**Could Cotto vs. PBF has the same fate as Pryor vs. SRL....**

Well, Mayweather-DLH II might happen in September because of what Mayweather said about taking some time off. So it's not 100% false.

 

By the time September comes around it will have been a good chunk of time taken off.

About 10 months.

 

post the source please, everytime freddy asks you for the source you say you didn't say this and that it was scar.

 

They were two different ideas, sorry.

1) To show that Cotto can't think for himself, he only does what Arum tells him to do.

2) To show that they preferred a fight against De la Hoya before a fight against Mayweather.

 

But Zoo retired. He was old.

And I think the contract between Judah-Mayweather had already been signed before Judah lost to Baldomir.

 

the hatton post fight interview, cotto's name was mentioned, and pbf stated that he was taking this year off. so cotto looking towards dlh made sense since pbf claimed that he was not going to fight.

so when he decides that he will fight this year, instead of looking to make a fight against the most worthy oponnent, he chooses to go after a fighter he has already beaten.

 

Why is Cotto fighting Gomez instead of looking to make a fight against the most worthy opponent -Mayweather- ?

You all are blaming Mayweather. It's Cotto fault too.

 

Freddy says I said Cosley-Mosley did 230.

Leonard says Cotto-Mosley did 360, Arum never released an official number. But Ive seen them as long as 320 and as high at 400, So I think in the middle is perfect.


Arum supposely said it was over 400 but it was projected to be 500 and it won't release the numbers. That's why Im thinking its 360-375k.

It missed the projected outcome of 500,000 PPV buys, which is probably why BOB ARUM wont release the official Numbers.

"Arums reasoning for not releasing official numbers is because "he says he's adopting a new policy of not releasing the final figures because fighters will want to be paid on that number and Top Rank doesn't have the revenue yet."

But Arum did say that the numbers most certainly broke the 400,000 buy mark, although it is unclear how far over."



If Bob Arum told me the sky was blue, I'd look up to make sure.

 

Yes it does. Floyd went through with an already signed contract and didn't Zoo retire?

 

arum is on record as saying that he will not release ppv numbers because fighters will want to negotiate paydays based on those numbers. therefore you can rest assured that any numbers that arum releases will be lower than the actual numbers. the fight with shane was said to be between 400-450. of course pbf's resident lackey will put out a low number in order to suit his clients claim. but of course, since it came fom pbf's camp, all of his floydboys believe it and peach it as gospel.

 

that contact was not signed. if it was zab would have made more than he did.

 

The contract was signed before Zab fought Baldomir. Zab had to just forfill his Mando.


As for the PPV numbers. Arum won't release them because he knows they were WAY lower then expected. 360-375 is about right.

 

You are all forgetting the big rivalry between Judah and Mayweather before their fight.
