    Yeah. Blame Bob.

    Who promoted Mayweather-Judah?

      The best thing about articles like this, is that hopefully some real fans will actually get to see the fight.

      Maybe one of them can actually buy a ticket if they release some.

        It appears Floyd had a point when speaking about Cotto's popularity.
        This fight should be sold out already, but neither of these fighters have the following or attraction to be mainstream fighters.
        Plus, the prices are a little high I think.

          Not only did the crowd enjoy the fight far more than "Floyd haters" will admit, but think of it like this...would you rather win a dominating decision and take every round with the crowd booing the last 30 seconds of the 12th round because you are blowing out your opponent so bad OR be involved in a fight that the crowd loved and was estatic about but end up losing...??

            Cotto is a very good fighter.

              Cotto is a very good fighter. Perhaps even a fighter who will be great. I like the way he fights. It is his pathetic (seven) fans who are so jealous of Floyd's commercial appeal that make me chuckle.

                Is it possible for Bob to slip a little, yes it is.
                Mayweather-Judah received great promotion, I still haven't heard anything about Cotto-Margarito.

                  Um, maybe because there are two guys with zero personality who speak six words of english between them? There's no animosity. Miguel is an automaton who has that "whatever my company wants".

                  And they are coming off a double header that performed atrociously. Bob is being careful by not investing too much marketing that will not be recouped.

                  If bob was gonna get $3 in income for every $1 in marketing that he invested, what would he do?

                    Not that having personalities and speaking English is an exact formula for success. Bernard and Calzaghe come to mind. They had a massive promotion.

                      **** JC Chavez didn't speak a lick of english and didn't have a personality. Yet his fight always did good numbers.
