This hypocrisy is ****ing ridiculous

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Cotto would definitly be a draw but I don't know how big of a draw. I don't think many matchmakers really think Cotto has a chance in beating Mayweather so therefore I don't know what type of hype it would generate.

I don't see anyone beating Mayweather or even giving him a good fight. Hatton was intriguing because he is so relentless but we saw what happens when you take too many chances against Mayweather.

Call me crazy but outside of a DLH rematch, I don't see anything really big out there for mayweather. Cotto would lose as will Margarito, maybe a Paul Williams but I don't know if mayweather's camp would give him that fight until he goes through Cotto.

They mean to tell me that Floyd was the draw for the Arturo Gatti fight? Thats why they did 350K? ****OUTTAHERE

yep!!!!!!

[VIVA MEXICO!!!]

cotto would draw the puerto ricans and margarito would draw the mexicans.

[THE REAL NINJA]

Ricky Hatton draws a very very good live gate prob one of the best so it only makes sence that a PPV would out draw a lot of the others.

Not that Cotto is not a draw but i bet Hatton is still a bigger one.

incredible, just incredible the amount of back peddling and excuses the Floyd stans are making. when the announcement was made that Floyd was gonna fight Hatton, people were asking, "Why not Cotto or williams? Cotto is a bigger draw than Hatton. Williams is bigger threat than Hatton." And what were the reasons?

Floyd Stan #1: Hatton has a huge following in the US and he is a bigger Draw than Cotto or Williams
Floyd Stan #2: This make more financial sense because Hatton is more known in the US than anyone else out there to fight Floyd.
Floyd Stan #2: This is gonna do more than DLH/Mayweather because Floyd is a mega superstar and a bigger draw than DLH or Anyone in the WORLD.

Now that the fight has done only 850,000 the excuses are POURING IN. Hatton was never a draw to begin with. Mayweather's fanbase doesnt have the financial means to purchase PPV or go to support at the venue BLAH BLAH ****ING BLAH. Lets look at some facts.

DLH/Mayweather did 2.5 Million. That means that 600,000 people who tuned in to watch that fight, didnt care to watch this fight.

The fight did more buys in the UK than it did in the US. 900,000. Floyd stans are saying that the buys in the US were ALL Floyd. Would it then be fair to say that the buys in the UK were all Hatton? Well, doesnt that mean that Hatton is a bigger draw in the world of boxing than Mayweather at this point? Lets see. The majority of people who bought tickets to the event were Hatton supporters, the majority of people who bought PPV were Hatton supporters? What does that mean? Let the copping of the pleas begin.

hmm everyone was hyping hatton saying this was the one to give floyd a run for his money.

It was actually the opposite.. domintaed all rounds with counter punching.

And HATTON is a huge draw where he's from. People that are fans of hatton brought the fight all over the world.
I'm sorry but hatton is definitely more known in the world b4 this fight than cotto. do you doubt that?

Cotto should have some more fights WIN big..then im sure mayweather will fight him. Its just for money man.. jus for money.


Now if it was for the sport.. he would fight him next year.. but its not.

LOL.....get yo arse outta here...

agree,, the Stans are delusional

Before I start, I want to say that Floyd would defeat Cotto if they ever fought.

But this argument by Floyd and his stans that Cotto isn't a draw is down right disgusting.

Can someone please post any of Hatton's PPV numbers?
.

Anyone? Oh thats right, Hatton never fought a PPV event in the United States. So then why did Floyd fight Hatton. He obviously wasn't considered the top threat to Floyd at the time. It certainly wasn't the fact that Hatton's last fight in the US was nearly sold out because Floyd doesn't fight someone because of their gate numbers? Did Floyd choose to fight Hatton because of his HBO fight ratings? Why?

Yes, Cotto/Mosley did 350 K buys. Mayweather/Hatton did 1.5 Mill but according to Floyd and his stans here on this site, that 1.5 was ALL FLOYD. So then what is the problem? If its ALL Floyd, then he should have NO problem getting that 1.5 against Cotto. A Floyd stan already posted that Cotto would do those numbers with De La Hoya but NOW, according to yall, Floyd is a bigger draw than De La Hoya so then by your logic, Cotto/Mayweather would do alot more. Floyd is the draw right?

Floyd packed the venue with his fans during the press conference right? Hatton was the one being booed right?

Floyd packed the press conferences with his fans that night right? Hatton was the one being booed right?

It was his hometown in his own country and yet, Floyd was getting booed? That doesnt sound like the star power that is eclipsing De La Hoya who has always been supported by the American public.

So here we are. Floyd won't fight Cotto because theres no money in it? Ha, ok. Cotto isn't a draw? Ha, ok. You guys can keep believing everything Floyd spits out of his mouth. But this hypocrisy is down right ridiculous.

Floyd doesn't need Cotto. Much the same way Ricky Hatton doesn't need Witter. Maybe if i put it in the white man's prespective you can see.

[Sin City]

Mayweather did in the states what De La Hoya did with someone only hardcore boxing fans know in Mayorga.


But Mayweather fans are hypocrites when they are quick to point out who ducked Mayweather but then when you show them the facts about Floyd ducking Miguelito they make lame excuses like people usually do when they try to justify someone ducking someone else.. only its alright when they do it and its fact but it isnt when others?? ****ing lames.

Bring on Mayweather Cotto already!

[Allucard]

Williams was booed to Hell vs Margarito in ****ing California :S wake up!
Cotto is what 30-0? Hatton was 43-0 a much bigger record. Cotto is hardly known in new york and between 2 unknowns people will always go for the 43-0 one. Compute?
