Comments Thread For: Arum: Cotto vs. Marquez is Tough To Make, They've Been Spoiled!

[mapleleaf27]

I know there are a lot of Haymon Haters out here, but let's think about it for a second. If we're getting Thurman vs. Porter for free on CBS, should we pay for Cotto vs. Marquez? Should we have to pay for Crawford vs. Postol? Really? There are 2 PPV worthy fights: GGG vs. Canelo and Kovalev vs. Ward. Is there any other fight worthy of a PPV event in 2016?

You hit the nail on the head. smart comment. Boxing is a niche sport, we love it but there are not enough fans / sponsors to justify the amounts these fighters want to make in this era.

Don't feel bad, you're not alone. I paid for Canelo vs. Khan!

lol, you are a bigger fan than I! I streamed that one haha

Look it's just better to get them guys out the way..and let the new hungry breed come through....goodbye to mayweather, pacquaio, cotto and marquez...it's done , finished, closed book...the new hungry breed like crawford,spence,joshua,frampton,loma,kovalev and even the wards and golovkins are happy making 4 or 5 million are the ones who should be pushed forward now and forget the old guard ...boxing is changing its guard and so should the fans and the t.v stations as well....I'm looking forward to heavyweight era beczuse things will start to heat up pretty soon

Thank you for saying this. We always hear Mayweather need to retire but people are welcoming back Marquez and he hasn't fought in two years. Mayweather retired on top of his game and would still be favored to beat any fighter at welterweight. Marquez and Cotto are done. They don't want to fight anyone of significance so they should retire.

go ahead, man.

jmm and bum, nah son.

I really, really do not want to see this fight. I already had to sit through Cotto beating the dog **** out of one cripple who I liked, I don't need to see it again.

Cotto is going to drain himself at 147 to face a steroid-head who hasn't fought in years and has done nothing significant since lightweight besides fight Pacquiao... and is 43???

Apart from the PPV sales because of Mayweather and Pacquiao... and little numbers he did against Barrera because of Barrera... what has Marquez done on his own to make himself think he's a PPV attraction?

Pointless fight where a promoter is trying to just put two names together...

Another reason that UFC is a superior product.. the next guy in line gets the shot in the UFC or he'll get the shot after 1 interim-fight at the most...

Boxing, you'll be lucky once a year to see a clear 1 fight the clear 2 in a division ever..

Maybe - Kova v. Ward will happen if Ward is finally done cherry-picking for years now... boxing is all about names vs. names.

You are a turd of a poster.

A typical dopey pacstain.

Cotto and jmm deserve big money but cotto gets the lion share he's been a ppv star jmm hasn't
