and even the Pac fans or Floyd haterz have to be real about it. Would Floyd have sold just .2mil more with Cotto? We all know the answer to that. Hell Yes. I mean, people were saying 50/50 when they thought Pac sold over 2mil. Thats not even including the fact that Floyd sold in the Theaters also. One fight was hailed as a joke that wouldnt sell 400,000. Even Roach & Arum said Floyd was an idiot for taking that fight because it wont sell and it will hurt him in negotiating. Then he shocks everyone and does 1mil which is what Shaffer predicted from the jump and everyone said he was crazy.
On the flip side Arum said that Cotto-Pac could break Floyd-Oscar's record. Even just days ago they were putting up these massive numbers and some were arguing which is bigger, Floyd-JMM doing just over 1mil or Cotto-Pac doing around 2 since the Cotto-Pac fight was supposed to be twice as big. Now the Cotto-Pac fight does just .2 more than Floyd-JMM and everyone was hyping this fight up as the biggest of the year, the must see fight, and said the numbers would be crazy. I think even Brian Kenny was saying the other day that they are going to have problems negotating if this fight goes way over 1mil like the Floyd fight did but now it didnt.
Even Roach and those guys the other day were saying 50/50 when they thought Pac had killed Floyd. Now what? This is also with Arum himself saying before the fight that Floyd is a big reason why this fight is selling because he sold massive with JMM and everyone wants to see Pac-Cotto to see how the winner stacks up with Floyd and that they know Pac-Floyd is only 1 fight away. Serious though, you cant be a hater on this. Once again your boy Bob Arum inflated the numbers. Why does he always do that? He always makes people think something is one thing and it ends up being way less, yet he's too stubborn to admit it. The fact is that if things were reversed then you know everyone would be screaming that Pac is the bigger draw.
