Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Cotto's Deadline Passed, Canelo Moving On

[MDPopescu]

Cotto has a history of ****ing up big paydays. Not the sharpest tool in the toolbox.

Cotto was "valuable" in case of no May-Pac fight. Now Cotto can't even sell his "lineal belt"...

[jjsmyth87]

Lets see your options. Fight Lara again or GGG either way your PPV will suck and then when you beg for Cotto he will get what he demands

Oscar said he caved in on everything. There's a difference between being A side and getting the larger share and pricing yourself out of a fight. You get what you are worth regardless of whether your A side or not. Cotto being A side against canelo doesn't mean a whole lot, it would be akin to mayweather being A side to pacquiao, again doesn't mean a whole lot. Otherwise cotto could take a 95/5 split and that would be fair just because he's A side? Obviously not, you get what your worth.

Cotto being difficult in negotiations is common knowledge.

Cotto vs Margarito 2 was on the verge of not being made because Cotto who was fighting at 154 at the time was insistent on making it a catch weight and wanted a rehydration clause. Arum finally got them to agree at 153.

Cotto vs Martinez: Martinez was so sick of the negotiations, he's the one that began calling Cotto a diva.

Now Cotto vs Canelo.

Again the date is insignificant. Cotto's own advisor admitted that Oscar and Canelo were willing to move the date if May/Pac gets made. He also admitted that Canelo would have no problem fighting in NYC. This is all Cotto being the diva he is.

^THISSS! all the information is out there and is fact already but nah its canelo doe.

[SplitSecond]

canelo wants to get back in the ring, simple as that, it doesn't matter what side(A-side, B-side) he is, you can't wait forever

now i dont care to see cotto fight anyone else but golovkin

[Nightfall]

Another scared ****less ***** exposed. Kirkland duck, Cotto duck, who's next?

you have to be kidding. or maybe you're as ****** as alvared and his kiddy land mickey mouse management in mexico.

[Undisput3d]

Dayum,Oscar and canelo swung their ****s and said **** you cotto. I can't believe I'm saying this,but its actually more interesting to see how this would play out now that the fight isn't being made,rather than if it had been made. Can anyone say canelo vs David lemieux,or GGG on may 2nd?

Theres a reason lemiuex was signed.

I wouldn't mind seeing the details that couldn't be negotiated. Date, venue, money, etc. As a fan I'm disappointed, I was looking forward to Canelo vs Cotto more than any other fight. I feel like they could have waited to the Pac/Mayweather situation got settled but it seems like they wanted to announce Canelo vs Cotto beforehand for whatever reason.

[bigjavi973]

It's not even about the May 2nd thing. Cotto's adviser already said that June was also a possibility.Cotto's is just a duck thats it. He never wanted this fight. He's looking for another crippled fighter. cotto is a disgrace.

hey dumbass canelo is the one that wants to fight in may... you know... compete with floyd vs pac... which in THIS career is what people would call a career suicide. Theres no way cotto canelo trumps floyd vs pac AND IM A COTTO FAN!!! Cotto said hell fight, IN JUNE!!! What canelo CANNOT fight in june? BS!!!

[panyck]

Ya but Javi that fight isn't even made, if may 2nd is available cotto is ******ed for wanting to put it on in June. It makes absolutely no sense and makes me think he really doesn't want the fight.

This is what I've been saying. The Mayweather/Pacquiao fight isn't even made. Why wait on a fight that for 5 damn years hasn't been made. If the date is available right now, take it! You can always move the venue and date if Pacquiao/Mayweather gets made.

[TexasGunslinger]

Not surprised. Cotto seems content to sit on that belt until an opportunity comes to cash out.
