Mayweather-Cotto 2 next?

[AntonTheMeh]

Pretty sure Floyd's contract is structured so he gets final say in who he fights. I'm positive Haymon of all people made certain that was in writing. Like Floyd said to Stephen A. Smith when they were 'beefing' a few months ago:

"So it doesn't matter who I fight. I can fight two duds. At the end of the day, it's about working smarter, not harder."

Hard Work! Dedication!

i wouldn't be so sure. you don't get to where moonves is by getting played by guys like al haymon.

[Matisyahu]

I feel like I win either way. I either get the fight I wanted, or get to see the backlash swallow up Floyd Mayweather like a tsunami.

if moonves allows this fight to happen, we're never going to get pacquiao vs floyd. never. he was the only hope i had of this fight ever happening. if hbo and showtime are having problems coming up with an agreement to co-broadcast the event, i can see why showtime would be okay with cotto fight.

as a fan, i'm not happy about it at all.

Pac does not actually have a HBO contract right? Maybe HBO trying to run **** and showtime ain't having it.

So why would he need to pretend again?

let say Floyd vs cotto 2 is officially announced. Because at that time Floyd team are not yet sure if Cotto is on board. that satisfy your question?

this sucks for us (and GGG if it is for cotto's belts )

At the time they signed the contract, Floyd was on like a 5 fight 1+ million buys streak against the likes of Victor Ortiz. I think he was averaging 1.5 million buys since he returned from 'retirement'. HBO initially turned down (wisely) Haymon's 6 fight $180 million demand and Showtime saw an opportunity to steal Floyd away so they gave him carte blanche to do whatever he wanted. Plus having a Haymon stooge in Espinoza really helped probably.

Like Floyd said, if he wants to fight duds to end his career, that's what he'll do. They have to give him his $32 million regardless.

[Dean_Razorback]

who would be the promoter of this garbage if it happens?

[boliodogs]

I think it will happen because neither of them wanted the fights they were negotiating. They can fight each other for big money and very little risk of either of them suffering a KO loss. Mayweather is sure he can beat Cotto because he had no trouble beating him before. Mayeather is clearly not so sure about beating Pacquiao. I am sure Canelo would KO Cotto and I think Cotto is afraid to fight him. The winner of Mayweaher-Cotto will be the lineal middleweight champion of the world and will never fight GGG who is the real middleweight champion of the world to me.

[CLUE]

Garbage and pointless.

Careful what you wish for. Everyone wanted Mayweather to move up A SIXTH WEIGHT CLASS for the middleweight title because they thought they found their savior and now they might get it. Only it's not Martinez. lol Careful what you wish for, haters.
