Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Cotto Generates 1.5 Million Buys, $94 Million

[The Big Dunn]

pac has spoken. he's firm on his 50/50 stance. pbf should be grateful for that. pac is the megastar, not pbf, alvarez and mosley combined.

mayweather can take on martinez if he wants to. i have no problem with that. if he's scared of martinez, he can take on khan. i don't care.

Pac's stance is based on random OST. He wants 50/50 split to take random OST. Face it dude, since the 3rd biggest fight this quarter got cancelled because of a positive test, manny's stand is pointless.

Manny deserves 30-40%. He should take it and just fight. Its clear to the world he hasn''t sold enough for 50/50.

How did you come to this notion? In the article it says Floyd holds the highest PPV record for a non heavy weight fight for both Oscar and Cotto. Pac was never mentioned. Pac never did and most likely never will do 1.5Mil without Mayweather and that is a fact I'm willing to bet on. Pacquiao/Bradley will not do more so that is just wishful thinking.

If Pacquiao/Bradley does 1.5 million buys then Pacquiao absolutely deserves 50/50. But if Pacquiao/Bradley does less than 1 million, Floyd deserves 55%-60% of PPV money.

To ask for 50/50 against Floyd now, Pacquiao is going to have to produce legit ppv numbers, and not an estimated number, and he's going to have to sell 2.something just to hold a conversation. Floyds has done all that he could to make the Pacquiao fight regardless of what his naysayers say.

Frank Bruno could have had some big PPV fights if he had Tyson on his undercard.

Cotto vs Mayweather buys will disappoint GBP who were expecting 2m buys.

With everything this fight had going for it and it can only top 1.5m.

That is the most Floyd can do, he can't do no more without Pacquiao. That is a fact, and still it needed help from Canelo.

If Pacquiao vs Bradley does 1.5m then everyone has to except Pacquiao is the biggest draw in the sport, the argument would be dead.

[The Big Dunn]

Yeah Tim Bradley top boxer that he is, is no draw, Martinez ain't a big as draw as Canelo but add Martinez to a Pacquiao card and he does 1.5m easy, don't even need no Mexican holiday for it.

If Pacquiao vs Bradley does 1.5m will you accept the fight has to be 50/50 for Pacquiao?

Even though that proves Pacquiao deserves more.

You have no idea how much the fight would sell. STop it.

If it does, that would mean Manny should get about 45-48%, which is what he should've got before the floyd/cotto fight.

You like to factor in things that don't matter. All that matters is the numbers sold. Period.

Pacquiao/Bradley still hasn't generated a huge buzz. They probably will do 1.2Mil. Pac looked weak against Marquez and lost some hype while Bradley hasn't really established himself as a PPV fighter yet. Factor in that people think Bradley is not a challenge makes it unlikely that the event generates 1.5MIL. 24/7 ain't going to help either. I definitely think it will do more than the Clottey fight but not by much though. None of Pac's fights with Oscar, Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, Mosley and Pac's 3rd fight with Marquez didn't even make it to 1.5MIL and I am supposed to believe he will do it with Bradley? I would be highly surprised if it did.

I do, got Floyd's numbers spot on.

So Pacquiao does 1.5m with Bradley, you will demand Floyd to accept 50/50.

Deal.

For the record I think you on safe ground.

[Frank Ducketts]

Just as I predicted, Floyd ain't big as draw as Pacquiao. I said 1.5m and thats what it did.

Floyd fought the 3rd biggest PPV boxer in Cotto, who just did 600k, he fought on Cinco de mayo, one of, if not the biggest boxing day of the year, he had Alvarez, on the undercard, who is Mexico's next big thing and their Golden Boy plus all the marketing and promotions for this fight.

And Floyd could only do 1.5m buys.

Damn, just replace Floyd with Pacquiao and the event does close to 2m buys.

If Pacquiao vs Bradley does more, it will just be embarrassing for Floyd.

Maybe GBP will have to get Khan on a Floyd undercard in future to help him keep pace with Pacquiao.

We never found out what Pacquiao/Cotto truly did ppv wise, but I know this. PACQUIAO COTTO didn't do 1.5, lmao!

So if 1.5MIL is a disappointment, what will you say when Pacquiao/Bradley does waaay less than that? This means you agree that Floyd is the biggest PPV star in boxing correct? So if Pacquiao don't make 1.5MIL, what does that make him to you?

[Frank Ducketts]

Pacquiao Bradley will do 1.7 because Arum said so.
