Comments Thread For: Cotto's Adviser: There is Movement By Canelo's Side

[MrRolltide91]

Do your homework clown. Canelo has taken a page out of Sergio Martinez' book and gave Cotto everything he wanted. Canelo has agreed to take less than 50%, to just make the fight happen. Oscar has confirmed they conceded every demand Cotto wanted, they signed their end of the contract and it's been with Cotto & Company for nearly 10 days now. The only thing missing is Cotyo's signature. If you've given them everything they asked for, what more can you give them? A hand job? Cotto should be thrilled he gets everything the diva has asked for because he's one and done. He'll get out muscled and beaten down by Canelo; we saw what a young prime Trout did to Cotto. And Cotto will never fight a guy like Gennady, so sign the contract, get your name first in all the promotions, come in to the ring last, take the most money, because this is it.

canelo hasn't signed anything

Cotto is beating Canelo in the negotiations.

Can't wait for the Face Off show!

and of course the fight it self

[JJRod]

didnt they offer Cotto 10 million BEFORE he fought Martinez?? Get your facts straight. Cotto took less than that to make the Martinez fight. so if they want to fight now they should give Miguel way more than 10

No. Put on your reading glasses and re-read what I wrote.

I said they offered him 10 million dollars for a fight in March, before the Martinez and Angulo fights. Now with the MW belt the offer should be millions north of that.

Or for the simple folk, the offer should be more than 10 million.

In my argument I also state that I doubt Mayweather would be able to offer Cotto much more than 10 million, due to he having such a large guarantee. In other words there would not be enough money generated to pay Mayweather's 32 million plus another 10 million + for Cotto. The PPV's would have to be extremely high, and I doubt Showtime wants to take that gamble.

And Oscar said it was all agreed on his side Lies. They tried pressuring Cotto to sign to deal that wasn't satisfactory to him and it failed. He'll sign when he's good and ready. We're in early January and people are complaining it's not signed. What's the rush?

[Nightfall]

alvare is a biatch. talking shiat and wound up sitting around waiting like a woman. hoping that mayweather won't fight. it does'nt matter who alvared fights. mayweather events bring in the big dogs with big money to be made. all boxing roads lead to floyd mayweather jr.

I don't see the HUGE MARGIN.

Pacquiao-Marquez 3 sold way more PPVS than Floyd-Marquez... and Pac-Marquez 4 also outsold Floyd-Marquez... So how is Floyd the bigger star? Floyd-Cotto had Canelo-Mosley on the undercard... And Pac-Cotto did a close number... with a terrible undercard...this idea Floyd is a much bigger draw than Manny is a joke... Floyd has just benefited from putting Mexicans on his undercards... Floyd-Maidana 2 sold how many PPVs? Oh I forgot, the media tried to project without releasing official numbers...

[MisanthropicNY]

Which one was a better undercard?

1. Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Juan Manuel Marquez
Chris John vs Rocky Juarez
Michael Katsidis vs Vicente Escobedo
Cornelius Lock vs Orlando Cruz
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
Mike Alvarado vs Breidis Prescott
Dennis Laurente vs Ayi Bruce
Fernando Lumacad vs Joseph Rios
Jose Benavidez vs Samuel Santana
Vic Pasilla vs Jose Garcia

Exactly. When Floyd has a comparable almost equal undercard to Manny... Manny-Marquez 3 sold way more PPVs than Floyd-Marquez... Floyd gets way too much credit for his PPV numbers... Manny sells about the same PPVs as Floyd if you remove the undercards... the fights in China don't really count.. Where are Floyd-Maidana 2 PPV numbers?

If Cotto's advisor is talking about fighting in June, it looks like a Mayweather/Pacquaio fight may come to fruition after all.

If there is movement on Alvarez's side after he supposedly had agreed to terms, that means that Oscar and Alvarez are getting desperate.

Bob Arum never allowed HBO or Showtime to release the numbers on any Pacquaio fight since the Margarito fight, so we don't know for sure how many PPVs any Pacquaio fight has sold. However, if the real numbers were ever released, I would bet everything that I own that no Pacuqaio/Marquez fight has ever broken 1 million PPVs and that no Pacquaio fight against a common opponent as Mayweather has ever outsold a Mayweather fight.
