    I'd rather see this then Mayweather De La Hoya 2.

    I hope De La Hoya backs out, fights Pacquiao and then Mayweather fights Cotto. Yeah...there we go.

          Also, DLH is not ******. He has not much to gain beating Pacquiao but will only get flames for fighting someone two full weight classes south of his.

            lol mayweather vs delahoya is the fight that destroyed boxing it didnt live to the hype.

            thats why the rematch will only get 800 ppv buys max no where near the 2.4 million it did.

                I think Mayweather/Cotto will do pretty damn well.

                  I think thats the problem, people overestimate the kind of draw that cotto is. His fights do about 300,000 id say, Tito Trinidad is still a bigger draw than him out of Puerto Rico because Trinidad brings that visible passion of the country. Even a 24/7 cant really increase that, because Cotto is not really a person that gains peoples interest.

                    Perhaps more English or trash talk from Cotto might change that. A 24/7 with Cotto will be have to be translated and with translation, some things get lost.

                      300,000 ppv buys are good numbers.
                      that shows he is steady, floyd jr used to bring in 325-350k before oscar. Its all about the right timing and marketing and floyd jr was able to make himself a villian and people tuned in.

                      but I agree cotto doesnt really gain interest he is just a simple guy no anger, no comedy just plain.

                      but he is a great fighter though.
