Canelo is a ****ing idiot. There is no way that any fight can go against floyd/pac on the same day. They will lose alot of ****ing ppv buys that way. Why can't he just wait a couple days to see what happens with pac and Floyd. Cotto knows he can't go against that ppv and he's waiting to see what happens and if pac vs floyd doesn't get made he gets another chance to take Floyds 0 ( not saying hed win) and that fight would do way more for his legacy anyways. Now even if pac and Floyddoes happen canelo just lost his other biggest payday.
Wrong again. ......
Shameless retards is what they are. :lol1: they dont even care how stupid they look.
If he thinks he's a star then fight this g guy. .... He'll fight lower weight opponents but run and hide when there's a guy in his division willing to fight him. The kid is a joke and I can't blame him for being scared to face someone in his weight division like this g guy or anyone with a little power. Canelo supporters make me laugh when they try to justify him not fighting the g guy as suppose to Cotto fighting him. It's ok for Cotto to fight him but oh no Canelo shouldn't because he doesn't have a belt and Cotto does. Well if the kid was any good he'd still have a belt but he let a smaller guy beat his zza and took his belt. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. ...
Camelo gets knocked out....
Uh......you may be right unless Floyd-Pac isn't really happening. Maybe Floyd is trying to rematch Cotto because he is scared of Pac. Maybe the fans don't really want that fight and would rather watch a new star like Canelo fight someone else to prove a point to Floyd?
For starters Canelo isn't a star, the boy had a chance to become a star when he got a shot at Floyd and failed like the c level fighter he is. He doesn't have the corner or the skills to be anything but a bum with a suckers attitude. The only thing he has going for him is being Mexican. Mexican people will support him like black people support Ward, TC, B-Hop, Floyd and other black fighters. But calling this kid a star is stretching it way to far. Star's know how to step up when given the opportunity the way he should have done against Floyd. But the world saw how weak the boys skills were that night and how one dimensional he is. Floyd had the kid swinging at the ropes and frustrated the boy like it was a sparring match at TMT gym.... Star you say, I say young fool who doesn't know his place. Any fighter that says he don't want to have to chase a fighter because the guy uses footwork will never be a star......
Uh......you may be right unless Floyd-Pac isn't really happening. Maybe Floyd is trying to rematch Cotto because he is scared of Pac. Maybe the fans don't really want that fight and would rather watch a new star like Canelo fight someone else to prove a point to Floyd?
Youre right, even though Canalos acting like a ***** with all these demands and deadlines id watch him fight somebody they dragged in off the street before id pay for another Mayweather fight that's not against Pacquiao.
Neither ODLH nor Canelo get it ..... Ginger isn't a star in the US, he's only a star in Mexico. The majority of US based fans don't really know him or want to watch him. He's not the second coming of ODLH because he doesn't have the history Oscar has in the US.
He's going to continue to flop if he's counting on PPV's in the US. I believe he's hovering below @400,00 PPV. There's no market for him outside of the hard-core US fan and Mexicans and many of the HC US fans would rather stream the fight than pay for it. :lol1:
Oscar said they weren't going against Floyd-Pac:

