Cotto-Clottey Explodes; Over 12,000 Tickets Sold

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

LOl champ that was because the demand. they had to make more free space.


but selling out the Garden would be 18,000/


Which is very possible he'll do.

OK My mad.

Cotto aint a draw, but he made the MSG expand and put more seats for one of his fights, and he have the attendance record in MSG. Hel he even got 19 or 20K against Mosley, if Im not mistaking.

*****s owned again!!!!!!!!

Gatti fight has been downgraded a lot over time. It was Floyd's first PPV, people thought Floyd was underestimating Gatti and people thought Gatti was going to spring the upset. After Floyd embarassed him, people started calling it a mismatch.

But Cotto, on the other hand, stuggled with Malignaggi at 140. Floyd would have KO'd Cotto at 140. He decisions him at 147.

NOBODY with even half a brain thought Gatti could win.
Cotto was DEAD at the weight and yet still put on a great show in an exciteing fight, breaking Mallinagis cheek damaging him in general and putting him on his ass.

Well if it was Floyd who called Cotto too green, then my bad. But I know you're not going to sit here and tell me Cotto would have beaten Floyd at 140.

we're not talking about who's gonna win. i've always thought and said that floyd would probably beat cotto even at 147, but that cotto would have his fair chance against him even at 140

the point is that cotto is a huge risk for floyd and he will probably never fight him for this reason

[Kevin Jesus]

12k is pretty good, it'll probably sell more as the fight gets closer.

[El Jesus]

floyd was the one that said that cotto was too green and went ahead to fight...


wait for it...

here it comes...

GATTI

Is there any doubt that floyd at 140 wouldnt beaten the living hell out of a younger greener cotto, and on top of that, why would bob arum, send his potential trinidad-like puerto rican superstar to the wolves by having him get ruined by floyd mayweather jr, who was issuing beatings at 140.

There is a reason why he went after gatti, nobody else wanted to fight him at 140. infact nobody fought ANYBODY at 140, if you know the division, thats exactly what happened. Hatton held onto the title after tszyu and pursued nothing but weaker title holders like maussa. Cotto fought and defended his belt against mostly gatekeeper and matchmade competition, which is ok, he was just coming up. But dont pretend like floyd somehow avoided the best at 140, it was the other way around in that division.

and then you woke up from your dream floyd only sells when he fight guys like hatton or de la hoya. Oh wait those are the only fights he has sell and that's by thanking both of those who brought the crowd in.

ummmm floyd's fight with a no name baldimore did more buys than cotto vs shane, no go shoot yourself for not knowing what you are talking about.

[Antwuan Maxx]

cotto is not a big draw,only at msg he does this,and it's with clottey,last fight with jennings he didn't sell much,it's like oscar against a nobody in patrick charpentier,he filled up a stadium with over 50,000....cotto in his second home against a nobody in jennings didn't sell out the garden,imagine if it was in las vegas?..what? 4,000 fans?...lol

Just as you could easily Mayweather only draws big numbers when he has a strong b-side. Cotto-Jennings didn't sell out, but it still had more in attendance than Mayweather-Baldomir did in Vegas, a city where Floyd has resided for over a decade.

what does that have to do with the FACT that floyd said that cotto was too green?

destruction...

[ANDROID_DOES]

gatti was shot. gomez and baldomir proved it even more

what do you call struggling? beating by UD a guy in sich an horrible way that he suffered 3 fractures on his face?

btw, reply to the first part. floyd was the one who said that cotto was to green

damn idiots! Floyd challenged cotto, cotto's uncle and then trainer evangalista turned it down saying cotto wasn't ready. How long you been watching boxing? I see you just get your information from uniformed people on message boards?
