    o right right. But still, since the fight wouldnt be in NY anyway...

      Cotto is way to small to have a realy chance, and hatton is MUCH MUCH MUCH to small
      I think people agree with you about Haton but mostly everyone on here and in the media right now thinks that Cotto would kill him, e****ally at 147. I dont think so but most do

        It's not like Cotto isn't a top p4p fighter. Come on man, draw the line.
        I was indeed taking it to the extreme, but the point is sport should be sport not entertainment business. If Mayweather is better and more proven than Cotto, he should damn well be getting more money. Not quite crying for Mayweather cos he makes plenty of money (and because he seems to be a big advocate of the sport=business equation), but we can think of many examples, like Hop being almost unknown before fighting tito sticks out in my mind, or I am wiling to bet an arm that Casa never made money close to what he actually deserved, Cory Spinks would be in the same boat I imagine.

        For obvious reason this quality-income logic works better with team sports, where the team brings his own image, but as I said above sport should be sport.

          You know why?

          People bought that fight in hopes of Floyd being taken down a notch. That's why everyone was silent afterwards.

          Like groundhog day: Six More Weeks Of Winter.

          People thought the good guy would beat the bad guy nobody likes.

            Hell in my book he's more valuable to boxing by far.


            Why don't you get that disgrace of a fighter off your avatar? That ****er should be rotting in prison after shooting his pregnant girlfriend.

                    Cotto has yet to see someone like Mosley. He's in for a rude awakening. My mind and money is ony Shane.

                      You just demonstrated that you don't have a basic understanding of business.
