Cotto is NOT Know yet, HE is still a NEW YORK Local..!

[Horus]

Well i think In the U'K the P.P.V sold about 1.4 PPV's So i think maybe hatton had alittle bit to do with that...

Of Course Floyd was the main Reason but U do have to give Hatton some credit...for that..

And in the U.s They sold 850,000 PPV at $59.95

and once again you have to give hatton alittle piece of credit for that..

No doubt Floyd was the draw in both Nations but hatton did do his fair share of being a marketable fighter...

The numbers Prove my Arguement..!!

Miguel Cotto on the other hand....


Is still a Local Fighter...

THREAD CLOSED

[MetalVomit]

Foolish thread.

[Horus]

Foolish thread.

Whats your argument for it being Foolish..???

[Sin City]

You keep saying i said that but were is your Proof..??

go find the post where i said "Paul Williams would walk through the whole welterweight division"

Ur lying on me for no reason... @De√ious

"everyone who likes boxing"

- Do i really need to go into that statment to prove my point about cotto being a local fighter

@ These **** NlggA's

Even after the Ricky Hatton fight and De La Hoya fight tons of people still do not know who he is here in vegas.. They are like Mayweather who?

And like I said.. It's practically impossible to find where you said it because of the high output of posts.. I don't have time to sit here and go through all 800 of them but you said it.. A bunch of people saw you say it too and now your trying to deny it.

Anyone that follows boxing, ANYONE that actually pays attention to the sport and what goes on month to month certainly knows of Miguel Cotto and his accomplishments. As long as he is fighting good opponents, no matter if it's in NY, Vegas, Puerto Rico, etc, he will be a draw.

Your a clown and now your trying to put words in my Mouth....

Go find where I said that....It should be easy if everybody saw it....

You cant find it because it is not there...

Just admit your lying on me for no reason to try and make a point...


"tons of people still do not know who he is here in vegas.. They are like Mayweather who?"

Who are these people..??

Because the week of the fight all that was on T.V in Vegas was Mayweather and Ricky Hatton and how the British invading the Strip

So unless these people dont watch T.V your just making **** up again..

You starting to become "Pathological Lier" Now on these Boards

[SkillspayBills]

It's true... it was a main event for WCB boxing.

I don't know...

What really bothers me about all of this, is... how much ****ing money does one person need? Floyd has well over 100 million I would think... so why is he ****ing around with his finances more? Is he really going to ****ing bankrupt himself?

Well I'll tell you, he lost a fan because of the De La Hoya rematch. I still like him, but I don't consider him one of my favorite fighters anymore.

Sad to hear. You of all people shold know you would do the sam thin if th need arises. People fail to understand this is a sporting BUSINESS. Emphasis on BUSINESS. I don't think there is one fighter who has never said the words " if the money is right, whoever pays the most, money, money, money" Something like that. Who would just leave 20+ million laying on the table when the guy is going to retire the same year? NOONE. The fight with Cotto will happen after this one, if not thanFloyd willlose his luster n my eyes as well.

If he is So much of a draw why hasnt he Been in any PPV over 350,000 ..?


* Cotto is not KnowN yet, he is still a Local...

I meaned this Dude is Still Fighting For Free ON HBO to build his exposure....And if your a draw already you shouldnt have to do that at this stage of your career...


It’s a reason why COTTO NEVER FIGHT OUT OF NEW YORK Recently...
And its not just the 8 oz. gloves Las Vegas Dont want him.....

Cotto fighting in New York which is Puerto Rican Central is going to sell because he is Puerto Rican...

Let's put Cotto in Vegas and let's see how many people go to the fight...

If many paciquo fight in the Phil. Every fight he would sell out Too,,, But Manny Paciquo is a Star now so he fights in Vegas and sells out


EveryOne Knows P.P.V is the real indicator of A boxers Success... Because you to have a REAL STAR appeal To people, to make people spend anywhere from $45-60 dollars
to see you fight from all across the nation Not just "New York" and "Puerto Rico"


Cotto is not a draw yet, because he is still a local fighter..

To add to that:

Put this now in Perspective:


Floyd can fight Cotto anytime for 20 Million while cotto is still young....

Cotto is only 27 he is not going nowhere
However, Oscar is going somewhere and that somewhere is gone after 2008 Oscar is threw....


Therefore, you would turn down a short time offer of 45-50 million Dollars with P.P.V and GATE money

For an Anytime Offer of 20 million Dollars with Cotto..??

Some of You acting like Floyd is 40 years old and this is his last fight before he really retires...he is only 30 years old...

In addition, he has a chance to be a big star like Oscar...
With another 50 million dollar fight with Oscar
In addition, follow up with
A 20 million fight with Cotto

Tell me that is not smart...

Why are you So called Boxing not being Logical and Selfish

This is A smart Move and it's good for Boxing..
Because it would make the build up for the Floyd/Cotto fight so much Better
because the wait and hunger for this fight will be so huge that it might do
1 million PPV

[Horus]

I see No Logical Arguments Proving Me Wrong...

I guess I win...
