..COTTO/MAYWEATHER: What The Numbers Mean...

[THe TRiNiTY]

I don't understand this thread. The threadstarter is asking what the numbers mean but all I see are posts about how Floyd fans shouldn't use numbers an excuse, etc. etc.

Am I missing something?

I'm describing what the numbers mean. Not asking.

But that strategy leads to only mishaps. Why not cash out now, while the pot is still big? Who knows if one of them doesn't lose and ruins the bigger picture. Fighters don't stay in their primes and undefeated forever. You have to strike while the iron is hot.

THATS RIGHT... AND ITS THE ONLY DOWN SIDE TO THE "WAIT AND LET COTTO GROW" PLAN.

HOPEFULLY IS DOESN'T BITE MAYWEATHER IN THE HAND.... MORE SO POCKETS TO HIM.

yeah we can look at this **** but it's up to Mayweather to fight Cotto...the money can be generated...

The problem with Horus' argument is that I've already mentioned that Mayweather is the bigger draw. What my argument is.. Is that Cotto makes for a big enough, viable fight. Mayweather and his bitches just hate to admit it. It's sad.

I think mayweather needs to fight cotto, partly to cement his legacy, partly to get people on this forum to stfu!!

but if its all about the money then there are bigger fights for him; i mean de la hoya and hatton rematches would both bring in A LOT MORE MONEY!!!
dont get why people keep ignoring british ppv sales??? since america's economy is ****ed and u get over 2 dollars to the pound!! **** it a rematch with the big show would probably make him more than cotto, mayweather is now a brand that reaches beyond boxing, is cotto?? is he ####!!

mayweather is now a brand that reaches beyond boxing.

You must make a sick salary being Floyd's PR person.

What are you doing on this forum?

I ignore the U.K. sales because I don't see them helping American fighters pockets. So, that's not incentive.

Yes, De La Hoya/Mayweather would be a BIGGER fight. But, I'd argue that domestically, Cotto/Mayweather is bigger than Mayweather/Hatton.

Has Mayweather said he won't ever fight him? Or, essentially that Cotto has to wait just like he had to for the big fights? Mayweather is stalling...for whatever reason. Either way it benefits Cotto providing he doesn't lose. So quit bitching and having a hissy fit.

Forgive my lack of comprehension but what do you think the #'s mean?

That the difference in popularity between Cotto and Mayweather isn't SO drastic that the matchup doesn't make sense. It'd be a big fight. I used the numbers to help prove my point.
