Floyd hit a Million after 2 years...REALISTICALLY, what should Cotto Pac do??

On the way up, Floyd's management (ahem) had him fight in Portland (Sharmba), in Miami (bruseles) , in Grand rapids, etc. You move the fighter around to gain visibility in different geographic markets. Now, FMJ is reaping the rewards of that investment.
Cotto and Gatti stayed close to home, and close to their natural fanbases. That is fine to pack out the house that night...but how does that build your future? Resultingly, Cotto and Gatti remained regional fighters.Comment

It will really depend on the 24/7. No one really gave a sit about JMM PBF until they saw that JMM was border line insane, training in chambers, mountains and drinking his piss, couple that with the weekend of a national holiday for a people that have been carrying boxing PPVs for years and you have success. Int he same token Calzaghe vs Jones was by far the most boring 24/7 yet and it did bad numbers. HBO will have to work overtime, to make this 24/7 interesting. Both guys are way too quiet.
The best 24/7 was Mayweather-Hatton. It also had some of the highest ratings. That fight had everything:
boxer vs brawler
black vs white
american vs foreigner
arrogant vs humble
etc...
...and both guys were Undefeated, and HBO made it seem as if Hatton had a HUGE shot. It made Hatton look like a monster.
May-Marq 24/7 wasn't as highly rated. And, despite all that, May-Marq is gonna end up doing 20% more sales than May-Hatt.Comment

If Americans know Pac and Cotto then 800kmill
If most don't and the Mexicans, Peauorto Ricans and Filipinos buy then 750k.
If both then 1.5+ Mil
Without GBp involved then maybe the promo won't be as good. The fact they both don't speak english well in 24/7 might make it funny.
Pac better eat some dog penis and Cotto better have an orgy otherwise lolComment

I will have to disagree on part of this.
