has been "raped" by Arum. For a top fighter he hasn't made any significant purse, even a lesser talented fighter like Hatton was able to get paid big time. He never came close to endearing himself to the PR fans and that cost him big time because of his marketability. WTF are you talking about, Cotto have made lost of great pursues including the Pac fight wich he ended up with 14 Mills after PPV and the guaranteed. and WTF,the hatton part was just silly, Hatton had 20K britts flying over the pond to see him fight, Hatton was a huge draw in England!!! Talent doesnt have anything to do with putting butts on seats wich = to more money!!!

no comp its cotto. cotto was an olympican and hightly thought of prospect so alot of money was thown at him to be the next champion by top rank. he was making 6 figure title defenses at 140 while marquez came through the rankings the hard way making peanuts for a long time.

you have to know how to manage it after it stops coming as well, course tyson went broke

cotto made 12 mil or summah in the pac fight so hes made more than 20mil afta the margarito fight hell make 5mil off there itll b lyk 30mil including all the prmos advertisments etc marquez unfortunatley will only make abt 15-17mil by the time he retires but thankfully after the pac fight hell get 6mil wich isnt bad for him and sum cash to go owt on.

Cotto has JMM crushed in this department.

FYI, Mike Tyson made more than both combined and he is broke. So did Bjorn Borg. How you can keep the $$ is more important.

fighters in higher weight classes usually make more than fighters in lower weight classes.

Cotto I would have thought and probably quite easily. JMM had big crowd competition with Morales and Barrera and Cotto has enjoyed a loyal following without much competition so I would imagine Cotto gets a better guarantee and upside of PPV's then JMM has ever enjoyed. I could be wrong, but thats my guess

I'd say Cotto, Marquez had a rough time shining having Barrera and Morales right there

Through out their entire career.
