Cotto is inching closer to become "adonis stevenson" of middleweight division. If Cotto doesn't get Floyd or Pac next, he would turn out to be a laughing stock.
Did you really just say that??? You can't be that naive.
A few things...
Cotto made negotiations with Martinez very difficult. IIRC, the fight seemed to be off because of Cotto, while Martinez wanted it badly and was doing everything he can to make it. So this leads me to believe that Cotto is once again at fault. Canelo does want this fight badly, but Cotto is just taking his sweet ass time, enjoying his spotlight from the Martinez win a little too much.
Another thing about Canelo and 'who does he think is'. Canelo sold 350k PPV's with Angulo in a non title fight vs a non top 10 ranked fighter, as a comeback fight to get back into the mix after a loss, in a fight where majority of fans disagreed on it being PPV.
Cotto did the same exact numbers vs the #1 Middleweight for The Ring and WBC Middleweight titles in an anticipated fight which was well worthy of a PPV because of two big names involved.
This shows that Canelo has more support from his Mexican fans, than Cotto has from his PR fans. Canelo vs Lara also sold 300k buys, which speaks volume, due to fans always being put off by Lara's style and him being unknown. Last but not least, against a common opponent, Floyd Mayweather Jr, Canelo outsold Cotto's PPV with Floyd by a whopping 700k buys.
So let me put it lightly: Stop asking who Canelo think he is. He clearly has more fan support and star power than Cotto. Cotto is the veteran and older fighter, it doesn't make him the A-side.
Presumably Cotto thinks the Floyd rematch is still a possibility so. There isn't much else out there that's attractive for him. He could easily be beaten by a lot of very ordinary fighters at 154/160.
Team Alvarez want a fight, Cotto was messing them around so they're moving on. Good for them, they can't wait around forever.
"messing them around..."
what does that even mean? and who says he has to wait forever? why is gbp and canelo be in such a rush? there isn't a more lucrative fight for them out there.

I for one am glad this fight is not happening. There are far better fights to be made.
Why would that stop you from also making this fight? Keyword also. Including those far better fights you speak of but failed to share.
what's good about this exactly?

If this is true the this is horrible news, this would have been a huge fight for the sport.
If these two don't end up fighting their next fights better be on regular HBO not ppv. Though I'm guessing if the fight doesn't happen it's because Floyd/Cotto 2 on ppv is happening which interests me...but not as much as canelo/cotto and obviously not as much as Floyd/Manny.
While I think Canelo was stupid for trying to force himself into May 2nd, I still think he really wanted the fight, has wanted it for a while, while Cotto is just trying to get the best deal he can get on a potential career ending fight. Don't get me wrong, I think Cotto has a good shot, but he has taken a lot of damage over the years and lost to Trout not too long ago. I will always respect Cotto, but I dislike how relevant he has made the whole "A side vs B side" argument, why can't fighters negotiate on relatively even grounds, does one fighter have to completely rape the other one when it comes to negotiations? What's worse is you have retards who would rather see Cotto "flex his A-side muscle", than seeing a very good fight come to fruition.
why would he put deadline? june is like 4 months away
it appears to me that gbp offered cotto a deal, and expected cotto to accept said deal at some point. that doesn't sound like a negotiation to me, those are strong arm tactics. an ultimatum.
The difference is Canelo fans actually think he stands a chance against GGG. Cotto fans know GGG ices him in 4 or less.
which goes to show who the worst stans are. if you don't think canelo gets his ass whooped by ggg, you're delusional.
