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

[Build That Wall]

im sure you know better than penagaricano and arum...

I'm Sure Arum Told Karceno that Cotto wants 75% against Canelo. Arum and Karceno talk with each other a bit.

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.

you made some very good points, i saw somewhere that arum wanted floyd-pac on september... of course he wants to take advantage of both mega fights...

[KnickTillDeaTh]

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...

The point the guy was making is that Cotto made more then canelo in his last fight and he did. And in boxing guarantees usually indicate the standing of a boxer, the higher the guarantee the higher a network views that fighters drawing power and stardom. For instance Mayweather gets a higher guarantee then Pac, Pac gets a higher guarantee then Cotto, Cotto gets a higher guarantee then Canelo, Canelo gets a higher guarantee the Chavez Jr, so on and so forth.

Just think how pissed the boxing world would be if both fights didnt get made next year due to A side/B side bull****

There already has been reports that the guarantee is not a problem. De La Hoya already said Cotto is the a-side and champion and will be treated as such. Rumored that the weight is already agreed, and the only sticking point is venue, date and ppv split. Basically De La Hoya made it sound as if they were prepared to give to the majority of Cotto's demands

Canelo already said on ESPN deportes Radio he'll give into Cotto's every demand, except Date and no NYC.

[whoseyourdaddy]

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.

He did three times before, am not surprise if he'll do that again.

[Pony Boy]

This fight will happen and it will be Big!

[bigjavi973]

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