Miguel Cotto options. Because of his contract with Roc Nation, he will ONLY fight PPV. These are his only options I can see in or near his weight class that will do decent on PPV.
1.Bradley vs Cotto would be good
2.Cotto vs Danny Garcia would be good!!!
3.Cotto vs Keith Thurman or Shawn Porter would be good.
4.No 154lber is made for PPV. Maybe Lara.
5.Earl Spence don't have a fan base yet
6.Rematch with Paquiao is out the question
7.Maybe Amir Khan vs Cotto is PPV
8.He can go up and fight Billy Joe Sanders on PPV for the 160 strap. Billy Joe has the UK behind him and his not a big puncher!!!
9.Maybe Jessie Vargas since they trying to pump these whack dude up!!!
Every opponent just named can be ready by October or December.
do you want to see better Cotto vs Pacquiao at 150lb
Cotto need to make his 15million and this is the only way
Correct. Cotto was just offering 150 to Marquez. So Pac is makable, and biggest fight available to both
why is out of question with Paquiao

He isn't fighting any of the PBC guys...
So his only true PPv opponents for him
Bradley
Marquez
Manny 2
My money is on bradley, as bradley has a huge guarantee minimum from top rank and the only way for top rank to afford it is by placing Tim in big fights vs manny, marquez, cotto.. Fighting guys like diego chavez doesn't pay the bills, bradley is not a strong A-side draw
Lol, they're probably talking to Khan.
Miguel Cotto, in final fight with Roc Nation, is said to be happy with Jay Z

Miguel Cotto has one fight remaining on his contract with Roc Nation, which is expected to take place in December at a venue in South Florida. Officials are said to be close to announcing some details, such as a possible opponent, by the end of the week.
Since signing a lucrative deal with Roc Nation in March of 2015, Cotto has fought just twice, destroying Daniel Geale in four rounds last June and losing a competitive decision to Canelo Alvarez in November. Still, despite the lack of activity, Cotto’s close friend Bryan Perez, who helps run Miguel Cotto Promotions, said the boxer is very happy with Roc Nation, and though he wouldn’t come out and say it, his rosy outlook suggests Cotto will likely continue his affiliation with Jay Z’s agency.
“We have a great relationship with Roc Nation,” Perez told ******.com. “We’re very happy with everything. We will see what’s in the future after this fight. We’ll sit down and talk and go over it. We’re very happy with the relationship we have established and we’ll work on it after the fight. It’s Miguel’s decision and his vision but I want to say he feels very happy with Roc Nation and the way they have handled everything, so we’ll see what happens.”
The subject of Cotto’s next fight has been an unending stream of rumor and speculation. Cotto, 35, was angling to return this summer but couldn’t find a suitable opponent. Now, he’s playing the opponent game once again with Juan Manuel Marquez and even Brandon Rios surfacing as possible candidates only for those talks to collapse. Perez said progress has been made on that front and he could have more news by Friday.
“We’re just waiting on Roc Nation to give us the latest update,” Perez said. “Miguel is looking to come back in the fall. We should have more news by the end of this week but he’s excited to be back and is ready for the next challenge. All I can say is Miguel will be back in the fall. That’s the plan.”
With Cotto (40-5, 33 knockouts) fighting just once this year, Perez was asked if the former four-division champion hopes to be more active in 2017. As normally is the case when it comes to Cotto, Perez played things close to the vest. “We always work fight to fight so I cannot tell you a plan for 2017,” he said. “But we’ll definitely search for the biggest opportunity that is presented to Miguel.”

Cotto/Thurman would be awesome. However Cotto rejected a fight with Brook at 154 in the US, so I doubt he'd accept Thurman.
“That would have been the perfect, perfect fight,” Hearn said to ******.com. “HBO loved the fight and I spoke to Roc Nation and they said we don’t want to fight Kell Brook. And I don’t blame them because Kell Brook hasn’t got the name in the U.S. yet, and it’s too much risk for Miguel Cotto. There’s easier guys for Cotto to fight with bigger profiles in the U.S., so that fight never made sense to Cotto.”

Roc Sports also tried to do business with Andrade which kept him on the shelf for almost 2 years. So put Banner on that list also.
So Andrade and Algieri and Willie Monroe are out of the picture.
So his options are down to ...
Andy Lee
Billy J Saunders
Chris Eubank Jr.
Curtis Stevens
Brandon Rios (free agent right now)
James Kirkland
Roc Nation is horrible.
They have no ties to Haymon because of the jay-z beef, and from trying to steal some of his fighters.
They ruined ties with Top Rank when they signed Cotto in the first place.
And they screwed up their relationship with Golden Boy by haggling over insignificant amounts of money from the Canelo-Cotto fight.
Unless, they can get a Canelo rematch, they are absolutely screwed financially, no matter what Cotto does next. And with a huge guarantee out there for Cotto to do at least one more fight with Roc Nation, there is no way he retires.
Great shout with Garcia. To be fair Danny vs any top Welter (plus cotto) would be great. What's he even doing, I'd be happy with him even fighting Broner right now, let alone thurman or pac.
Yeah Cotto vs. Bradley would be the only one worth it. Itd have to have a decent undercard though for it to be ppv. Itd also be nice if they could find an alphabet title to fight for but I think they are all filled at this time unless an interim could be made available.
