Arum mentioned cotto-canelo as next possible fight

90/10 split in favor of Cotto...I kid but Canelo doesn't have the 'star' power ppl make him out to have. Cotto would have huge leverage on the negotiation table a proven ppv commodity, a hot ticket seller and boxing's 3rd largest draw riding off the biggest win of his career. Tbf, he had 40k at the Trout fight, and he's only getting bigger, especially if he manages to beat Lara.

Canelo has to get by Lara first.

Even after nelo loses? Yup, barring he gets brutally KO'd.

If Canelo can somehow manage to beat Lara, then beat Cotto on a possible 750K-1.0M PPV.....he'd probably be a legit "star". With his fan base he already is a legit star,you may not like it,but that's a fact.same applies to Julio Jr too,read it and weep.

lol...If this fight happens with Arum involved then it just shows you how weak Oscar really is and that Arum is already manipulating him. 100% correct. Oscar and Cotto would have to be stupid to give Arum a piece of that pie. Why split any money with him when they don't have to and can keep more for themselves?

Even after nelo loses?

lol... this is Arum punking Oscar already. Cotto dont need Arum/TR to make a Canelo fight. He can make the Canelo fight strictly with GB doing the promoting and not give Arum/TR any cut. If this fight happens with Arum involved then it just shows you how weak Oscar really is and that Arum is already manipulating him. Arum is just saying this because everyone knows that is the next logical fight anyways and he normally wouldnt be apart of it but since Oscar did all this talking about ending the cold war, Arum is pimping his way in the mix.

Damn, hell of a fight. Lara might ruin the plans though.

Makes perfect sense. Would be a huge way to officially end the cold war. Make the whole card TR vs GB fighters :boxing:

Canelo beats Lara impressively. Sets up super-fight in November. Canelo wins by TKO stoppage. Cotto either quits or ref/corner stops it. Fight will do huge business.

Arum should not pocket a single dime from Cotto-Canelo. I can't believe that due to circumstance he's going to weasel his way right into the middle of that fight.

Like I said before, "this is the Cold War ice breaker". I would love this fight as it would be fresh to see the highest grossing fight of the year with two fighters not named mayweather or pacquiao. I think odlh should cancel canelo Lara and make this for September 15th. lol if he cancels lara/nelo.
