Did Mayweather find his September Opponent?

No, Cotto should wait out to see if Canelo beats Lara and make the long awaited Canelo-Cotto. Canelo presents more danger. From our standpoint though, Cotto/Canelo is the fight that's most intriguing.

Also, Miguel Cotto is a promotional free agent. Top Rank has no future options on him. Therefore, he could easily exit and fight for another promotional company if he so desires. Right now a Canelo match makes the most money and sense for him because Showtime still owes Mayweather $100 Mil for his last three fights. Mayweather can't offer him anything of significance because it would cut into his guarantee. Therefore, he would probably be forced to take substantially less money than he previously had made against Floyd when they fought the first time under his old HBO contract. Only, unless Golden Boy steps up and give him a better offer and that will only happen if he challenges Canelo Alvarez. However, If Miguel does decide to fight Money again he would probably demand at least twice the amount he was offered the first time when he was defeated by him by using his championship title as leverage.

not convinced he makes a whole lot more in a mayweather fight ... maidana only got 1.5m after all. If he goes 50/50 with canelo he could make similiar money or not far off what floyd would offer. Cotto got something like $13m when he fought Floyd.

No, I don't think so. Even his own dad Floyd Mayweather Sr has his misgivings about it. He said he would advise his son not to fight above 160 because he was too small and that he could still make a 140 lbs if he he wanted to. In addition, he stated that the guys a 160 were too big for him anyhow However, who knows? For the right amount of stipulations with a catch weight being among them, then I'm pretty sure that Team Mayweather would at least consider the offer. After all, he is already the current champion and WBC titleholder in at least two other weight classes at 147 and 154. So I wonder why would he need a third one? That would definitely put him on the fast track to a potential bout with Gennady Golovkin and the cries for that matchup; Especially if he defeats Cotto again would only grow louder. I agree with his dad that he should stick to fighting guys closer to his own size.

Lol, this ain't happening in september. No time to negotiate and plan a fight that big... also Cotto will make more demands that I doubt Mayweather will bow

Paper champions are a dime a dozen... Mayweather already beat Cotto with ease and the same thing will happen again. I don't think you can call Cotto a paper champion to be fair.

not convinced he makes a whole lot more in a mayweather fight ... maidana only got 1.5m after all. If he goes 50/50 with canelo he could make similiar money or not far off what floyd would offer. Maidana has no fan base that is why he got 1.5 million dollars.Floyd is not stupid enough to offer Cotto chump change because he knows Cotto`s worth.Cotto got 8 million and a cut of the PPV in the Floyd fight.In a rematch Cotto would likely get more.

Rumors going around were that Showtime needed to make up a lot of money on Floyd's next fight in September due to the lackluster Maidana PPV. Floyd said he was willing to rematch Canelo (but not Maidana), or fight Danny Garcia but none of those fights would be a guaranteed success for Showtime Does Showtime throw money at Arum & Cotto to make Cotto-Mayweather II for the 160lb title? My guess is this is Floyd's next fight, I'd be surprised if Arum hasn't received a phonecall from Ellerbe, I'd say this fight does at least 1.5m buys Floyd will never work with Arum.Also Cotto does not have a multi-fight deal with Arum,Cotto is free to work with any promoter.The only way Cotto vs Mayweather 2 happens this year is if both of them can agree to a date this year.Mayweather wants to fight in September,September may be too early for Cotto,so maybe Floyd would be willing to push the fight back to October or November or Maybe even December.If not then we are not gonna see Floyd VS Cotto this year. I think theirs a good chance FLoyd vs Cotto Happens this year though, because FLoyd has no other big money fights available this year,And the chance of winning a title in a 6th weight class is gonna likely interest Floyd.

I think he makes more money in a mayweather fight, ultimately it will come down to whether Oscar or Haymon/Ellerbe gives the most money Cotto has some serious options right now that's for sure not convinced he makes a whole lot more in a mayweather fight ... maidana only got 1.5m after all.

Nope, Cotto whips his ass in a rematch. The question is will Mayweather let him wear his punchers gloves. I almost hope it happens so you look like a fool flip flopping on this once Floyd wins.

Yep another easy cherry pick that the deluded masses will buy into. Cotto is middleweight champ of the world... Lol at cherry pick... Nice reach. So you think Floyd will easily win championship for 160? Shows what you think of him.

Mayweather has changed, dude is weak as fuk nowadays. I just hope he don't ask Cotto to wear pillow gloves for the rematch. Maidana had success because he just bum rushed him the first 5 rounds and threw anything/everything. Cotto would get picked apart again, and Floyd out fought Cotto off the ropes in the first fight several times. Mayweather wins another 9-3 type decision.

Cotto whips Mayweather's ass in a rematch. If it happens, which I doubt because the first fight wasn't up for debate whatsoever, I'm quoting this. You're a pretty big Mayweather hater, so I'd wanna see if you change tune.

^^ not the first prediction of a Cotto ass whipping I've read, but that's what I want to know. will being at 155 or more really help Cotto vs Mayweather?

this is a misconception, cotto does not make most money fighting mayweather, floyd eats up majority of the purse, unless FMJ is willing to cut his guarantee ... if not cotto is better of fighting other fighters not named mayweather The Floyd Mayweather Jr fight is Miguel Cotto's carreer biggest pay day. Go take a seat son.

I would only really like this fight had they never fought the first time....but whatever. Mayweather's options for September aren't that great.

No, Cotto should wait out to see if Canelo beats Lara and make the long awaited Canelo-Cotto. I think he makes more money in a mayweather fight, ultimately it will come down to whether Oscar or Haymon/Ellerbe gives the most money Cotto has some serious options right now that's for sure
