I am going to call it right now: PBF vs JMM will be the biggest selling fight in 2009

[Fulcrum29]

Cotto has plenty of fans and he's had solid success as a PPV headliner. If he's not on par with Marquez in terms of recognition, he's past him. Remember the Casa PPV bombed and the Diaz fight was in Houston for a reason.

Wrong both Cotto and Pac generate poor ppv sales on their own.

The hype for the fight hasn't even started yet. It just seems that way now because Floyd/JMM is around the corner. Make no mistake about it the hype for Pac/Cotto will be HUGE.

Wrong.

[Al Haymon]

it wouldnt even come close to pac-hatton

Don't be so sure.

Sources* indicate that there's no deal in place for Pacquiao-Cotto 24/7 yet. And that it may not happen.


*no. I do not have a link.

It won't outsell Pac.Cotto. Still will be a temendous success I'm sure though.

don't forget that movie theater ****.....there's a lot of ppl that will do that, who otherwise would've ordered the fight on ppv....

so all in all, this fight SHOULDN'T out-ppv cotto-pacman, but if it even comes close......'nuff said.

I think it will do very well...not as much as Cotto and Pac but it will definitely sell.

I think it will be soley on JMM's 24/7 pee segment lol...NO joke people that don't watch boxing have been coming up to me and saying "JMM is SOO crazy...and actually have been watching the show" as a result of that...they have expressed that they will buy the fight. So...as far as marketing....24/7 is definitely helping the pitch!

300-400k is not poor at all. Pac/Diaz and Cotto/Judah did nearly 100k more than Casa/Marquez.

Deal. .

alright man!! good luck!

[The Gambler1981]

It could go either way, this 24/7 is pretty compelling they are not always like that. I thought JMM would be boring but with him doing crazy **** and Nacho they have made it interesting.

I think it ends up a lot closer then most people think, one way or the other.

[JM1]

Yes it will. Cotto doesn't have that many fans.
