Team Mayweather: "Cotto Not Important"

[Carlisle]

What a disgrace to boxing.

What a disgrace to boxing.

"They can debate and demand all they want... as long as I'm getting paid why should I fight risky fights?" -Floyd Mayweather

There are a lot of cowards who will respect him.. but thats about it.

Can u please post a source for your Floyd quote?

i think floyd is having an affair with ellerbe

like de la hoya and schaefer right?

How Ellerbe is dare to say that Cotto is not a big of a Draw if he sold out Madison Square Garden Twice in a row. And the same Ellerbe said it, it took Floyd 9 years to go to PPV, and how long it took Cotto 2 or 3 years? 'm mean Floyd is just scare ****less, I mean is sad when the so call P4P #1 runs away fron the contenders. I mean did Leaonard ran away from fighters or Benitez or Ali or pep or Frazier or Robison?You don't see the Yankees crying when they play against the Red Sox, or the Spurs crying when they play against the Celtics. Floyd is a joke, and he is offending the sport.

Why do u think Floyd stays loyal to the WBC? They give him a license to duck and cherry pick. U dont believe me?.....Look into thier rules.

[Pullcounter]

During a recent interview with the NY Post, Leonard Ellerbe, the advisor/manager to pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr, said Miguel Cotto is not at the point where he is important enough to land a fight with Floyd. Ellerbe cites poor television ratings (on HBO) for Cotto's recent defense of the WBA welterweight title against Alfonso Gomez. He does feel Cotto is good fighter who improves with each passing fight.

it took floyd 9 years to make it to the top of boxing... he's not going to do cotto any favors by letting him jump the line... cotto will have to earn his shot in terms of marketing himself. As long as there are bigger names that will cut bigger paychecks Floyd has no reason to fight Cotto.

Cotto and Arum have to go on a promotional offensive and increase his visibility fast if he wants to catch floyd soon.

By late 2009 the demand will be so huge that the fight will happen.

R U getting Money from Floyd? No right? SO stop wearing about Floyd getting paychecks, and start being a fan and wear about the fight happening.

What a joke! his fights againts oscar, hatton, and gatti all sold because of them not him. If it was cus of him then why did hatton seel half what the oscar fight did? and talking about numbers where the hell are his WWE ppv numbers? Since hes such a huge draw. I keep seeing videos on utube to boycott the oscar 2 fight and i will wait till its over and maybe watch it on utube.

Actaullly- the WWE numbers were the biggest in WWE history by 1.2 million, Dan Ralphael had it on espn.com.... Ur an idiot and most likely live an idiots life. the numbers with Hatton, Oscar where the biggest of thier careers, if Mayweather doesnt get credit for some of that my first assumption of u is correct...

It will sell more PPV and as a whole it will generate more revenue than the rematch. I don't give a **** what floyd or Cotto is getting, I know it will be ****load more than what any of us will make in our lifetime.

I know plenty of people that bought the first one and there's no way in hell they're going to be buying the second one. And it's all beacuse it was all hype. I wonder what the promotion for the second will be "The great fraud part two"

I don't know about all of you but I just want to see this fight. I don't give a **** about numbers, money, legacy or any of that other bull****. They owe it to us the fans that make it possible for this ****** to be throwing around stacks of bills and calling himself "money". We know Cotto wants it, the fans want it, the money will be there so **** the excuses and make it happen.

How do u know Cotto wants it, When has he ever said that, or have been qouted.... they both go around the bush on this fight saying they dont need each other
