Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum is convinced that the fight between WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs) and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 31KOs) will happen on May 2 at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. The veteran promoter believes the venue will pack in 50,000 fans for the contest.
Both fighters were scheduled to see action in December. For different reasons, both withdrew from their scheduled dates. Now most are expecting them to go directly into a mega-match between the two of them.
"Nothing is definite yet, but I think the negotiations with all of the parties are on track. I think the Cowboys Stadium would be the ideal place for a lot of reasons. I think a stadium with a capacity that can be flexible and achieve historical levels is a good place for the main fight is between Cotto and Canelo," Arum told ESPN Deportes. "We have very good experiences there with the two fights with Manny (Pacquiao)."
