Is Oscar thinking straight? This May 5th thing makes no sense

Are you making stuff up again? Provide an article that is proof of your claim or else get reported.

It doesn't make sense to go head to head.

Both PPVs will suffer.

Yup. Dumbass idea. I think he's banking on Mayweather to cough up the date. Who knows, eithe way, it's a dumb ass idea, imo.

[Daylyt]

When did he say he wanted to do both on the same night?

This, I am tired of these posters posting fake topics to suit their agenda.

OP provide the link to the source.

I'd rather pay to see Canelo vs Cotto than Mayweather vs Khan.

[JJRod]

He wants to make Canelo-Cotto on that date on HBO...Then Mayweather-Khan on the same date on Showtime?? and he wants to promote/co promote both?? isn't that cutting his money?? how is this a great idea?

Obviously he won't promote both fights at the same time. If he gets the Cotto/Canelo fight in May, that is the fight he'll promote.

He also knows he isn't going to be promoting Mayweathers next fight. Haymon and Schaffer will. And I believe that Khan is a Haymon fighter.

[IMDAZED]

It boils down to whether or not Mayweather wants to fight in May. Because if he does, that rules out the MGM and with that Las Vegas. Unless Canelo doesn't mind fighting in Cotto's casa.

... like he was really promoting Floyd's last fight either...

[Bigg Rigg]

Unless Floyd is fighting someone people would rather watch instead of Cotto vs Canelo, then Floyd should fall back. And I don't wanna hear ya Floyd fans start saying that Khan is a great and credible opponent cuz ya be ****ting all over him.

... and Khan can't fight in September -- it has to be in May for Khan...

It only makes sense if they (hbo, GBP, canelo) want to really mess with floyd and showtime and have canelo-cotto up against floyd-not manny..

with floyd-manny, nothing can compete with it,, but if its canelo-cotto and say floyd-khan/thurman,, then i think no doubt that canelo-cotto can be a major thorn in the side of floyd..

canelo is gonna bring the mexican fanbase
cotto brings the ricans
the style matchup will bring the other hardcore fans..

floyd will have the urban market
some of the casuals, but they are getting bored with floyd in a hurry since he isnt exciting in the ring.. I dont think casuals will flock to canelo-cotto, but they also wont flock to floyd-khan, thurman, brook...

If they both did h2h, i think they both do around 600k, which would be a success for canelo and cotto, but a disaster for floyd and showtime....
