    If Floyd fought Jennings(Cotto) could he have sold out MSG or MGM

    Cotto sold out MSG for a fight that was advertised for what it was, a tune-up. Imagine, Cotto sold out the mecca of boxing against someone who was unheard of in the USA. Do you think Floyd could've done the same if it was also marketed as a tune-up fight?

    Doesn't matter, y'all can pick the venue for Floyd, MGM, Mandalay or MSG. Do you guys think he would've sold out an arena against Jennings?

    Hmmm....no....Cotto has a huge Puerto Rican fanbase in the New York area....Mayweather has no such thing in the Las Vegas area.

      More people would come to watch Cotto live due to nationalistic pride than Floyd Mayweather. However, Cotto PPV numbers stink. They have not even released Margarito-Cotto numbers officially

          Haters are running out of hate to spew. Miguel cant get on PPV with a no name like Floyd can. Miguel just had a fight on regular HBO not long ago, you will never see another Floyd fight on regular HBO again.

                Cotto has a huge Puerto Rican following in New York. Floyd doesn't have that anywhere in the world. But Floyd's PPV numbers are higher than Cotto's. Granted his opponents typically have bigger names, i.e. Hatton, De La Hoya, Marquez. Mosley and Margarito are the two biggest names Cotto has ever fought. So Cotto does better at the gate, but Floyd does better on PPV. Kinda weird.

                    See, this is what is not making sense to me. PAC has his countrymen in America backing him and his popularity has gone beyond the Fil-American community as well. This was evident to me when I saw PAC at the MGM destroy Hatton.

                    Folks, if y'all listened to the media prior to the PAC-Flattened fight and post-fight all you heard about was the huge turnout of the British fans.

                    Yes, it is true, the British fans far outnumbered the Filipino fans, but, if you included the non-Filipino PAC fans, I would say that PAC fans as a whole was just about neck and neck with the British fans in terms of fan turnout.
