    Moneywise = FM-DLH II makes sense

    but it doesn't for the fans or boxing...floyd fight Cotto already

      There is a big difference between the rematch and the first fight. On the first fight there was one superstar fighting, now there are two superstar fighting. After last year, floyd has achieved that status, and even if it nos sells the same as the first, is going to get a lot of money anyway. Remember that a lot of people that are saying that no way they would buy the rematch, they will after all the promotion and the hype generated before the fight. Its impossible to no get hyped up before a really big fight. So floyd move on fighting Oscar makes a lot of sense, cos if he wins then great for him, he will win a lot of money, stay undefeated, stay a superstar and then he can fight cotto, or williams, etc...If he loses, then the trilogy will come and even more money xD. So with this fight floyd has a lot to win and very little to lose. Also by fighting DLH again, his superstar status will grow even more, so its a very intelligent fight to take.
      Now, of course all people want floyd to fight the best of the welter, but he still has time to do that, and im sure he will.

      Well, that imo, and if its a good move or bad for boxing i dont know, but at least having another mega fight this year will continue to be somthing good for boxing.
      Ummm
      I was thinking the same thing

        Isn't this the same thing Floyd did last year? Didn't he say the only fight he would fight last year was DLH and then couldn't help himself when the Hatton money presented itself? I think everyone wants a payday with DLH-FM II and get the hype going for a fight against Cotto. If Floyd fans are lucky, he might do some dancing in between the two fights.

          The richest fight, HELL YES.

          The best fight, HELL NO.




          I'd really love to be wrong about this, but FM-DLH II still does more PPV buys than a Cotto fight. I hope your guess is accurate because it would be a major disappointment to all involved.

          not as many people are gonna order it, maybe half will if that, bt half is still a lot of money so...

          I'm not really sure what you are disagreeing about. If half the people who ordered the first fight order this one, it will mean 1.2 million PPV buys in the US. That's a lot more than the Hatton fight brought and likely more than a Cotto fight will bring. Like I said before, I hope this fight flops like a fish.

            Like I said it would DEFINITELY sell more than a Floyd/Cotto fight right now. That being said I rather be watching Floyd/Cotto but it is what it is "if it don't make money...."

              Same here, but to be honest with you there are a lot of fans, Oscar is a huge name, Floyd is becoming one, I bet you more than half of the poster who are saying they wont watch it or pay for it, eventually will. Casual fans will pay anyway, I'm ready to bet anything this one does over 1.2 million buys

                  Why would you hope a fight flops. If this fight were to flop everyone would be screaming that boxing is actually dying. Personally I don't care because I am not getting any of that money I just don't want to hear that bull****

                    I think 1.2 buys would make a good over/under line for this match.
