Who's gonna sell more PBF-JMM or PAC-COTTO?

[LEGION]

Pac - Cotto and it won't even be close.

Ditto.

I won't buy Mayweather/JMM, I'll find a stream. I will buy Pac/Cotto though just to put a little more $$$ in their pockets.

Why am I having a bad flashback with this thread subject title?

My guess is JMM / PBF will not sell out at the gate 3/4 to 4/5, unless devoted fans of Chris John and Rocky Juarez take up the space. I wouldn't recommend scalping any tickets. But it should do well in PPV's breaking 300K mark. If it breaks 400K, it's a very successful fight.

Unfortunately as great a boxer as Marquez is, I don't think he has the nationalistic fan base enjoyed buy other Mexican greats like Chavez, Barrera and a few others.

If there are many boxing fans not going to buy this fight, why would the casual fan buy it?

Conservatively Pacquiao / Cotto should easily break 700K PPV's and most likely sell out at the gate very quickly. Speculator's can scoop up tickets without hesitation. If there is more publicity outside of boxing's realm, it could even pass the 1 million mark. Come the eve of the fight people might even think of selling their spot and watching it on CCTV.

Cotto is bigger than Pacquiao physically and I think every time Pacquiao beats a bigger and bigger opponent, intrigue outside the sport grows. This fight has that intrigue inside the sport. Now that Pacquiao's next opponent is set, we will have to see how much publicity momentum the fight get's as we move closer to November.

In terms of sale this should be a mismatch. Pac and Cotto both have a great fan base. PBF has a great fan base but JMM just doesn't have it. JMM is a very great fighter but he isn't exciting and he doesn't play the villain so he has no fanatics for his fights. Look at the dismal numbers of both fights of Pac/JMM. Its not fair but JMM marketability doesn't even cover half of his talent value. Not to mention that the casual fans want to see blood and guts and that is what you will probably see in Pac/Cotto. PBF/JMM will be science and this is unattractive to casual fans.

I don't know...why Or are you thinking Cotto/Maburrito?

[BULLDOGBOOGERS]

i have looked on quite a few web-sports sites.....but can't find any early odds on the fight.......anybody know the early odd's ?

thanks scott in cali

[Nameless]

PAc-Cotto without any competition possible at the key; Pacman drags more peoples and attention than PBF and Marquez together at this point and Cotto is also more popular than PBF or JMM, I am not saying that this huge gap of popularity is necessarily justified but that's how things are at the moment.

[Fenster]

Pac-Cotto is a great match-up and almost guranteed to be a great fight. The Margarito-Cotto fight showed they can do great numbers (around 500,000) with a great match-up without either being a huge star.

Floyd has only ever done great numbers with two other great sellers.

No-one gives Marquez a hope in hells chance and Floyd aint the type to go out a brutally destroy him - so why buy it?

[killersheep]

Is this a serious question? Are you trying to find out if PBF is on this board, he would be the only one that would say otherwise.

Only one way this goes PAC/Cotto

Nooooo!

It seems like a thread that would have been started by someone who's name we swore we would never speak of again.

No ones talking about Floyd Marquez anymore, it's sad because I'd like Marquez to get a massive payday because he deserves it. It's just not an interesting fight for me, I really don't think JMM has what it takes this late in his career to move up and fight a top guy.

[Violent Demise]

I'm getting both PPV. Watch them on HD. Get high ass fukk. Than bring myself back down by getting drunk ass fukk

[knodaledge]

Easy answer. Pac/Cotto.

Pac = draw
Cotto = draw
Floyd = draw
jmm = great fighter but hasn't pulled in without Pacquiao.

The better question:

Which will draw more Pac vs. Cotto or Pac/Cotto vs. Mayweather?

[OumaFan]

^^^ Pac vs Mayweather is the undisputed number one drawing fight out there because they're the only two fighters who can legitimately be considered PPV draws. Cotto's a bigger draw than JMM but I'm not sure he's really a draw yet. He's kind of a draw, in that he can sell out MSG like pretty much nobody else.

Cotto vs Mayweather would most likely do better than Pac vs Cotto because that would most likely mean Cotto beat Pac in a fight that drew somewhere around a million buys and would probably turn Cotto into a draw.
