I feel the same way, except I'll still support Canelo!! Canelo may be an arrogant young pr*ck, but he truly does want to face the best and I respect that quality about him.
I agree, I like Canelo for the same reasons, but I also won't pay for a ppv from him unless it's Cotto or GGG. I know he wants Cotto, has wanted Cotto for a while(let's not forget that he was eager to fight Cotto, but then Cotto fell to Trout),but it seems like Cotto is being extra picky, which is understandable considering this could be a career ending fight. Don't misunderstand, Cotto has a good chance, but he has taken a lot of damage over his career, and still lost to Trout a few fights ago. Still, because of this I will be rooting for Canelo.
I won't complain until the dust settles and the fights are official, but suffice to say that I will not pay for any Mayweather fight unless it's Pacquiao, and if Pacquiao indeed decides to fight Vargas he can go **** himself too. Same for Cotto, Canelo or nobody.

it's been slow at the office for two days now so expect another news tidbits about floyd vs Pac today or tomorrow to make NSB busy for another couple of days :dance:
LOL at Canelo fighting Bradley. He can't KO a JMW so he needs a WW?
That's sad. Why doesn't Canelo fight GGG? After all he is a MW (fought at 155 since Floyd embarassed him)

When Haymon heard that Cotto is more interested in fighting Bradley or someone else, did Haymon then call up GGG's team to try to get the other MW title? No way that happened! :lol1:
Floyd and Haymon love to cherry pick opponents and titles! :rofl:
True....But Floyd would be a fool not to go for the lineal MW title....I want the Manny fight but if the networks are the cause of the fight not happening then what can they do?
C'mon. You really think the networks will be the reason for the fight not happening?

The fight will be an epic failure...........we done seen it once, we know the result. Stop ducking Pac, be a man, take your loss, and RETIRE! :boxing:

One high-ranking boxing official close to the Mayweather-Pacquiao talks said Penagaricano isn’t angling for Mayweather and might pursue a meeting at 154 pounds against former welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in June if Alvarez is indeed moving on.
The boxing official is not authorized to speak publicly because of the sensitivity of the talks.
That same official -- despite De La Hoya’s statement -- said there’s a possibility Alvarez-Cotto discussions could be revived this coming week.

"recent months"
Doesn't really mean that much
Cotto mayweather doesn't meet any of the criteria of a successful rematch.
It wasn't controversial
It wasn't a great fight
It wasn't an upset
It will flop, at least when u consider Floyd will get $32mil and Cotto will want $20mil and there will be a huge backlash if the Manny fight doesn't happen yet again.
It will do Maidana type numbers but will cost a lot more meaning a huge loss for Showtime.
:dance: :dance: :dance:
What are you talking about? If Floyd doesn't fight Pac I won't support him anymore. Its that simple.
Its quite simple, D. Will you also be taking your proboscus out of the hoops of the other floydchuffers?
I do believe Arum is trying to control the media reports and putting a spin on things but there is no equation you could come up with that would show each fighter's true value. Mayweather v Pacquaio does 3 million PPV buys, Mayweather vs Khan/Cotto does closer to 1 million. Clearly Pacquiao deserves a big cut
Mayweather, according to the rumors, was calling for two-thirds of the money; Pacquiao, until recently, only talked of being willing to split 55/45.
Not saying that you would find a definitive solution, but you clarify the relevant range for the purse split if you know what both guys are bringing in. If Floyd and Pacquiao were doing the same level of business, the purse split should be more even; if Floyd does double the business that Pacquiao does, the split should have some reflection of that, too.
Mayweather-Pacquiao does 3 million PPV buys, Pacquiao-Vargas does closer to 300k. Does Pacquiao really deserve a big cut? I doubt it.
