Comments Thread For: Cotto Offered Over $10 Million For Canelo in March

[FightingWords]

I really like this fight. .... 2 top 154 boxer/punchers with decent power going head 2 head.

[-Kev-]

I don't know if he would even make half of that with Martinez. He should take it. I bet Schaefer basically told Cotto he has to stay with GBP for the remainder of his career though.

I'm assuming you did not read the article. Just read the title and went ahead and made your post?

wow. I really want to see this fight, although Martinez vs. Cotto would be great too.

HUGE risk for Canelo. He loses and he's off. Losing to Floyd is fine; to Cotto at this stage would be murder for his career.

Canelo vs Cotto will do better PPV numbers and live gate than a Cotto vs Martinez fight. The person Cotto will make more with is a Mayweather rematch.

if he fights Martinez on Puerto Rican day weekend at Giants Stadium I bet it sells out if it's priced right. 80,000 seats.

didn't Cotto sell out Yankee Stadium basically buy himself??

Ricans love the guy and will pay to see him

Schaefer can't seem to find an opponent for Canelo in his own stable that could match Cotto's PPV power. Most are of the high risk, low reward variety. Schaefer is desperate.

Martinez, on the other hand, would be ****** to pick Golovkin over Cotto.

the attendance will great; but if sell 80,000k you will have alot of cheap seats. Canelo vs Trout had a 40 k attendance while Floyd vs Ghost 15k. But the Floyd vs Ghost double the live gate money of that fight.

No. Yankee stadium was a good turnout but the stadium is huge and was half empty. They announced 30K but it was more like 22k which is what sells out MSG. There's no way a fight at MetLife Stadium would look good. It's a HUGE 80K facility. Even if Canelo brings along his 22k that's 44k. The stadium would look half empty.

I always thought Cotto would beat Canelo. Hope it happens.
