If Cotto can become a superstar why can't Loma and Crawford

[Mister Wolf]

Thanks for bringing up east coast I forgot about that. But what about Floyd? It's not like basketball is that much bigger compared to six years ago. Floyd became a superstar.

It took years for Floyd to get to that level. He had to universally be considered the best fighter in the world with no opposition to the title.

He was a super star by the age of 26. Crawford is 30

Becuae Puerto Ricans are second o ly yo mexican fans in terms of supporting their fighters. If Puerto Rico was as big as mexico Cotto would have been the biggest draw in the sport this past 10 years.

here we go with the "if puerto rico was as big as mexico" garbage

Once again, for the millionth time, Mexico may be bigger than Puerto rico in land mass, of course, but boxing is more popular in PR than it is in Mexico. SOCCER is Mexico's main sport, while in Puerto Rico boxing is king. No excuses lmao

But anyway, Latinos make up the largest boxing market, plain and simple. There's no catching up to us at this point

They might become superstars. Give it some more time. They are both great fighters and seem to be getting better with every fight. They are in their primes but still fairly young. Big fights are coming for both of them.

They should be fighting 4 times a year

TC and Loma both need "names" to fight and they haven't had that. Mikey would be a great start for Loma and TC would just need to clear out the names at 147...although none of them have much of a following.

TC v Khan would be huge for him tbh as Khan is still highly recognisable and a draw.

[Dr Rumack]

I don't know, are either of them Puerto Rican?

[SplitSecond]

Loma probabley just needs time. Crawford needs to fight better guys, although honestly both would benefit from better opposition and promoting.

[Sp0rty Cr@ig]

Crawford is a black American. Their fanbase only go for fighters that hang out with rappers, make it rain in clubs, act ignorant.

Loma is Ukrainian & small.

Also Cotto was a killer in the ring coming up. Very fan friendly style

HBO and Top Rank pumped a lot of money into Cotto
The 140-154 divsions are always the most popular
And Cotto is hispanic.
