Opinion: Why Mayweather-Pacquiao could damage Cotto-Canelo's revenue

We're just 1 day away from Miguel Cotto vs. Canelo Alvarez at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. From the standpoint of the intense Puerto Rico vs. Mexico rivalry, the expectation that Canelo will become boxing's next superstar, and also the historical greatness and drawing power of Miguel Cotto over the years, this was supposed to be the biggest selling fight in boxing not to involve either Mayweather or Pacquiao.

But for some reason it doesn't feel like a big fight week.

The level of media coverage and hype from mainstream sports networks pales in comparison to the bigger boxing PPVs over the past few years.
