    Fattening their bank accounts or they want to give the fight fans what they want?

    Both. You can't fatten your pockets unless you give the fans what they want.

    Loads of dumb ****s will buy that fight I'm afraid

    They actually think panty boy is a serious boxer, so they will pay out for him time and time again

    Their bank account, and I don't see anything wrong about it, although it goes against my wishes as a fight fan.

    They care more about money

    From a fighter's perspective, it's smart

    From our perspective (as fans), it sucks

    Money. Mayweathers team as always said its been about money. I mean ellerbe before the hatton fight said if it doesn't make money it doesn't make sense.

    Mayweather would earn as least as much money in a Cotto fight.
    ODLH - Mayweather II: 1,4 million PPVs, at most; and Oscar will get the lion's share again.
    Money - Cotto would crack the 1 million PPV mark (perhaps even 1,2 million buys) and Floyd would get at least 60% of the cake.

    Oscar doesn't need Floyd either. He could sell a million PPVs against Margarito, for example - and collect 95% of the revenues.

    How the hell do you figure Mayweather/Cotto can crack 1 million buys when Mayweather/Hatton did 850k?

    Because people will see if cotto can do what hatton vailiantly tried and failed to beat him.

    How the hell do you figure Oscar could do 1 million plus against Margo? He did 900k against Mayorga and Mayorga is way more known. DLH's fight with Hopkins barely cracked 1 million.
