Bob Arum: "Cotto-Canelo Negotiations Have Started"

[Divine Hammer]

WBC is after money. That's why they let Cotto fight Sergio in the first place. That was a big fight. And Canelo is a bigger star than GGG. He might not be better but he's the bigger star. It's like Chavez and Ward. One is a big "star" and the other is te better fighter.

i don't buy that at all. GGG is a bigger star attraction than canelo and is more pleasing to the casuals. plus it's already been proven that showtime lied about canelo's numbers.

whens the last time canelo scored a stunning in your face KO against a guy in his division?

None of that really matters though. Canelos the bigger star of he two. If u can't see that then idk what to tell u.

Its all about the money

this is how it is:

WBC clearly favors mexican fighters more than any other nationality, and canelo is their biggest and favorite mexican child, so they gift him another belt and another opportunity that he doesn't deserve.

canelo = biggest hype job and WBC = the most useless and corrupt sanctioning body in sports history

the end.

[Bardock]

He's right though, you got two guys with 1 collective fight at MW fighting for the WBC title...

Not saying it's a bad fight, but clearly a funny situation, one you would probably make fun of if it was Haymon guys involved. Bias much?

Either way, GGG absolutely decimates either guy at MW.

The lineal MW title is a joke now? OK got it

How far along are negotiations for Cotto and Canelo?

"I think they're ongoing. I know Todd (duBoef) is here in town, he's talking to Oscar. I think Cotto's in town. So, you know, it's taking place."

Arum, being the lying snake that he is, doesn't seem too definitive with his comments.

[Canelo Phresh]

They have plenty of time to get a deal done bro. Don't worry.

I think this fight gets made. It's just that Arum said Chavez Froch negotiations started an Chavez said thats not true. Arum is reliably dishonest.

I'm not saying the WBC isn't but fans aren't complianong about Cotto Canelo. GGG fans are but not Cotto Canelo and boxing fans in general. On today's boxing, Chavez jr is a bigger star than Andre Ward. It's just the way it is. Lol

Geeze, did canelo have sex with your sister? I don't like the dude but you are on every canelo thread bashing him. Saying Canelo isn't a bigger draw than GGG is ******. I like GGG but let's see GGG fill a 40,000 arena.
