Purse Cotto: 22 million, Canelo 6.5 million

I don't say "fact" unless it is true.

No opinion needed here.

You are factually incorrect.

 

I'm a Cotto fan and I've been screaming this to people. No one believes me.

 

:deal

 

Cotto has KO'd two guys in a row that he was underdog to, as we know that adds a lot of value to a fighter by way of a fighter giving the people the theatre of the unexpected. Then, Cotto has just been around longer and is the overall more proven ppv commodity, and Cotto holds the highly respected lineal middle. Cotto was clearly the a-side here. Though, 65-35 would have been the area I expected this to land in..

 

Cotto(e) getting way too much money for a guy who will quit after five rounds.

 

Apparently, MSG had the highest bid for the fight, and in order to get the fight in Vegas, Oscar let Cotto have the difference of the site fee. On the back end, I bet Oscar gets to pick the judges. :!:

 

canelo should be the A-side, he's been fighting for much longer than cotto and he'll bring the majority of the viewers.

 

:huh

 

atsch :roll:

 

pro since 15??????????? have you forgotten about that? did you also forget that canelo broke the ppv record when he fought floyd? did you also forget that canelo fought more times than cotto? why is cotto the A-side? don't make that face at me.

 

lol...ggg will be lucky to make 22 mil over his career...

 

I already told you why Cotto is a-side, let's talk about your math instead. 15-25 yrs. old is 10 years. Cotto fighting since 2001 = 14 yrs. And no, having more fights is not being involved in the fight game longer like you said.

 

Is this real or just sakman making **** up to stir the pot?

 

For example so what happens when GGG tries to weigh in for his next fight, steps onto the scales @ 160 and they tell him oops no sorry sir you cant fight u have to be 155 lbs. :scaredas: Do you tell GGG that no he is not a middleweight? Do you call that a middleweight fight? Or a catchweight fight? Does he lose his belts?

You see now why there is and should be a clear distinction between a middleweight fight and a catchweight fight. People like yourself only perpetuate the sickening practice of employing catchweights for title fights. There's weight classes for a reason. :twisted:

You are mathematically incorrect. :yep

 

This is actually the way it SHOULD be more often imo. Although the split is a little much. In general I would like to see the champion always having the A-side advantages no matter who generates more income
