    Youll probably right. But like I said, even if a maywether fight make bigger numbers, a Cotto fight will make more money for the fighters, because of less people involved, and since Pacquiao and Cotto are Top Rank fighters, negotiations are easier.

      Cotto and shane settle their welterweight dispute first whoever wins, fights the PBF-PAC p4p#1 elimination match. regardless what Arum says.....JMM is outside of the equation though.

              This is a negotiating ploy,downplaying Mayweather's marketability so that Flyof won't ask for too much.Floyd's fight sells and brings more money than anyone because Floyd is a crossover fighter.The casual fan knows Floyd and the press quotes Floyd.
