Is Miguel Cotto's Fanbase bigger than Floyd's?

[The Allmighty]

Gee it seems impossible to quantify who has more fans. I don't consider myself a Floyd Mayweather fan but I respect him for his skills, Cotto I like to root for because he is not a braggart just does his thing and moves to the next fight.

Id guess Floyd is more popular or well known but Cotto probably has the bigger fan base.

I think people are getting this all wrong, There is a difference between a fan and a fanbase..

A fan is a supporter of a particular sport athlete... while a fanbase is support of an athlete whether you like them or not, Based on that Mayweather has a bigger fanbase than Cotto, Cotto has more fan but his fanbase hasnt reach a worldwide peak like Mayweather's has.

Can you imagine the arena (or stadium) when Cotto comes out against Floyd? Bonkers...

I think you'd be able to hear a collective ****** from BoxingScene even with the volume turned down.

That would be a HUGE event in Puerto Rico.

How do u figure? A fan is SOMEONE who supports thier favorite athlete/team/player/etc. A fanbase is sort of like a movement of the fans that SUPPORT you. How can u dislike a particular athlete, and be considered part of his fanbase? It makes no sense.

If you buy a ppv go to the event just to see him lose your part of his fanbase

You're wrong. I can just be a fan of the sport itself, and not a fan of any particular fighter. I have went to many amature bouts here in NY without even knowing who the fighters were.

Floyd Fans is not based soley Popularity...

his Fans is based on Him being Notorious and Popular

Floyd is probably the only fighter right now I can think of THAT
has Fans who buys his fights THAT love HIM and HATE him...

But all in all they are still His Fans....
Because they are there to see him fight..
Some are there to see him lose, and some are there too see him win..

That's Floyd's Fan Base


It's Like Ali once said Before he Fought Liston

"100% percent of the people there are there to see me, But 99% of them are there too see me Lose..."

Notorious

Way to put spin on something you clearly can't spin...

I watch Floyds fights to see him lose...

There is nothing fan like about it...

A fan supports and backs his choice of team, fighter or whatever...

That doesn't make me a fan of his in any way...

Was I a fan of Hatton when he fought Mayweather? No...

I simply watched in hopes Mayweather would lose...

At no point did I cheer for him...

Amen...

The end...

LoL, just got back to this thread. Forgot I posted it, LoL. Um, someone mentioned, so what's a fanbase. I was thinking, a fanbase, are people that want to see you fight, like the way you fight, and have become a fan because of the way you fight. So while I think Floyd has people that are paying to see him lose against his marquee opponent, I think Cotto has actual FANs that like to see him fight because they like him as a fighter.

Exactly...

Fans take to a team, person or fighter because they LIKE the individual...

They want to see them do well and suceed at what it is they do...

So me watching a Floyd fight and hoping lightning comes out of the sky and hits him in his mouth doesn't seem very fan like to me...

Sometimes its best to just shut the **** up Horus and take being wrong like a man...

Dude sounded like a lobbyist for a new dictionary for a minute...
