Really, I don't care what date or where as long as the fight gets done. But it looks like Canelo got the date he wanted and the Venue (kinda, Cotto wanted NY).

WarCanelo!!
I believe that. It was always gonna be in Vegas, I think everyone knew this.
EDIT: Actually, didn't HBO have a qualm with Nov 7 overlapping with a college football game or something? I forget the story.
it says: 2015-11-21
Doesn't it make more sense either in Texas or in NY? Or maybe even in LA. I know that usualy the big fight in Las Vegas but as far as I know the most Rican in America live on the East coast, NY etc... and the most Mexican-American are in the border states like Cali, New-Mexico or Texas...
Whatever, I guess they will fill the arena either way.
Haven't we learned by now that Boxrec is extremely unreliable?
They're notorious for getting things wrong and there were recent articles saying that Nov 7th was out of the question because it wasn't in HBO's best interest.
Sometimes I get tired of Las Vegas being the de facto venue for fights, does get repetitive.
But this is a fight that has to happen in Vegas. Neutral turf, on PPV, 12,000 capacity and the Mandalay Bay is an amazing hotel as well.
wasn't there an article here on sat where cottos advisor says nov 7 is out of the running? and an article here yesterday "the cotto-canelo is reportedly heading to the mandalay bay in las vegas on November 21 and on hbo ppv"
Cotto is the A side whatever Cotto want he gets .....Cotto want msg so I don't believe this
how big of a phaggot are you to mimic him? You forgot to call him el Rey, goof.
Cotto is the A side whatever Cotto want he gets .....Cotto want msg so I don't believe this
canelo 31k fans, cotto 12k
canelo 2 million viewers, cotto 1.6
canelo reportedly made 3.5 mill, cotto reportedly made 2 million
how is cotto the a-side? you can't just say you are the a-side.
I believe that. It was always gonna be in Vegas, I think everyone knew this.
