Then why did 700,000 people watch it live on Showtime in the US, plus however many watched live on Showtime Anytime?
Peterson was a fellow world champion in Spence's division when Spence agreed to fight him. Maybe you're being overly negative in your assessment of the situation?Fighting a shot Pederson instead Of Cotto Is pathetic....
Spence would have had to sign a long term exclusive promotional agreement with Golden Boy in order to fight Cotto. Why would he do that when all of the top talent at welterweight and super welterweight are with Haymon?
I don't work for PBC.Go tell that to your PBC bosses...Comment

Takes a special kind of piece of **** to pretend people wanted the pederson fight......
Are you using those numbers to suggest less people would have watched a Cotto fight??

This is ownage. Well played.Nobody cared about Spence vs. Peterson?
Nobody cares about Wilder vs. King Kong?
Nobody cares about Garcia vs. Lipinets?
Nobody cares about Lara vs. Hurd?
Nobody cares about Stevenson vs. Jack?
Nobody cares about Santa Cruz vs. Mares?
Nobody cared about Charlo vs. Lubin?
Nobody cared about Hurd vs. Trout?
Nobody cared about Benavidez vs. Gavril?
Nobody cared about Broner vs. Garcia?
Nobody cared about Easter vs. Shafikov?
Nobody cared about Brook vs. Spence?
Nobody cared about Charlo vs. Hatley?
Nobody cared about Thurman vs. Garcia?
Nobody cared about Frampton vs. Santa Cruz?
Nobody cared about Degale vs. Jack?
These are just fights from the last year off the top of my head that people on this site seemed pretty interested in and didn't consider mismatches.Comment

Fewer people would have watched the Cotto fight because it would have been on pay-per-view.
But no, I wasn't using the numbers to suggest that the public was more interested in Spence vs. Peterson than they would have been in Cotto vs. Spence. Obviously, Cotto vs. Spence would have been a much bigger fight than Spence vs. Peterson.
That doesn't mean it would have been wise to take the Cotto fight considering the onerous restrictions that fight required. Spence is aligned with PBC. PBC controls the WBC, WBA and IBF titles in his current weight class and also controls the WBC, WBA and IBF titles in his future weight class.
To sign a long term, exclusive, promotional agreement with Golden Boy to get the Cotto fight would have been extremely short sighted. Let's say he beats Cotto. Now he's WBO champion at 154. Then what? He'd be blocked from ever unifying. If he wanted to go back down to 147, he'd be blocked from fighting for a title.
Which fights would Golden Boy have gotten him? Their stable is barren. They have Canelo and little else.
PBC offers fights with Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Jessie Vargas, Shawn Porter, Andre Berto, Devon Alexander, etc, before moving up to face the big dogs at 154, all of which are with PBC as well.
Which fighter has ever left PBC and had it lead to big fights? Jacobs left to go chase GGG & Canelo, but so far he's only fighting opponents nobody cares about. And I'm not blaming Jacobs for leaving, he was in a weight class HBO controlled, that Haymon had no control of.
But a fighter at 147 jumping to HBO? When PBC controls 147 *and* 154? Would be completely idiotic.Comment

I swear you're not even trying to pretend to be some regular fan...Fewer people would have watched the Cotto fight because it would have been on pay-per-view.
