If Cotto-Margarito Don't Do 500,000+ Buys, They Ain't Worthy Of Floyd

Oscar sold 27,000 tickets for his fight against Forbes in LA
Hatton has sold well over 40,000 for his fight against Lazcano in England
Let Mayweather fight either of those no-name guys ANYWHERE. Michigan, Vegas, New York, wherever you want.
He couldn't sell 15,000 seats for a fight against either of those guys.
Mayweather-Baldy didn't sell out.
Yes there's a lot of money in PPV. But it's easy to sit your ass on a couch and say what the hell I'll buy this piece of **** PPV.
But drag you ass off the couch and overpay (often in the hundreds of dollars) to see a mismatch live is a whole other story.
Bottom line is people won't pay good money to see Mayweather fight a stiff live. They won't for Cotto either, but here's the whole point.
Mayweather is a slightly bigger draw than Cotto right now, but not by much.

Boxing is more complicated then that.

Its not like I dont want to see Floyd fight either guy next but it is a business and you cant fight forever. Besides those who want to see Floyd fight either right away are selfish and say it would better the sport and bring more fans when in reality the bigger a fight is the more fans it brings, letting the other build more buzz makes the fight way bigger but selfish fans who call themselves real like to mirage themselves by saying such things because in reality they are thinking of themselves only.
by this thread, i can tell you two are ready.

How about you honestly answer 2501's question and state who is worthy enough of Floyd's attention and stop *****footing around?
I want to see "Fraud Gayweather" fight Cotto or Marge just to see the haters EAT CHEESE LIKE THE **** THEY ARE..
I answered 2501's question honestly..
I want Floyd to fight the Cotto/Marge winner..

Originally posted by Bhopreign View PostSeriously at least not now because it will prove that a bigger fight can be made if they wait even longer. Arum was on point when he said the average sports fan vaguely has heard of Cotto and even less for Margarito and with it being on PPV that won't help their popularity. Get your PPV's up if you trying to see Money.

You're thinking smalltime talking about tickets. PPV is where the money is at.
Cotto can sell out MSG all he wants if the rest of the world isn't tuning in to watch it.

And let us talk the reality of boxing, which is the business part.
If you think PPV buys and popularity should count more than that then you arent a real fan. At least you admit as much.
