Biggest boxing event ever on May 4, 2013 is being planned says Golden Boy CEO

That's what they said about Mayweather vs Mosley and that did 1.5Million. And Canelo did say a date, it was pretty obvious. "Our next fight is scheduled to take place on May 4, we are close to finalizing the Mayweather fight." So Schaefer is calling Canelo a liar then. From the sound of it what Richard said, it will unfortunately be Mayweather and Canelo on the same card but not against each other. Sucks, I was looking forward to this fight. Not interested in Mayweather vs Guerrero but Guerrero and his people being quiet and low key, definitely points to something brewing with Floyd, that's always the trend. This really sucks, yeah still buying it, but it sucks. In recent years I bought May-Marquez, May-Mosley, May-Ortiz, May-Cotto, Pac-Mosley, Pac-Clottey, Pac-Marg, Pac-Cotto, Pac-Hatton, Pac-Marquez 4...May-Guerrero ranks probably in the middle of this list. 1. Mosley 2010 2. Ortiz 2011 3. Bradley 2012 4. Marquez 2012 5. Cotto 2009 6. Cotto 2012 7. Guerrero 2013 8. Hatton 2009 9. Clottey 2010 10. Marquez 2009 This is where I rank Guerrero between May-Pac opponents since 2009, as far as his chances of winning coming in to the fight, in my eyes. Why is Ortiz so high? He almost always loses against legit opponents, 1-3-1. His only win was at a catchweight he requested, those barely count.

Cotto as an undercard though? Floyd vs Canelo , Guerrero vs Maidana, +Return of Victor ortiz Comin off 2 L's? he better not think he's gonna headline a PPV anytime soon!.. He needs to beat Canelo..and not only beat him..I mean BEAT the sh*t out of him if he plans on headlining another PPV..until then, co-main event or free HBO/Showtime it is.. I'll take Mayweather-Guerrero and Canelo-Cotto as the co-main..if we could get Mares and Ortiz against decent competition I wouldn't mind either!..

Maybe Ortiz makes a comback...and forsure they'll throw Maidana in there with someone maybe Guerrero. Mayweather - Canelo Lopez - Ortiz II? Maidana - Guerrero not sure if Ortiz will be ready though

Cotto as an undercard though? Floyd vs Canelo , Guerrero vs Maidana, +Return of Victor ortiz why not? he's a stepping stone/gate keeper anyway

Floyd Mayweather vs Amir Khan WBC Welterweight Championship Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs Miguel Cotto WBC Super Welterweight Championship Austin Trout vs Alfredo Angulo WBA Super Welterweight Championship Victor Ortiz vs Robert Guerrero Andre Berto vs Marcos Maidana Daniel Ponce De Leon vs TBA Deontay Wilder vs TBA Keith Thurman vs TBA

Cotto won´t fight in May,he said in an interview he's planning to return until fall 2013 at the soonest so Canelo will have to find another JWW.

The only way this would be true is if Mayweather-Guerrero were on CBS. In fact i think this would be a brilliant move on GB part. Its not a bad fight but certainly not a PPV worthy fight. They would be banking on everyone wanting to see if jail time affected Floyd, not that anyone would be giving Ghost a legitimate chance at winning.

Based on popularity, Mayweather vs Canelo is the biggest fight that can be done. But based on competitiveness, Mayweather vs Guerrero is much better.

IDK Mayweather-Guerrero makes people flock to their TV's Richard.

Cotto as an undercard though? Floyd vs Canelo , Guerrero vs Maidana, +Return of Victor ortiz Regarding your sig picture....Lopez was never anywhere near 35/1. Odds were around -1000 for Ortiz, which would have made Lopez around +600 or so. You usually aren't getting 35/1 unless it's on a draw. Anyway, that just always bothered me. Carry on.

Guerrero beat Aydin so he took his #1 ranking and the spot as Floyd's mandatory. Kicking Berto's ass was just icing on the cake. He's as legit as most any other welterweight you could name right now. He's the most legit WW out there for Mayweather right now. I think that much is clear. Seems a lot of people don't like this fight. I don't mind it, personally. Especially considering he's going to be fighting in September also.

Marquez beating Pacquiao Guerrero beating Berto Bailey beating Jones Alexander beating Maidana Alexander beating Bailey Those are the top 5 wins at WW in 2012. Guerrero's win ranks at #2 IMO. So I agree. But still for Mayweather's standards, this is not a very good fight.

Guerrero would be the worst opponent selection for Floyd since Baldomir in 2006. Na, Marquez was the worst choice since Baldomir, and Guerrero is a better choice than 135 Marquez 2009. Even I angrily bashed that match up. My policy is, even if a win grows because of what the fighter ends up doing, it does not erase that you cherrypicked him. The cherrypicked fighter just surprised you, that's all. The Marquez win obviously became better, way better. You see just because Marquez seemingly beat Pacquiao in the 3rd fight, does not change the fact that he was chosen to be blasted in a couple of rounds. Hence why I don't even rank 2011 Marquez as a top opponent coming in to the fight. 2013 Guerrero with two wins at 147>2009 Marquez coming up from 135. Though as wins, Marquez will end up as the greater win. But i'm talking about their chances coming in to the fight. Guerrero can win 3-4 rounds as opposed to none for Marquez.

guerrero is a elite WW now just like broner is a elite LW. he will be a big test for floyd.

Guerrero would be the worst opponent selection for Floyd since Baldomir in 2006. This is true. But they'll find a way to "big" him up before the fight. I mean he IS top 10 p4p according to ODLH's magazine right? :nonono:

Guerrero would be the worst opponent selection for Floyd since Baldomir in 2006.

Lol let me guess GBP its, Canelo vs Angulo n Mayweather vs Guerrero, i told yall Mayweather was praying that Guerrero beats Berto that night lol

It will probably be Floyd-Guerrero and Canelo/Cotto or similar. Which yes is a big event but imo if it's true Floyd is also fighting in September this is a big build up fight more than anything. Floyd should smoke Guerrero and Canelo should manhandle Cotto at this point. Thus Floyd-Canelo in September with a bunch of hype going into it. If things go as planned and both dominate, the fight in September would no doubt be huge, maybe not break the record but it will do extremely well. If it's a build up PPV I'll get it with a bunch of friends as usual and enjoy it for what it is, but won't be hyped up for a BIG fight until they put Floyd and Canelo together which looks to be what is down the road. Also like someone said, they might even have an Ortiz comeback on the undercard. If they put together a great card it'll be worth the buy regardless of how you know it'll turn out.
