Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto, May 5th [MGM Las Vegas]
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
You just proved my point and you don't even know it. Hell no Mayweather didn't get a 50/50 split with ODLH. Because at the time ODLH was the boss, just Mayweather is the boss now. Mayweather is the PPV King. ODLH biggest money making fight wasn't against Tito, Vagas, Chavez, B-Hop, or Manny. It was against Mayweather. Mayweather proven he's the PPV King and the King get's the biggest share. Then throw in the fact that Manny doesn't even get a 50/50 share in his own in-house Top Rank fight, no way should he get a 50/50 split..
FYI, It's it funny that Manny refused to fight Cotto above 148lb for a rematch, but the Manny want to claim that Cotto wasn't weight drained at 145lb.. just something to think about..

Honestly, I think Canelo is a bit overrated. I think people wanted to see the spectacle that is Shane Mosley. What I mean by that is people wanted to see how far Mosley had fell off and if he still had it. We all have our answer now. The guy needs to hang it up. And I'm not taking anything away from Canelo, he's a young warrior, he went in there, got butted, stayed with his plan and pulled out a victory. But, I still think he needs better fights.
Bigface, when Floyd fought DLH where was Floyd ranked when it came to P4P? What were his numbers before DLH?

I think floyd's ppvs were around 250,00-400,000. anyone who beats oscar becomes a star for the most part.
so floyd-cotto did 1.5 million, pac-jmm did 1.41 million, definitely very close and floyd isn't massively ahead like he claims so 50/50 would be ok right now. but I suspect pac-bradley will do like 1.1 million, something like that since no one really knows bradley so floyd will have the upperhand.
pac will have to take less but floyd has to be reasonable. I like top ranks offer of 45/45 with the extra 10 going to the winner, that's fair, if not pac may just have to take 55/45 or even 60/40, but I don't think floyd will even do that but we'll see after june 9th.
hopefully they realize there is simply no one left. there is berto and ortiz which honestly just doesn't sound exciting and there is canelo who's is 21 years old. nothing else unless they rake huge risks and move up to fight martinez.

cotto is the third biggest draw in boxing, as far as american ppv goes. canelo is massive in Mexico, but same goes for other guys outside the US the klitchkos are massive, bute is massive in Canada, etc.
he's getting there though. as for his upcoming ppv its got to be a solid opponent to do real numbers, most boxing fans these days are smart enough to not buy some weak fight. if its kirkland or someone like that, yeah it will do good.

Canelo vs cotto would be huge every mexican in the u.s knows who canelo is all my aunts and my mom were. Excited when canelo was fighting lol as soon the cotto vs floyd fight was about to start they left to the back room lol i see canelo doing 500k ppv by him self now that fucken ginger is blowing up
I'd favor cotto too right now but I'm pretty sure he's going to take some time off. maybe kirkland could be next I dunno. the wbc ordered lara vs vanes as supposedly a final eliminator for Canelo but vanes turned it down as always so I'm not sure what's going to happen. I just hope it's a top rated fighter. kirkland, molina, lara, any of these guys are worthy. not sure who else it could be.
