Not very excited about this match up. I would rather Floyd fight Manny. If it takes longer to get all the deal done so what. That May 2nd date isn't set in stone. Both sides need to stay the course and I don't want to see either side walk away.
This............. Lets go in June, July, August, Sept. Doesn't need to be May 2nd and fighting Cotto is a giant dump. Cotto gets his ass kicked again 9-3.
Floyd would win again thats why no one cares about this fight. i hope it'll even be easier than the first one just because I hate cotto for actually backing out with the canelo deal to be available to floyd when the world wants the manny fight.
The world wants Mayweather vs Pacquiao and Canelo vs Cotto and these guys are in no rush to give that to us. Well I know Mayweather and Pacquiao want to fight eachother, and Canelo is desperate for Cotto, but Cotto seems like he's in no rush for Canelo. Kinda crazy since that's a big PPV fight. He's definitely pulling a Winky Wright.
All that is left is for Cotto to announce that he is fighting Demetrius Andrade on HBO WCB. A fight that sure, Cotto should get props for taking because it's high risk low reward, but it would be a WTF moment, business/career wise. Like fighting Trout right after the Mayweather loss instead of a "get back on the win column" type of fight. Although I admit I scored Cotto-Trout a draw, it was still too risky right after a loss. Looked more like a favor to Haymon for Haymon 'letting' him fight his cash cow. I guess there was a deal some where in there where Cotto had to fight one more Haymon fighter win or lose after Mayweather. Just speculating, cause Cotto can't be that crazy all on his own.
Floyd would win again thats why no one cares about this fight. i hope it'll even be easier than the first one just because I hate cotto for actually backing out with the canelo deal to be available to floyd when the world wants the manny fight.

Arum says Showtime loses 10-12 million each Floyd fight. Cotto will want $13 mill to fight Floyd again, 10 mill more than typical Floydfoe

Arum said Cotto wants at least 13 mill, ten mill more than usual Floyd foe. Floyd can get 32 mill "fighting a busboy." Floyd wants at least.

...an extra 10 mill to fight Cotto, this rematch would do maybe 1.1 million. That means, he thinks Showtime would lose 20 mill on Cotto fite

Bob says Cotto should do it, but economic climate is different. Sequel would do fewer buys, says CBS won't do it and lose money

Floyds lost a lot more steps than Cotto has. As long as he doesn't try to box which he won't under Roach I see it as a 50/50 fight
7-5 either way
I see nothing but a competitive fight throughout. No mismatch here, Floyd ain't schooling anyone.
Nice bump. This thread should be stickied soon.
I sort of look forward to read the floydstans defense strategy. I expect it to be gutwrenching.
How is this a nice bump he only made the thread a week ago lol.
