remember.. this is to the CASUAL fan...

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

To both, i just can't see how anyone would want to see Mayweather/Oscar two. The first fight was trash and nothing more than hype. Cotto/Mayweather would be the far better and more even fight. To be honest, the build up to Mayweather/De La Hoya was the best part about it.

:Ps: Your profile is private so i couldn't reply to your question. That parody poster is the one that made the sig. He knows all about the colors and detail.

dlh/pbf = more buys
but the real fans will want to see cotto/pbf more.

Even the casual fans were quite dissapointed with Floyd/Oscar I. Promoted right, Floyd/Cotto can do big numbers.

EXACTLY

PBF/DLH = MORE MONEY = BIGGER DRAW
PBF/COTTO = DIE HARD FANS WANT - LESSER DRAW

I think since so many people were dissapointed about the first DLH v. Mayweather fight the Cotto one would do more.

You have both who are undefeated..
Both coming off of career high wins.
You have a fighters fighter fighting a boxing technician.
You have a fight that has been hyped and brewing for months that
every boxing fanatic wants to see.
You have Miguel Cotto who has a very large Latin fan base both in the U.S.A.
and the Carribean.
You have Mayweather who is now a semi-household name do the DLH fight and then not so much but still Ricky Hatton.

If they market this fight like the Hatton v. Mayweather or DLH v. Mayweather
I believe it does better numbers.

The casual fans will remember how the first DLH v Mayweather didn't live up to the hype and won't buy it.. This is something new and exciting.
All you have to do is play the Ricky Hatton KO over and over and Miguel Cotto destroying practically everybody they put in front of him and it will be sold!

Bigger draw.....Mayweather/De La Hoya II or Mayweather/Cotto?????
