This was a conversation my sister said she overheard at school (white and spanish ppl talking):

"So did anyone watch the Pacquiao-Cotto fight last night?"

"Cotto - who?"

"Pacquiao-Cotto."

"Na...Cotto must've owned the new guy though."

"New guy? He TKO'ed DLH and he knocked out Hatton. And he just owned Cotto."

[Group of ppl just silent for a moment, then one person speaks up] "Really? Wow I never heard of him."

"You must not have filipino friends

"

The casual boxing fan is still unaware of this dude. He's like the boxing equivalent of Brandon Roy. Smh. I bet the casual boxing fan know who Mayweather is and it's a shame. Pac's camp needs to start promoting this guy hardbody this shouldn't be the case by now.

If someone has never even heard about Pacquiao by now then they have obviously been living under a rock

. From around my way more people knew about Cotto after the fight.

You said the same thing over and over in different wording.

that post looks like one of my exam answer papers from back in the day

Overuse of the ellipsis FTL.

Any truth to the rumor that Mayweather wants to take a stay-busy fight before May? The British press says he has a date to fight here next year, with nameslike Matthew Hatton being tossed around. But that cannot possibly be correct, can it?

Dan Rafael (1:39 PM)


There isn't going to be an interim fight. Stop with that nonsense. Pacquiao-Mayweather is going to be negotiated to be the next fight for both men

PPV history is used as a basis for future performance. Manny's fan base has grown exponentially since the DLH and Hatton fights and after Cotto it's not slowing down. Manny did a number bigger than anything Floyd did. So because Floyd did better numbers in the past it negates what Manny did recently? Why?

I don't really understand how it can be any clearer.

Floyd fought DLH, Hatton and JMM.

Manny fought DLH, Hatton and JMM.

Floyds fought sould almost 2 million more PPV buys than Manny did against the same fighters.

Thats all you can use to compare and make a fair assessment anything else is pure speculation. Stop being a fan for a second and use logic.

Cotto sells out MSG consistently and has his own fanbase, this was also one of the best fights that could be made in the sport and had crazy hype behind it...1.25 s good but people were predicting close to 2 million and its didn't even come close to that.

Floyd vs Cotto would have had better numbers. Floyd may have more haters than fans but both pay to see him come fight night.

HUEYP dropping knowledge

i agree with everything youre saying
Mayweather is a smart smart man. He promotes a fight like no other. Part of his marketing scheme is to talk +++*. Many people hate him for that and wanna seehim get his #@# kicked, so they go pay to see the fight hoping he gets knocked on his #@#. He talks a ton of +++* that stirs things up, therefore causing moredrama/interest for the fight. It's a business! Mayweather definetly deserves more than a 50/50 split. I'm not saying something ridiculous like 65/35that was reported earlier, but a 55/45 would be fair for both sides.

This dude Tito out there with some stiff *$$ arms man... throw a punch you fool.

 

[r3tro 3]

PacMan Vs Pretty Boy in JUNE 2010 would settle BEST POUND for POUND , Just need too decide PURSE & PPV Split ,@ which Weight & Gloves 8 or 10 ounces...

 

[carlos tevez]

Pacquiao vs. Mayweather in Spring 2010 is pretty much a done deal...

@ all the dudes here who were eating up all of PBF's trash talk.Dude is a BUSINESS MAN. He's been hyping up the fight for weeks now. Aint no way in he.ll he was gonna turn down all that money.

I wonder if a 45-45 split is possible with the remaining 10 to the winner

Not sure why you would book a hotel if the location hasn't been chosen (unless I've missed something).
