How do you predict Pac - Cotto sales go?

Mayweather is the cash cow of the sport now. Against a Mexican fighter that is virtually unknown to the general public he manages 1 million PPV buys and in a recession. Can't say he's not the draw anymore.

Whereas Hatton-Pacquiao was marketed even bigger and seems to be the bigger fight but only managed 825,000 ppv buys.

I'd be surprised if Cotto-Pacquiao does 1 million. It's going to be seen by the general American public as 2 foreigners fighting. America don't like foreigners, unless 1 of their own is beating the shit out of the other foreigner.

very true

still..........no f*cking way this got a million sales!!!

Well, PBF definitely carried this event and I'm glad boxing showed UFC up only because Dana White is a very mouthy president for them. Pac/Cotto has two fighters who have a decent following even though Pac might have more. So Pac/Cotto should do well itself. But there is no denying that PBF is a bigger draw than Pac. They now have 3 common opponents(Hatton, DLH, Marquez) and in each case PBF drew more PPV buys than when Pac fought them.
