Zab and Cotto have sold tickets to the Garden at a rate comparible to Lennox v Lewis.

Tickets for the May 5th fight are the second most sought after tickets for any event EVER in terms of price and availabilty. It only ranks second behind this years superbowl, and tickets have yet to reach thier peak. Some are going for $22,000 thats right $22,000.

If Mayweather wins he will be bigger than he alread is and can fight Hatton, Cotto, Margarito/Williams.

Boxings demise is greatly exagerrated. MAB v Marquez sold close to 300,000 buys. While its not high its still close to what UFC 67 did, and the undercard wasnt great. Plus 25 million people saw that fight in Mexico. 40 million saw the Paquio v Solis fight in Mexico.

I have links to everything I just posted in case any of you doubt it, or would like to prove some of the boxing haters wrong.

There will be more stars just like there's always been. No one could have seen Trinidad, Morales, Pacquiao etc. coming years in advance. They came out of no where. Trinidad was a career undercard fighter until he fought DLH, then was able to do incredible numbers.
