No announcement yet.
Which PPV would you get on Cinco De Mayo 2015? May vs Khan or Canelo vs Cotto?

is promoters and networks who do that and if MGM doesnt like it then they can prob choose not to be part of it, but then again there is also Thomas & Mack...
at the end of the day if floyd wants to use that date too both fights will take place in different venues, and in my opinion it will be a mistake from mgm to take parts with TMT instead of GBP-TR... but lets assume they pick TMT, do you actually believe TMT can put up a big event to compete with TR-GBP??

Thomas and mack is a terrible venue for a fight-thats why it hasn't been used much lately.
If they stand to make more from the floyd fight it's not a mistake. If the numbers show canelo v cotto is more profitable-then they would surely choose that fight.
I think gbp has the date on reserve. Maybe odh decides **** it and wants canelo there to screw floyd. That makes sense.

Either way, they also have to look out for their own interest and Floyd casually talking about fighting in NYC and UK is not in their interest. If they can capture Canelo's loyalty from the jump, then that bodes well. Much like they captured FLoyd's loyalty and much like the Garden captured Cotto's loyalty.
It's all quite fascinating - and we're all just speculating. I think GBP and TR will want to maximize the earning potential of Cotto-Canelo, and no matter how anyone slices it, competing against Floyd just hurts everyone's bottom line. Floyd fights in May, Cotto/Canelo in June. Maximize viewership
Yeah I don't think anyone really wins when 3 of the 4 biggest US draws fight at the same time. But it would be interesting to see the fallout.
