    Cotto is such a huge star compared to ggg....false!

    ggg-monroe attendance 12,300

    cotto-geale attendance 12,100

    ggg purse for monroe:1.5 million

    cotto purse for geale: 2 million

    ggg-monroe peak ratings: 1.47 million

    cotto-rodriguez peak ratings: 1.55 million

    are we as boxing fans living in our own bubbles where we are slow to accept change? maybe people won't buy a ggg ppv? you could say the same about cotto because cotto only fights on ppv when he has a name opponent. so if cotto knows that you need a big name opponent to have a ppv why don't the fans?

    also some people proclaim amir khan is one of boxing biggest stars but look at his last fight. 770k viewers, 7k attendance, 1 million purse. am i missing something? should i follow the numbers or what fans say? is cotto a mega star while ggg is a nobody? is khan a huge star that just doesn't attract any fans/money?

          Are you really trying to compare GGG STATUS to cottos?

            Stop it. You will not win this battle.

            The odds of you winning are greater than the average of GGGs opponents

                  Its true Cotto is not a huge draw as people make him out to be

                  And Khan is just down right delusional,Broner is a bigger draw then him

                    Cotto's career in a nutshell -- HoF bound

                    GGG's career in a nutshell -- still chasing WW and Jr. MW

                    Daniel Geale -- a tune up for Cotto

                    Daniel Geale -- GGG's greatest pro accomplishment

                    Cotto at 34 -- fourth weight class

                    Golovkin at 33 -- still in his first class

                    Cotto keeps -- moving up in class and beating guys bigger than him

                    Golovkin keeps -- running away from Ward and guys who would represent challenges

                    Cotto's MW accomplishments -- in two fights greater, than GGGs MW resume

                    Golovkin's MW accomplishments -- hinges on beating a washed up former Jr. WW

                    Cotto will always be -- greater than GGG

                    Golovkin will always be -- a flash in the pan

                    Cotto/GGG will look like -- Garcia/Matthyse
