Comments Thread For: Cotto-Geale Third Highest-Rated Cable Fight of 2015

[JakeNDaBox]

With a mouthwatering showdown versus Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez waiting in the wings, Miguel Cotto did his part both in the ring and on the dial. The Puerto Rican superstar enjoyed a triumphant return to New York and regular HBO, as his 4th round knockout of Daniel Geale on June 6 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn pulled in an average of 1.589 million viewers, peaking at 1.621 million viewers.

The total surpassed Cotto’s previous HBO appearance, when his 3rd round stoppage of Delvin Rodriguez in Oct. ’13 played to 1.555 million viewers for the highest rated boxing telecast of 2013. Saturday’s headliner versus Geale is good for the third-highest rated premium cable bout of 2015, with only Alvarez and Wladimir Klitschko enjoying better ratings. [Click Here To Read More]

Oh don't be so salty please. You read positive new about your favourite did great number and then your firs move to leave a salty comment in the comment thread?
You know what? I don't give a fuck if Canelo is the A side or the B the point is that the fight will be made. Leave to the fighters and their managers/promoters to decide "who is the A side" you're not his manager or promoter and not the fighter (I guess) so the only thing you should do in this situation is to sit back and wait for the fight but it's meaningless to get salty about Canelo's ratings were better.

This just proves that Canelo is the A side if they fight not Cotto. Canelo got higher PPV buys/ratings vs common fighters such Mayweather. And his last HBO fight on Kirkland got much higher ratings then Cotto did this weekend. His fight also attracted a much higher gate. Cotto didn't even sell out the Barclays. Canelo did like 30,000 in attendance and filled out a ball park. Trout embarrassed Cotto in MSG in front of like 12-13,000 while Canelo beat Trout in front of 40,000. Canelo has proven he has a bigger fanbase then Cotto and is the bigger box office draw. Unless your name is Mayweather and maybe Pacquiao you are not an A side when you fight Canelo.
