Comments Thread For: SHO's Espinoza: Mayweather Pretty Set on Fighting on 5/2

I'm sure DLH has already thought about Mayweathers back up plan to offer the fight to Cotto if Khan looks bad against Alexander. This is why they're trying to start the negotiations now, 7 months out. GB and Arum want the fight locked before the December fight.

Yeah definitely. If Cotto is a free agent though, it might not be in his best interest. But then again, we're speculating. Let's see.

And who exactly is he? The law?

He is giving an unbiased opinion unlike what someone on this site who may be less objective being that they are a fan of Floyd or Cotto or Canelo.

The way he presented the Cotto vs Canelo fight is how people will be looking at it. You saw how his eyes lit up. It's just too bad that you didn't get it. Maybe one day.

Good point. cotto could be waiting to see the samething.


cotto probably won't sign anything till january. cotto is no rush right now.

I remember team cotto saying they got options.

Not a good idea unless Canelo - cotto falls thru which is possible

Mayweather is fighting Khan unless Khan loses then it's going to be Thurman... it's already set in stone.. Mayweather vs. Khan/Thurman won't be close to a 1 million PPV buys..Cotto-Canelo will definitely be over but I have a feeling they won't go to head to head and Canelo-Cotto would push back to June...

P.S. LOL @ those fake numbers for Pac-Marquez hahaha that was a good laugh though...

Folks are grossly exaggerating the popularity of a Cotto-Canelo match. Look for 250,000 buys at the most even if it does get the May 2 date.

If Cotto is a free agent...he should absolutely fight Mayweather at 154-155, especially for the Middleweight title...that fight would be bigger than Cotto-Canelo... Why would Cotto fans care about fighting Canelo when he beating Mayweather would make Cotto an immortal...

I'm all for Cotto-Mayweather at 155... I'd order that

It definitely does more than 250k. I'd say about 500K, possibly 600K.

Welfare check day?

That would be considered a 'caucasian day' since they make up about 45% of the below poverty level and receive over 65 % of all welfare assistance.

Floyd was "pretty set" on marrying Ms Jackson until Nelly came along

Canelo is the "Nelly" in this situation
