not to fight Trout? He isnt a PPV attraction? not clearly won against Cotto? Should do a rematch first? Isnt ready for Canelo? The "WBC not unify rule" do not allow him to fight Trout? What do you guys think it will be?
Here's a crack at the question;
"At Golden Boy, we support the fighters and want to make the best fights possible. But what people also have to understand is that there is a business side of boxing- and fights need to make dollars, it's that simple." - Richard Schafer
Exactly. Was that the best Trout and Cotto can do in the presence of Canelo? I'd just wait for Mayweather if I were the Ginger Kid.
End thread right here./
You weak pathetic coward. Is that how you run nowadays?
:lol1: they fought cintron after he lost to molina. they fought mosley after he lost to mayweather and pacquiao. they were planning to fight kirkland after losing to molina, and williams after losing to lara. what makes you think they won't go after cotto? but yeah, gbp will say trout is a no name, and that they're pursuing "bigger" challenges.

That would be an absolute disgrace, I don't think they would stoop that low.
They fought Mosley who hadn't won in 3 years and Josesito Lopez who's a 140 pounder. They've have a history of stooping lower than that already.
They are obviously gonna say CONelo had a stomach ache and had to leave the arena so he didn't hear Trout wanted to fight him. Then he's gonna think to himself,"Hey, since Trout didn't call me out. I'm gonna go ahead and get this Cotto fight signed!"
It's not the point though. Trout earned it.
Josesito Lopez beat Ortiz who was scheduled to fight Canelo and got the fight because he "earned it in the ring". Now Trout did it.
You make a very valid point! Just like Lopez earned the Canelo fight, so did Trout. I hope Canelo takes the fight with Trout because he was also CLEARLY called out in front of thousands of fans and a lot of people watching from home.
I also read Oscar's tweet and thought it was complete BS. I really hope they don't go through with Canelo/Cotto.
I was willing to order Cotto vs Canelo on PPV before this lost. But I don't support cherry picking, good lord can Canelo ever fight someone coming off of a win or not shot???

This went right over my head. Damn, that's fuckin depressing. At least Trout got the W, nobody can take that away from him.

I agree, the way Canelo is protected, they STILL will go after Miguel Cotto.
They will pull a Bob Arum special...
Delahoya : Trout won't fight, be we know Cotto will, and Cotto vs Canelo will be a explosive historic Mexican Vs Puerto Rico fight.
Completely ignoring 2 lost in a row.
Oh they're still making Cotto vs. Canelo. Don't get it twisted. And the fight will still sell because of fanbases.

I have it Cotto in a close tough fight.
