But don't pretend that the fight would sell more tickets and PPV's than an Oscar fight, because it's not even close. DLH could fight me and more people would tune in than to see Floyd fight Cotto. Sucks, but it's definetly the way it is.Originally Posted by Puya
At this point a fight between Floyd and Cotto is Bigger and lucrative than any fight Oscar could be involved unless he fights Tito at 160 or something
I will stick to my statement. seriouslyOriginally Posted by Taeth
I disagree, in the boxing public it would be bigger, but Oscar hit a bag for twelve rounds and make more money than these two combined. He is by far the biggest draw in boxing, and a fight between him and Cotto would make at least 3 times as much as a fight with Mayweather vs Cotto. Cotto isn't as popular as Hatton, he needs a Dela Hoya or Mayweather fight to truly put him on the world map. However I think him fighting Oscar or Mayweather is dangerous because of them would beat him IMO. Oscar is bigger, better chin, faster, great left hook and jab. MAyweather is just too quick, too good defensively for Cotto, and down the stretch I could even see MAyweather really hurting Cotto.Originally Posted by Puya

Maybe it's bigger and more lucrative in Puerto Rico, but it's nowhere near half as big in the rest of the world.
