Canelo is the future and he's Mexican. Floyd should not hog the Mexican holidays especially since he is NOT Mexican. Now he is facing another NON mexican. If I was Canelo and GBP i'd go head to head, surely they will get higher ppv numbers than this joke of a fight!
Mayweather vs Berto would be a good undercard fight on Canelos PPV with Cotto.
Are you sure everyone would be snoozing unless everyone uses their alarms on their smart phones
Mayweather vs Berto would be a good undercard fight on Canelos PPV with Cotto.
no need for a stinker, imagine both doing the shoulder roll staring at each other...
Cotto vs Canelo would out sell that mismatch by a mile. Oscar wants a rematch clause for the Cotto vs Canelo fight and Cotto has every right to refuse to sign the contract until Oscar drops that rematch bullsh*t. Damn, Oscar, have some faith in your fighter. If Canelo can't win the first time he doesn't deserve a rematch. I am sure this is cautious Oscar wanting this rematch clause. I think Canelo would be glad to fight with no rematch clause. Either way I agree with Cotto for demanding there be no rematch clause.
Cotto v Canelo will do bigger numbers that Mayweather v Berto, literally no doubt in my mind about that. There are only two Mayweather fights on PPV that didn't need an angle to sell: 1. The DLH fight and 2. the Manny fight.
Now the whole angle is retirement, which a lot of true boxing fans know is BS and they know Berto ain't ****.
But, Cooto v Canelo can do fine in NOvember and it's just an unnecessary nuisance to compete for a September date this year. If Canelo wins, and solidifies himself as the new PPV king, he can have nay date he wants in 2016 barring May/Pac 2.
Thats probably why Floyd waited so long to announce this fight. He knows now its too late for the cotto-canelo fight to be in september. Cuz it would of sold waay more than the berto fight
Why would Cotto cost himself money by going against Floyd? Even if it did more buys it affects their own pockets. The only people with a grudge are Oscar and Canelo... They hate Floyd and know they can't beat him in the ring so they would try these lame attempts of "damaging him." Cotto is a real man and he also holds a grudge against Floyd. The difference is, as I stated, Cotto is a real man and will try to beat him in the ring not "outdo" Floyds number that ONE time to justify how great they are.
That's what Canelo does though, he got a good rating ONE TIME. He got a lot of buys ONE TIME... Yet Oscar and Canelo think they do that all the time which is false. He should probably call himself Saul "one time" Alvarez instead. Or maybe Saul "Got my good numbers off of Floyd" Alvarez.
Cotto is going to lose so who cares about Mayweather
Canelo is the future and he's Mexican. Floyd should not hog the Mexican holidays especially since he is NOT Mexican. Now he is facing another NON mexican. If I was Canelo and GBP i'd go head to head, surely they will get higher ppv numbers than this joke of a fight!
It's a good thing you aren't in charge of GBP.

OK. Now let's discuss the real world. Mayweather/Guerrero and Mayweather/Maidana individually outsold Cotto and Canelo's highest PPV as the A-side COMBINED. Cotto/Canelo will probably do 800,000 max. Mayweather/Berto....let's say 500-600K.
You schedule them on the same day, both PPVs will suffer, but guess who has the $32 million guarantee? Everybody loses except Floyd.
It's a flat out stupid move from every angle.
Should they? Do you consider that to be a wise idea?
As soon as Oscar got confirmation that Mayweather was fighting on September 12th he put his hand on Canelo's shoulder and told them that he won't be fighting that date.
They aren't going to compete with Mayweather.
