Floyd has a guarantee. It's CBS/Showtime that need the 'real foe'.

Im just gonna squash the bullsh^t you are writing. Which are floyds highest ppv sales?

The nationality of Floyd's opponent doesn't change the demographic makeup of the United States. As with any form of mainstream sports or entertainment, sales are driven by those who makeup most of the paying audience.

I dont think you could get your tongue any further up floyd's bumhole if you tried!

They only way Cotto doesn't fight Canelo and doesn't work with Top Rank is if he uses his leverage for a record payday , $20 million plus, and forces the fight at the full 160 limit.
Remember he turned down bigger money this year for a Canelo fight so that he could take a middle weight title from a 40 year old man coming off 2 knee surgeries and a year layoff.
Cotto is aware that another loss damages his legacy and probably forces him to retire soon, he thinks with Roach he can beat Canelo, I don't think Cotto thinks he can beat Floyd.

... And you assume that Cotto would face "legacy" issues in case Floyd offers him $20 mln in order to fight for the middleweight lineal belt?

[MDPopescu]

any floyd fight but pacquiao will come second to canelo - cotto

... But FMJr could fight Cotto for a change...

[MDPopescu]

I hear team Mayweather has already contacted Miguel for a proposed rematch at "middleweight". Smart move by Floyd but I hope it doesn't happen. Cotto-Canelo is a much better bout

I didn't have to "hear" a rumor like this when I started a thread here on this possible (before Maidana 2 even happened).

Floyd Vs. GGG wouldnt even top Canelo vs. Cotto

[TyrantT316]

Your almost right.

But I think Manny has a few more choices, you said BOTH RETIRE??

Doesn't seem likely for Manny.

People are ready to give him credit for beating Vargas, Marquez 5th fighter, and Danny Garcia.

The only person they seem to be boycotting is Floyd in this sistuation.

True, I agree. I think Floyd has put himself in a position where HE'S the one that needs the fight most. Manny has choices as the perception (which is probably true) is that Floyd has been the one to stall it. If they both fight, then I think they put themselves back on track to having other meaningful fights.

Manny has options at 140 and 147. Maybe even some moving up from 135. Floyd's options are in the Khan, Brook, Thurman, Golovkin realm. May be some others I'm forgetting.

This fight needs no promotion nor time too build-up the fight, they could sign Floyd vs Manny on April 30 come May 2nd vegas will be booming and fight will sellout in a hour
So miss me with the Vargas angle that fight is already signed regardless of what floyd does
