    plus it would get advertised as the biggest fight of our generation anyways and boxing experts would agree as well... so the mainstream would more than buy in...

    Lets not get too excited .... people may question your manhood.

    I am a Cotto fan as well...but I don't dream about him.


    Anyways Cotto will demolish Gayweather.

    Mayweather doesn't have that much fans in comparison to Cotto or any other fighters with huge followings like Hatton, Calzaghe, Pacman, or even a Marquez so i doubt it

    unless they're just giving those tickets away

    Because Margie has no drawing power..just face it!!!!

    Thats why he can never make the $ fighting someone signed out of the
    Home Depot parking lot like Cotto can in fighting Jennings.

    yes very close

    your very close minded

    p4p #2 vs p4p #1
    the so called best boxer of our generation fighting a guy who the boxing world thinks will beat him
    a lot of mutual opponents

    it would be advertised as the biggest fight in boxing since leonard vs hagler and when you have credible sources on espn
    co-signing that people will believe it

    all the tools are there it would be the biggest fight since sugar rays time

    why because im a boxing fan?

    if the fights in yankee stadium that means there will be alot of cheap seats and a lot of expensive seats..

    plus its in a high traffic city like nyc which means a lot of out of towners will be in for the event..

    if this fight went down im 110 % sure i would go and take my 2 brothers and father...

    are you american? would you go?




    thats cool ...

    id be rooting for floyd

    your probably right about the first couple but it would surpass the hype of mayweather & dlh ... and it would because the under ground boxing community would create such a buzz for it that the mainstream would have to be forced to pay attention

    plus floyd did a smart thing by laying low after the hatton fight... that way when he fights again (in this imaginary situation ) when he fights cotto again... his name will be fresh in the minds of the mainstream.. so when he's on 24 acting like a damn fool... the act isnt old

    it would be the biggest fight of our time.. jeez your always so quick to be negative

    what are you talking about? lol
    the undercard?

    are you kidding?

    nobody is worried about the undercard the fight will be amazing regardless... the hype will be better than any fight since leonards time period

    it would be the biggest event of our era... whats not to get..

    unless your 40-50 you have never seen a bigger boxing match than what this would be

    I'm not being negative, I'm being realistic. You, on the other hand are being very naive considering you statement of biggest fight ever.

    yeah i'm american and i'd probably be there but just saying Floyd doesn't have a huge fan base, he doesn't really sell out arena's......but uhh, i hope this fight happens, i'd love to see it, i'd pay money to see any Cotto fight, especially if he's fighting Floyd

    i was over exaggerating on purpose... just the fact alone that i as a poster could hype you up as another poster to actually believing my hype makes me wonder what someone like bob arum or oscar de la hoya whos actually a professional could get away with

    the only person that has selling power like that is hatton.. nobody has had the balls to try it because you would need an event with enough hype capable of selling out an arena.. oscar cant do it .. only person that could have probably sold out an arena in our time is tyson... you gotta keep things in perspective ... not very many people want to go to boxing matches unless its garunteed to be something special.. i live in miami and i try to convince my friends to come with me to hard rock every time theres a fight here....

    everytime i go theres atleast 4+ knock outs and i can say that with confidence and my friends still dont care... why ? because they dont want to waste there money on something they think might be boring

    the regular public wont fill out an arena to see anyone in boxing today unless you make the correct matchup...only hatton & paqiou can do that but it would have to be in the uk.... floyd & cotto would have been able to do that in nyc if cotto never lost because of the peurto rican following..... i mean if you can put yourself in the mind of a puerto rican ... the magnitude & potential of an event like this would be to much to pass up and im 100% sure that the pueto rican/pro cotto/latino attendance ALONE would be in the 30,000-40,000's... thats not including floyd supporters or just random boxing celebrities...

    at the end of the day floyd vs cotto would generate enough people to make it work... i mean honestly think about it i bet pretty much everyone you know has some kind of family or close friends who live in nyc.... i know i personally do and if this event came off i could easily coherse 4 of my friends alone to go to this even plus my 2 brothers and father...... floyds fan base is bigger than you think...

    but it wouldnt be floyds fan base that sells the fight it would be the epic perportions of the event...and if you think about it also... just the fact that its in nyc on the 4th of july would mean that... the puerto rican fanbase would stir up enough buzz for this thing to be rediculous all on its on..

    peurto ricans everywhere would be shouting out Cotto is going to kill mayweather

    that will pit other cultures (primarily black) to cheer for mayweather out of sheer competition of culture...

    trust me this fight would rank in the top 10

    Boxing in USA is not nearly as popular as it once was. Go way back and look @ the crowds that Dempsey was able to draw. They used to build seating for his fights and get over 100,000 fans. Look @ the excitement and build up in the newspapers that Ali generated. Whole sections would be devoted to the pre-fight, and the day after a big one Ali would be front page news.

    I can't even remember the last time I saw a tale of the tape in a newspaper. Only one person mentioned the Pac vs. DLH fight to me and that was after the fight. Ask some average people on the street who Miguel Cotto is and you'll get a bunch of blank stares. Ask them who Floyd is and you'll get a few less blank stares. Ask them who Sugar Ray Robinson or Leonard, Haglar, Hearns, or Duran are and the majority will know. Ask them who Ali, Tyson, and Foreman are and pretty much 100% will know.

    The main reason I spend so much time on ESB is that hardly anyone is into boxing now. Jeez my family met for dinner over the weekend and we talked about sports, mostly football, but boxing didn't even come up!!!

    If Cotto can't beat Margarito how is he going to beat Mayweather?
