Comments Thread For: Marquez: Canelo Must Give in To Cotto's Demands

[theocdog]

I really get tired on Marquez trying to talk about everyone's business as though he's such an authority. Maybe he should suggest to both Canelo & Cotto it's wise to drink your own pee.

He has a show called Golpe a Golpe. Boxingscene gets most of his quotes from there. hes just doing his job.

What's the deal with this 155 stuff? Why not at 160 for the belt?

I agree with team Canelo why do MSG (20,000) , when Cowboy stadium can do 3 time that?

Cause robberies happen in Texas. Just fight in Vegas but I don't think Canelo should have any leverage on anything part of the negotiation really.

Hmm.

I would agree with Marquez, like I always do, but the thing is Canelo is a bigger draw than Cotto. Canelo's PPV with Angulo, a non top 10 fighter, sold about as much as Cotto's PPV vs Martinez, The Ring MW champ. Canelo's PPV with Mayweather sold 700,000 more PPV's than Cotto's PPV vs Mayweather. I'm willing to bet every penny I have, that if Canelo fought this past prime version of Pacquiao, he would out sell Cotto Vs Pacquiao, by a pretty comfortable margin of at least 500k, which would show amazing star power from Canelo since Cotto fought a prime Pacquiao.

It's clear as day that Canelo is a huge star and he is either #3 or tied with Pacquiao as #2. Cotto at this point is behind May, Pac, and Canelo. There's nothing with that though. Getting 200-300k households to pay $60-70 bucks for your fight is already huge success. People downplay that to mock other fighters who sell triple that amount but 200-300k is what you call a successful and known pro fighter. 500k and up, you're talking about superstar status.

Says the same guy who said Justin beiber is the next champ at 135. Weren't you the same guy whose lobbying for floyd vs spadafora over the manny fight. Didn't you also say that Mickey bey beats terrance crawford and Jleon love can beat triple g. GTFO.

I'd watch Bey and Crawford duke it out.

I agree with Marquez. Cotto is equally if not a bigger draw than Canelo. Unless Mayweather fights Pac this is the biggest fight of 2015. Catch weight of 155 will benefit Canelo more than Cotto. Physically Canelo is the bigger of the 2

This fight is not happening. Canelo will fight Golovkin and Golovkin will happily accept his terms and Golovkin will beat Canelo's ass.

Canelo will go Mexican Style on his ass.

There you go

Say what you want about Marquez he is still an OG especially in the Mexican boxing world so from one OG to the up and coming fighter , Canelo must listen to Juan manuel

Is anyone going to tell Canelo that he's technically a middleweight or what?

Canelo has his own weight class

All I want is for this fight to happen in May 5th weekend.

If this fight happens, FLoyd has to fight Pacquiao to even compete, And thats what all boxing fans want.

When this happens, We are in a win/win situation as fans, we will get Canelo/Cotto and Pac/F.May this year.

May @ Vegas

Make FLoyd Fight Pacquiao, or not fight at all. Fans have been asking for that fight long enough, and this is our chance to finally see it happen

its funny to me how people think this fight can actually force a Floyd-Pac fight. How? Floyd & Pac are 10x bigger stars than those guys and both of them are 0-3 against Floyd/Pac. Neither of those guys are going to make moves because Canelo-Cotto are fighting eachother.

It trips me out how people think Floyd with a guaranteed contract will be forced to fight Pac because of those 2. Floyd could care less about either guy. He has a huge ego, he's beaten both of them, and he didnt even care about Canelo fighting on his undercard. Floyd might fight Pac but its not going to have anything at all to do with a Cotto/Canelo matchup
