    that is a very poor turnout.

    I was also expecting around 30,000 people for the fight just cause its at yankee Stadium.

    13,000 is pathetic. He sold more at the Garden. The Garden seats 20,000 they should have just put it in there.

    I was afraid something like this would have happened

      2010 Cotto can't really sell.
      Right, lets just make sure we add "2010" Cotto so we can say he was the draw against Manny.

        Of all the hardcore Puerto Rican Cotto fans, I got a question for you. Have you ever been to a Miguel Cotto fight live? And also, are you going to this one? Because it seems like some of Cotto's fans are abandoning him. Are you all putting your hope in Juan Ma Lopez and Vasquez Jr?

          Puerto Ricans are great fans, and really drove the sales for Cotto/Pac.

              Why wasn't that good enough for Floyd and his fans who said Cotto wasn't a big enough draw for Floyd? Cotto got destroyed by Margarito, arguably lost against Clottey and then all of a sudden, the PPV success of Pac/Cotto was mostly because of his fans?

              Cotto emerges as a viable opponent for Floyd
              Floyd and his fans claim Cotto is a nobody
              Cotto fights Pacquiao and the fight does over a million
              Floyd and his fans claim it was Cotto who drove the sells.

              Nice spin.

                Arum will spin this in positive light but in reality that number is not very good. Obviously compared to normal boxing venues it will have a bigger attendance than any other fight on US soil but this should of done more. Arum should of put together a real undercard and probably should of saved Miguel in Yankee Stadium for a more known fighter. Cotto V Berto and Lopez V someone decent would of got nearly twice as many people. Either way I'm gonna have a blast and look forward to the experience.

                    Sure. Hell, I'm even curious about Cotto's fans period. Why all of a sudden is he not able to draw the # he used to?

                      You're doing a lot of typing to explain why Floyd sells more than everyone else. But you are boring me.

                      Sorry.
