    DLH 2 makes him more money than anyone else.....but who gives a damn? The fight itself means nothing in the pantheon of boxing.

    Don't forget it makes DLH money too ...

    He was tops on forbes list on highest paid athlete ... dude made 40 mil in his fight w/ Floyd on the purse ... and stood to make more for the gate and PPV buys.

    he's looking to cash in again maybe go for HW money ... floyd is happy making 30 mil + gate + PPV revenue

    You dont read so well. Were did I say that it would do the same numbers??

    Your one of those guys that is going to find a reason to bash floyd no matter what he does or who he fighting so your views dont really matter do they.

    You just dont get it. Walk around today and ask a few random people if the know who Cotto is, then ask those same people if the know who Floyd and Oscar are and there you will find the answer. I could tell you right now that the non-boxing fans dont have a clue who Cotto is. Im not saying that Floyd shouldnt fight Cotto because Cotto isnt as well known as Oscar. And that isnt what this thread was about. It was about which would do better NUMBERS. Only a pure hater of either Oscar or floyd(for taking the second fight) would claim that Floyd vs Cotto would do better numbers.

    THATS YOU

    And in true Fraudboy fashion, YOU IGNORE THE POINT!!!

    Cotto is known after SSM. Same as DLH? No of course not because DLH has been around a long time. Yet being known? DOESNT necessarily mean that it will do better numbers. Which led to the point of Tyson but you dont seem 2 read much yourself.You're only purpose is to wax Floyd's jimmie:yep I dont give a **** if they know DLH will they buy again?:huh

    If promoted properly? PBF vs Cotto is the biggest fight in boxing with every reason to BUY IT!!! Cotto's numbers are right where Floyd was and all it takes is the opportunity which is well deserved at this point. I believe that it might possibly do better numbers than either RE-RUN. Apparently you're crystal ball has no room for any such possibility.:hey THATS YOU:good

    Nothing eles needs to be said. If you believe that then its pointless talking to you.

    This is one of the stupidest things that I have ever heard in a while. :huh

    You keep talking about the fight being promoted right...Well We all know that floyd dominated Oscar but dont forget that it was a SD. Now HBO will have a field day with that. They will talk about how close the fight was and about how Oscar just needs to do one little thing to change the outcome. thats all they need to do to get great numbers for the fight.

    Cotto will pretty much have to be introduced to the people before they can promote the fight.

    Look man, I know that you understand, I have read you posts for awhile now and your one of the smarter guys here, if you would just set aside your hatred of floyd you would honestly have to admitt that its going to take a ton of work by promoters HBo and the venue for Cotto vs Floyd to get anywere near the numbers that Oscar Floyd II. Who floyd should be fighting isnt the point, as I said, I doubt that many if any true boxing fans would argue that Cotto vs floyd is a bigger fight in terms of boxing, but in terms of numbers its like comparing the LA Lakers to the Seattle supersonics. They are not even close to being equal.

    Cotto vs. Hatton 2 is one thing, but I have no idea how anyone could question how a DLH rematch is a bigger money-making fight than Cotto.

    Even if it does half of last time, it's still over a million buys.

    Its a case by case BASIS. You are delusionally downplaying Cotto's accomplishments when he's PBF in those terms 2 fights AGO:nut SO WHILE WE ALL KNOW THAT DLH WAS THE GOLDEN GIRL? And has been for a long time? THIS FIGHT HAS HAPPEND ALREADY!!!

    Whats absolutely PRICELESS??? Is the same guy's attacking that SD are now supporting that SD as GROUNDS for the second fight:rofl
    Hypocrisy for u an me?:D Seriously, I dont like Floyd but there was nothing SPLIT about the decision. On my card he won the last 2 rounds and thus 115-113. You'd expect MY CARD a little biased against PBF no?:lol: Yet, the truth is the TRUTH! DLH did like he always does. I said from the day it was made, DLH PRIME couldnt BEAT SSM PRIME, and old DLH aint beating PRIME FLOYD.:nono Only in Fantasy and perhaps SR. Land's does that change.

    YES OSCAR BRINGS BUYS!! But given the circumstances? PBF vs Cotto with the same promotional level as PBF's DLH and Hatton fights? May VERY WELL out perform the DLH2 fight. There's no way they hit the same buys as last time:nono

    Meanwhile? Cotto BY STAYING ACTIVE will have MORE PROMOTION and be EVEN MORE WELL KNOWN. So save you're BULL**** for someone who doesnt know better:yep

    i dont think people realise this - but a hatton pbf rematch in wembley may well shatter most records going - the british will do anything for their sports heroes - they will big them up like they're the second coming of Jesus Christ, and **** on them if they win, lose, or draw. but they will go to the ends of the earth to support them - no matter who it is. Hatton fighting the rematch, on his turf - especially if its his weightclass (specifics of weight be damned), and im telling you - thats 100,000 people watching it live in wembley. nearly the whole country will watch that fight - most people did that i know, and before that fight they couldn't give a stuff about boxing. the first fight WAS competitive until the 6th, where hatton was going to struggle because he couldnt outbox pbf, and had to bring back a point deduction.

    i think that for hatton, pbf and cotto - for their legacies and personal wishlists (money/opponents) the following might not be a bad idea - pbf/dlh2, cotto starts to unify, hatton starts to unify, pbf v hatton 2, winner fights cotto for the complete unified 147 title (i know floyd is linear/undisputed). that would look great on all of their resume's, and especially for floyd if he can claim the undisputed/unified 140 and 147 championships. and by that point cotto would be a big draw, and no one would have any problems. but a pbf win in all of them and still be undefeated - his p4p all time ranking would go sky high.

    Thats THE WRONG DIRECTION! There's no need for DLH or Hatton 2, NONE!!! Yet? Hatton 2 might make more over in the UK. Either way? PICK ONE because the Cotto fight is the biggest fight in Boxing for Floyd.

    Cotto gets 2 fights at least in the mean time and his numbers are Floyd numbers 2 fights ago. It should be by Spring 09 at the LATEST.

    I take it back about you being one of the smarter people on this site..Your talking about things that have nothing to do with what I said. When did i say anything about what Cotto accomplishments??? When did I attack the SD. I said that HBO will use the SD to promote the fight.

    Its totally useless talking to you, you dont read and then you just start making **** up, and going way off the subject. Its like you have ADD or something. Im done with you:hi:

    :hey I guess you told me:nut BTW? Thanks but NO THANKS:D

    Its possible given at least 1 fight for Floyd and 2 for Cotto that PBF vs Cotto could OUT SELL PBF vs DLH 2.

    But you just cant fathom any such possibility. Hell if Floyd repats the same 2 fight he just had DLH/Hatton? Who knows how many fights Cotto would have.

    Its Ironic that PBF fans accept PATSY-RERUN fights and want Cotto to clean out the division.:hi:

    Well as a hardcore fan, I'm not paying to watch the farce of DLH-Mayweather II unless the undercard is stacked to the ****ing teeth.

    Now Cotto/Mayweather I'd buy in a heartbeat, even if the undercard had Butterbean on it or Cory Spinks, or someone else who sucks at boxing.

    :lol:

    You're right, you cant win:nono Cuz you ignore reality. Cotto is where Floyd was 2 fighst ago, has the better 147 Resume and is clearly the #1 fight. With at least 1 mybe 2 reruns in between??

    :think

    :D
