It's all about sales and Floyd will fight Cotto because he brings a lot to the table. All Cotto needs to do is win against Martinez and he will have his rematch against Floyd at 154lbs.
No one wants to see the Maidana fight as proved by the ppv sales. Besides who rewards someone who broke every boxing rule in the world and has a trainer who encourages such rubbish?
it was hardly promoted. maidana was seen as an overmatched opponent and many casual fans who only tune in for PPV fights didn't know who he was. the fight actually turned out to be a barn burner and it generated a lot of interest after the fact. use common sense.
all those things considered, 800-900k sales is nothing to scoff at.
With or without promotion Cotto and Canelo fights are way bigger. Someone who has made millions of ppvs to pull 900k is utter failure and expensive for showtime. Why would they not make real money beating Cotto again.After all it's all about hype. Cotto is good with Roach but Floyd will really move and get out of there boxing Cotto's ears off and possibly stopping him late.
Would it be for the mw title though? If so, catch weight...
He can fight for the 160lbs title and make history. He can then defend that title against Canelo. He doesnt need to come in at 160 after all Cotto was 155 so Floyd can still be 150lbs and beat Cotto and Canelo. After the Canelo rematch he can fight Pacquiao and finish his Showtime contract. These are the only fights that make money.All thsi talk about Khan is hogwash. People wont pay to see Khan fighting and there's no reason why Floyd can not rematch Canelo and Mayweather. They all stand to make huge purses and economics will dictate they have that little tournament.
Good point, either way i think Cotto would do better in a rematch against Floyd with Freddy Roach in his corner. Man i hope Cotto beats Martinez, I want to see Cotto/Floyd 2 :boxing:
Not totally disagreeing with ya ... But I think the Cotto that fought Floyd had all the tools he could possibly have under his belt and still couldn't pull it out.
I don't see what more Cotto could have done. Adding to that: "Pedro Diaz" is no slouch as far as trainers go -- He's one of the very best.
Still ... Cotto ain't beating Sergio, don't care who's in his corner.

Good post!!!
If Cotto beats Martinez we'll see Cotto/Floyd 2 at 155 for the middleweight belt. I'd love to see it too.
I think Mayweather would fight at full limit - what's the point of a catchweight - he already beat him once, the added bulk to his frame would just slow him down even more than the 154lb frame he had.
We as fans were cheated out of a potentially great rivarly when they were at 147
:(
lmao, such a bitter twat floyd stan
floyd better stay away from chino, after all, he does not want to lose twice in a row
floyd has to rob chino to win, if cotto is smart, he should tell floyd to f off, no way is cotto getting the decision
edit
love the high standards, you don't want floyd to avenge his loss because of a trainer asking his guy to fight dirt yet you don't mind a child beating, woman beating, ped taking, racist and someone who fights very dirty with his elbows and hugging.
you ghetto people are funny, get a job
Who are you ghetto people?

No it won't be at 154 something like 155 or above since he'd want the 160 title on line
Floyd would dominate Martinez. Ya aint outboxing Floyd buddy. Right now its "Floyd wont fight Sergio" post fight it will be "Martinez is old and shot".
