Comments Thread For: Cotto-Canelo: Arum Eyes Cowboys Stadium To Host

[ReIoaded]

Bon Arum using the Dallad Cowboys pro football organization and competition venue to help him sell A fight between two of Floyd's leftovers

I think 55/45 split in favor of cOtto is fair...based on their previous purses...I think their about even in terms of popularity and both did similar #'s on their last ppv so I think 50/50 ppv split is fair....not that I realy give a shiet hown much they get payed or where they fight...as long as the fight happen..that's all that matters

This sounds reasonable! Cotto arguing for 75% os just dumb. He should come out anf just say he doesn't want to fight, why get our hopes up.

please dont get your information from karceno HAHAHAHAHAHA that dude is biased

He may be biased but he does have phone conversations with Arum. He has no agenda with Canelo or Cotto. His agenda is simple, Bash Pacquiao, and Glorify Mayweather.

SAN JUAN -- Aquí no pasará lo mismo que con Manny Pacquiao y Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Miguel Cotto y Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez le darán al público, el combate que ellos quieren ver.
El acuerdo económico y otros aspectos importantes dentro de la negociación del pronosticado mega combate entre el campeón puertorriqueño y el peleador mexicano fueron parte de los elementos dialogados en los últimos días entre las partes de cara al choque que podría cobrar vida el 2 de mayo de 2015, muy posiblemente en Dallas, Texas.
Así lo dio a conocer el asesor legal de Cotto, el licenciado Gabriel Peñagarícano, persona que está al frente de estas conversaciones junto al cuatro veces campeón divisional y el presidente de Top Rank, Todd DuBoef.

Intresting how cotto doesn't see a problem fighting in Dallas.

lol, you dont know sçhit...1.5 is a minimum, doesnt even reflect a PPV upside...

7million was also Cottos guarantee and doesn't reflect PPV either.

7million was also Cottos guarantee and doesn't reflect PPV either.

exactly both guarantees didnt mean a thing when both ppvs did about the same,
canelo had similar numbers vs angulo and a guarantee of 1.2 mil, but he made somewhere from 8 to 10 mil...

here is the translation by the way...

SAN JUAN - This will not be the same with Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Miguel Cotto and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will give the public the fight they want to see.
The economic agreement and other important aspects of trading the predicted mega fight between Puerto Rican and Mexican champion fighter of the elements were dialogued in recent days between the parties face the shock that could come to life on May 2, 2015 quite possibly in Dallas, Texas.
This was announced by Cotto's legal advisor, Mr. Gabriel Peñagarícano, who is leading the talks by the four-time division champion and Top Rank president Todd DuBoef

I don't think this is happening because of that and Cotto's ridiculous Demands. May 2nd is Mayweather's date.

It's called negotiating. Do you really think Cotto thinks he's going to get 75-25 against Canelo? It's a way of signalling to GBP that he considers himself the A-side and GBP will not be allowed to dictate terms. I wouldn't be surprised if the split was between 60-40 and 55-45 in favor of Cotto when all is said and done. I also expect that the fight will be signed and announced as early as next week if Pac looses on Saturday. If Pac wins and the Mayweather-Pac negotiation rumors persist, I expect the announcement would be delayed. This would be a good indicator though because if HBO truly believed the Mayweather-Pac fight was happening they wouldn't pick up Cotto-Canelo.
