canelo-cotto update...

[Lords]

Canelo is to slow and flat footed, Cotto outboxes him to a victory.

[KickAzz]

What has Cotto done to earn this high-dollar fight?

Cotto is the 3rd biggest draw in boxing, that's why the ginger is begging for a fight

[kombayn]

Who cares about money. Cotto is a wealthy man win lose or draw. That's not the point. Martinez is a chance to make history for the island. If Manny was able to fight for a vacant belt at 154 based on his name and resume alone then Cotto's contribution to the sport should count for something as well.
If they're bound to clash(Canelo) then it's cool but a Sergio fight has it's fair share of drama and buzz. Needless to say, they both work with TopRank so it's the easier fight to make.

Cotto promotes himself and does Mayweather-type co-promotion deals like he did with Golden Boy & Top Rank recently. Second, Sergio is promoted by Lou DiBella & his promotional company DiBella Entertianment.

You like boxing, but don't follow it. Anyways, Cotto took this fight if it comes true like B O X R E C .com says because of the guaranteed $10 million purse. Golden Boy wouldn't offer that if they didn't think there was a buzz.

I do think that the fight can take place Cinco de Mayo as I don't think Mayweather is fully committed to the date, he can sell his name and fights by himself.

Make it happen. Canelo will get schooled by Cotto.

I have to say that Mar 8th is too soon for Cotto. That's only 3 months and I dont think that Miguel will be training too hard in Dec, given the way Christmas is celebrated by the Puertorican people. We like to party and eat hard during the holidays! lol!

Plus, not enough time for the promo, etc. I think that April will be a better date and when El Angel finishes Canelo, it will be enough time for promo and training with a Floyd rematch!

yahoo forums in mexico are loaded by televisa network haters, you can check anything from the national soccer team , to club america or canelo and is going to be loaded by negative comments, they like to mix sports with politics and basically will tell you that if you support soccer or any televisa network athletes then you are ******...

lmao so true, the hatred for Televisa is BIG in yahoo forums

Canelo is no slouch. Mayweather-Canelo sold over 2 million because Canelo was part of the PPV. If Mayweather fights a scrub, it doesn't hit 1.2 million.

At this point, Cotto vs. Scrub would sell less than Canelo vs. Scrub

Facts are facts. Live with them.

I want to see what Canelo will pull (PPV) without Cotto.

Delusional Canelo fans.

Fact: Cotto = 3rd Biggest PPV pull in the USA.

Fact: Canelo = Hyperjob has been exposed, Mexican people dont give's a fugg about him, a PPV with Canelo vs scrub = Crap PPV.

Fact: Canelo NEEDS Cotto for PPV, Cotto DOES NOT needs Canelo.

[Light_Speed]

According to this spanish ESPN article, Canelo is giving Cotto one more week to decide if he's going to take the fight otherwise he's going to fight Carlos Molina or Trout-Lara winner .

Another reason for the Cotto/Canelo fight not to happen.

You guys need to use common sense. Martinez is hurt and won't be back until mid-to-late summer. Why would Cotto wait for him?

He took the $10 million to fight Canelo in March.

I said it before and I'm saying it now. This is already a done deal.

Why wait till mid-summer and make less money? He has the most amount of money he's ever made right in front of him. Cotto isn't an idiot.

Jesus.

It's not just about the money, fighting Martinez would be an opportunity for Cotto to improve his legacy and he'll make a lot of money too. Not to mention Martinez is declining rapidly, he could lose his title soon, but Canelo has no title and is still very young. Logic tells us Martinez should be the priority.
