    Cotto is working with Arum so Floyd wouldn't accept that.

    Having the same trainer makes it hard to negotiate against Manny and the fights would be in Vegas, apparently Cotton doesn't fight there.
    Now that Team Cotto released those comments about dictating terms, you still think they don't have other options? Those options I mentioned look more and more like reality now.

    I tried to warn you guys, and moments later that gets released.

      What Cotto is able to "dictate" is the the actual amount of money for which he is ready give away the lineal 160 belt...

        that is called negotiations, and is part of boxing...

            Like I said earlier, you and any other dreamers will be in for a rude awakening. Team Cotto has only begun.

              How does their statement change anything? Everyone knows theyre going to try to dictate all terms, doesn't mean they'll be succesful. They can always walk away from the fight just to show Alvarez they're the A side and call the shots so we can then proceed to praise him for not budging and showing who's boss.

              Whatever Team Cotto said about being able to dictate terms doesn't change the fact this is realistically their best fight available. Again Mayweayher won't happen because Arum would be involved, he has the same trainer as Manny and the weight issue won't be resolved. GGG , well that's obviously not happening because he doesn't sell according to Roach.

                What you are forgetting though is that Team Cotto works with Top Rank on a fight by fight basis. So they can easily NOT work with Arum. Cotto is a true Free Agent. So the Mayweather rematch is still an option.

                And negotiating a rematch with Pacquaio is also still an option, because Arum is neutral ground. Top Rank can promote the fight themselves entirely, unlike the fight with Canelo. What complicates the matter is Roach.

                Roach also said Bradley didn't sell and wasn't interested, but Arum made that fight happen anyway. Cotto being a Free Agent by default gives him more options than Canelo.

                  You underestimate the desperate situation Floyd is facing as regarding his next Cinco de Mayo fight... I guess Floyd would work with Arum , as long as a Manny fight isn't involved...

                    Cotto isn't signed to Top Rank.
