    Wright is not a PPV fighter really... it's his opposition that got him on PPV. Hell, even his fights with Vargas, Mosley and Taylor didn't end up on PPV. Only Trinidad and Hopkins got him on PPV.

    Not to mention, Cotto is a PPV fighter. He fought Judah, Mosley and Margarito on PPV, and is probably the biggest up and coming PPV fighter... I mean, **** he outsold Pavlik, who was the only other fighter that I figured would have a chance of becoming a PPV star in the near future.

      Then he said, on second thought, I'm retiring.

      Sounds like Cotto doesn't get much of the blame on this one.
      Cotto never said **** but "I lets my peoples tells me who to fights"

      He didn't say "let's do it" when those HBO cameras were in his face.

          He said he would do it when Kellerman asked him point blank...

            I can't imagine what more he should have said at that point.



            So at any point in the future if Cotto wants the fight and Mayweather doesn't, it's Cotto's fault because he didn't take him when he was still green at 140?

            Makes sense.
            Stop lying..

            Kellerman asked his ass about Floyd and he went into his same old speach about his "managements"

              Eat a **** alt...

              I know what I'm talking about. He did say he would be willing, but Mayweather doesn't want it and he isn't going to wait on him.

                Stop it...LOL

                Kellerman:

                "Are you willing to fight Mayweather Jr.."

                Cotto:

                "I fights who my managements tells me who to fights"

                Kellerman: (looking into the camera and shrugging his shoulders)

                "Well...i tried.."


                LOL

                THAT is what happened.

                    At the time when Floyd was calling Winky out though Cotto wasn't as big of a star as he is these days. Winky had name value that Floyd could try to translate into stardom for himself. You are right about Winky not being a huge draw though.
