60 mil? That's alot of green teeth.

Yes Hatton has a bigger fanbase. He has an entire country behind his back.

A small country compared to the U.S.A. California alone is bigger then England. Think about that.

Ok I didn't look at the statistics but I knew they were both in multiple millions.
But you get the picture.
That's 2 California's then. Now look at the Map and see how much more space is left of America. This is the entertainment capital. You can't become a hotshot champion around here and automatically become popular all over the place. That's exactly what Hatton is enjoying at his neck of the woods back at home.

It's about promotion over here. You have to have some kind of shtick besides being a good fighter. Floyd is promoting himself every day increasing his fame.
Popularity? Not so much but fame yes.

If Delahoya is the only reason why May5th did so well then why did that fight do more PPV numbers then Delahoya/Trinidad? Which is Puerto Rico vs Mexico, two prime undefeated champions. That fight was big but Floyd/Delahoya was bigger because of Floyd Mayweather and his fame and ability to promote himself and the fight he is in.

Cotto had a promoted fight on HBO with Abdullaev. OK. It did good gate at MSG. It was PR parade.

Cotto had a poorly-promoted PPV with Malignaggi. It did about 100K. Not his fault. It had good gate at MSG.

Cotto had a well-promoted co-feature with Margarito on Showtime.

Cotto has a VERY well-promoted card with a known name. Zab Judah. At MSG. PR Day parade. Great gate. Sold out. But the PPV nums were ****ty. A definite disappointment. Completely Miguel's fault.

What has Miguel ever done done to increase his visibility or promote his fights? He is a ****in monotone. A robot. A cyborg. If he wants to make money, he needs to cut out the Ivan Drago bull****.

MIGUEL FIGHTS,HE'S A FIGHTER NOT A PRICK.ROY JONES HAS ALWAYS TALKED TONS OF **** HAS HE EVER BENN A PPV STAR NO.OSCAR IS A TOTAL VAGINA, HAS HE BEEN A BIG PPV BOXING STAR,THE BIGGEST.HE'S PUERTO RICAN ,NOT AN AMERICAN FROM THE MAIN LAND.THERE ARE 8 MILL PUERTO RICANS ON THE ISLAND AND IN THE STATES,THERE ARE ABOUT 25 MILLION MEXICANS IN THE STATES ALONE,AND ABOUT 45 MILLION AFRICAN AMERICANS,YOU'RE TRYING TO COMPARE MIGUEL WITH FLOYD AND OSCAR AND IT'S NO CONTEST BASED ON STATISTICS.
