Hear me out. I dont like to make a thread about stuff like this. I have no source. I have no proof. I only have logic and I have decided to use it on this. I start a thread to get conversations and thoughts. I think I've proven I can do that. I just want my opinion on all this to be heard.
I dont want to say that Mayweather wants to fight the winner of Cotto vs. DLH. Nor do I want to suggest that its a plan between promoters. But this is what I think can happen...
The fight with DLH was something Money May wanted and he even made his Uncle, Roger, stop training Steve Forbes to not help him beat DLH. Perhaps for hyping up the fight Mayweather didnt have a problem feuding with Dad, who was helping, DLH. But maybe, just maybe, it hit home as soon as signing the contract was so close. Maybe when it became reality Mayweather stopped for a second and didnt want to put his family through any of this Son vs. Father and/or Brother vs. Brother garbage. Maybe he decided to find a way out and felt nothing he's done has earned him enough appreciation. He perhaps didnt feel the need to ruin his family because he would make a couple more millions. Money is something he already has and without Floyd SR in Oscar's corner it seems like he would make equal amount of money.
What I honestly believe however. Is that DLH vs. Cotto, honestly, has a decent chance of being the second-ever PPV to reach over 2 millions buys and will perhaps break the current record held by DLH vs. Mayweather.
#1 Its Mexican vs. Puerto Rican
#2 Miguel Cotto could be coming out of a big win vs. Margarito .
#3 Its DLH and its DLH in his last fight.
#4 Seems like this can be a much more exciting fight than DLH vs. Mayweather
#5 Its coming at the end of a Boxing year, 2008, that is looking very good and better than 2007.
What I mean by this is that if Miguel Cotto beats DLH and he does it in a PPV that sold more than DLH vs. Mayweather then not only would Miguel Cotto be a house hold name he would hold the record Mayweather believes, in his head, is his. 2.4 million PPV buys.
Even if it doesnt sell 2.4 million. Anything over 2 million. Or close to it can convince Mayweather to return.
Cotto will have more exposure. Cotto isnt trained by Mayweathers father. As far as securing his legacy with hardcore boxing fans this seems like a fight he can take and sell over 1 million PPV's with, without the DLH name.
I honestly believe Cotto is a Margarito and DLH win away from getting his big fight with Mayweather in 2009.
