which of this fights would earn better in ppv and ticket sales?

pac vs cotto which is an exciting fight to watch because that's 2 of the most exciting fighters in the world right now. or..
pac vs pbf because it's the most anticipated fight between the past and current p4p#1.

hmmmnnn.... difficult question... could be more or less the same sales...

I would have to say Cotto vs Pac will earn the best as its guaranteed to be a war, both fighters have the heart of a lion and and carry the weight of there countries on there shoulders. Both fighters give everything in the ring and always guarantee action.

i disagree... Pac v Mayweather

its not even a competition to be honest

the common man doesn't know miguel cotto. more people know pbf and if they don't they will by fight night with his mouth.

pac vs pbf draws bigger #'s easily, people wanna see who the true p4p is

That is exactly right. Exactly. A more concise estimate of PPV numbers has never, ever been forumulated.

This should prolly be in teh pac section, since all you care about is pac.

Calm down.:)

Pacquiaio - PBF and it's not ever close. That is the definition of a mega fight. Cotto isn't nearly as well known as Mayweather and a fight between him and Pacquiao just doesn't hold the same interest as a fight between two fo the best fighters... well, ever (to use the term "best" somewhat loosely).

Pac-Cotto would earn more because of the fan base. It will be similar to Pac-Hatton festivity without the stupid "hatton wonderland" singing.

Cotto's fanbase is nowhere near comparable to Hatton's.

Pac vs PBF would be the bigger fight. One of the main reasons why it will bigger then Cotto vs Pac is that PBF will be the bad guy again and alot of people want to see his mouth shut once and for all and I'm sure 24/7 will play it to a tee. Plus all the Mayweathers will be talking smack toward Freddy Roach again. Controversy sells and Pac vs Cotto will not have that because both are very humble fighters. The only reason that Cotto vs Pac would sell is because both have huge followings in there countries. And Pac vs PBF will place the best offense vs the best defense etc.

Easily Pac/Floyd absolutely 100%! EVERYONE would buy it!

I can't believe this is even a debate?!

Pacquiao vs Mayweather would be the biggest fight, historically, since De La Hoya vs Trinidad.

Pac vs Cotto will probably provide the bigger thrills but Mayweather is WAY MORE mainstream than Cotto is.

I thought it was a poll?

Pacquiao vs Cotto is a better match of styles that promises to be a more exciting fight to watch than a Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight. I would buy both fights.

While Pacquiao vs Mayweather is a tantalizing question to anyone around the sport of boxing, people outside the sport may be antithetic and more interested in the celebrities that show up to watch the fight and atmosphere that goes with it. No one really knows how fights transcend the sport and become super mega draws.

The question will go unanswered unless there is a Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight.

Inside the boxing world there is no question that more people know who Mayweather is than know Cotto. Outside of the boxing world, I'm not so sure that either of them are known that much. Puerto Rico is very small place but if you ask a Puerto Rican on the streets who Cotto is and they could probably tell you.

My guess is that Mayweather vs Pacquiao is a bigger PPV attraction because of the hypothetical spin other sports figures/commentators will talk about. (i.e. free marketing hype) In addition there are multiple promoters out there selling. While with Cotto vs Pacquiao, Top Rank has to put in more tangible marketing in to get them talking about Cotto and Pacquiao's bid to win an historic 7th weightclass title. Making Cotto a more attractive opponent from in record book stand point.

If you don't know who Cotto is, are you really in "the boxing world"? I don't think so.

Yes... valid point for the avid boxing fan.

Are there not fans that gravitate to the sport because of fighter "X" (a variety of reasons) but don't really follow boxing? example: there are probably plenty of causal fans that followed Sugar Ray Leonard or say Oscar De La Hoya because they won a Gold medals but have never heard of Cotto. These people are only around boxing when fight "X" is involved.

An example of someone outside the sport might be: Sometimes people get excited and decide to have a social gathering and use a mega fight as the center piece. I have friends that really care nothing about football and do this for a big game. If there is enough buzz, this type of stuff happens.

That is what you call a casual sports fan. The kind of person who has a suburban house, takes shit from his wife, has just a few drinks and makes an ass of himself. Talks about a prime Mike Tyson..... :rolleyes:

Now these people watch MMA for the "Sport fix."
