Comments Thread For: Not So Fast On Miguel Cotto vs. Canelo Alvarez

Sigh....we could all kinD of see Coto pricing himself out in this very high risk fight... bring on GGG.

Exactly. Doesn't make sense. I'm pretty sure Cotto is well aware of his free agency status and options yet this fight is in "heavy negotiations" and top rank is involved. I bet the fight gets signed in a few days.

Is cotto really a free agent? Lately anytime they mention a possible fight for cotto, they mention arum or tr. Cottos worked with gbp twice, why does he need to be drag down by tr

He is, it states in the article. He is having his advisor and Todd Debeuf negotiate for him, but he has no contract with TR.

That the previous report of Canelo agreeing to the terms is false. It is possible that he may agree sometime soon but as of now, nothing is set in stone. Therefore the previous report is smokescreen.

when he say this?

[BluDivision]

What demands? Just two days ago he said he wants 50/50, the date and the venue. He's supposed to allow Cotto to come second and be first? He's the champion it's expected....

Exactly***8230;. hahahahaha

Cotto (PR's only 4 Div Champ, Current Lineal Middleweight, Future Hall Of Famer, top 5 in active fighter PPV exposure) demands are as follow

55-45 (not 50/50)
New York (not Vegas or Texas)
June 13th (not May 2nd)

No reason for Cotto to concede anything.

Exactly as I see it.

But he has a contract with HBO (according to Kevin Iole).
This makes Cotto-Mayweather 2 impossible...

Cotto and his team holding this fight back, Arum & Oscar know an they can bring in 50,000 + people in the AT&T stadium , Cotto want to do this in new york small arenas

That's not necessarily so. A clause could have easily been added to allow a big fight with top rank. Fact is non of us really know the terms Of any agreement with cotto and tr. but I can't fathom cotto limiting himself at this point in his career

[Jayallday9]

Man it would just break Canelo's little heart if Cotto said "We will fight on Puerto Rican day weekend only, in New York only, on my terms only and I take bigger slice of pie or buzz off and go find a real 170 pounder to fight kid"
