    Berto has has had 16 or 17 of his fights shown on TV, he may not be a star, but he gets exposure when ever he fights.

    It really wasn't too long ago a lot of posters where talking, and rightfully so, on how Berto hasn't really had an stern tests vs. the top guys. Collazo was his toughest fight. And nothing has really changed since.

    Pac-Berto would do around 1 million ppv buys.

    Pac-Margarito does closer to 1.5 million buys. :deal

    They have no excuse. Pacquiao will draw a massive audience whoever he fights. They don't need Margocheato.

    Very true. Here in NYC his fights have been televised on MSG & SNY for a long time. I've seen quite a few of his fights.

    Despite that fact, people still don't care about him. He lack charisma, and imo of course, he's not an A-class fighter. B+ at best. I'd love to see him fight Cotto, and I'd much MUCH rather watch that than Cotto/JCCJr.

    How anyone believes that Berto would be a bigger draw than Margarito is beyond me. This guy has no fan base. Probably couldn't sell out a YMCA. He turned down 60/40 to face Mosley and now wishing to have a decent fight with anyone with a name. Will someone pamper this baby please.

    I'm from NYC also and have seen his fight in MSG and SNY network. This is why I am surprised that he could not get a decent showing in/near his hometown.

    I wish he could do better :?
    I like the dude.
