    If Canelo vs Cotto happens in May then the only guy Floyd could fight would be Manny. Otherwise, he gets blown off the date. I don't see why it matters to him anyway if he's not fighting a Mexican.

      And if GGG vs Ward is on that same card I'd pay about $90 for that PPV..

        the funny thing is everyone use to say that Chavez-Froch would bump Floyd off his date. Then they gave up and moved to Cotto-Canelo would without a doubt bump Floyd off his date. Now that those guys are doing PPV's on there own at only the 300's they are now stackng Cotto-Canelo with Triple G-Ward and people are actually talking trash about it like "Floyd better move now"......lol Thats pathetic. Next thing they will be trying to add Chavez-Froch to that card

          Arum/DLH can destroy Floyd/Haymon if they really wanted to. However, everyone(except DLH) wants money with the least amount of risk.

            That said-seats at a Floyd fight cost somewhat more than a Canelo fight. Since MGM is going to sell out with either card I think they'd go with the fight that would bring the larger gate.

            If TMT countered with Floyd/danny, Broner/Matts, Thurman/Porter that might do it.
            go oscar go....

            this promotional battle will be very interesting and more likely to benefit the fans..

            still, i can see bob will play a big role on how this plays out...

            and al would be just going with the flow....

                very keen observation....

                floyd declared a surprise for may 2015 and a lot of people put stock into it...

                hope it does not go the way like "pac you're next"

                  Lots of things that would have to go down like Cotto vs Canelo on HBO ppv .

                  Maybe Donaire vs Mares as the co feat I was thinking maybe Khan vs Bradley but I doubt Al Haymon would go for it.

                  No way GGG vs Ward happens no way Ward fights on the undercard no chance.

                    What do you guys think?

                    That proposed card would never happen. Besides, Mayweather could fight Chris Algieri or Danny Garcia and still beat out Cotto/Alvarez in PPV sales because he sells more than both of them combined.
