Pac/Cotto PPV numbers Poll

You guys are missing my subtle underlying devious point. That Floyd is a fool for even attempting to try to get more than a 50-50 split

I caught your point but you're comparing 2 very different fights. Cotto is a full fledged welterweight, JMM is a lightweight. The world wanted to see if Pac could fight a 145 pound Cotto, PBF beating JMM was a given. Cotto is a much better draw than Marquez. These fights were incomparable. Just like Pac/Cotto beats Pac/Marquez 1 and 2 combined. The element of the unknown makes the fights incomparable.

I don't know if Cotto is/was much of a better PPV draw than Marquez. Cotto could headline sell outs at MSG, but his previous biggest sell was against Margarito who brought a big following and gave Cotto more exposure and plus word spread fast about the nature of the fight. Marquez has a huge following and of one of the traditionally strongest fan bases in the sport.


And of course Pac-Cotto beats Pac-JMM 1 and 2...both Pac and JMM had a fraction of the popularity then that they do now.

It's not the element of the unknown. Every fight has that. It's not necessarily boxing fans that drive big PPV sales, a lot us just stream fights on a computer. Mainstream fans buy PPVs


Pacquiao is bigger than boxing right now and Mayweather is only as big as boxing lets him be

This is as plain as I can put it. Fresh out of retirement, do you really believe PBF/Marquez is a better buy than PBF/Cotto? Pac/Cotto did what it was expected to. PBF/Marquez did double what is was expected to. Lets keep it real.
