Not cotto. He is trying to Force Floyd's hand to fight Manny.

I know............... but the only thing is he won't be the one promoting it

It would definitely be on showtime for sure. As would Canelo vs Cotto.

May can't come quick enough

Canelo-cotto is bigger than any Floyd fight except for manny and maybe khan

Yea on Showtime but will not involve Goldenboy

Oscar is not ****** enough to go against Mayweather. Alvarez cannot draw more than 300,000 PPVs on his own. The Alvarez/Lara fight did so poorly on PPV that Oscar decided to put Alvarez's next fight on regular cable when he was originally planning to put Alvarez on three PPV fights this year.

The only way Alvarez will be fighting on that weekend is if he is fighting some stiff on regular HBO an hour before the Mayweather fight starts.

Tell me exactly why your fake PPV hero has to fight on a Mexican holiday?

I know this is unrealistic and plain delusional, but why not feature them on the same card? A co-main event that's actually worth a damn. Let's be honest here folks, this past Saturdays card was a little bit disappointing and those who shelled out the $75.00 should be upset. I wouldn't mind paying top dollar to see both these guys on the same night versus formidable opposition. Who’s with me?

Not delusional at all. I can see Alvarez/Kirkland on Mayweather's undercard because it damn sure won't be on a stand alone PPV. The only PPV fight out there for Alvarez is against Cotto and I don't think Cott would take that fight knowing that Mayweather is planning to fight that weekend because, like all fighters, he wants to maximize his economic potential.

Maybe this is a stretch but I don't see Mayweather vs (Someone not named Manny) outdoing Cotto-Canelo in May.

Mayweather/Khan in a UK stadium would be a huge event that can compete with Cotto/Canelo in May.

Floyd didn't seem too confident on fighting in May in the post-fight interview.


Age is really going to catch up to Mayweather, if he doesn't fight in May he should try and fight sooner.
