That's why he's putting asses in seats now lolpeople need to stop hating on mayweather. hes got money, and hes a fuckin damn good boxer. to be very honest, i dont see anyone even being on mayweather's level, talent wise.

Mayweather isn't the biggest draw in boxing. His last two fights just happened to be versus two boxers that are huge draws. Unless Cotto faces DLH first, and beats him, a Cotto vs Mayweather fight wouldn't get that many viewers as these last two fights.
I don't even see how De La Hoya is in the twilight of his career. He lost 2 of his last 3 fights, but look at his opponents: Hopkins, Mayorga, and Mayweather. That's some stiff competition and says a lot about the guy's drive to prove he can go at it with the best. He's still got a few more big fights left in him.
BUT....De La Hoya is the biggest draw in boxing. He could be fighting Gary Coleman and he could still sell out an arena.
