      Floyd Mayweather, Although he is making his name more recognisable.. Doesn't mean he is making Fans. His "Fans" are limited to hardcore Boxing Fans..

      Again.. Hatton Is a Celebrity in the UK...

      My question is.. What is Floyds Biggest Fight.. PPV wise.. that wasn't against DLH or Hatton???

      I am asking becasue I dont know.. But I suspect it more resembles hardcore Fan Numbers.. as Opposed to Casual Celebrity Fan numbers...
      I agree...

      so it really comes down to who is floyd facing?

      who and how much will his opponent bring in

      cotto vs oscar?


      id take oscar 7 days a week and twice on sunday when it comes to a popularity and cashcow contest

          u remember all that! they prolly wanna see the fight again, they know it was close and that oscar should of won

          of course we all know the deal



          fact is oscar outsells cotto 10 to 1
          I'm a De La Hoya fan and even I thought he lost..
          I only know one person in real life who thought he won.

                Mayweather/De La Hoya I was a lackluster fight that didn't live up to the hype...it was a waste of money IMO...The real fans don't want to see Floyd fight an old washed up Drag Queen again.

                Thats exactly what i mean. There was no excitement, plus we already know what to expect. Mayweather and De La Hoya will again try to hype of the fight by pretending to hate each other. It was cool when they did it the first because we all fell into it. The De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7 series was great and all, but sometimes people just need to leave things alone because the rematch will just ruin it.

                Mayweather vs Cotto brings to the table.....

                2 unbeaten fighters
                Two pound for pound champions
                An even 50/50 match
                Excitement
                The best fight and draw in boxing
                A career defining fight for both fighters
                Mega payday for both fighters

                This would be boxing at its best. Just who is their right mind would prefer De La Hoya II over Mayweather/Cotto?

                  Boxing ain't a sport anymore, it's a business.

                  Carry on.

                      cotto mayweather is more important to the forum...

                      but de la hoya mayweather is known to more people


                      I think a lot of people will vote for cotto floyd because they want that fight.. but not realizing that the casual fans are what make up most of the revenue for fights...

                      and the casual fan knows oscar 45x more than cotto

                      FOOL, i know LOTS of Casual FANS WHO ORDERED "THE WORLD AWAITS"

                      TRUST ME..

                      the CASUAL fan aint fallin for that CRAP AGAIN!!
