    well maybe is because (for you mayweather was god before he fought oscar) he was making numbers from 300,000 to 400,000 because he's been a champion since 1998 cotto has been in the map since 2004 no matter how u want to interpreter FLOYD GOT RECOGNIZED IN HIS FIGHT WITH DE LA HOYA.

      No I do not. My argument was never about Floyd and his ability to draw. It was about Cotto and his ability or lack thereof. My statements from the beginning were that Cotto was not a huge PPV draw.

      Mayweather is now, regardless of who he had to fight to get there. He is a household name now, and that makes a big difference.


      Oscar is a household name.



      Cotto is not a household name. Everyone does not know who he is or what he has accomplished to make him worthy of any fight.\



      My original post stated this;



      "Floyd and Arum have been at odds for years now. Floyd does not want to work with Arum, and understandably.

      However, I am certain Floyd is not afraid of Cotto. Floyd would beat Cotto.

      I'd like to see him take this fight, though. Just to silence the usual jeerers. I believe they will fight, if the price is right. Cotto is certainly not a huge draw right now."



      It was not about Mayweather and his ability to draw. It was about Cotto and his inability to do so.

                  You have a hard time comprehending. That's not my point. Mayweather is recognized the world over as both the proven better fighter than Cotto and as a much bigger ppv attraction. There's nothing to stimulate Mayweather for this fight; nothing besides fans demanding it. It does nothing for his legacy and nothing for his bank account. DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?
