Do ODLH and Mayweather Jr care about...

Hatton is more known than Cotto. Also I doubt a Mayweather/Cotto 24/7 would be anywhere near as good. Cotto is not as well known as Hatton, and he can't promote a fight as well as Hatton. There has never been a fight that cracked 1 million buys that didn't include DLH or a HW.

 

I don't think Hopkins-De La Hoya did a million.

Mayweather-De La Hoya 2 (and De La Hoya-Cotto for that matter) is a bigger money fight than Mayweather-Cotto.

There's a reason why Floyd and Cotto would prefer to fight Oscar rather than each other. More like a few million reasons.

 

Does Hatton have a fan base in the US? I don't think so.
Does Cotto have a fan base in the US? I do think so.
And as far as I know the Puerto Ricans are eager PPV buyers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, that's just my assessment from the other side of the pond.

 

Think again.

Unfortunately, your logic is flawed. I highly doubt Mayweather/Cotto could crack 1 million buys. Once again, no fight has cracked 1 million that didn't include DLH or a HW. Cotto is not known enough, and doesn't have enough of an outgoing personality to be able to generate those kind of numbers. Not even with Mayweather as his opponent.

 

Hatton made it sell because there as never been twenty thousand brits going over to see a fighter fight in America. Also the genuinely the bad blood between them before the fight was a factor.

 

Mayweather IMO all about the money for sure dlh I would like to think he still cares he still fights a good level of fighter. I know this makes more money but he must care to keep fighting lets face it with gbp and his fight purses he must have more money than he can spend. I think odh has a love for the sport mayweather only time will tell

 

Oh, okay. It must've been one of those cases (Mayorga, Mayweather) where the initial count was lower.

I remember it being a tad under a mil when they first announced the PPV figures.

 

Their pockets, but this whole idea of boxer's fighting for the fans or looking out for the fans best interest first is ******ed.

In fact the whole idea of athletes doing what they do for the fans is stupid.

Jordan didn't win his championships for his fans, Brady didn't win the superbowls for their fans, Ali didn't win the gold medal for the U.S.A. fans, they won it for themselves.

The real question should be what's their drive:

Internal motivation of being the best ever or money? In this case it's obviously money.

 

Let me just add that I'm disgusted with the thought of Mayweather/De La Hoya 2

 

DLH didn't have 24/7 for those two fights.:deal

 

DLH is boring, and Margo barely speaks English. How the **** is 24/7 going to help that fight crack 1 million buys? No one knows who the **** Margo is. I don't give a **** if Margo was fighting Jesus, the fight still wouldn't crack 1 million.

 

To make money and avoid cotto

 

mayweather wants money to buy more cars and oscar wants more money to buy more women's clothes.

they care about money like any other hard working american.
