I think you guys are underestimating Cotto's followers and Chavez jr followers, to me Cotto has the second best highest amount of followers next to mayweather.
I expect 40k in the stadium and 1.2 million PPV, Cotto & Foreman had 1.3 million HBO watch in two days. I think this fight will do better than PAC vs Marg.
That fight will do well. Miguel Cotto is a very big draw.
He mega'd HBO viewers against a cantor.
My thing, which i find kind of funny that people are not considering is that it is taking place in Texas for one and at the Cowboys stadium for two. There is a huge Mexican contingency in TX and as always, the Stadium itself is gonna be a draw. Cotto could draw at least 500K buys on TV by himself alone, which you alluded to. Throw in the fact that he is fighting Chavez Jr, the Mexican people will flock in to see the fight and then you have the PR/Mexico rivalry to go along with it all. The fight will do really decent numbers, guaranteed!!
