Why DiBella is wrong, and Cotto-Berto will be nearly impossible to make.

Going into the numbers....(previous post in that thread)

Here is the issue.

There simply isn't enough money to make the fight.

Berto may take 35%. That's possible. But what is HBO gonna put up? 3.5 mill? That would make Berto's pay day $1.25 million, roughly. He made more against Quintana.

You can bet your ass that he's gonna want more money against Cotto than he made against Quintana.

Unless HBO REALLY wants the fight and puts up $4 million for it, I don't see the fight happening.

Fun Fact: Only WCB HBO put up $4 million for(to my knowledge)--Hopkins vs. Calzaghe.

What's sad is that a fan of the sport will spend their time *****ing about fights they don't see without caring to understand why they won't see them.

People are so sad with that ****, "oh it's not your money" blah blah. We're boxing fans and things like money, and ppv buys have a direct impact on what fights we get to see.

For better or worse these things matter, now grow up.

Sure if you like arguing about things that go agianst your own intrests as a boxing fan.

I don't buy PPV's to watch boxers count their money now do I?

By The way Berto deserves 25%- 30% tops. He cant draw flies to ****, Cotto is the 3rd biggest draw in the sport. Berto doesnt have any saying on the matter, he either takes whats given to him or **** off.
