He can't fight anybody that can compete with that. Pac and Khan are likely out since they are Top rank and GBP fighters.
Mayweather has no choice but to give up that date unless a miracle happens and cotto-canelo doesn't happen on that day.
Why wouldnt the bigges fight in boxing be on the biggest weekend - push it back too september and u run the risk on pac losing again
Khan cant fight in september
That fight is still the biggest in boxing. Canelo v Cotto can wait no offense..

Mayweather-Pacquiao on 4th of July would be awesome! Post BBQ bouts, cant beat that
Problem is most people are out with fireworks, and picnics. They won't be interested in watching a PPV event. Add to that the fourth is not know for boxing it's known for baseball.
exactly!!! i dont know why people keep saying june will be better for cotto??? its not like cotto fights for his people LOL. didnt he made his own people pay for his ppv fight against marg 2? LOL
It's simple numbers really. Hispanics are one of the biggest supporters of boxing and buyers of PPV. Roughly there are about 50 million or so Hispanics in the US. Of those Hispanics it is estimated that about 39 million are Mexican or Mexican American. Why wouldn't you want to maximize your buying clientele by fighting on a Mexican holiday? It's not as if they're going to be fighting for Canelo or helping him in the ring. Add to that most Mexicans I know actually respect Cotto.
It benefits him because May 5 weekend means more PPV buys for the fight. More buys =more money for cotto.

It will be interesting. After Pac got KTFO look at how the quality of posting and discussion shot through the roof for months. Then as the tards crawled out from under their rocks, posting quality has steadily declined until what you see on here today.
there was that great week where you know who was banned for racism. too bad that had to end.
if cotto-canelo wont budge from may2, and pac-floyd ppv price would probably be $100, then it should happen before may 2 if they want to maximize revenue. some ppl wont have the budget buying consecutive ppvs.
I think if Cotto/Canelo happens in May the Mayweather either waits till September or there has been talks about him fighting the weekend before May 2nd.
Cotto's team has gone on record saying they want the fight on the day its going to maximise PPV buys. That date is May 2nd in Vegas.
I hope we get an official announcement for Canelo/Cotto before the end of the year.
I can see Cotto/Canelo doing 1.2 million PPV. Like I said before if Cotto excepts, Floyd wont have a choice but to move. He would lose to many PPV.
I have a feeling Cotto will not except and Floyd vs Cotto gets made.
Goldenboy and Arum are trying to stick it to Floyd so he's forced to fight Pacquiao. But I think Floyd and Cotto already know they are going to fight each other.
That's because most people on NSB are Pac and Floyd fans first, granted all cash cows have brought new fans to the sport, but I would really like to see how many of those fans stick around when either retires.

By Cotto and Canelo, you mean Oscar and Canelo, What benefit does Cotto have fighting in May?, June would suit him.

Nsb is obsessed with Floyd

dan Rafael has been saying for months that Floyd wouldn't fight until September if this happens.
Finally after two ****ing pages of bickering and *****ing, someone actually reads the question, understands it, and answer it...
Oh if only this were a simpler world...
He can, he can fight Pac, that would compete with it. . . Except some fat old prick is holding it up now.
:thinking: I thought Ellerbe had been demoted.
