Cotto Will Make 15 million in His Fight With Pacquiao!

[COACH WEBB]

why do mofos care so much about how much cotto gets paid? are you getting a cut of that check???

exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dondi330]

With respect Dondi.

Money is a big issue in all sports....

Sports center reports on all big signing...**** here in the U.S who the F cares about Real Madrid but they have been reporting on Ronaldo's big money contract.

I'm not saying....O wow Cotto is the man he's got millions.

But it is an impressive figure for both fighters...and to act like it doesn't matter is pretty silly.

If anything it shows how much bigger boxing is then any other combat sport...Money talks as most say...and making your competitors look like small time peanuts...is good for the sport...no doubt.

Understood...I just believe it is not an issue when discussing the Sweet Science.
Its like Street ball players. They are Good ..really good, even Pros watch and play against them. But they arent getting Kobe money or Lebron. But we still love to watch them because we love the sport not how much money they make.

[Animalistic]

Why should I?? I don't see a penny of that money idiot.

Then why come here like a ***** to post a ****** hate post?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Really Mak? Those are low expectations. Less than the Hatton fight domestically?

I think it'll do 850-900K.

i wanted to throw that number out there but thought i would go conservative

[Airforce1234]

this fight does more then hatton pac, for sure it will, cotto is way bigger star then hatton by far.

[D-Omonist]

i think is gonna do more..

since the FTA SATTELITE tv. .isnt working anymore... at least here in PR.. dont know about the states..


ppl with FTA were use to get all the PPV events for free..

now that is not working anymore since the DIGITAL change on the tv..

ppl are going to be obligate to BUY this one...

im expecting the ppv to be really close to a million

YEAH! **** sucks! We know almost everyone here in P.R. will purchase it!

this fight does more then hatton pac, for sure it will, cotto is way bigger star then hatton by far.

I dunno man I could make the argument easily that Cotto is the better fighter...but bigger star?

Hatton has been in some huge PPV's...Cotto could get there with a win over Pac though.

Agreed bro...I watch the sport cause I love it...I have my favorite fighters...and they would be my faves regardless of Bentley or Bonneville.

I'm just saying the money talk is going to arise because it ( like pink said) is nice to see fighters getting there due...They fight in a sport where you can be done after 1 fight...could even die...15 mil for Cotto is good money...I'm happy for him...doesn't make him a better fighter but it nice to know the hard work paid off...I think saying who cares about money and blah blah blah it's about the fighters...is cute...and the POP thing to say cause it makes you look like a purist...but you want to know who cares about the money?

The fighters that put there health on the line knowing they got mouths to feed that's who.

you feel me?

i think hatton is more known in the u.s. than cotto.

i could be wrong but ricky did have that 24/7 not too long ago and 1 mil. ppv buys that got his name out there.

cotto is more popular with boxing fans but the casual fans don't really know him.

he did overpay...that's what happens when you're dealing with two marquee guys with leverage on both sides....cotto's free agency pending, and manny killing the fight by saying its at 140-143

manny don't even know the difference.

manny is surrounded by a lot of bloodsuckers though that want him to get the most money possible.

the more they can swindle from manny.

[ANDROID_DOES]

Means Pac is going to make at least $25M!

Oh wait, we all know Arum gets 27% of that!

You're an idiot and need to stop watching floyd youtube videos. How do you know what percentage arum gets? Do you even know what a takes to put on a fight? Do you know who fronts the money to put on a fight? Do you know who are the people actually taking the finiancial risk when there's a fight? It certainly isn't the fighters. In ****** people talk that's like you demanding the owner of your company to give you more than half of his profits since you are the one working for him. An owner employes, takes a risk, and fronts the money to run a business and the employees work and get paychecks. When a company losses money your checks are the same you don't lose anything but the owner does. Pac and cotto owe everything their whole career to bob arum and top rank.
