Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Firm: Cotto-Canelo Bigger Than Trinidad-DLH

[texasboi15]

wasn't Oscar/Trinidad considered the fight of the century?

Absolutely!

The first pay-per view I ever bought. I remember I was in college (Iowa State go 'clones) a couple of dorm mates and myself all put together to buy it.

Oscar is hitting the yayo hard. Imagine how high he'd be if he had Ellerbee's nostrils?

It was crazy popular for sure. Canelo-Cotto, as far as promotion, exposure, conversations from normal people, it's like this is an underground fight in an unknown fight club type of establishment. Like nobody knows about it, nobody talks about it. This fight should have posters all over Time Square and NYC train stations and be all over basic TV channel commercials, I know it's gonna be in Vegas but still. But it's not? Makes you think GBP is broke and can't afford heavy promotional expenses, or Roc Nation can't afford it? (They ARE the lead promoter right?). This is a great match up, it deserves more promotion. I know about it cause i'm a hardcore fan, but does the normal person who doesn't watch boxing aware of this fight?

well its still august and the fight is in november

It could end up being bigger for Canelo if he wins than it was for Tito, who was never a really big PPV star. Maybe because ODL was robbed. Could propel Canelo as the main PPV draw for the next decade if Floyd isn't going to fight next year. Cinco de Drinko 2016 could be all his and he could lock up the September dates in Vegas going forward as well.

I just hope this fight lives up to the action that Trindad and DLH brought us back then, A fight to remember!

Except for the last quarter of the fight. That ******.

I agree with you on oscar And tito being bigger boxing wise. But this fight will do ver 1 milion buys close to the 2 million. Remember is a Mexican and Rican fighting here.

This cant be compared with tito vs dlh because w didnt have the internet back then, facebook twitter instagram etc where you see the fight everywhere everyday. Before it was just advertised on tv radio and local places like restaurants billboards etc.

This fight will do more than pbf vs berto thats for sure.

that is enough!

he was being sarcastic. that fight turned a lot of people off from buying ppv boxing, particularly when it wasn't at HW.

?


it's a very funny joke, but ?

Oscar vs Tito was prime for prime, unbeaten wrecking machines. Cotto vs Canelo is huge, but it isn't close to that or what the fight meant.
