    Okay I see your point, However I am talking talking PPV numbers, What I am saying is if Floyd really is the attraction, he would sell Tickets not PPV hook ups.
    This is what I mean in terms of big money and who makes the money, look you cant dispute which cost more a ticket to DLH PBF or a PPV buy, there is no arguement there, and being that the crowd there booed the out come are you to say that Floyd fans thought Oscar won the fight?
    Didnt think so, so again who really sells is it Floyd? or is it his opponents? and what I mean by sell is tickets actual seats programs, fight shirts etc.. its always Floyds opponent.

      No where in floyds resume do i see any guys on the level of Chavez,M.A. Gonzalez, Camacho,Mosley,Trinidad,Quartey,Vargas,Hopkins and Whitaker.
      The only guy was Corrales and possibly Hatton.

      Yeah, Mayweather beat Genaro Hernadez, good win. Guess what, Oscar beat him 3 yrs earlier and fasrter than Floyd.
      Since you said:
      "I judge"

      Your Post is Subjective but it is still relevant for argument sake..
      because at the end of the day we all are just giving our opinion

      But here is my opinion with some facts

        Someone said something about me mentioning this and got all sensative. I think the Showtime bout and the MMA ppv took away many fans from this bout. **** Cotto needs to get on the west coast, up north, and down south to help increase his fanbase.

          he should had done that a long time ago. costly mistake on Arum's part. he could have capitalized on the mexican/PR rivalry thing a long time ago.

            Really? how do you come to that conclusion? If its bringing in the money it doesn't matter. Obviously the PPV brings in more cheese, you cant argue that. Also, if Floyd wasn't a draw then why do his opponents get career high pay days against him?

              But seriously i dont understand why Cotto isnt BIG in america yet..They loved him over here in england and had he being English he would be selling out Football stadiums.

              I would have though with his fighting style he would have alot of people wanting to watch his fights, Maybe american dont follow boxing the way we do.

                    Thats right, we are here to state our opinions. I don't agree with yours , but will not resort to name calling or elementary insults. By the Way , I used "judge" cause you used it and I was responding to your post.

                    Mayweather opponents faced is not on Oscar level, I know you like Floyd , can you at least recognize this and leave your favoritism for floyd aside.
