Cotto Allegedly Offered 40 Million Dollars for Mayweather Rematch

he fought delvin rodriguez. what is there too see? he fought a 40 year old Martinez who just looked like **** in the fight before against murray. then a year layoff, a broken hand and 2 knee surgeries. cotto's opponents since he has been with roach make it hard for me too say cotto is new and improved. the canelo fight will be the true indicator. is cotto new and improved? or did he fight a bum and a 40 year old fighter headed downhill? You shouldn't have to see much. During evangelista and roach cotto moved forward cautiously but always forward and went to body with left hook disregarding what would happen to him. A la Trinidad. But not only that what immediately followed was an uppercut of left hook to the head. He would do this without fail and did so relentlessly. He would mix up some stuff but always and many times per round would go to body then up top. After evangelista and before roach cotto went to a 50-50 boxer puncher style of sorts. I think it would be easy to see with just watching a round or two of his fights with these various trainers. Just watch round one of the Rodriguez and Martinez fights. Then watch round one of the pac and may fights. I the latter fights he boxed. In the former fights he came out throwing bombs focused to body without feeling out his opponent. It's just the structure of his fight plan and style that's changed. It doesn't matter who he has fought since roach or how many rounds. It's just the fundamental technical changes that cotto has made. And for someone who is very short with very short arms but also exceedingly strong it's the style that suits him. A boxing style doesn't. I think anyof you can say that at least that has changed in cotto with roach. If not then I don't know what to tell you aside of the classic roger mayweather saying. I won't say it cause I think most will notice the change. Now here's the kicker. Will the change lead to continuous victories over stiffer opposition?? Or will it lead to a different results against past adversaries. We shall see I hope. So bring on Canelo mayweather In what ever order and then wrap it up with ggg win lose or drAw.

Kind of Pathetic seeing the Majority of these Fan's bend over for another one of FLoyds meaningless rematches, chanting TMT, with their favorite overpriced TBE hat, as they get bent over for 70 dollars, AGAIN. You rather see Cotto vs Mayweather than Pacquiao vs Mayweather?. I dont even see you defend yourself as a man from his BS, letting the Bigger Man in Mayweather walk all over you, bend you over by entertaining yet another meaningless rematch that will make you $70 poorer. and make him millions richer, rather than going for a Pacquiao mega fight? I got to give it to Pacquiao fans, they just got on the scene with Pacquiao, but they love to see their fighter fight ANYBODY. They actually want their fighter to fight, even after getting KO by Marquez, they still ask for the fight. Maybe fans are a mirror image of their favorite fighters, one is known as a humble warrior, the other as a....well just google "boxing's biggest coward". Brace yourself for another meaningless boxing year.

No matter what gets offered Cotto it would come down to what he thinks about his chances against Canelo. Cotto's adviser is right that that fight will be there, but only as long as Cotto beats Canelo but if Cotto can beat Canelo he would make that fight even bigger and line his pockets even more. Even if it was something outrageous like this now it can still be more, but it can go up in smoke so it is a risky game to go Canelo first. Going Floyd first is probably the safer option but it also limits upside (unless he can beat Floyd), but the other way could be much more lucrative and if Cotto can finish it off perfectly that would be quite a 3 fight run to end his career. Got to love the position Cotto is in, now he just needs to win to keep it going. Exactly and his team understands that regardless of whether he wins, Cotto isn't gonna come out of that fight the same fighter. I'd aim for Mayweather if I were him, I'd say his chances at the moment are better than it was going into the first fight. Mayweather is smaller, not as physical strong or as good of a puncher, also on the decline although it's hard to say how much he's declined.

:lol1::lol1::lol1:

Watch all of cottos fights since after he split from is uncle evangelista. Then watch his two fights under roach. Report your findings. he fought delvin rodriguez. what is there too see? he fought a 40 year old Martinez who just looked like **** in the fight before against murray. then a year layoff, a broken hand and 2 knee surgeries. cotto's opponents since he has been with roach make it hard for me too say cotto is new and improved. the canelo fight will be the true indicator. is cotto new and improved? or did he fight a bum and a 40 year old fighter headed downhill?

how do you know its a different cotto? all cotto did was beat delvin rodriguez and a 40 year old Martinez who was coming off of a year layoff. a broken hand and 2 knee surgeries. mayweather wins again 116-112 no rematch is necessary. cotto/canelo Floyd/pac these are the 2 biggest fights in boxing. why do so many fans want fights other than the big 2 Watch all of cottos fights since after he split from is uncle evangelista. Then watch his two fights under roach. Report your findings.

