You honestly believe Mayweather/Cotto would outsell Mayweather/De La Hoya?? We don't even legitimately know what Floyd can do all by himself at this point.. This thread is a great points grab - I wish I thought of it - but the idea that anybody alive can outsell Oscar De La Hoya with the same dance partner is literally crazy.
Oscar has more built in, automatic fans than the juiciest matchup in all of Boxing could even dream of producing otherwise. There is no other pairing in the sport that could approach the numbers De La Hoya could do fighting virtually anyone decent enough to create a PPV. That's how great of disparity we're talking about here.. Look at his numbers.
Mayweather vs. De La Hoya crushes Mayweather vs. Cotto.
De La Hoya did 875,000 buys with ****ing Ricardo Mayorga!
De La Hoya's 17 fights on HBO PPV have generated 10.4 million buys and $492 million in revenue. He is primed to surpass Tyson and Holyfield as boxing's biggest attraction, period.
