Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

[Spoon23]

It was projected 2 million coz schaefer thinks floyd and Mosely can pull in 1million, and Canelo, Cotto can pull in 1 million which makes 2million.

That said 1.5 means, 500k was the bulk of the Floyd fans.

1 million for sure were ricans and mexicans and mosely diehards. Sad but Floyd is losing his luster..

Less than 2million shows he really ain't pulling numbers.

Too many stars in there just to come up with a measly 1.5ppv.

What we need to realize is that losing to pac was a blessing and a curse for cotto.

A curse because he got absolutely dismantled and has had to live with the mental and physical scars since then

A blessing because fighting pac generated a huge amount of extra interest in his career even though he got manhandled from all possible angles


My breakdown of the 1.5 million attributable to the fight is

Mosley - 10,000
Canelo - 90,000
Cotto - 400,000
Floyd - 1 million



Contrast that to manny's last fight with Marquez, where you have possibly Bradley and Marquez contributing at most 50k to the pay per view totals. That means Manny accounted for a minimum of 1.3 million buys


Floyd and GBP have carefully stacked the event, and taken advantage of using Manny's leftovers to sell a fight and generate just enough to beat Pac's last fight [by only about 75k] -

But when you break it down, Manny still accounts for more than Floyd.

lol this Floyd groupies are down playing mexico's rising star and Puertoricans Peope's champ again. These Floyd fan boys are really much in love with floyd they can't see clearly Geez.....

Cinco De mayo, Mexicans = mexicans hype for their boy Canelo

Ricans = Cotto is our champ! win or lose he is our champ

Mosely = loyal fans compiled through the years

these stars alone pulls in 1 million.

the rest is Floyd. Be proud of the 500k Floyd pulled in.

Be proud mayweather groupies..

never understood that logic if it's that simple then why wouldn't Toprank stack their PPV cards

[LoadedWraps]

Do you really believe that???????

Believe what you like, the truth doesn't change.

[Biolink]

Canelo, Cotto, Mosely alone should pull 1million plus.

That said it just means the 1.5 million buys if you divided the viewers who payed for their fighter.

I think 1million are routing for Cotto and Canelo (Puertoricans/Mexicans a like)

Then the 500k is routing for Floyd and Mosely..

Sad really, just shows Floyd's pulling power nowadays.

This is a disapointment.

You are seriously tweaking out if you think THAT does a million buys. Cotto-Macheato 2 did 600k PPV buys, and that was with build up drama, and Macheato isn't exactly a small deal in the Mexican community either. I'd say maybe closer to 800k views(If there was a major rise at all). Also the people that would be ordering this would to some degree follow the sport. I don't see where you get off believing people haven't seen Shane Mosley look like ass his last 3-4 fights. He'd basically be a none factor.

I'm sure you couldn't get the most die hard Shane fan to order specifically for him.

[LoadedWraps]

If everyone who crowded into a Theater bought the PPV individually, it would have been about 2.

Then there are the "I am not paying for X fight because of Y" -like anyone cares about their agenda or protest- people. All that defiance then they just beg for streams on the day of the event.

[Goldie]

Exactly what I've been trying to say.

I think that you're severely overrating the success that Cotto had with his jab. While he did catch Mayweather several times, he wasn't landing it with any consistency. It wasnt Cotto's offense that was the most impressive, it was his defense. Obviously Cotto at 54 was probably the strongest opponent of Floyd's career so his punches probably hurt more, but he landed at basically the same rate as all of Floyd's opponents. The difference was that he was able to lower Mayweather's accuracy. Mayweather only landing 26% of his punches even though he had a clear reach advantage was the biggest surprise to me.

Are you kidding me? In round 8 Cotto landed his jab three times in a row and caused Mayweathers nose to do something we haven't seen in years, which is bleed. When have you ever seen somebody catch May that many times with their jab?
