Comments Thread For: Cotto Making Moves, Pumped For Mayweather Press Tour

That would be Cotto's highest payday I believe. Not bad.

i thought it was 15 Million, but I could be wrong.

Should be an interesting 24/7 if Floyd keeps it "civil."

I think Floyd's angle will be to build Cotto up, and to say that Cotto has never really lost a fair fight. Margarito is assumed by most to have cheated in Cotto 1, and we already know what Mayweather thinks of Pacquiao above 130lbs and making Cotto fight at a catchweight. I don't really see how he can bash Cotto without referring to the 2 fights I already mentioned, and in doing that he is giving credit to two fighters he calls cheaters.

I think it will be civil, and the only arguing/animosity will be the standard "You say you will beat me, but when we get in the ring it will be different" kind of stuff coming from Floyd. I think they will be confident that a lot of Puerto Rican fans will buy PPVs, so they might not need to go over the top to do a hard sell.

They should be able to get an episode (or at least Floyd's half of an episode) out of each of the following without the need for trash talking with Cotto:

1) Ortiz fight
2) Legal issues
3) Family drama with Sr & Roger, etc

If I remember correctly wasn't it Mayweather who said Cotto was basically still undefeated because of plaster and PEDs/wrap stacking? Or someone in Mayweather's camp. Anyway I think Mayweather does have profound respect for Cotto but will still throw in those jabs here and there in 24/7. As I said already, right now he's in full villain mode. People all around the world hate him and he might just have to thrive on that for this one.

i can see cotto making between 9 and 12 million for this fight.
and floyd hit like 20 to 25 mill

Going to be good seeing these two face to face. Can't believe Cotto made a deal where he doesn't know exactly how much he is going to make. I guess if's cool if it works for him.

He doesn't know how much he's going to make because it's impossible to predict how many PPV buys the fight will generate.

I agree and for Cotto's half of the episode, they'll talk about:

1)His family loyalty (father passing, kids and wife etc.)
2)Both Marg fights and Pac fight
3)Ortiz fight as well to get his take on the whole thing

Excited for this fight, too bad it didn't happen 4 years ago but hey better late than never. I see Floyd winning a decision, but it not being an easy night.

The only move Cotto needs to make is to move out of boxing and retire into another country! He's gna get spanked by the greatest technical and defensive fighters of this er! So do wtvr u want Mr. Cotto ur gna see sta

mayweather doesnt respect his own father or women for that matter, he

doesnt respect some fighter he doesnt know or care about..

cotto was a warrior, but his physical prime has passed along with wars, wear

and tear and margacheato ruining him.

floyd will have no problem picking cotto apart with precision pot shotting

it will be a wide ud, boring, just like against jmm and an old shane, floyd

dominated those fights but they were boring... i mean how can floyd land

200 right hands on shane and not even buzz him?

either way, ppvs will lack and most buys will come from alvarez...

you wont find floyd robbing me for this ppv..

After the fight, whoever said that from the Mayweather camp will be saying Cotto's still undefeated because of xylocaine.
