Apparently HBO won't host Cotto's next fight unless Canelo is guaranteed next.

LOL cuz arum is a scumbag as usual when he doesn't get what he wants. You don't think cotto is gonna fight at the barclays? Yeah, about that... Steve Kim @steveucnlive · 2h 2 hours ago Been told that DiBella/Haymon have a hold on June 20th at the Barclay, which would complicate a Cotto bout there for June 6th #boxing

Exactly idiot he fought Mayweather and pacquiao two fighters better than Canelo so why would he duck him? I know you ain't talking when Mauricio herrera beat your boys motha f0ckin a$$ in Puerto Rico.

I'm sure it'll be Heiland or Bradley. HBO would probably accept Heiland and WBC could/would back it, but if HBO wants Canelo next what's going to happen to GGG if the WBC says GGG is the mandatory?

Legit? To a certain extent.. hence "Apparently" in the title. Steve Kim is somewhat reliable I guess. Anyone who took this information as 100% fact mislead themselves anyways. Got it ! thanks :beerchug:

According to Steve Kim's tweet. Word is that HBO isnt going to do Cotto***39;s next fight unless there***39;s a commitment to do Canelo next. They want a safety net #boxing— Steve Kim (@steveucnlive) March 22, 2015 Thoughts? I think its good HBO is forcing Cotto to give them better fights. They want GGG to become a star by fighting Cotto. Is this considered legit information?

Congrates to HBO maybe there is some integrity on TV? Ray.

Good for verdejo to get that date. There you go.

That's all you needed to say. no thats all you wanted to hear. Ill repeat it cuz it happens eventually: Good for verdejo to get that date. However, eventually he'll leave bob arum just like everybody else.

Why can't Cotto just wait in September, Cotto vs Canelo. Come on use your brain why would he fight Canelo off a year and a half layoff? Mosley messed around and did that and was never the same you guys can't be this stupid!

Why can't Cotto just wait in September, Cotto vs Canelo. He was already handed that fight in a gift basket and treated like elvis presley at the negotiations and wouldn't do it, why would he change his mind in september?

puuuuuuuuttttttoooooo......cccccoooootttttttttttoooooo. ... Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

When you look at his record and the condition his opponents were in, this will actually be one of Cotto's tougher fights. Sad but true.

there's always showtime. cotto is'nt kissing HBO's ass Meh......he better step up his game because K9 ain't cutting it.

When someone puts Cotto higher on the ATG list than Oscar, you know you can't take him seriously :lol1: Oscar shuldnt be on anyone's atg list. After the trinidad and Hopkins dabacle he became and still is a farce

Canelo is such a Diva and a Moron.... first he though he could compete for the 5 May weekend vs top 3 ppv stars. Then he thought he could out negotiate Cotto and goes a pulls out the negotiations. If he would've wait after Floyd's announcement the Cotto fight could have been sign the same week. Now what he has? Neither. ..nor the Cotto fight and nor the 5 Mayo weekend fight.

It's about time HBO made this move. But why would they inisist on Canelo next instead of GGG, the #1 contender to cotto's title? GGG must be pissed off. More money of course.

Because he isn't getting 50 million for 3 fights. He's getting 50 million for 3 fights and promoting things outside of boxing. Read more than just one story... And I read other stories that stated he was getting 50 million for three fights PLUS more money for other endeavors that could bring the total close to 100 million. So basically the facts are that no one has a damn clue how much the contract is for or exactly what it covers. And unless Roc Nation decide to disclose the terms, we will never know.
