If Canelo beats Lara..Cotto-Canelo for the MW title would be HUGE!!!!

I agree. If this fight happens I will bet a large amount on Canelo to win. And you would lose a lot of money. Cotto's skillset >>> Canelo's by faaarrrr!!!

Its funny because Cotto, fought no one at MW prior to Martinez. Then Canelo, cant even fight at the 154 limit because "no title" then he'll of fought no one at MW prior to fighting for the MW lineage.

I don't think Cotto will fight Lara but Cotto will either fight Canelo or Mayweather next

It would be big for sure. Muse see TV.

Could be up there with Oscar vs Tito type of hype.

No it doesn't. Cotto is a huge draw and Canelo if he beats Lara would have people right on the bandwagon and it would be for the lineal middleweight championship. It would do over a million buys and I'd bet every point on this website that it would. where are teh numbers for cotto - martinez ppv? if he's a "huge draw," and sold a ton of PPV, they'd at least release some preliminary numbers. floyd mayweather's last fight probably didnt' even crack a million. the numbers are so bad they're trying to brush them under the rug. you guys seriously overestimate the power of boxing matches to get casuals to pony up $70 dollars for one boxing card.

Don't see why though especially If Maidana vs Mayweather had numbers of what 600-700k? Cotto vs Canelo are the two biggest Mexican and Puerto Rican boxing stars about If they sell it right you could be wrong with your prediction... If you really want to pay for a borefest PPV like Mayweather well I guess that is other peoples choices bad one at that. sell it right? you mean dump a ton of money into the promotion, the way they did with canelo - mayweather? canelo - mayweather also got a huge push from CBS. that won't happen, as they know they won't do those kind of numbers. you can lose money if you do that and the ppv flops. they'll bank on being able to sell a good amount of ppv and have both sides taking a relatively low guarantee. the selling point is the nationality of the fighters, and you really don't have to spend much money to sell that to mexican and PR casuals.

jesus christ you people are deluded about the finances of boxing. de la hoya and trinidad sold 1.4 million, and this was when you couldn't find an HD quality stream on your computer. i don't know if you guys were watching boxing, or even alive at the time, but that fight was f#Cking HUGE.

This would be great. I can see their being another catch weight, however. Maybe at like 157 or 158

Why do Larry's threads always get 5-odd pages of responses? They're all really trite and unimaginative

Sounds about right. @ 42 million dollars in total revenue, it would be a huge success.

600K ppv buys @ $70 a pop. cha ching. Sounds about right.

I think you are under estimating just how big canelo is. I agree 1.5-2 mill is crazy, but I think 1.25 mill is a strong possibility. really? he did 350 K against angulo. that's according to showtime and GBP, mind you, not an objective source. it could very well be less than that.

Can easily see it reaching the 1.5-2 million mark in USA. They better cash out GGG doeeeeee!!!! jesus christ you people are deluded about the finances of boxing. de la hoya and trinidad sold 1.4 million, and this was when you couldn't find an HD quality stream on your computer. i don't know if you guys were watching boxing, or even alive at the time, but that fight was f#Cking HUGE.

600k?! Haha yeah right canelo did 400 with Angulo. If canelo wins convincingly this fight does a million with ease I'm predicting 1.25 mil buys. it did 350K, and that's according to showtime and goldenboy. it was also a $60 dollar HD broadcast. 1.25 million, lol. you're f#cking nuts.

Canelo needs to fight 3G n stop effin around with trying to fight Cotto. He needs to grow some balls n stp up

600K ppv buys @ $70 a pop. cha ching. 600k?! Haha yeah right canelo did 400 with Angulo. If canelo wins convincingly this fight does a million with ease I'm predicting 1.25 mil buys.

You mean Jose Cotto vs Canelo? Jose will be looking to finish Canelo off this time. Lmao, Canelo is adding the other Cotto to his resume If he beats Lara but still beating Erislandy Lara is a better win than beating Miguel Cotto have to be honest.
