    Would everyone want a piece of Cotto since he will bring the most money? Or will it still be Floyd and Pacquiao?
    It seems beating the cash cow makes you the star. It happened when Floyd beat Oscar and when Pac beat Oscar. The star now is Pacquiao. If Cotto beats him will he take over that position or not?

    explain why. I think he probably wont be "The" star either but it would boost his popularity and bargaining power when it comes to future fights.

    Cotto is already a "draw", he can fill out the MSG with 15,000 and can make people in the isla travel all the way from the isla to Vegas to see his fights, and that to me is a draw.....

    I guess it would depend on how cotto beat pac. If he KO's him in a "pac/hatton" fashion, then he would definetly become the cash cow. But if he wins in a controversial decision, then most likely not. Anywhere in between, its up in the air.

    He is a draw for boxing fans but he's not a household name like Pac or Mayweather. People who aren't boxing fans don't know who Cotto is.

    Pac and Mayweather have more name recognition than Cotto outside of boxing but I'm not convinced they are bona-fide draws.

    Pac only pulled about 200K PPV buys 3 fights ago and his last two fights have been against 2 of boxing's biggest names.

    Same for PBF.

    My guess is they both are only "Big Draws" when they have another "big name" opponent in front of them.

    Cotto will be in the same boat if he beats Pac!

    I believe he is a draw already, but not to the extent of Pac and PBF. He he beats him, he will earn much more and build a much bigger fanbase.

    100% Correct, rumour is that PBF pulled out of his fight with Marquez due to poor ticket sales.
