    and that would win him more PPV buys? even with the crowd booing and leaving on television?

      key words wen u bein showcased...cuz tha general public (not fans of tha sport) thought tha dlh pbf fight was a robbery/ draw even, dlh gotta bigger fanbase in that fight (honestly) than mayweather, cuz he was tha showcase fighter he lost a LIL marketability, but if mayweather tha showcase fighter (which he would mos def be) an he runnin tha whole fight an actually gettin worked on, AND if people start walkin out an start changin tha ppv channel, then yea of coarse that gon hurt his marketability, but if he gettin worked in tha ring why would people change channel/walk out? wouldnt they stay in fear of tha showcase boxer losin? a upset? dlh was losin in tha mayweather fight an people aint walk out/change tha channel, they kept watchin, so iont know how this gon hurt his marketability to tha general public if it look like a close fight, esspecially cuz he would be bein tested an he would come out on top in tha end...iont man its hard to exp[lain why iont tihnk thatd hurt his maketability...i said it best i could

        Unless Margarito beats Cotto the fight didn't need to happen. You put Margarito in Baldomir's place u get the same result(with Margarito winning a couple more rounds than Baldomir).

        I haven't seen Margarito beat an opponent who can box and move well. It looked like Cintron tried to move but his legs looked like **** and his defense was laughable. Antonio was clocking his ass all night. Lmao@Margarito tellin Cintron to get up. Cintron kept whining like a ***** about being hit in the back of the head. Do something about it.

            hahahahah why are you guys posting these responses? the thread wasnt whether or not marg can win, i know he wont win, its that a win in the fashion floyd would execute wouldnt be attractive or even lucrative marketing wise.

              there is no way Margo would get close to the kind of scores Oscar got. it would be a boring landslide for casual fans.

                  Well Floyd is gonna try to outbox Cotto too if they fight. He's not gonna try to outbrawl him. That'd be ******. Its up to Floyd to make it exciting. Unless Cotto can force him into a fight.

                    it did damage his marketability. i dont know one casual fan who bought Hatton/Mayweather. Alot of NEW to the sport people bought De La Hoya/Mayweather. Remember, in the US, Mayweather/De La did 2.5 Million buys. Hatton/Mayweather did just 800,000. thats MORE than a significant drop. You live in McAllen right? Ask around. Ask people you see at clubs, at Buffalo Wild Wings, at whatever ****ing new club is open now because the owners just shut down, remodel and open up again ever 6 months, ask how many bought Mayweather/Hatton or even if they are interested.

                      of course but i believe Floyd would take more risk since Cotto is actually shorter than Floyd, has a "questionable" chin which is opposite of what Margo is.
