Floyd Mayweather Jr dares Cotto and Canelo to fight on the same date

[Build That Wall]

It's not like Cotto/Canelo HAS to take place in Las Vegas.

Yes it does. In NY, Cotto gets a gift. In LA and Texas, Canelo gets a gift. Canelo would beat Cotto anyway. But f**k that fight. I wanna see GGG beat both of these dudes before they even think about fighting each other.

"we can fight for free, give it to charity"
*rejects 40million dollar offer

Rejecting the 40 million was a matter of fairness. The offer Floyd gave Manny was disrespectful and not fair whatsoever.

Fighting for charity meant fair pay to both Floyd and Pacquiao.

[Scipio2009]

Really? You are all over the place. 40 mil bullshiiit offer with no ppv revenue. Even his own fans say thats a bs deal. "we can fight for free, give it to charity" was his response for mayweather saying he just wants a pay day.
You flowmos can't stay consistent can you?
Pacquiao talks, "oh hes desperate for a pay day doe"
Pacquiao doesnt talk, "oh he doesnt want the fight doe".

The only people who still believe that the $40m of fighter revenue to Pacquiao was a bad offer are the folks who, in their hearts, seem to earnestly believe that that Mayweather-Pacquiao would generate $400m-$500m in revenue, which is ridiculous.

Just to give folks some scope, $25m at the gate would mean that, on PPV, the fight would be sold for $100 per home and 3.5m homes would have to buy the fight, a near full million homes more, at basically double the price, than the most bought fight in the history of the sport.

And even with that, it'd still be under.

Pacquiao gets $40m on the front-end, and Mayweather make $60m+ on the back-end. Even at those numbers, you're looking at a $200m revenue fight, which is just short of the prior revenue record. lol

I dare floyd to say " I want to fight Pacquiao "

Floyd has 4 of the 5 biggest gates in Vegas history- 2 of those were the Maidana fights. MGM will surely give arena to Floyd.

GBP just lost the backing from the company that owns Staples center and about 100 other big US arenas. WHere exactly is he going to stage fight?

Lets stop making Canelo and Cotto bigger than they are.I know a lot of you hate this-but Canelo and Cotto are not big names to mainstream, middle class US casual fans that purchase ppv's. Floyd is, despite his "brand" and name taking a huge hit with all the BS and DV stuff.

Interesting to see where all this goes. But Floyd is a proven commodity-the other guys, not so much. Floyd is still seen as the best in the business-and he beat these 2.

Time will tell.

Floyd got 30 million guarantee. and if maidana-maweather2 sell 900k pvp mayweather-khan may sell the same way. but if there are 2 pvp in cinco de mayo floyd may sell more pvp than cotto-canelo but showtime will loss more.

pvp is not an exact math. circumstances surrounding the fight will boost pvp. even if canelo and cotto got lower pvp buys on their own if they fight in may 5, they'll have a good back story. mexico vs puerto rico, taking back cinco de mayo from floyd- will boost mexican nationalistic pride.

lol@pvp. Pay View Per?

[Kuyukut]

no way in hell can fraud jr beats canelo/cotto ppv on a cinco de mayo (of course except if fraud grows a pair and fight pac).

[Ruthless One]

Who will Mayweather fight to do better than Cotto/Canelo on Cinco de Mayo?

[Build That Wall]

Mayweather vs Garcia: The people that would tune in would be the casuals, Mayweather fans, and Garcia fans.

Canelo vs Cotto would get everyone else.


The Casuals represent a large part of the PPV Buys.

Yes it does. In NY, Cotto gets a gift. In LA and Texas, Canelo gets a gift. Canelo would beat Cotto anyway. But f**k that fight. I wanna see GGG beat both of these dudes before they even think about fighting each other.

In Vegas and Texas, Canelo gets a definite gift. In NY, that favors Cotto. It's funny how people assume Canelo vs. Cotto will take place. That fight will be DIFFICULT to negotiate. The selection of venue alone will be a major problem.
