Hopkins vs. Wright was 2nd highest grossing ppv this year

[El Gamo]

I personally don't think it's a good thing that this is the second highest. I don't think people who didn't know much about both fighters who saw this would have been that impressed....It's a shame fights like Cotto Judah did not do as well as fights like this as they are far more exciting but other than other hand,Cotto is still young and if he stays unbeaten,he'll be doing big big numbers. He's only 25/26,so the Judah numbers were pretty good.

I think Manny-MAB will do alot of numbers.I hope so,Manny is a fighter who is good for boxing in terms of if a new fan were to watch him,they would find him fun,be impressed imo.

Cotto/Judah, as far as here int he states, had about zero marketing besides during WNF or FNF. That goes for a ton of fights. Hopkins/Wright had a bunch of hype, and they had that HBO 'Countdown' show that was like a shorter version of the 24/7 show they had for the DLH/PBF fight.
What they SHOULD do (which won't happen due to money issues) is put a fight like Cotto/Judah on the undercard so that people who don't know who they are will be able to see who the #! contenders/up and comers are. But i'm sure Cotto or Judah wouldn't like that seeing that they wouldn't be getting paid as much. It's all about marketing and selling the big(ger) names.
