Well if I recall in the thread a lot of people thought it was close and Cotto actually has a fanbase that cops his ppv soooooo

You know that's a bad fight breh. Canelo already outboxed him clearly & Cotto hasn't even fought since then either. A rematch of a clear loss.....and on PPV?:scust:

well I would have to say no for now cause I think they always promote his fights all the time whenever I watch hbo.

that's why I wanted u go indepth.....maybe im forgetting something.

now for other ex...ill say I think this ward-kov fight is not being promoted good......shyt I don't think may-pac was promoted good. I can pull up that thread right now where people saying that shyt has no buzz.lol

shyt nelo fight with liam just came n went to me. I heard Oscar on a Monday night football talking bout it with a banner at the bottom. but other than that none his promotion was spectacular.

so u could make the argument that big draws sale(more than 97k-100k) regardless of promotion or opponent, but I could see yall side saying that the match up(of combined names) is gonna make it a big ppv number.

also breh those days of fights leading to something are very rare these days. like both ggg and nelo on the same card fighting then they fight each other next. fighting the same opponents(at least pac may did this at first even tho they didn't capatilize off of it in 07-09)...all kinda lil shyt like that to build fights rarely happen these days. so in short compared to those strategies back in the don-king era, yeah ggg-lemieux probably was promoted bad and pretty much 90% of the other fights these days.

Lemeiux should have had a fight or two on HBO (especially letting that N'Dam fight be televised on there)
These networks don't try to do the co-doubleheaders because the way the industry is, promoters don't like to work with each other for the long term. It can happen, but they don't even try and everybody with theis 1 or 2 fight a year makes it difficult.

MayPac wasn't promoted good because they decided not to promote it good. They could have done a press tour across the country and have public shyt, but they chose not to. shyt was a corporate sparring match. The less we talk about that fight, the better.

The way nikkas is going on about Cotto and his fanbase his fight with Canelo should have done over a mil and not just under it. The casuals knew dude was past it and remember him getting the beats too often. Hell, more nikkas was talking about the diva shyt Cotto was doing, more than breaking down the actual fight. :mjlol:

Is this fight even in talks or are nikkas arguing just to argue again. :dame:

Floyd/Canelo would be a horrible rematch Canelo/Cotto/Lara would not because they were close Ls.

I haven't been following this but I'm guessing 97g still hasn't accepted a career high payday to fight Canelo :dame:

Sounding like "he businessman and not boxer" to me :dame:

Breh....did you forget the cards were 117-111, 118-110, 119-109 (your card was 116-112 for Canelo) Canelo/Cotto 1?:dwillhuh:

Should I post your own gifs of the dominance Canelo showed?:dwillhuh:

A rematch of that fight on PPV? Nah...that's something I'm cool on seeing again, because Cotto has only gotten older:scust:

from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
Anybody that isn't bias will agree that HBO dropped the ball in building Lemieux as a ppv opponent for GGG debut. :what:

Cotto vs Canelo 2 is a horrible fight and Canelo will look real bad for taking it. Especially if Cotto's not coming off some good type of win (like Bradley or better) That shyt will struggle to make 500k
if that.

Nobody wants to see 2 nikkas afraid of GGG fight each other again. :mjlol:

Especially if they not giving us some type of Gatti/Ward level of entertainment. :francis:

We going off on a tangent cause the discussion aint really about that.. Its about 2 things

#1. ggg feeling "entitled" :heh: to more than $10 million while being an hbo ppv flop

#2. Some of yall being under the delusion that Canelo has no other option besides ggg(a ppv flop) when he can fill a stadium with 50k people while still managing to sell 300k ppvs against an absolute nobody

I like Canelo so of course I made gifs of the fight what that got to do with anything.

I don't care about no judges cards and my card of 116-112 is a close loss which is what I said. We've gotten famous rematches off 116-112 type fights but this one is horrible :dame: bet it would do well over 300k and we know damn well it's doing more than 97k :dame:

Media would be on anyone ass for turning down a career high payday from a ppv flop but since it's ggg, Canelo is the problem.

okay another thing. what about guys taking the short end of the stick at first? I mean if I could argue if ggg just takes the short end of the stick this time money wise but knocks the fukk outta nelo like Tyson did berbick....then he becomes a ppv star.

or he can do something like hagler did with ray....take more money but let nelo dictate everything(ring size,glove size, location... which would be texas lol) else to his advantage?

GGG has been ducked by Sergio, Cotto, and now Canelo.

Yeah, he doesn't have some all star resume or big ppv sells, but he's destroyed everyone he's fought, fills up arenas, gets good tv numbers, got most of the belts at 160, and is somebody that the casuals wanna see Canelo fight.

Why nikkas gotta make that shyt more difficult than it is. GGG has built himself up enough (with the help of HBO) to where he deserves a split and not some jobber flat fee.

You got nikkas in here that were :whoa: when Pac got offered that shyt from Floyd,

but wanna tell GGG not to be on his :feedme: shyt when it happens to him. #ConsistencyCops:sas2:
