Why is Zab/Cotto PPV?

[Bx730NY]

While the fight certainly was worth the $50, the word is that it only did about 250,000 buys, which is a disappointing figure.

That sure is a low number for such a quality fight. I think alot of people didn't really want to pay the extra 50 on their cable bill 2 consecutive months.

That's exactly why I said from the beginning that PBF vs DLH was not good for the sport.

I'm sure the fight made some good money. There were over 20,000 people at the Garden. I know the money is on the PPV but it is still a good days work. You can't expect to compare to the numbers PBF - DLH made. That would not be fair.

Or it could just be that Cotto was not a big enough name yet to draw a lot of fans as the headliner of a PPV card. Maybe that will change as word of his performance gets around.
