Berto has been on HBO a number of times and that alone would help sell some ppvs but Pacquaio would be the one bringing in the gate and most of the ppv sales. Berto would have been greatly served by fighting another top guy at this point. From a box office and credibility stand point having another highly rated guy on his resume would help a lot towards making a Pacuaio fight. It would be ironic if Berto would be getting overpaid to fight mostly second rate opponents than lost out on his, by far, biggest payday for that very reason.
The bottom line is Clottey is a well-known slut in the welterweight division. Berto's a virgin. :deal
Exactly. Clottey was chosen because he was the next ranked TR welterweight after Cotto. Pac-Berto does more than 700k, no doubt.
