I don't know who has a bigger fanbase, but Mayweather has proven to be a better PPV seller. PPVs generate more money than ticket sales.
Floyd's full of it anyway. I don't know why people take his comments seriously.
I take it as him just trying to hold out for more money.
Ive been a floyd fan since he fought Coralles,and Ive bought all of his PPV's...When I buy the PPV i know im not going to see a slugfest, but Im going to see Boxing (hit and dont get hit) and it's best.
It's bigger than the relatively modest fanbase-conventional of a Miguel Cotto.
That anti-fanbase works just as well for promoting and selling a fight at this stage as any fanbase-conventional would.
they think that if the people who dont like you personally, but they buy your fights and come to your fights.. are not the fighters fans..because they dont like him.
I watch all of Mayweather's fight on payperviewsat, I would never pay to watch Floyd fight. And I only watch to see him lose and those inflated Mayweather numbers are because he fought Delahoya and Hatton who brought in most of those numbers. How has Mayweather done against any other fighter not named Hatton or DHL? The same as Cotto.
WRONG.
Mayweather's lowest selling fight was against Baldomir...HIS LOWEST. 340K. And that is STILL higher than anything that Cotto has ever sold.
Floyd says he won't fight Cotto until Cotto has a bigger fanbase and can draw more money. Yet, I wonder, honestly, who really has the bigger fanbase? Floyd is known for sending people out of the stadium if he's not fighting a named opponent. How on earth could his be bigger than the rising star Cotto who can easily sellout MSG?
Just like I said.
Arum had nothing to do with nothing during this time
