[Da Boxer]

They also commented that the fight should take place in Vegas or Texas and that Cotto should be the A side of the deal.

Lastly they said that De La Hoya indicated that the what was causing the friction was the venue.

Daaaaaaamn.

Both guys have been waiting a while to get ****** rich off this fight. Hope it happens.

[RSBonos]

Nice retirement money.

i don't blame cotto

[big_james10]

The show "A Los Golpes" (ESPN) today stated that the purse of King Cotto vs El Canelo Alvarez to be:

20 Million

This will make the highest paid Latin American boxer of all times!

War Cotto!!!!

The fight hasn't even been negotiated yet. How the hell would anyone know this? It is all speculation. No one knows anything!

[Divine Hammer]

wow that's really good money if true. i wouldn't blame cotto if he took the fight with canelo. it's a good payday to retire on, not just for him but for his family to live comfortably.

Hmmm...

Fight with Canelo:

20 million, A-Side, gloves of your preference, will come to fight

Fight with Mayweather:

8 million, B-side, will pick your gloves for you, will not come to fight and will run all night

dont forget a biased ref and a HUGE ring

[bigjavi973]

Good luck covering that. I don't even think this fight will generate 20 mil in revenue

and why not? please explain

[bigjavi973]

The fight ain't happening if Kneeguel wants that much money, . I could see a pot of $25 million. $15 million for Cotto and $10 million for Canelo sounds fair.

Who cares though. As long as the fight gets done I'll be happy, .

[bigjavi973]

I doubt that. Cotto is what he is: a 500K seller at best. PPV sales are dipping which is why he couldn't hit 400K with Martinez. People tend to get carried away with these projections. This fight does 600K, being optimistic.

it takes two to tango in ppv fights.
