      He has only headlined two cards. Cintron 1, and the Cotto fight. What's your point? That Cotto has gotten more of his fights rejected by the networks and put on top rank ppv's?

      I'm only saying his drawing power has increased significantly, and it will continue to do so if he wins his next couple of fights. Cotto is a good draw as well though, but that isn't the reason why he is on ppv in his next fight, or some of the other ones.

          mosley vs margarito hbo bad
          cotto vs jenning ppv

          margo better win against mosley. if he loses he wont get as much money for the rematch with cotto.
          are you serious dude? HBO and Showtime both turned down the cotto vs jenkins fight and on the other hand HBO came up with more money for margarito to broadcast margarito vs mosley. Are you lost?

            i guess calzaghe, jones, and margarito are not a big draw.
            plus hbo offered 4 mil now the offered a lil bit more. cotto's minimum would be 3 mil.
            Cotto vs Mosley - 400,000 ppv
            Cotto vs Judah - 225,000 ppv
            "The MGM Grand Garden Arena seats 16,000. A disappointing crowd of 10,477 attended the fight. Puerto Rico vs. Mexico is still essentially an east coast rivalry. The bout would have been better attended had it taken place at Madison Square Garden or in Atlantic City. But Arum’s judgment was vindicated by the first post-fight pay-per-view numbers, which indicate that there were close to 500,000 buys."

            why would that be?? i guess because more of cotto fan would of gone to the fight.

              Didn't cotto vs gomez in atlantic city bring the 2nd worst rating EVER on HBO's Boxing after Dark?? and the arena wasn't a sell out.

                  all the fighters you named are better than margarito and historically will be looked at as better boxers than margarito so who cares how much he he sells in cali where there are a bunch of mexicans lets see if he sells out in the garden

                      Is money worth more in the Garden? If it isn't you just made a totally ****** comment.
