Apparently HBO won't host Cotto's next fight unless Canelo is guaranteed next.

According to Steve Kim's tweet.

Word is that HBO isnt going to do Cotto***39;s next fight unless there***39;s a commitment to do Canelo next. They want a safety net #boxing

Thoughts?

I think its good HBO is forcing Cotto to give them better fights. They want GGG to become a star by fighting Cotto.

Is this considered legit information?

Legit? To a certain extent.. hence "Apparently" in the title. Steve Kim is somewhat reliable I guess.

Anyone who took this information as 100% fact mislead themselves anyways.

I'm sure it'll be Heiland or Bradley.

HBO would probably accept Heiland and WBC could/would back it, but if HBO wants Canelo next what's going to happen to GGG if the WBC says GGG is the mandatory?

Exactly idiot he fought Mayweather and pacquiao two fighters better than Canelo so why would he duck him?

I know you ain't talking when Mauricio herrera beat your boys motha f0ckin a$$ in Puerto Rico.

Been told that DiBella/Haymon have a hold on June 20th at the Barclay, which would complicate a Cotto bout there for June 6th #boxing
