I've said below a million. Cotto gets much higher PPV audiences than Mosley was getting, even against Margarito.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but, I'm pretty sure Cotto - Margarito and Mosley Margarito were not on PPV.
Established star was the wrong choice of words, more of a star is better. Their 3 fights before DLH Floyd sold more than Manny and that's including JMM for Manny who is easily the biggest opponent for either of them (he's got a country behind him).
TBQH, I'm pretty sure the only PPV fight Cotto has ever headlined was with Mosley and Pac. So, why are people so sure that Cotto is a bigger draw than Mosley?
The trend says it would have done less than Mayweather/Mosley. It would not crack a million. It would still be a win for boxing and boxing fans. I would watch.
At the very least it would do 1m+.. He did 700k with clottey, a nobody in ability to draw ppvs, so i dont know how you haters are saying it will do less than 1mil.
PAC/Mosley would do the above number right now even after Mosley was thoroughly outclassed by PBF. Prior to the PBF fight, Mosley was flying high off the Margarito victory and having two exciting well-known fighters (PAC/SSH)=big numbers.
Cotto vs Margarito was on PPV, as was his fights with Judah and Jennings. [url]http://www.hbo.com/boxing/fights/2008/07-26-miguel-cotto-vs-antonio-margarito/index.html[/url]
Then why didn't they do it ...Mosely called him out TWICE ...and even wanted to fight him at 140 which would have been a big mistake for Shane after seeing him getting clobber by Mayweather.....They had that fight was too scare to take it....Bigger draw my ass.
