Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Potentially on His Way Back To HBO?

[JmH Reborn]

Well...there goes watching Cotto/Maidana, the only fight I've been dying to see for awhile now

[rey guey]

showtime doesn't have the money to pay cotto. they lost around $12 million on mayerweather vs guerrero, which came out of the showtime boxing budget. that's like a 3rd of their budget gone. that's probably why schaefer is trying to put garcia vs matthysse on the mayweather vs canelo ppv. even out the outrageous price of $75 i bet will at least break even. showtime and gbp are on a tight budget, they got the hype but paid a lot to get it.

Cotto knows he made the wrong switch to showtime!

Cotto against winner os berto/soto karass...but first an easy fight

[rey guey]

martinez is out until mid next year. cotto will need a tune up before that. k9's good for that. hbo has the money and any cotto fight will bring in the ratings.

For Showtime he set the record for them, like I stated. HBO has beaten both those numbers before with Cotto, the Foreman fight for instance.

Saturday night's HBO-televised, ninth-round knockout by Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto that dethroned Brooklyn resident, Yuri Foreman, as WBA junior middleweight (154 pounds) champion and earned Cotto a fourth belt in his third weight class was the cable network's highest rated boxing main event of the year.

The clash of 29-year-olds featuring Cotto (35-2, 28 knockouts) and Foreman (28-1, eight KOs) was the first-ever fight to be held at the new Yankee Stadium in The Bronx.

The event earnied a 3.9 broadcast rating. Coupled with a Sunday morning replay, the fight was watched by about 1.9 million viewers, HBO has announced.

HBO > Showtime, at least for a little while longer.

only because Pac and Mayweather Fight on PPV

and canelo beat trouts ass the same one that beat cotto with his jab

What's that have to do with anything? No one's implying he's the biggest draw in the sport, but he's the clear #3 right now.

Beat Trout's ass? He won, but he didn't beat Trout's ass. Let's see if he can hang with Mayweather like Cotto did.

Cotto won 3 rounds vs Floyd lol wtf are you babbling about

[Slyboots]

I just hope he doesn't move up to 160. He barely has any business at 154 as it is.

Cotto needs to drop back to WW....more money and better fights there.
