Miguel Cotto is the A-side because Miguel Cotto gets ratings.

What did Canelo ratings do?

[Beercules]

Awesome. It was a good time.

Canelo's 2.1mill rating ****s on Cotto's 1.6mill. Canelo's 20k+ gates do aswell to Cotto's 12k gates. A-side decided.

Only caveat Cotto has, is that Canelo needs him. But Cotto is B-side no question.

Ratings have been huge this year compared to the last few. I hope that lasts as the memory of Mayweather/Pacquiao fades.

[icha]

who was number 2 ???

[kiaba360]

This was expected, Cotto's name rings bells. I'm surprised at HBO's consistent ratings this year, wonder how long it'll last.

Not against Canelo. Canelo got higher PPV buys/ratings vs common fighters such Mayweather and Trout. 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. Canelo has proven he has a bigger fanbase then Cotto.
