    Come on now... If the fight was on the east coast you could'nt offer enough seats to sell. This will be Cotto's opportunity to show the west coast what he is all about. Of course the economy has a little bit to do with the ticket sales but over all Cotto understands now is his opportunity to force Floyd out of retirement. He wants to fight Floyd, believe me. Not only for the big pay check but because he want's to prove he truly is the best welterweight out there. He is a true fighter. After this fight with Margarito the boxing fans all over the world will be all over Floyd to come back. Why? because people want to see Floyd's big mouth getting shut. Shut with punches in the ring and they will know Cotto is the one who can do it.

      Some of the same arguments used against Cotto vs. Floyd
      were being used against Floyd vs. Oscar

      Some Floyd Fans are just using the same standard and credible stipulations Place on Floyd...to fight Oscar....

      On Cotto vs. Floyd ..

      That's just how it goes...

      Us Floyd fans had to wait 6 years for Floyd to Fight Oscar...
      So how you think we felt about that....

      But we didnt ***** and complain as bad as you cotto fans are doing...
      We just set back as we watch Our fighter stack up victories and boost his market appeal and boxing prestige so he could get a fight with Oscar...

      We Waited 6 years for the fight to happen....
      and when it happen we were vindicated....and we rubbed it in Oscar Fans Faces....

      Soo.....now you Cotto fans know how it feels to be fan of a fighter when credible stipulations and standards are put on your fighter as to why he might not fight another fighter THAT YOU WANT HIM TO FIGHT

      ....EVEN AFTER you think YOUR FIGHTER HAS PROVEN THAT HE SHOULD FIGHT THE OTHER FIGHTER....

      and it makes you mad when those arguments are credible why the fight might not happen or why it isnt happening...


      Welcome to THE CLUB...!!!


      Look at HBO making the argument that Floyd isnt a big enough star to fight Oscar..!!!

      3:20-on









      WHAT I DONT GET IS WHY DIDNT THEY PUSH THE
      FLOYD VS. OSCAR FIGHT

      LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO PUSH THE
      COTTO VS FLOYD FIGHT.....


      WHAT KIND OF DOUBLE STANDARD IS THAT......!!!!!

      @ Larry Merchant and STEWARD



      IRONY



      So basically it is ok for Oscar to make Floyd meet all his stipulations and standards... which amounted in Floyd waiting for 6 years....For Oscar to fight Floyd

      and it is ok that SRL made Hagler Wait until he meet all his stipulations and standards... which amounted in Hagler waiting for 7 years For the SRL vs. Hagler fight to happen

      But it is not ok for Floyd to make Cotto meet all his stipulations and standards... before the Floyd vs. Cotto fight can happen..!!

      Double Standard once again....


      But here is the common factor in any those situations,
      1. the fight eventually happen
      2. When the fight happen it was the biggest thing in Boxing....!!!


      So why Cant Floyd follow a successful Format...!!
      if it works....????

      I not saying Have cotto wait 7 years...or 6 years in Floyd case....

      But why not let Cotto wait, and let the fight Build up to what it should be...!!!


      Obviously this format works...!!!
      Fan of screaming black men. Do u realize that when Floyd was first interested in a fight with Oscar, they were about 3 weight-classes apart, and Floyd had yet to even headline a ppv. Cotto and Floyd are both in the same weight-class, both are undefeated and in thier primes, both have headlined ppv's, and this is a fight that the entire boxing world is calling for.

      Your comparison of Oscar making Floyd wait, to that of Floyd making Cotto wait is waaaay off!

              If that's not enough, well too bad, there is no other possible opponent for floyd so he should stay retired if that's all he cares about. ODH is the only name bigger then floyd, that's a no go. Ricky hatton rematch would do well. Maybe pacquiao? Thats it. There simply are not any big names in boxing anymore, other then the names i just mentioned and maybe one or two other guys.
              Unless I'm wrong, Floyd is retired and hasn't shown any interest in coming back. You all are not only speculating but almost demanding and taking orders on whom a retired fighter should fight. Like you I would've loved to see him take out Cotto before he left. But, Floyd knows the public NEVER lets you out of the game when you're on top. After Cotto there would be someone else the public would demand. When has a retired boxer received so much attention on a boxing forum?

                So BY your Logic is that Because Mayweather wasnt in De La Hoya Weight Class... That Mayweather calling him out doesnt Count...

                So I guess Pavlik calling Out Calzaghe doesnt Count when he has Abramham in his division..?

                So I guess Pacquaio Calling Out Hatton doesnt count when he has prime lightweights in his division...?

                So I guess Roy Jones calling out John Ruiz didnt count either..?
                Or
                De La Hoya calling out Bernard Hopkins..?

                or

                Ricky Hatton calling out Mayweather...!!

                  Once again, your off. Floyd was seen as small Frye when Oscar was in his prime. It doenst help that they were about 3 weight-classes apart. The guys u mentioned above were only 1 weight-class apart. Those fights were/are much easier to make...idiot.

                      Ur Ignorant and have double standards which are obvious., U lack common sense...

                      From a Legacy and Business Stand Point..

                      How does Margarito Enhance Floyd Status even Higher than what it is now?
                      How does Paul Williams Enhance Floyd Status even Higher what it is now?
                      How Does Miguel Cotto Enhance Floyd Status even Higher what it is now?

                      All those Fighters are "Small Frye's" compared to Mayweather

                      Floyd is already Greatest of His Generation

                      What is the point of fighting Non-Status Enhancing Fights, If they dont bring you A Lucrative Payday or If he cant become the greatest fighter ever fighting these guys...??


                      He was already the P4P BEST since 2005
                      He was already the undisputed Lineal Champion
                      He was already recognized around the world the best boxer alive
                      He was already accomplish what no other fighter in history has never done

                      The only thing he has left to accomplish is to be call the The Greatest of All Time

                      If he cant accomplish the status of Greatest Fighter Ever Fighting Guys Like Margarito at this point of his career, or Make 20-30 million like he did against Hatton.. Why fight these guys, if they dont Enhance his legacy past what it already is...

                      It is obvious people will never give him that status so why continue fighting for something he already has... And that is the recognition as the best boxer alive and P4P best....



                      Oscar Fought Floyd to Enhance his Legacy And Get a Lucrative Payday
                      SRL fought Hagler to Enhance his legacy And Get a Lucrative Payday
                      Ricky Hatton fought to Floyd to Enhance his Legacy And Get a Lucrative Payday
                      Oscar fought Tito to Enhance his Legacy And Get a Lucrative Payday
                      SRL fought Hearns to Enhance his Legacy And Get a Lucrative Payday




                      So why should Floyd listen to guys like Margarito,Williams,Cotto calling him out, if they dont Enhance his Legacy And Get him Lucrative Payday ..?

                      Like Floyd did for Oscar
