DLH pricing Mosley out of Cotto fight?

[PRboxingfan]

Also, remember that the Mosley-Vargas PPVs were what they were because of the Mexican audience. Black people aren't interested in Mosley while Mexicans are interested in Vargas/Margarito. Same with PR fans and Cotto. That's why Cotto brings in more $$$ on PPVs than Mosley.

If theres one fight that makes sense in boxing its Mayweather/Mosley. The winner of Cotto/Margarito should fight the winner of that fight. Its that simple.

I completely agree. I hope that it the way things turn out.

dog, thats not even disputable. shane is NOT a bigger draw than cotto.

si tu te tiras al medio, no tengo miedo, no hay retroseso - lo que hay es FUEGO FUEGO!

this potential fight would be abuse, cotto should JUST be thinking about ONE mexican in the WW division.

a mosley / cotto fight would be hard for me to watch. he bitches delahoya too, oh yeah, believe that **** ladies! you'll see JCC ringside with a cotto tee on and chugging his N'th beer while cotto stands over odlh's prostate body.

The question was for the pro Shane fans that seemed to come out of nowhere. Im just wandering what would Miguelito have to do to earn their respect and consider him a big draw in boxing

If mosely wants the fight to happen, and cotto wants the fight to happen, then the fight WILL HAPPEN, regardless of how much DLH and Arum don't like each other.


Should Cotto beat the winner of margarito vs williams, I'd say cotto vs mosely is in the bag.

yeah, the ****en anti-cotto sentiment has me scratchin' my balls too ... weird.

[satori555]

You guys are talking like hard core boxing fans. The fact is if you walk down a normal street with just black & white people then it wont even be close between the amount of people who know Shane vs the amount of people who know Cotto. The Cotto fight was a local fight. It was in NY on the PR parade vs a popular kid from BK. If you deny that then your foolish. Let him go fight somewhere else and lets see how many tickets he sells. I also would be very interested in seeing what the PPV sales are.

Someone also said that Mosley wasnt rated higher and most dont have him in the top 10 where they now do have Cotto. What P4P list where you looking at? Even on here, Mosley is on nearly everyone's P4P list while Cotto isnt. The fact is that Cotto is good but he still hasnt faced 1 "it" fighter yet. The closest guy was Zab but we all know he is a 4 round fighter who loses focus, hasnt won in 2 years, and was basically just suspended for a year. Im not taking nothing away from him but you guys are still slightly overhyping this kid. I think anyone of the top WW's give him hell and I would pick nearly every guy over him. I would definatly pick Floyd, Shane, Margarito, and Clottey over him. I also think Baldy, Cintron, and Williams could possibly give him a ton of trouble. He hasnt faced 1 guy on that level yet

no one with anythin to lose wants to fight shane.. mosley is the man at 147 if u ask me..

[freedom213]

Look guys, I hate Oscar just as much as you but take off your Cotto blinders for a second. Mosley is the higher rated fighter and has done way more then Cotto. Cotto hasnt done anything at 147 except for beat a Zab who hasnt won in 2 years, Urkal, and a Quintana who only got hype for beating a overrated Julio. Meanwhile Shane has 5 great wins in a row including his last 3 of beating Vargas, Knocking Vargas out, and then beating a Callazo who a ton of people had beating Hatton.

Mosley is the highest rated fighter in the division and he has the overall bigger name. You cant deny that the Zab fight was a local fight and thats why it was so big. They still may not have done great PPV numbers. Mosley has fought Winky twice, Oscar twice, Vargas twice, a prime Forrest twice, and Callazo. Those are huge names and he deserves more money. Maybe not alot but more. They'll probally try to fight next year at the PR parade but Shane might be done by then

I have to agree here that Mosley is the more accomplished fighter and more of a draw than Cotto. 60/40 would be fair because I think this is another bigger than life opportunity for Cotto to assume another step up on the boxing ladder of fame.
