excuses........

Try again. There is a difference between a HBO backed PPV and a TR close circuit ppv.

Cotto's legacy is set. His prime was at welterweight and he will be a hall of famer regardless. That said he should vacate the title because he is not big enough to fight at 160 without advantages. Stop blocking these other fighters' legacies.

He's just playing the game the way others played it against him.

"Cotto-Malignaggi drew 14,000 fans to the Garden. But HBO’s power was evident in the world of pay-per-view. Tarver-Hopkins did 330,000 buys, while Cotto-Malignaggi scored 60,000."

Woops, the hype train of Cotto debunked

Atleast GGG did 150k for his first ever PPV fight, 60k for a guy who is Puerto Rican those are awful numbers haha!

Let's not kid ourselves here. Not only Judah has already had PPV exposure from his bout with Mayweather, the bout also took place on (or around I forget) the Puerto Rican day parade. They capitalized on EVERYTHING and got 225k.

Compare that to Golovkin, who had no local (Kazakh) following, no big-name opponent who has had PPV exposure and had their event conflict with World Series and college football.

inb4 your 'excuses' statement. Logic is hard, I know.

just as there is a difference between the concessions one has to give to a box office draw (froch, chavez), vs. what concessions one will give to someone who cant draw ants to a picnic.

but its just excuses doe right?

[rasdun]

unless Cotto gets a rematch with Canelo or Mayweather, GGG will obviously be the biggest payday he can get.

If he doesn't want to fight GGG, that's fine. but don't call yourself Middleweight champion then. vacate and announce your intent to return to 154

Be living in amongst Americans
Be Puerto Rican who have big boxing fan base
Only sell 60'000 in first PPV

I just wish Cotto-stans would stop with the excuses.
