    another showtime card featuring a great light-heavy match up at the same time has something to do with that.

      You don't need to headline Top Rank PPV's when you're getting paid good money having a multi-fight contract with HBO.

      Arum never had that problem with Floyd.

        Who cares what age they started, to some Cotto's style is more pleasing, Sweet Pea was old before he landed on a PPV, again explain why with Margo on the card, Cotto has one of the lowest ratings on FREE HBO.

          No it doesnt, not when more people have HBO and many less have Showtime, not when many havent even heard of any of those light heavyweight fighters on that card except Tarver, not when in this day and age its very simple to tape a broadcast and watch another later.

            Example: Gatti's first and only PPV. Biggest payday of his career.

            Delahoya's biggest PPV, his biggest payday.

            You're done.
            so they're facts because you say they are, ok, i got it now dude.

            by the time mayweather was what 30 - yes, he did get to beat up on one of the most overrated champions in a while in gatti. good for the floyd and his lady friends who care so much about his paper.

            floyd obviously contributed to both fights, whos saying otherwise? NOT THIS GUY. what i'm saying is that without help, floyd is essentially a NO-ONE when it comes to PPV.

            in pugilistic terms, he's still the closest to gawd.

              Wonder why...
              He chose not to. His rematch against JLC was TAILOR MADE for ppv but he chose to bypass that for a later date. Gatti being his ppv debut was a very smart decision on his part.

                obviously it doesn't - and you're right, more people do have HBO.

                ^^^^ This guy!

                  floyd became a champ at 21.not 20.cotto started his career at 21 cause he was in a car accident and broke his arm.i think had he not he would have ended up a champ at 21 or 22.and the cotto margo cintron gomez **** did nothing cause dawson tarver woods johnson where on that same day i believe.

                    Floyd fought Gatti at age 28, you dont seem to have any credibility.

                      That my friend, is called an EXUSE. If Cotto was an enormous draw whoever was on the other channel wouldn't even matter. That being said that **** doesn't matter to me, I want to see this fight.
