    Why is Mayweather-Cotto billed as such a huge fight?

    I know some is just promotion, but some boxing writers saying its a huge fight.

    expecting the 2nd highest ppv buys, only less than dela hoya-mayweather

    i dont get why?

    cotto got battered by manny, so i dont see the huge appeal,
    im surprised its expecting to be more grossing than mayweather-hatton, there we at least had an undefeated boxer who had beaten a common opponent in castillo, in a clearer fashion

    but this is spoken of in such a huge light,

    am i missing something here?

    sure cotto is a challenge for floyd, but nothing great

    i know cotto was drained against manny, but 9 more pounds doesnt completely change a fighter. or does it?

    what draws you to watch this on ppv, besides to watch floyds skills

          This fight would have been huge in 07 but back then Cotto was from Puerto Rico so Floyds health was at risk and it didn't happen. Cotto is still from Puerto Rico but I don't know why it's happening now. It's still better than losing your urge and being on vacation though.

            Two fo the three biggest names, and it's not like Cotto can't fight or is s**T. He's the Top SWW with a title, and it's a big fight with two good fighters that happen to be two huge names. And it's a fight people have waited awhile for.

            Marquez had been completely dominated by Floyd at 144 lbs, that was still billed as a big fight??? Same thing with Shane Mosley-Pacquiao.

            Mayweather-Cotto is a good fight, and it helps that it's on Cinco De Mayo, where s**t is poppin' off in this region right now.

              Because it's got people like you, who are not particularly interested in the bout, talking about it.
