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

Maybe he should get Martinez onboard and make it a double main event.

Look TR had Bradleyt in the semi main last manny ppv. He looked dominant agaisnt an old name at a weight he never fought. Then he called out manny and now they fight on ppv. This has been a TR staple for years. It works well.

Manny/Bradley will move units because of how TR put last card together. It likely won't do 1.25 like the floyd Ortiz fight. But it's not a big deal.

No matter what way you cut it, Manny deserves anywhere from 30-40% split. If manny continues to use accepting full random OST to get 50/50 thats BS. If floyd offers anything under this range it's BS.

Manny should demand, VADA testing, I think Floyd could be micro doping, and he knew USADA tests could not catch him.

No wonder Floyd didn't want to petition the commission.

Fine with me. Use whatever the best random OST is for the fight. Split the money according to the numbers and fight.

Maybe not fine with Floyd he may have to cycle off.

If he uses USADA again next time out we will know he is still cycling off.

These are REAL numbers people

Manny wants 50/50 in exchange for random OST. Unfortunately for Manny, with Petersen getting caught, the type of OST floyd wants may become mandatory so Manny/Bob can't use that as a negotiating tool anymore.

My guess is they fight and manny gets 30-40%, Floyd has done 4 mil ppv's with ODH/Cotto combined. Manny's best 2 don't even make 3 mil. Manny's gotta take what he's worth.

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.

Great numbers for those who know boxing!

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.

Fine he can cycle off and so can manny. The point is Manny's ability to leverage random OST for a 50/50 split has been reduced significantly. WIth this hoepfully out of the way, the money can be split based purely on the numbers and we can have a fight.

[Pocket Dogs!]

Pac can command a million draws with a dance partner that isn't popular or has a loyal fan base.

And that my friend is the truth.

[GRUSTLER]

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.

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.
