    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.
    Oh hes definately a good fighter. Ya i know theyre not bad numbers, but i was responding to the statement that him and Floyd could probably match a rematch between Floyd and Oscar number wise. Cotto will get his shot Im sure, but a win over Oscar again for Floyd (which im not sure is guaranteed), and Cotto getting another belt or so makes Cotto-Mayweather bigger down the line, which I believe is the only reason why this fight isnt happening right now.

      Mayweather-DLH 2 is going to break 1 mil. And Mayweather-Cotto, if it happens after Mayweather-DLH 2, will probably break 1 mil buys also.

        ya cotto vs floyd will probally do 600lk which is big numbers for ppv but not astronomical like oscar vs floyd jr or hatton vs floyd jr which was like 850k domestic.

        I think cotto would be a hard sell yes he can speak english now but the guy is just boring lol.

        While tito trinidad is fun loving, energetic and smiling all the time he is the golden boy of PR.

        Didnt Oscar vs mayorga do like 900,000 ppv buys?

        that was pretty amazing compared to oscar vs sturm with bernard hopkins on the under card which only did 400,000 ppv buys i think.

          ya but i think thats because Mayorga is a legitimate draw by himself. Him and Floyd would do HUGE numbers. Mayorga is the type of guy that everybody just wants to see fight.

            Cotto-Judah did about 200,000 buys. Cotto-Mosley did something around 350,000 buys. Cotto-Margarito/Cintron will probably do in the 300,000 range. If Floyd does anywhere near 1.5 mil with DLH, which is a possibility, and Cotto keeps active Mayweather-Cotto will do much better than 600,000 buys. It might do 500,000 or 600,000 buys if it happened this summer/fall, but by spring/summer 2009 it will do 1 mil buys.

              LMAO oh ****! Floyd jr vs Mayorga would be crazy! imagine a 24/7 with those two guys? finally a guy who can talk some serious **** talking back to floyd jr...and mayorga still has it in him after his fight with vargas he seems to be taking his fights serious now.

              he would def be a thread at 147 it would entertaining mayorga fighting floyd jr.
