Cotto-Clottey Explodes; Over 12,000 Tickets Sold

[..WaRSpencE..]

Marquez is a much bigger fight than any of them, because he's P4P #2, he was planning to move to 140 in any case, and he wants to fight Mayweather, so it's not unfair to Marquez at all, because he sees it as his big chance. Of course it would have been a lot more legitimate for Mayweather's résumé if he could have got down to 140, but if he doesn't think he can without being weight drained, then it would be wrong for him to try - just as Cotto is right to say no to fighting Pac below 145.

That's why catchweights are GAY!..

Cotto fighting Paquiao is POINTLESS!..on plus is $$$..but it's a lose-lose situation as far as fan base..

Mayweather shouldn't be lookin for a draw in his comeback/"tuneup"..plus fighting Berto in FL would SELL OUT!..Haitians would go NUTS!..and it's a legit 147 fight PERIOD!.

I'd rather see him fight Berto, but I think it's silly to get worked up about who he fights in a tune-up, and I also think Marquez will pose a lot more of a threat than many people think he will - he's a real warrior, and an exceptionally clever counter-puncher, which is something Floyd hasn't had to contend with for a very long time if ever; and I'm really looking forward to the fight. As I said before, if you aren't biased, you'd judge him on who he fights after this, not on who he fights in a tune-up. And anyway, I'd far rather watch Floyd-JMM than Cotto-Jennings, even though that was for a belt and Jennings was a Welterweight.

Also, lots of Cotto fans have posted in other threads saying they'd like to see him fight Pac.

Cotto-Pac is a GAY ass matchup..plus Pacquiao wants him at 142?!..HELL NO!.

Cotto can get Mosley, Mayweather, Berto, and Margarito when he gets back..a tune tune up or 2 saying he wins them..and he can retire with a GREAT resume and a GREAT Career..an ATG and a Hall of Famer for sure!..

Pacquiao needs to handle Bradley, Marquez, and run 140 if he ain't tryin to contest in the 147 division!..

clottey have terrific defense, has longer reach and hungry for a crown... but it will be cotto... by decision.

[elliot0214]

Cotto has a pretty good fan base. And the biggest reason Floyd is so popular is because of all the eople that want to see him lose and close his big mouth.

Floyd can sell more tickets than Cotto can.
Floyd can fill a stadium with more than 100 thousand seats. Cotto can not fill a phone booth.

Cotto is simply a very likeable guy and an exciting fighter. As his career goes on and more people realize that, his fan base will grow as well.

[Albert Maximo]

Cotto is fun to watch man he is a explosive fighter why do you think Road Runner Mayweather bib bib is ducking him is entire carrer jajajaja *****!!!

[LoloChivas]

you said that floyd would sell 100k. the record is 93k, so if you say that he'd sell 100k, you're obviously saying that he will break the record in ticket sales

floyd couldn't sell tickets against hatton in his own country. hatton did that part for himself, like he's always done

and yeah, if you talk so much ****ty nonsense in person, you'd get the same reaction from me

i think the record was chavez vs haugen in 1993 in the Aztec Stedium with 132,274 people showing up for the fight, granted everyone was there for chavez.

[Lacrimosa]

Is boxing dying? M-m-m no...

Two non-American fighters, one of which lost two fights ago and has the less regarded WBO title, and the other one has no title at the time, sell out the arena at once...

P.S. I hope to see Berto fighting some of the top Weloterweights some day...

P.S. and i hope that one of those 12k tickets was bought by Margarito

I think clottey will knockout cotto.cotto is great but clottey is a big welterweight & hits hard.I'm looking forward to this fight.all this talk about pbf or pacman fighting cotto before he even fights clottey.I think cotto better not be taking clottey lightly or he will get hurt.

I dont think Clottey will KO Cotto, Mosley is a better puncher and didnt Ko Cotto......
