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

[ILLuminato]

Without "retirement" Floyd would be figthing in Palookaville. True story. ****ing coward

[iron lung]

Marquez isn't that popular and Floyd wants him because he's small. But i'm sure Mexican fans will tune in to see if he gets his butt whooped. This is just another excuse not to fight the best. But I wonder why he fought Carlos Manuel Baldomir and not any of the real welterweights.

because carlos baldomir was a career high payday for him u dumbass. he got 10 mill for baldomir (arum was allegedly offering 8 mill to fight margarito) PLUS he got 2 belts from baldomir, he was doing what any fighter should be trying to do it's called UNIFYING. he had 3 of the major belts after that. who did you want him to fight? Some other idiot for 2 mill and no belts? You lose

it aint all about money. we have yet to see floyd beat a prime ww.

haha...you think Dela wouldn't have vacated that title in a second for a multi million dollar fight with May....Belts don't mean a god damn thing...If Dela Hoya could have made it to 147 he would have but he couldnt...and we see what happend to him when he tried...he would have come for those ww belts if he thought he could go down and not be a shell of himself.

You sound "unknowledgeable" to what the boxing game is all about.

which is hard to believe coming from a "Money" fan.

Again you sound very unknowledgable, Oscar preferred the fight at 154 so he could be bigger and stronger and its also why he wanted Floyd to wear certain gloves. The bigger Floyd is the slower he is which works in Oscar's favor.

We have also never seen Floyd quit against prime anything.

How so? So youre saying Hatton/Pac does what?

More then 500,000.

[Ryn0]

Ok, lets say youre right, but at those numbers, they certainly dont deserve parity correct?

Correct, I agree with the fact that are lesser PPV attractions and lesser fighters than Floyd (in the case of Cotto anyway, Mosley is up for debate IMO but whatever)

The matter of fact is, Mayweather is all abut the money now and since beating Hatton will give him little legacy at all and only give him a paycheck. Pacquiao on the other hand will give him a paycheck and a name on his resume but personally I'm not fooled Pacquiao has yet to take punches above 130 and will crumble against Mayweather just under the sheer size and power Mayweather has over him, which means the only way for a paycheck AND real recognition is to fight a guy like Mosley/Cotto that will really booster his legacy to ATG levels.

[ILLuminato]

Floyd Mayweather thinks he is the greates p4p, and I don't think he even deserves to be in the conversation for top 10.

[Bhopreign]

More then 500,000.

Not quite 850k is it?

[Ryn0]

In the US more than say 500k? But the real money is in the UK PPV buys, Hatton racked up like 1.2 mil over there against Mayweather and is a superstar.

Is Pacquiaos fight a PPV in the philippines cause if it is that'll also be huge. I think Worldwide this has HUGE appeal and will do more overall the Mayweather-Hatton because of the icon status they both have at home.
