Canelo wants to take back Mexican holiday fight dates from Mayweather

[HanzGruber]

Showtime isn't gonna let that happen. Especially if he fights another angulo

[$0uthpaw]

Canelos only chance at that was lost by losing to Floyd. He's going to have to wait until he retires

canelo doesnt have a contract with showtime for 2015...
if hbo wants to put the money and make canelo-cotto in may they have a big chance of moving floyd from that date...

Golden Boy had dibs on those dates at the MGM, Shaefer confirmed this in May, so what Oscar wants will happen. If they make Cotto/Canelo Showtime ain't passing that up on Cinco de Mayo to feature Floyd vs khan or any other Haymon guy. Arum almost put Chavez Jr. on Mexican Independance day and still might bc there really isn't that much interest in the Maidana rematch.

Absolute nonsense! Should Floyd say "Fighting in American halls is for Americans"? He's very concerned about his fights being on Mexican Holidays, but not concerned at all about where(on American soil) he would be fighting those fight.

[Warring Don]

c'mon

Lets say Canelo did use Oscar to get dibs on the MGM grand for argument sake. And lets say Canelo and Cotto do fight next year on May 3rd. I think if Floyd wanted to fight back he could put Canelo and Oscar to SHAME.

#1 Floyd has people bidding for him to come to their area and fight. Barclyas, Madison Square, London, hell they even want him to fight in Africa. Floyd generates 100s Of millions of dollars when he fights every year in MGM grand. People want his business. Hell, when he was about to go to prison his sentence was pushed back so that he could fight pacquiao in mgm grand and generate money! (Although pacquiao ran)

#2 Neither Canelo nor Cotto draw as much as Floyd. Canelo vs Angulo did 300-400 thousand. Cotto vs Sergio Martinez didn't even do big numbers on Puerto Rican day weekend! Together them + mexican independence day. The most they could hit it about 1 million, and i think it would be less.

#3 Golden is boy is going through some problems right now. Their top men left and all of the stars that we thought were a part of golden boy actually are NOT. All oscar has is canelo.

Lets say Canelo did decide to put up a challenge. And lets say MGM grand was stupid enough to pick Canelo over Floyd. Floyd could just as easily pick a fighter like Amir Khan. Go to the UK Sell out one of their HUUUUUUGE stadiums. Put on a CRAZY undercard with Carl Froch as well as a match with a couple of Al haymons stable of stars who would LOVE to fight on a floyd mayweather date. Use some of his connections in the entertainment industry and have some artists come and sing and perform for the monumental event... C'mon... Canelo does NOT want to do this....LOL

He isn't going to get May 2015. Showtime is really going to put Canelo on PPV before Mayweather??? No ****ing way, they can have Canelo-Cotto in June anyways and still have a big sell there.

Fight might be on HBO? It's Arum who wants it in May and he doesn't deal with Sho.

[Mr.Fantastic]

Canelo vs Cotto would own anything Mayweather throws without Pac.

Hbo won't go against Floyd either. Didn't arum move jmm Bradley back just for Floyd. Cotto canelo will be big if they don't lose but still
