Cotto vs Gomez brings LOWEST HBO WCB ratings ever

[OTSS]

how is 340,000 against Mosley lukewarm? it did more than Pavlik/Taylor.

I don't think it was that bad I was actually surprised at the numbers being that high. Alot of people will tell you that Mosley is a superstar but he has NEVER been a good draw. Some people fail to realize that.

No one cares about him because they know he isn't what is advertised. You can lie and try to persuade people all you want, but a majority of the people that know boxing and arent biased Cotto jizz drinkers know he is ALL HYPE. He beat washed up fighters, and feather fisted fighters like Mosley, Zab, Paulie, Urkal and people like that. If you arent a Cotto Stan, you know he is good, but not as good as they make him seem.

Cotto, despite being one of the game’s best boxers, has not thrived in terms of pay-per-view numbers. His outings against Paulie Malignaggi, Zab Judah and Shane Mosley, while critical successes that did well at the box-office, performed just lukewarm on pay-per-view while situated in New York. His last outing against Alfonso Gomez in Atlantic City did one of the lowest ratings ever (2.1) for an HBO World Championship Boxing telecast. Perhaps Arum believes it's time for Cotto to expand his horizons (and his fanbase), and that fighting on the west coast will attract more Mexican-American fans, while increasing the pressure on one Floyd Mayweather to face Cotto, should be beat
'The Tijuana Tornado' in his adopted hometown.

I guess Mayweather was right..

Do you know where we can check out the nielsen ratings for all Hbo fights.

Another thing about ratings, how many people do you know that have the box that tracks your viewing habits.

Naw I was tryni to ****in around with the Cotto Jizz ****. But really, IMO and from people that I know that are involved in boxing, they even say he isnt as good as they hype him up to be. I stand by what I said in the post and believe it 100%.

By the way, you got the best AV besides they guy with Al Bundy. Big Ups.

To be fair there was another big card on at the same time.

Cotto is just doesn't have crossover appeal...
He is a more for the hardcore boxing fans rather the casual fan, or a non boxing fan..

1. No Personality
2. Cant really Speak English
3. His Style is Not really TV friendly
4. He brings no drama
5. And he is basically living off of Floyd Name, because everytime you mention cotto they talk about "THAT'S mayweather next Opponent"
and that is basically his appeal...

Cotto is going in the right the direction, but he isn't quite there yet...

so you honestly believe another card on another network had nothing to do with the low ratings? reason im asking is because you dont address that.

yeah he is goig in the right direction because him and his people want 1 big money making fight. All he fights are fighters that are washed up with good names, and feather fisted fighters. I'll give it to him, he has power and decent speed, but thats why he fights feather fisted people so he can go inside, show his power and not be in any REAL danger of losing the fight.
