I know it wont happen since both HBO and Showtime don't want to go head to head on PPV buys, but what if Cotto/Canelo PPV card was on September 13th the same date Mayweather fights his annual September fight?? I think this will really tell us Boxing fans how much we love Mayweather. I can honestly say that a Cotto/Canelo megafight will cripple Mayweather's PPV big time. Mayweather has been exploiting the Mexican holidays to sell his PPV's, smart business move by his team since they use the De La Hoya blueprint to sell PPV's but the truth is that if a better meaningful megafight comes along it will really speak on how much of a PPV star Floyd is.
A Cotto/Canelo fight will add another chapter to the Puerto Rican and Mexican boxing rivalry and the fight is bigger now since Cotto defeated Martinez, Canelo can grab a belt at 160lb and become a 2 time division champ. I will assume that Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and the latino viewer will watch this instead of Mayweather
A Mayweather/Garcia,Maidana or even Khan are also good fights but I doubt the Boxing fans will want to watch these fights over Cotto/Canelo unless they stacked the undercard heavy.
What do you guys think who gets the edge if both fights were held on September 13th?? which fight will sell more and how many PPV buys does each card generate. This is not a Mayweather bashing thread, its just a interesting scenario.
