Canelo Alvarez fires shots at Floyd regarding Mexican Holidays!!!

[ThePrince]

How many times has this been said. . . Floyd stated straight after Maidana fight his next fight is in May, Everyone knows he fights the first Saturday of May. . . And Canelo specifically said he was poaching that date from Mayweather. So realistically your argument of Canelo got there first is kinda flawed. Besides, if the black guy fighting a Filipino in May doesn't effect the Mexican Holiday, why is Arum refusing to accept the fight!!!?

He negotiated and agreed to terms while Floyd was posting Marquez highlights on facebook. I'd say he got there first

And if Floyd's Boss/Show, Top Rank, HBO are willing to do a different date (and why wouldn't they? The fight won't be affected by a Mexican holiday) and co-distribute... then Floyd needs to come up with some new material quick if he wants to keep fighting the Maidanas of the world.

in doesn't matter what he states. if canelo-cotto is may 2, they can't go up against it.

this is about $$$, not pride ego.

it's crazy to go up against canelo-cotto on cinco de mayo weekend.

So the canelo and Cotto fight has actually been signed and sealed?

Not as far as I know. Last I heard, Canelo had agreed to terms and the only hold up was them figuring out the beer sponsor for the fight (one guy has a deal with Corona while Top Rank has an agreement with Tecate I think). But all reports have made it clear the fight is nearly complete and on the verge of being officially signed for May 2nd.

Meanwhile Floyd posted Marquez highlight videos on facebook and tried to use Manny's name to scare competition away from May 2nd while bringing up the usual roadblocks.

Actually, the same day Floyd announced his rematch with Maidana, he said he said he had a surprise for his May fight.

It was at some award show in the summer.

Tons of threads on what his surprise for May was.

But posters will be dishonest like that and its hard to have a real convo in here.

Let me be clear, I hate arum and think he's a cancer. That being said, from a strictly business perspective, arum would be representing cotto in a fight vs canelo and knows the best date, for that fight, is may 2nd. The most money to be made on a cotto fight, vs canelo, is may 2nd. The most money to be made on Floyd vs manny is ANY date.

Objectively speaking, do you not see why odlh and arum wouldn't move canelo vs cotto for PAC vs Floyd? One event could clean up even on New Year's Eve at 11:59, while the other event, cotto canelo, needs may 2nd. It's an easy choice financially.

Arum isn't representing Cotto. DeBouf is along with Cottos manager. And it's already been reported that Cotto prefers Msg on PR independence day. Exactly when he's been fighting every year. But yes ignore your client for Canelo Alvarez. Cotto is clearly not in the mood to give in to Canelo but lets act like hes honna give all that up. Makes no sense.

Right, so you're essentially saying Mayweather can't fight on May 2nd, because that date isn't available, even though there is no signed contract for a fight yet? . . . Essentially meaning that date is still up for grabs whoever signs first.

And DuBouef works for Top Rank... which is owned by Bob Arum.

And it's already been reported that Cotto prefers Msg on PR independence day.

Only place where I've seen this 'reported' was here by the Floyd brigade. Show me one article or video with Cotto or any of his reps saying this.

I'll wait.

It's still top rank representing him in the end. So that *** is still involved. But if cotto has no plans, at all, to fight on may 2nd, and top rank, or bob, is not willing to talk may vs PAC, then I agree, he's a bigger kunt than I thought and is sabotaging the fight.

Dude, be realistic. What's closer to being made? Pac/May or Canelo/Cotto? Last I heard Canelo/Cotto were in the advanced stages of negotiations.
