According to the paper, Cotto's pay-per-view with Shane Mosley generated a buyrate near 360,000, a far number from Mayweather-De La Hoya, which generated well over over 2 million buys.

"If thinks he has a chance to lose, he won't take a fight," Arum said. "He's afraid to lose, and that's a horrible, horrible thing. . . .'
I can understand that, but dodging serious contenders doesn't make you a great champion. P4P or no P4P, $ or no $.
Floyd Mayweather might be the best boxer NOW but not the best ever. People are learning that.
