Comments Thread For: Oscar: Fans Talking Cotto-Canelo More Than Floyd-Manny

[bojangles1987]

Don't fool yourself, Mayweather/Pacquiao ain't ever happening.

Cotto/Canelo WILL be the fight of 2015!

Okay, that doesn't mean people want to see Cotto/Alvarez more than Mayweather/Pacquiao. That won't be the case next week, next month, next year, or ever.

Mayweather and Pacquiao having a face to face on PPV would probably sell more than Cotto/Alvarez, let alone Mayweather and Pacquiao actually fighting.

Yeah, because we know Floyd won't fight Manny so why talk about it?

[davetheone]

True boxing fans definitely want to see Cotto Vs Canelo. Floyd vs anyone is a joke at this point and that's because Floyd is a joke.

But let's put things into perspective. Oscar wins regardless. If he sets up the Cotto vs Canelo fight in May and Mayweather choses to fight Paqiou or even Danny Garcia, Floyd might win the buys and the fans win too. And that just means Cotto vs Canelo gets made in June on the eve of the PR day parade and it will sell out the garden as well as do 2 million PPV buys.

If Floyd fights Khan on May 2nd, Oscar should definitely go ahead and make the Cotto Canelo fight on the same day. It's the better fight, it will do 2 million buys. I know i'm buying the cotto canelo fight. I'll catch Mayweather Khan on the replay the week after.

I think people are underestimating Cotto's popularity. Cotto, unlike Floyd has fought all comers and took the risk against Martinez; besides Chavez jr, nobody took that risk. Cotto also made history beating Sergio Martinez. Again, no one (and that includes Floyd Mayweather) was trying to make that move/take that risk.

For this reason Puerto Ricans and Mexicans make this fight the PPV Blockbuster on May 2nd and if Mayweather steps up and fights Paqiou, Oscar wins by forcing the may paq fight and Junes fight with cotto and canelo remains a blockbuster.

Oscar vs Floyd and Al Haymon in 2015? Oscar and Golden boy wins hands down!

Don't fool yourselves. Mayweather/Pacquiao is still by far the biggest fight in the sport, both in real life and here on NSB.

this...........

yeah right...

the only way floyd sells his next ppv is to fight maidana again, but this time:

1. maidana gets to wear his gloves
2. small ring size
3. maidana chooses referee
4. fight in argentina

Really? How did you come to this conclusion?

But back to the actual topic: Canelo Vs. Cotto is a huge fight, but its definitely not bigger than Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao. The only difference I see is REALITY. I still do not see Mayweather vs. Pacquiao happening anytime soon.

And another question why does Cotto get so much undeserved negativity? He's truly one of the few gentleman in the sport. I guess some people just have nothing better to do, other than to spew garbage just for the sake of it.

[Ruthless One]

Of course, Cotto-Canelo would interest more fans these days since there's a possibility of it happening. Floyd-Pac might never be done and most fans are tired of waiting.

[Wolfie*]

I'd rather watch Canelo/Cotto tbh. The other fight became stale to a lot of people.

[StrangerInTown]

Those who follow the sport know that Fraud/ Pac is still the holy grail.
They also recognize that the youth and tenacity displayed by Alvarez will end Miguel's career.

Golovkin is the real Canelo challenge and can be projected for Sept. 2015.

[Reloaded]

I think Floyd / Manny is still a bigger fight .

Its the only fight that Floyd can make to secure that date , otherwise Cotto Canelo will blow Floyd away .
