Comments Thread For: Arum: Cotto Will Earn More From Martinez Than Canelo

[-Kev-]

I know that. My point still stands. I don't see why it's so crazy for Cotto to get around 10M out of that.

Dude, HBO takes 10% from every PPV buy, then the major cable companies, Cablevision, Time Warner, Comcast, Charter, Cox, also get their share, which is not peanuts.

Mayweather-De La Hoya sold 2.4million PPV's and $130mill PPV revenue plus $19 million gate revenue, for a total of $150 million dollars. DLH got his $50mill, Mayweather his $30mill. Oh wait a minute, where did the rest of the money go? There's $70 mill left, who took them?

Because Pacquiao is getting less money himself and Bob's keeping the rest. Really aren't too bright are you? Cotto would make more against Canelo but If he wants to lose to Martinez for less money then more power to him.

Of course a promoter would get his cut. He's in business to make money. So is any promoter. Why do u think Floyd's opponents get less? Gbp profit needs to come from somewhere.

This thread isn't even about Mayweather and Pacquiao, the fact that you are bragging because Pacquiao gives away more of his share than Mayweather shows how dumb you and Manny are.

There's Martinez's cut, Arums cut, DiBellas cut, undercard fighters to pay......

Na, every one fighting/working for free, Cotto getting that $10 millie+.

Simple math. Because Floyd takes the lion share If you bring little to the table. Canelo didn't make less money vs Floyd. You keep bringing up what Pacquiao's opponents make like Floyd opponents don't get a cut from PPV buys for all we know Rios doesn't have anything coming on the back end. 4 mil and thats it..you don't know who's making what

He'll earn a more unrelenting beating from Martinez too.

Forreal. I'm not understanding Cotto's logic here. He doesn't do so well against the bigger stronger guys for starters and Martinez is much bigger than Cotto and he hits a lot harder than Trout does..

What happened to mike jones after bailey.

what ever happened to the prospect mike jones? He fought bailey on pac bradley undercard i think and was winning the fight running away the crowd was booing he was winning so easy he opened up a bit trying please the fans and bailey got him. Kid had some skill tho i was sure arum would bring him back

[LouIE G]

I dont know about that...will greedy bob give cotto more then 10mill on the b side??so then martinez would make a career high ,lets say 13-15mill???doesnt sound right to me,...canelo would have been a guarantedd 10mill plus a upside of the ppvs which i believe would generate more ppv buys then martinez vs cotto. Would.....

I think Arum said Jones had either turned down a fight, or is having some kind of promoter issues. It was months back though so I could be wrong..
