Sergio has one fight left on HBO, who offers more money?

HBO won't pay for Geale, Barker, Sturm, Murray II, Macklin II and nobody wants to see Chavez II. I don't know how he completes his contract without taking that fight. I wouldn't mind Chaves 2 if the Golovkin match can't be made.

Golovkin haters will say it's Golovkin's fault, Martinez not trying to duck him and it's the right thing to do. yup no matter what way it goes down if it doesn't happen it's GGG who didn't want it etc etc ...

He had 2 after Murray, HBO not buying Rubio if it happens either Martinez can retire if he wants, but he's already stated he wants canelo and Mayweather and at least one of them is possible with Showtime....but he gotta get that one fight in Martinez won't have those 154 fights if feels he isn't good enough in the Cotto fight. At least I hope he does, he can go out on top with a huge pay day.

Is Cotto not his last fight? If not then I think Martinez will see how he feels in the Cotto fight. If he feels back to his old self, fast, strong and busy then he'll take the GGG fight. If not, he doesn't have to fulfill his contract, he can just retire. I personally think fighting Sturm in Germany makes more money for him, plus he'd have another belt. Martinez isn't limited to fighting GGG.

Dude already ducked out on his title fight with Rubio for more money. If he wants to get more money, who on HBO is he going to fight other than Golovkin? List them off..... if Sergio doesn't fight Golovkin next, isn't it an obvious duck? He's not getting out of that HBO contract without fighting him Is Cotto not his last fight? If not then I think Martinez will see how he feels in the Cotto fight. If he feels back to his old self, fast, strong and busy then he'll take the GGG fight.

I'm not just assuming. I've watched enough of Martinez to know. Straight left to the body? Watch the Chavez fight. Watch how much Trout hit Cotto with it. Mobility? Watch nearly any of his fights. Power? He's knocked out top middleweights. Chin? Martinez took bombs from Pavlik without being hurt. Martinez has fought world class middleweights who probably hit much harder than Cotto. Cotto is probably going to be far more mediocre as a middleweight than the guys Martinez has been fighting. If Martinez survived and beat up guys like Pavlik and Chavez, Cotto should be easy work. How will Cotto get in range to jab Martinez? Martinez will keep Cotto at the end of his much longer jab. Whatever man I'm not going to convince you when the fight happens I'll bet you all of your points and even give you 5-1 odds. I seriously think this fight is such easy money for Cotto by stoppage. Everyone looks at Sergio as if he is the one from 2009 fighting Paul Williams. The dude has been washed up for years now and even he knows it by the cherry picked fights he has been making.

Good analysis size is going to play a huge factor in this fight reach and weight will nullify all of Cotto's strengths. Martinez is used to facing much bigger men in the ring so he'll have a considerable power advantage.

You are just saying random things that you assume Sergio is good at. Cotto is going to obliterate Sergio with his jab. That cutesy leaving his hands at his side thing might work against Darren Barker and Chavez Jr. but no way he gets away with it against Cotto. Sergio already gets hit a lot as it is he has been able to coast against mediocre MWs but facing a legit puncher who can put together strong combinations he wont survive. Pretty sure Chavez jr hits harder than Cotto lol. I like Cotto and all but Sergio is like all of Cotto's weaknesses put together.

Martinez will have healed by the time he fights Cotto. Besides, watch the Trout fight. Everything Trout did to trouble Cotto, Martinez does better. Martinez, even injured, moves better than Trout. He has a better straight left to the body than Trout. He has a better left uppercut than Mayweather used against Cotto. He's faster than Trout. He hits harder than Trout. He has a better chin than Trout. He has better stamina than Trout. He's more versatile than Trout. He's taller than Trout. How do you think Cotto beats Martinez? What should his gameplan be?

Martinez is damaged goods at this point. No way in hell he beats Cotto. Martinez will have healed by the time he fights Cotto. Besides, watch the Trout fight.

I can't see how HBO could force Cotto fight Golovkin over Alvarez. Alvarez means big money, Golovkin does not. Not that it matters, because Cotto will probably lose to Martinez. Martinez is damaged goods at this point. No way in hell he beats Cotto.

fuark they did? good lawd That's what Schaefer and Espinoza were touting

Showtime offered Cotto 10 million.... I doubt HBO will put up that much fuark they did? good lawd

He doesn't but that is the type of fight that HBO would drop some big money on to get Golovkin's first PPV. I'd imagine Cotto would be likely to fight Canelo if he won, but I think HBO would make a strong push to make GGG-Cotto I can't see how HBO could force Cotto fight Golovkin over Alvarez.

I don't think Cotto has ties to HBO like Sergio does.... so he's probably free to move around He doesn't but that is the type of fight that HBO would drop some big money on to get Golovkin's first PPV.

Lol HBO is probably licking their chops to get GGG matched up with whoever wins Sergio-Cotto. Especially if Cotto wins since he is a big name, regardless GGG would be the heavy favorite in both those fights.

It's a business and if Sergio looks great against Cotto and Golovkin has another soso fight in his next outing, HBO will come up with multiple reasons not to make the fight happen. Golovkin is their product and they only want to see him in the ring against opponents who are going to match up with him stylistically. They need him to KO guys, that's his MO and as soon as the KO's stop, their marketing strategy fails. Lol HBO is probably licking their chops to get GGG matched up with whoever wins Sergio-Cotto.

Martinez will fight GGG at the end of the year. HBO better pay him that money too.