Doesn't mean he'll beat him again. This is boxing. I'm not saying cotto wins hands down but what is certain is that we are not dealing with the same cotto. how do you know its a different cotto? all cotto did was beat delvin rodriguez and a 40 year old Martinez who was coming off of a year layoff. a broken hand and 2 knee surgeries. mayweather wins again 116-112 no rematch is necessary. cotto/canelo Floyd/pac these are the 2 biggest fights in boxing. why do so many fans want fights other than the big 2

Yes, anyone interested in competitive matchmaking. Golovkin-Mayweather is an epic mismatch. Mayweather is now considering a fight at middleweight against Cotto. Maywether has also had the belt at 154lbs since 2012, and he had a 154lb belt in 2007 as well. Golovkin can make the weight at 154lbs, and Mayweather's reach is longer than Golovkin's. Do you mean that Golovkin's skills are so much better than Maywether's that a match wouldn't be competitive? .

Supposedly the offer was not 40$ million for a Mayweather fight, but for a contract with Haymon meaning their are options attached to it. I'm sure we'll hear more in the coming days. LMAO, yeah, I'm sure Cotto's people are going to allow him to do that. Cotto would go from being a shot caller to a mantle piece with handcuffs on.

they paid maidana like ...1.6 million or something? and still lost money allegedly ...so if cotto vs floyd sold double what maidana sold ,they still be losing money Did they announce the numbers for the miadana rematch? I do not recall that they did. There have been allegations and numbers tossed around but an official statement I do not recall. But if all the speculation is true then your logic is good. That's why I rely on the may v cotto info. Official statements have been made and it did massive numbers. Cotto still receiving phatty checks from that fight, I believe. Didn't miadana recieve 3 mil for the rematch?? Anyway it iS my belief that Shen there are two legitimate big draws fighting each other there is plenty of money to go around. Hope we find out what's happening soon. The suspence is killing me

If this was true, the fight would have been signed and announced by now.. What is cotto waiting for, it's biggest payday possible... That's why I know it's not true Exactly team Cotto would fax back that agreement so fast.

You said Algieri will run around the ring so Maidana can't ever punch him. That was your explanation as to how he would beat Maidana in a wide UD. Like I said, quote it, post number, nsb article etc etc. Until you do, STFU and stop talking out your ass. You are making yourself look foolish. :boxing:

I understand. Was just doing basic numbers to demonstrate the money involved. There are many other revenue streams in a big fight. Gate, merchandise, food and drink etc. there are many more millions involved beyond ppv. Point is they can pay Floyd 32 and cotto 20 and still make a sizable profit. Methinks anyway. they paid maidana like ...1.6 million or something? and still lost money allegedly ...so if cotto vs floyd sold double what maidana sold ,they still be losing money

Seems like just something they would do out of SPITE to keep the Canelo vs Cotto fight from happening so it won't mess up his dates Not interested in Cotto vs Mayweather II but with that being said, it was some of you talking about how Cotto with Roach could beat Mayweather :lol1: Mayweather vs Pacquiao SHOULD BE THE FOCUS!

Numbers pulled directly from the arse. Cotto got 8 mil guarunteed with some PPV upside when they fought and now he's gonna get more than double that? yeah right! Cotto is obviously a massive draw but not this much. Mayweather would more likely be the one to get 40mil guarunteed if they fought again. that's more then quadruple lol

Don't believe this ****. Floyd gets 32 minimum. Cotto gets 40...probably flat fee. That's 72 MILLION for a fight that won't break 1.5 million buys? No bueno.

After Cotto beat Martinez this forum was flooded with "this cotto destroys Floyd", "floyd will never fight Roachs Cotto", "Floyd scared of a rematch with his Cotto", and so on and so on. I have no issue with rematch unlike the NSB flip-flopers

Yes Floyd would gurantee Cotto 8 million more than what his gurantee is that sounds like the truth.
