Mayweather Jr. vs Cotto on Cinco de Mayo 2015?

[MDPopescu]

floyd has two fights left, and is not like cotto-canelo wont make money...
MGM has to look for the future and that is canelo... and if they dont Thomas and Mack will be more than happy...

Canelo is Oscar's "future" -- his only future at this moment...
Haymon or Floyd may have different visions about the same "future"... Pretty much visions of their own...

As I said here before: the months to come will be quite funny to closely watch with this respect...

forget haymond and floyd, canelo already sells out the MGM fighting nonames, mgm knows today who is the future of the sport and is not even close...

So you assume that Canelo "grabs" the Cotto fight for Cinco de Mayo while Floyd ruins his retiring fights -- unless he accepts the Pacquiao fight the same day... Right?

oscar already has the MGM booked , unless floyd fights pac which i believe is closer than ever, if not canelo-cotto takes 5 de mayo.. floyd can use another date if he doesnt fight pacman and it wont be the end of the world... i believe canelo-cotto is already setup and unless floyd-pac comes to the table nothing is going to stop canelo-cotto..

[Don Pichardo]

may v paq does not require cinco de mayo to be a super hit. That can happen on any single day. Cotto v canelo will be much bigger on cinco de mayo than any other day. I expect if those two fights happen near each other, the powers that be will understand that and set those fight accordingly.

All seem to look good as you put it...

But Floyd isn't ready to lose control over the boxing. Floyd would want to become Middleweight lineal champion (the biggest and unexpected career prize for him at this stage) and he doesn't want to fight his nemesis Manny -- who can't provide any higher reward right now... Do you agree?

i agree and makes sense, but seems like cotto-canelo is already setup for 5 de mayo, there is a reason why they are looking for tuneups instead of fighting each other now...

And what are the tuneups have to do with what will really happen on Cinco de Mayo? (Both would need a tuneup for that fight -- whatever it will be.)
I think that you actually want to convince yourself rather than me...

Oscar (who was absent last night) recently stated that he is working to set the canelo-Cotto fight on Cinco de Mayo next year... Don't tell me you didn't know...

link?..........

[MrRolltide91]

yeah, no doubt. I believe GBP and not Floyd has reserved the MGM for that date.

At the end of the day, Floyd makes everyone in Vegas money when he fights. Will the MGM and other businesses agree to push Floyd out if they feel it undercuts one of their 2 most profitable weekends of the year?

Floyd has his promotional license right?


he could fight on another date or another arena.