Canelo might fight on regular HBO:
LOL. Ether. Thread was dead before this excuse making cry baby ever had it started.
I like how everyone knows what Cotto is doing, primarily his delusional fans. Keep it up.
No what you do is the same thing Klitchko did start negotiating behind the scenes with someone else and have that as your plan b. You don't call the negotiations off just then.
Why? You either want the fight or not. No reason to do backhand deals.
You know damn well if it was the other way around and it was Canelo making backhand deals to screw Cotto you and all the other Cotto fans here would be screaming at how shady Canelo was. How Canelo didn't sign b/c he didn't want the fight and how Cotto agreed to all of Canelos demands. . But because it was your boy Cotto then it's all good right?
Doing backhand deals when you're negotiating with a fighter is ok as long as you're a fan of the fighter. It's the guy getting screwed that's the coward and idiot.
Everybody getting their panties bunched up on contracts that they haven't seen let alone been signed.
This is the negotiation process and sides take hard stances for a better deal.
I'm just waiting to see which way they go when they finally sign contracts. There is still a big chance that you will still get Pac/Floyd and Cotto/Canelo at this point and time
How is it bluffed? He was waiting for floyd to make his decision. If the fight does happen then he was banking on fighting canelo in june. Canelo is the one that decided to call it off prematurely. Who is canelo gonna fight Kirkland who the casuals know nothing about or clottey?
it doesn't matter who canelo fights next because it will be on regular hbo. so the casuals aren't even needed for his next fight. canelo could fight you and 40,000 people will show up in san Antonio.
canelo will get a pass because he has been trying too get cotto in the ring since last year.
remember cotto turned down a 10 million dollar guarantee too fight canelo last march?
so the fight not happening falls on cotto not canelo. gbp has done everything they could over the last yr too make cotto/canelo.
cotto has a mandatory waiting. we were gonna give cotto a pass too make the canelo fight. but no canelo means he has too fight ggg or leave the middleweight division.
get ready for cotto/Bradley for 70 dollars on ppv. I have no interest in that fight. and im sure nobody else does either.
so I ask, would you rather pay too see cotto vs canelo or cotto vs Bradley because those are the options.
cause we all know Miguel aint gonna fight ggg
Put yourself in Canelo's position. You've been negotiating the fight for months. You've given in to several demands. You made it clear that you won't be competing against a May/Pac fight. If May/Pac happened you'd move the date to June and fight in NYC. You've agreed to all the terms and have been waiting for weeks on the guy to sign.
Suddenly you hear that Mayweathers advisor has been reaching out to Cotto for a fight. You start to wonder if this is why the fight still not signed? Is Cotto going to make me wait and then make a backhand deal at the last minute to fight Floyd and leave me with no opponent? So you tell Oscar Give him a deadline. We can't afford to get screwed. Either he wants to fight us or not but we're not going to be jerked around.
This is exactly what happened.
No what you do is the same thing Klitchko did start negotiating behind the scenes with someone else and have that as your plan b. You don't call the negotiations off just then.
so what if Floyd/pac does happen. then what is cotto gonna do? fight Bradley for shorter money than he would have made against canelo? or fight his mandatory ggg and get his ass kicked for shorter money than he would have got against canelo?
if the may/pac fight happens then cotto just bluffed his self out of the biggest payday possible and he will have too give up that wbc or fight his mandatory

bro for the last time their will never be 2 fights on ppv on the same night.
if Floyd fights pac. canelo wont fight may 2.
if Floyd fights khan or cotto. then canelo will fight may 2 on regular hbo
so what if Floyd/pac does happen. then what is cotto gonna do? fight Bradley for shorter money than he would have made against canelo? or fight his mandatory ggg and get his ass kicked for shorter money than he would have got against canelo?
if the may/pac fight happens then cotto just bluffed his self out of the biggest payday possible and he will have too give up that wbc or fight his mandatory
Gennady Golovkin
He won't fight GGG. You already have all the Cotto fans saying Canelo should fight GGG even though Cotto is his mandatory. They don't want to see their diva get hurt.

exactly. canelo been chasing cotto since cotto beat rodriguez. at some point canelo has too move on.
All I'm saying is there is no Dam reason for him to set a deadline especially so early. Maybe February so that there's still time to negotiate if floyd still hasn't made a decision. He just took his biggest payday for being so immature not wanting to wait a week or 2. Also you say cotto don't wanna fight canelo why because he's waiting to see what happens with floyd and pac? You know damn well if you were cotto and you believe you might get another crack at floyd if negotiations between him n pac don't work you'd wait for the outcome also. It's the smart thing to do legacy wise and monetary wise. Floyd would do way more for his legacy if cotto were to win (again I'm not saying hed win) than canelo would who already got shut out by floyd and alot of people thing lost vs lara
so what if Floyd/pac does happen. then what is cotto gonna do? fight Bradley for shorter money than he would have made against canelo? or fight his mandatory ggg and get his ass kicked for shorter money than he would have got against canelo?

Look at the Klitch Jennings negotiations. Klitch unhappy it was taking too long so he started to look for other opponents. He didn't call off the fight but he did start looking elsewhere. This is how rational ppl negotiate. Why harm yourself by canceling a fight that you want, if it is still possible?
Canelo can find a marketable opponent anytime he wants. There are tons of fighters of all types that will take that fight on short notice. If time was an issue like Canelo supporters claim, then Oscar would've been the one calling the fight off, not Canelo.

I get that but was it necessary for him to really call the whole thing off right now? He could have his plan b just like pac has with vargas and Floyd has with cotto or khan. Start negotiating being the scenes looking for another opponent incase the cotto fight falls through. You guys are acting as if cotto called off the canelo fight he didn't the negotiations were still on the table before canelo decided he didn't wanna wait.
There's also the financial side to consider, if Cotto turned down GBP's best possible deal then really what is left to discuss?

They had to set a deadline. They had already given in to all of Cottos demands. They needed to know if Cotto was willing to fight. Remember that Floyds people were reaching out to Cotto. DLH could not wait and wait on Cotto only to see him make a backhand deal to fight Floyd. It's for this reason he set the deadline.
This is all about Cotto being the shady guy he is. If he wanted the fight he would have had it. He clearly didn't.
