Did Floyd Shaft Cotto Money-Wise?

here is another perspective... take two new fighters coming up they got a match on 2 july which fighter gets the bigger purse its the one with the belt or the one that ranks higher in the weight division...its usually both.... so why not let Cotto ball out of control like Floyd? let's face it a lot of Cotto's past opponents have rock solid fan bases Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, ..... they have countries supporting them You probably meant Floyd. But Floyd also fought Mosley and Ortiz who had a very limited fan bases. Those two fighters were comming off big wins on their previous fights.

Cotto should have gotten 30/70 IMO, looks like he might be gettin less than 20% with the deal got.

Cotto took $13m from the Pac fight and he is bigger star now. Lets see what his final take is but if he don't take close to 20 mil then he has been done over.

There is nothing to figure out. Cotto would not had done a 8 million doallar payday with a piece of the PPV with anybody else. TR wanted him to fight Pac in another catchweight and signing one more fight after the Pac fight. Signing with TR means at the end you get less. Cotto being a free agent meant that he kept the majority of the money without the massive overhead of TR promotions. Manny gets big amounts of money with all the endorsements deals he has. Name another fighter that Cotto in one fight would had gotten such a deal without a contractual obigation ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Cotto was willing to sign for the significantly smaller purse albeit it is a lot of money .... and Cotto probably does not care as much as mayweather or pacman about the big purse...i mean the man is happy sharing a bed with his buddy Pacquiao is used to getting the lion's share why should he take less than Mayweather a big reason why this fight happened is Cottos willingness to take the first deal Mayweather offered Pac is a bigger star and has a longer winning streak than Cotto ... we gotta figure this out yall There is nothing to figure out.

Mayweather is the draw, even though Cotto is a draw in his own right this fight did the numbers it did (they will be huge) because its Floyd Mayweather. Cotto made his highest ever purse and he will be happy with it

quick question whats cottos highers ppv he headlined??? manny fight not included???has he ever done a million buys??or even close? idk you tell me

After my research and discussion here... I'm starting to feel the Cotto deserves almost if not as much as Mayweather gets.... Cotto put up a great fight The Cotto Fanbase played a key role in the PPV buys and Cotto had the belt quick question whats cottos highers ppv he headlined??? manny fight not included???has he ever done a million buys??or even close?

I think Cotto got like 8 plus a cut of the ppv. I mean whatever, if Cotto thought he could get more, why didn't he? I'm sure Floyd put up all the money or most of it to cover the promotions and probably guided Cotto in how to promote fights for the future. 8-15 Mill is a damn good payday. It doesn't look fair on paper but Floyd has been earning those huge paydays for a while so he isn't going to take a 50-50 split with anyone at this stage. Now the Pac fight should be closer in terms of split but Floyd will never go for a 50-50. It is becoming apparent that Arum is taking a majority of Pac's money, if Pac got rid of Arum, I could see a 40-60 split.

I dont hear Cotto complaining at all

After my research and discussion here... I'm starting to feel the Cotto deserves almost if not as much as Mayweather gets.... Cotto put up a great fight The Cotto Fanbase played a key role in the PPV buys and Cotto had the belt Some bought because they're Cotto fans, some because they're Floyd fans, and some because they hate Floyd and want him to lose. That's Floyd drawing them in, regardless of their reason for watching. Cotto should make about 15 million dollars when all is said and done.

Hey brother, great thread... I agree Cotto deserves more. Don't you think its crazy that he's getting the MOST he's ever gotten in a fight (while still deserving more) once he left his former promotional company? That's the crazy part.

That's before the PPV upside. He's going to make substanially more, like Mayweather will. After my research and discussion here...

Last i heard it was 8 guaranteed with an upside.

Timeout Timeout Timeout If Mayweather fanbase is solely in the US and Cotto has a huge following in the US, Puerto Rico, Cuba, New York and Dominican Republican, and the Fight was on Cinco De Mayo... How in the Hell? Does Cotto get less than 50 percent of revenue???? Please tell me ... I dont wanna hear "o floyds the bigger draw" just cuz you say it louder than everyone else doesn't make you right true. Of the fans who went to the fight, at LEAST 85% were pro Cotto, so I would say he deserves 85% of the gate. At least.

Where exactly, are you getting your misguided information?????? go find a hardcore Mayweather fan in New Zealand or Antartica!!! you can't do it you won't do it and you can't do it

Where exactly, are you getting your misguided information?????? ok so you think there is one person in Africa or China paying 70 bucks to watch a rich athlete box another semi rich athlete???
