Comments Thread For: Canelo Calls on Miguel Cotto To Sign For 5/2 Clash

[parrish duke]

Hate on Cotto? Wow - Beats the Lineal middleweight champ - 1) Martinez was not limping when he got inside that ring - look at his ring walk he got crushed, he thought Cotto was going to be easy work - you gotta pack that lunch when you fight Cotto - no easy work! Not one of these hatin a$$ excuses came from the horses mouth, its all coming from the flies around his a$$...Martinez didn't know Cotto had that type of foot work and pop! Cotto broke his nose in the first round / knock down and Martinez never recovered! He admitted such! We don't make up excuses for our warrior's I like to hear it come from the source

Cotto is very close to pricing himself out of this fight. They are both huge stars but Alvarez is the cash cow here more so than Cotto.

From what I understand Alvarez has already given major concessions to make the fight but Cotto is pushing for more.

Please man, you know Canelo has already agreed to take a major cut in pay, something like 60-40 and Cotto is probably pressing for 65-35 or 70-30.....we all know who is holding up this fight.

I don't know what are you on but Cotto never ducked a fighter however Canelo ducked Joshua Clottey. Oh, the truth hurts right. Cotto (The champion) has the basketball court home. Whatever he ask Canelo shall comply. Be a champion and you could set the rules.

Canelo wants the fight, Cotto wants all the chips. People are going to see, either make a deal or move on because that's exactly what Canelo is about to do. Remember when Floyd tried this stuff with him the first time around? Canelo told him to go take a hike, that point is not far off in this negotiation as well. I don't think Cotto is "ducking" him but he is trying to play some movie star role and he is going to be left out in the cold if he isn't careful.

if cotto doesnt take 60-40, hes a bigger diva then i thought. Dude is so bigheaded is not even funny. Cotto is the A-side because hes been in the sport longer and has been doing it for longer. Out of respect he should be the A-side. But to ask for 70-30, if he is, is downright ludicrous. Canelo is a cash cow at this point and has a huge fan base, hes not fighting a Margarito or a Martinez with limited followers. Cotto better get his **** together and take the 60-40, if indeed that is the case.

Exactly right, Cotto's head is getting way to big. He basically said hes not putting any conditions on Canelo but he wants what hes "earned". This is a business and Canelo brings as much star power as does Cotto. This fight is a classic side A vs side A1 fight, not side A vs side B. Same thing with May-Pac

Canelo is coming off an injury.

damn!
