Canelo: "I'm fighting in May and Sept regardless who else fights!"

[Mitchell Kane]

Exactly. To be honest who cares about this fight? It's not bigger than Mayweathers name alone. If Floyd fight Khan or Brook, Cotto-Canelo are getting only a 100 buys. Canelo, HBO, GB are so desperate which is why many is facing these lawsuits trying to make desperation moves.

Kell Brook is going to sell pay per views in the US?

Think about it, there's no notable fight out there for Mayweather. Cotto-Canelo will corner most of the Latino market, which is huge in the USA. Mayweather complained about the way his team handled promoting his last fight. He's probably never going to work with GBP again so his next fight will most likely be handled by TMT 100%.

I don't think Floyd goes head to head with Cotto-Canelo in May

I have thought about it. Floyd has 2 fights left he says and though Canelo is the "Future" he isnt there yet. He can build now on HBO and be established on both networks. But instead GBP wants to leave money on table by doing this. From a business standpoint it makes no sense. But hey im here and they are there so maybe they feel itll work. I think its unnecessary especially when canelo/cotto can sell on any date

Cotto vs Canelo will be huge, can't wait! Hell, maybe we can get the rematch in September!

dont you terrorize the flowmoes no more...

Alvarez is big enough to call his shots like this. He makes enough of an impact to threaten any of the other top names and make them change dates around them or lose buys going against him.

He wouldn't beat out Mayweather, especially not Mayweather's last fight in September, but he'd dent him.

canelo doesnt need huge numbers to make a good profit, him and hbo make more money on ppv even if doesnt bring huge numbers instead of fighting on regular hbo...2 ppvs + 1 regular hbo fight per year sounds good...

Mayweather's making changes to his team, has no established promotional ties (w/out GBP) and no opponent.

Who's going to supply the promotion, the opponent, the undercard?

Hard to see how they're going to compete with Cotto-Canelo with an undercard with several other Mexican fighters on Cinco de Mayo...especially if the Mayweather opponent is a British fighter.

You know what.. I like Canelo Alvarez.

He is a gentleman and a scholar of the sport and if nothing else acts like a true champion. Like the ones of old.

I was really hard on him at one point, but he demanded Trout, and since has fought nothing but good fights. He does act like a champion, and deserves respect for it.

He completely turned my opinion on him around when he took the Lara fight.

Canelo is mexican and the rightful heir to the throne. He deserves those dates by birthright and deserves to put on a show for his people and his country. Floyd can fight on the 4th of July.

lol LEGOOOOOOO!! floyd can fight on 4th of July for sure

[El Angel]

Canelo won't like fighting in May after he shares a ring with the KING. Hope he bounces back for his September fight.
