    Everyone is talking about who Mayweather will fight when he gets back. Who do you think is the bigger draw? Pacquiao (Maybe at 140 after Hatton), Cotto (assuming he gets past Clottey and beats Mosley to hold 3 belts plus the Ring title) or someone else?

    Note: I messed up on the poll, it should say Pacquiao (After beating Hatton) not Pacquiao (Now)

    I Like Cotto but Pac has cult followers who only live to talk and follow Pacman... I think they are called Pinoys

    cotto will never be a prime, prime draw becasue he's such an introvert.

    that doesn't mean he won't be in the market for the biggest fights out there.

    but he won't rival pacman for pulling power in this lifetime.

    Cotto is the bigger draw for PPV because of the Latin American contingent in the US. Also, if he goes on to be the Welterweight king, a fight with Mayweather Jr would be very tasty.

    true cotto can pick his end up but a floyd-pacman fight is bigger now.

    no way cotto is a bigger draw at this moment.

    Cotto-Mosley at 147lb did 350k. Pac-JMM at FW did 425k. Considering lower weight generally does a lot lesser numbers and that 425k is record breaking below WW, I think its clear who is the bigger draw. This was also before Pac fought DLH and gained mainstream recognition and Cotto was undefeated at the time.
