Funny how everyone is hating this fight but the weird thing is, no one can stop talking about it. The same people hating are the same people who will spend their hard earned money to see this circus. Ha Ha!!! just enjoy the show and move on...

You can't criticise him for financial smarts. But when it comes to boxing, are you really saying you can't criticise the best fighter in the world for taking on a guy making hes pro debut? Come on dude..

Not when any fighter would do the same, you can't. He'd honestly be ****** not to take it.

For real. Some people around here are totally obsessed with it. I cant understand it. If you don't like the fight, then keep it moving. Why does it bother people so much.? It's not gonna ruin boxing or anything. It's just a show.

No way in hell do they do it then. Cotto will do at leat 400k on free HBO. And you know HBO may just f with Mayweather and do a free preview weekend just for the hell of it.

Mayweather is to smart to do it that date.

This fight is for casuals, casuals won't give a fuck that Cotto is fighting.

Why would he reserve the MGM Grand instead of T-mobile arena?

Honestly there's probably not an ideal date for this fight in 2017 anymore. August will probably be soon to put this fight together and after Sep, you have Joshua-Klit to contend with depending on where that is and then December is too late, people have better things to do.

Mid October is his best bet.

Hard core Cotto fans plus casual Cotto fans will. Not to mention the large PR following he has will tune in to him and not pay for a 100 fight dummy. No one in there right mind would lose 400k eye balls.

Casuals pay to see him lose. This fight doesn't cut it for them. Waste of time and money. They'll see a replay of it on Youtube, of course.

Anyone that knows anything knows the Irish guy has 0 stamina. Nick Diaz gave the guy a boxing lesson come on. For anyone that thinks that one of the greatest fighters boxing has seen and that barley gasses for air during fights is gonna have issues with a guy that wont go past 4 rounds without gassing, is playing there self.

400k? HBO could put any show on and it'd do more than that, they wouldn't be PPV buyers either. Casuals wouldn't watch Cotto fighting some bum if there was nothing else on the TV.
