    Cotto's side is saying: It looks like if Floyd vs Manny happens, they will agree to a June date and make Cotto happy and if they don't they will agree in May and make Canelo happy.
    This is exactly what I gathered from the article. I don't find Cotto being a diva here. It just sounds like Mayweather vs Pac is becoming a real possibility and GBP and Canelo need to be flexible on the May 2nd date if it does happen.

    There are more factors in place determining this fight, not just Cotto and Canelo. If Mayweather and Pac were already lined up for other fights, Cotto vs Canelo would have been signed in no time at all.

      Im sure you can see that stallings on these noegotiations are done on purpose from BOTH sides. IMO they are gonna fight in june, after floyd-pac in may.

There is no need to rush to sign to fight Canelo... Canelo has proven nothing except that he can be outboxed and that he was dominated by Floyd. Why wouldn't Cotto wait to see if he can get the Floyd fight which would mean everything to his legacy if he could win it... Beating Canelo isn't necessarily anything great at this point... And Floyd might offer Cotto more money also...

        Anyone saying Cotto is a diva over this is just clueless ::forehead slap::

        cotto is a diva. this isn't the first time a fight was almost sc****d because of cotto.

        the pacquiao fight almost didn't happen due too weight.
        the Martinez fight almost didn't happen due too who's name goes first in the promotion.

        now this with the canelo fight.

        nobody wants too see Floyd beat cotto again by UD
        nobody wants too see meaningless rematches

        we want mexico vs Puerto rico.

        if cotto don't wanna fight canelo, all he has too do is say so.

        GGG will be more than willing too accept any terms cotto may have.

              Pacquiao also did better numbers with Marquez than Floyd by a huge margin... Floyd always an undercard in his fights but we know Cotto would have been big with or without the undercard but it definitely helped...
              Marquez had appeared twice previously in HBO PPV headline fights, generating 405,000 buys for his 2008 split-decision loss to Manny Pacquiao...


              The fight generated 1.08 million pay-per-view buys and $55.6 million in pay-per-view revenue
              http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Fl...Manuel_Marquez

              The fight cost $59.95 on pay-per-view and generated 1.15 million buys.

              The fourth fight between Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao generated about 1.15 million buys on HBO PPV, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com on Saturday.

              I don't see the HUGE MARGIN.

                1. Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Juan Manuel Marquez

                Erislandy Lara vs Jose Varela
                Said Ouali vs Francisco Rios Gil
                Shujaa El Amin vs Loren Myers
                Jessie Vargas vs Raul Tovar
                Michael Perez vs Richard Ellis

                2. Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez
                Timothy Bradley vs Joel Casamayor
                Juan Carlos Burgos vs Luis Cruz

                  You are a diva. Almost didn't happen, almost didn't happen, b*tch, whine, moan...repeat. Let the people behind negotiations, that actually know whats being negotiated, negotiate the friggin fight. As far as I'm concerned, you don't walk into contract negotiations willing to concede every detail. Seems like team Cotto approach negotiations as businessmen, who would have thought?

                    Who cares, give the old man what he wants.
                    Canelo is going to embarrass him and expose that Martinez cherry pick for the lame win that it was.
                    Cotto trying to squeeze the most out of Canelo now that Floyd/Pac may actually happen.
                    This is his last big payday while Canelo has another decade of being a top draw.

                      Actually Cotto is learning from past mistakes.

                      Cotto NEVER should have agreed to drop to 145 to fight Manny. Manny fought Hoya at 147, why did he need Cotto to drop to 145 for?

                      Manny didnt need it, it was just about ****ing with Cotto as much as he could.

                      You see this game is all about what you can get away with when you got the power.
