Bob Arum doesn't want him fighting in Las Vegas. That hurts his marketability... You know Floyd ain't gonna fight him anywhere else... I believe he has to make his next defense at Las Vegas. :bbb
If he beats mosley decisive, which i expect, he can sellout yankee stadium in may if he's fighting oscar. Maybe against hatton, with 20.000 brits flying over, it will be pretty filled up too.
The guy is not as popular now as in the time he fought abdullaev . . . so he probably improve his gate salemanship.
Not entirely true before... I went to see his fight against Otkay Urkal in Puerto Rico(I happened to be there during that week). There were a sh*t load of empty seats but the people that were there were showing their love for Cotto..
actually me and about 3 others were there for zab the rest were for cotto so he definatly sells tickets
I was at that one and over hald the place was empty. In PR he sells out almost instantly. I was in the island when he fought Pinto and I couldn't get tickets cause it was sold out. I expect that now he will be selling out just about anwhere he fights.
Puerto Ricans have too much culture and too much Pride to be called "American" the truth is the truth as far as property and **** but heh...like this guy said tell that to Cotto's face and you'll end up as another one of his patients receiving his famous Facial Makeover....
And when you guys say American do you mean Puerto Rican born in the USA (like DLH mexican born in USA).. I think DLH definitely sells so much because 1. He draws in Mexico...2. Hes american so he draws America...3. He has a puerto rican wife and a Puerto Rican son... God that mofuker played his cards right!!!! PR loves boxing big time..I think its better that Cotto is Rican as far as PPV sales than American..Boxing isn't too big of a sport in America..
