For those who say "Floyd wont fight Cotto due to hatred for Arum"

[warp1432]

NO WAY would Mayweather ever let Cotto/Mayweather be at MSG.

Unless they agreed to use 10 oz, but still. No way.

I never said it didnt happen, i just said that i have never seen anything from Floyd stating that he wont fight Cotto due to hatred for Arum.

Deevel,

Are your calves burning from backpedaling this much?? You got severely owned.

You are not on skil's level.

It also doesn't make ECONOMIC sense.

I asked him to show me a quote from Floyd or Ellerbe saying that Floyd wont fight Cotto due to hatred for Arum. Im still waiting.

Ok, and u dont think that a cotto/floyd matchup can "quell the hatred" between the two? Floyd/Cotto at MSG would be HUGE.

It would be Huge for us fans not for mainstream media. Cotto sold less than 400k ( I am almost positive it was near the lower 300k mark) and is generally not known. Hatton has an entire country behing him, 10s of Millions of people who are willing to pay and travel to see him fight. Floyd/Cotto RIGHT NOW wouldn't come near the sales of Hatton/Mayweather just because Cotto, contrary to popular belief, is NOT a ppv commodity. This is why I think we should be patient and wait until next year. Cotto's stock is only rising. He is going to face more good fighters and gain more fans and by this time next year the fight will be worth BIG BUCKS, much bigger than they will be worth if it happened early next year.

Cotto would draw more at MSG, than Floyd would at MGM.

first cotto its not on floyd level
then cotto is not big enough of a draw
now he cant stand bob arum
enough excuses mayweather is full of fear i dont know how ppl can defend him and agree with the fact that he is not gonna fight cotto

Question for skils:
Name another fighter at 140-147 who makes more 'econimic' success then Cotto?

If Floyd is only looking for fighters with the type of following/drawing power that Hatton and Oscar has, then he might as well retire after this fight.

Dude,

Cotto would MAYBE fill up MSG. The Cotto-Mosley fight was NOT sold out. Floyd would fill up MGM. The ticket prices at MGM would be higher, AND they would get a casino site fee.

There would be greater revenues from a Vegas fight than from a MSG fight.
