Mayweather-Pac sells more than Mayweather-Cotto. I don't see how that's debatable. Now if u wanna talk about which one is more exciting...
at Reed and DIOS
I never once said Pac-Cotto is bigger then Pac-Floyd... I said it's ALSO a mega event, and Arum can possibly make just as much, being thet he will get his CUT off of both fighters, instead of taking his cut just off Manny, against Floyd.
Pac is the only guy I have heard Cotto ask for besides the rematch with Margarito. I think Arum will dangle that fight to try to keep Cotto in top rank but won't give it to him. I like Cotto and it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up on Golden Boy.
We don't even know how much numbers the event can make.
If it makes 5x more than Cotto-Pac wouldn't you believe Arum would still get a better half?
my math is very shakey so forgive me if i make some dumb mistake but i think Pacquiao/Cotto generating, say, 70% of the revenue Pacquiao/Floyd would make is a reasonable estimation?
and the whole of that 70% would definitely be more profitable for Arum than seeing only 50% of the Floyd/Pacquiao revenue
i don't think Pac/Cotto would do less than 50% of Pac/Mayweather
and you gotta take into consideration the boost in stock the Pac/Cotto winner will recieve
