To ALL Cotto Fans, Remember This........

So who is better than Floyd right now?

I think skill wise Floyd is one of the top, but that doesn't define being great. Take into Consideration pacquiao or cotto. But you haven't answered my question. Why do you believe Floyd is the only fighter that is keeping boxing alive? You mean to tell me Taylor, Cotto, Pavlik, pacquiao, judah, mosley just to name a few, don't keep the sport just as much alive?

That's not true. He is not a brawler/blood and guts fighter and everybody knows it and know it's out of question for him to figh out of his element.

Floyd convinved 350,000 fans to pay and watch him fight Baldomir. Tiger Woods reportedly left in between rounds but he came back for another Floyd fight.

That Warrior/blood and guts/ real exicting fights mentality is a lil boring. Floyd's future success in PPV depends on him appearing on mainstream shows getting his name out there........nothing more, nothing less.

damn 2501 dont you get tired of people always making your biased ass/floyd hater ass look ******!!! ??????????? drop it cause you know you'll be buying dlh/floyd 2 lmao

by that statement you are therefore agreeing with what im saying. to say that what he's doing will bring in more business, more fans to the SPORT of boxing is ridiculously ignorant. When one says that, they obviously are implying the GENERAL SPORT of boxing and not just Floyd Mayweather. In order for a CASUAL MAINSTREAM fan to watch a Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight, they have to be left with a sense of drama and excitement that the FIGHT itself creates. Floyd Mayweather's style just doesnt produce that and the fact that he isnt putting himself in the ring with opponents who would bring the absolute best out of him isnt helping either. So how would these fans think to themselves, "Damn, that was a hell of a fight, I guess Ima watch OTHER fights as well!"

it doesnt work that way. Floyd is only in the business of promoting Floyd. He is not in the business of promoting Boxing. He said it himself, "we dont fight to prove to the fans who the best." That statement there speaks VOLUMES on what his agenda is. Floyd does not care about Boxing which everyone already knows since he himself has declared many times. He wants to make as much money as possible and bounce. Simple as that.

This has to be the most female **** I have ever read. You wonder why I have to put it on you it is because of foolish **** like this. TELL ME ONE TIME a fighter in a big fight was not hyping HIS fight and HIM winning? His fights have to do with.............idk...................HIM. The EFFECT of that is more people watch that particular bout, become fans, and watch other bouts. That is how YOU became a fan of the sport. DUHHHHHHHHHHH

[Vladimir303]

so how exactly will that cause fans to start supporting other fighters?

It doesn't, as I've already told you in post # 8.

Everybody has their own style and way of doing things. Floyd has to work harder for his fame in and outside of the ring then Delahoya just to get a teaste of his money and fame.

Mike Tyson was the biggest sport attraction of all times yet he didn't help nobody but himself. People paid alot of money for a decade to see him knock bums out and they kept coming back even after he started declining and losing fights. Once he left, a large portion of those fans left with him.

Technically, it's the promoters of the sport job to spread out the sport of boxing not the fighters.

Quick reply to this message

does 2501 think cotto with his fighting style is going to outsell pbf in ppv. **** cotto can't even get people to watch him for free. I have never purchased a cotto ppv but I have purchased all of floyd's (except the gatti fight, my mistake)

the zab, baldomir, oscar and hatton ppv's were very exciting as floyd put on masterpieces against those guys.

does 250q think tiger woods leaving baldomir prevented him and all of hollywood to turn up for the hatton fight and the oscar fight. how many a-list stars came to see cotto vs mosley.

floyd is carrying boxing on his shoulders and the anticipation for his next fight with oscar will be huge.

whether these "fans" KEEP watching the sport SOLEY depends on the EXCITEMENT of the fight that they watch!!! why is that so hard to understand!?! How did DLH keep fans interested? He fought the best and gave people their money's worth. Thats how. He went out there and he FOUGHT. You can hype a fight as much as you want, you can get people interested in a fight as much as you want, but if you go out there and preform like he did against Baldomir, like he did against DLH, hell maybe even like he did against Hatton, the people that paid to watch the fight will not even consider buying your next fight. In order to have a thriving repeat customer trend, your product has to continue to satisfy your customers.

You can claim it will be the best steak they will ever eat, but if it just ends up tasting like a microwavable dinner, you can bet they will never pay for a steak from you again.

Let's bet all my points come sept. 20th that Floyd/DLH 2 sells over 1.5 million ppv buys.

[Vladimir303]

because they thought he was gonna fight like he did against gatti and judah. why do you purposely ignore that?

How do you know what 350,000 viewers thought. All I heard was complaining about that fight. All I heard was people complaining about the Delahoya-Mayweather fight and how boring it's gonna be. Yet 2.5 mill ordered.

Guess how it happend?? Exactly as I've told you, by Floyd promoting the fight and appearing on main stream shows attracting fans into realizing that it's a BIG EVENT. It had nothing to do with how exciting Floyd is or how boring the his last fight was or how boring the fight against Oscar could be.

Once people realize it's a BIG EVENT they will shell out money to watch it....including actors who want to be seen in attendance.

why not over 2.5 million? also, if what floyd is doing is good for boxing, bringing in more fans, why was Pavlik/Taylor dissapointing, why were cotto's ratings against gomez so low? their personalities or promotions for the fights shoudnt matter.

By your DUMBASS logic everyone payed to watch Floyd/DLH because they thought he would figh like he did against DLH.
