I'll the the first to say that and it's true. By the way, Oscar would make more money off of fighting Cotto, being as that Cotto won't demand as much pay on his side of the bargain, AND hard core fans would back up this pay per view.

WRONG. OScar will not make as much fighting Cotto as he will fighting Floyd, that's rediculous. Its true that they would get away with paying Cotto less than they would Floyd, but they aren't going to generate near the PPV revenue and ticket sales that a Oscar/PBF rematch will. Floyd Mayweather is a house hold name now. Cotto, outside of Puerto Rico, is not. Floyd generates more interest because he is the perfect badguy to oppose ODLH, the perfect good guy. People hate Floyd and will tune in to watch ODLH try to avenge the loss.

With Cotto you get someone the general public really has no opinion on, and due to his lack of English and generally calm demeanor really doesn't do much to sell a fight for the general public.

The hardcore boxing fans are not enough to support a fight, as most of them are just reading PbPs, watching it on Sopcast or downloading it from a website afterwards.
