If Cotto does not fight the good boy, is it a duck.

How much do ye reckon Cotto would pull in if he split the purse 50/50 with canelo as opposed to say 75-25 with GGG.? No idea myself just wondering.

it's tough to say. canelo and cotto would do 600K buys, especially on a mexican holiday weekend. that's my guess. maybe even a bit more. it would be a big, big fight. vegas, high rollers, closed circut sales, the whole nine. it's all about casual fans, and rich ones to boot.


who knows what cotto - golovkin does. maybe half of that? and who knows what it will bring to vegas?

Making GGG-Cotto in Vegas would be a funny move.

no way cotto and GGG is in Vegas. Gotta be MSG. Both fighters home base.

I honestly can't see why Canelo would get 50/50 of the split vs Cotto. Cotto made $7million in his last fight, Canelo made $1.5million. Both were the A side of a PPV bout.

Anyway, I think Cotto would probably make $5million against Canelo - I can see Canelo make a little less than that.

[Divine Hammer]

everyone is ducking GGG. canelo is pretending he is still a jr middleweight, quacklin is in the haymon protection program, cotto probably going to fight chavez jr, ward is in semi-retirement/hiding/probably going to join the haymon protection program.

i've never seen so many people fear one guy as much as GGG.

they can't gamble in new york...

MGM puts in a ton of effort to get huge fights at their casinos.

Why would both fighters, who have built their names in the NY area in in particular MSG, fight in Las Vegas when all their fans are there?

It would make more sense to have it in AC than in Vegas.

Put it at MSG, It symbolizes the rise of a new champion, the rise of a new possible cash cow.

GGG vs Cotto is step 1 for ggg becoming a ppv star. Beat somone badly on there home turf in front of his own fans and the casuals watching on TV So the Casuals can Learn the name Gennady Golovkin

Step 2, Fight another ppv fighter, Canelo, He should not be a ppv fighter but he happens to be one, Beat him in front of everyone and the casuals who waste money to see Canelo fight on ppv.

Step 3, Fight Chavez Jr, Jr should not be fighting on PPV's but the fact is simple that because of his name and the fact that GGG has been beating all challenges put in front of him will sell the fight. Though I want to see this fight, it is a fight that can wait.

Step 4. GGG is a PPV Star at this point and after the Chavez fight, He gets to lose to Andre Ward. Andre ward should be a ppv fighter and though he probably will never be one, he can still fight on PPV's anyway. Another fighter has to be the selling point. Ward will never lose, Ward beats GGG.

[PRPOWERPUNCHES]

Ordinarily I'd say Cotto is too small to fight Golovkin, but he is now the reigning middleweight champion of the world. If he expects anyone to respect and recognise his title, he must be willing to face all fighters within that weight class. Cotto should accept the fight or vacate the title and move back down to 154lbs.

First of all the TS is a straight up Beeyatch and just started following boxing after he saw Broner's boner on TV for the first time. Second of all if I were Cotto I would fight GGG for the unification belt. Make it happen but only at 155 Lbs if not he can go one making peanuts fighting the Qullin's of the world..
