Comments Thread For: Cotto's Adviser Says Team Canelo Won't Dictate Terms

[KnickTillDeaTh]

Don't get me wrong I think Cotto is a more stablished fighter than Canelo, but ask me this, when has Cotto broke the 1 million PPV buys by his own? having a B-side fighter.

Cotto vs Mayweather 1.5
Canelo vs Mayweather 2.2 (shattered live gate and ppv revenue of all time)

Cotto vs Martinez 300k (estimated)
Canelo vs Lara 300 k (estimated)

Cotto vs Anyone else not named Floyd or Pacquiao = never broke 1 million
Canelo vs Anyone else not named Floyd = never broke the 1 million

Concluson= Cotto is the more established but not by that much. 60/40 at the most in favor of Cotto, If he wants more he doesn't want the fight.

I agree with you Cotto gets the nod but not by much. Although I think this fight is too big for MGM or MSG. This fight should be held at Yankee stadium. Cotto was the last fight at the old stadium and he should be the first fight at the new one. Also Mayweather Pac should also be at a stadium.

Just make the bloody fight happen!
MSG, MGM, uncle Bob's back yard, just make the fight, put it on PPV, and we'll be happy to pay for it.

Off topic, but I thought Cotton fight in the new stadium in it's inaugural year

Cotta la puta

Cotto ducking already? It-s all about the money now? What happened to legacy? Cotto may be the A side in New York-Philly area but Canelo is the A side in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque, El Paso, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose, Chicago, etc. Cotto is simply afraid of Canelo just as he was of Rubio. After Margarito, he has nightmares of Mexicans beating him. He defeated Martinez because Chavez left him with a serious injury. Cotto is good, yes but always hiding.

I wanna see him avenge the Trout loss but if we get this or Floyd again I won't complain

Not that it matters terribly, but I think against Martinez it was reported as over 425k. Canelo vs Mayweather also had the better undercard, atleast in my estimation.

The fight against Martinez did a max of 350k buys. Probably closer to 300k.
