According to Arum, the reason for no Cotto/Canelo is....

[juandabomb]

Cotto and Canelo do comparable numbers. Being in the game longer has nothing to do with it. Like I said, he better be fighting Mayweather. He's not fighting GGG. You can't turn down Canelo to go fight Lee or Bradley.

Cotto takes it too far. Now nobody is allowed to trash talk him? Cmon man.

Cotto el Joto only has two options rematch with Mayweather or a date with the GOAT Tim Bradley. Lee has to deal with Saunders . GGG doesnt exist in Jotos mind

Not even Floyd would use that as an excuse. He did go fight Hatton and Mosley after they dissed him.

They do similar numbers. Canelo needs Cotto more than Cotto needing Canelo. Plus you have to wait to see what is going to happen in the negotiation of May vs Pac. No one in their right mind would go head to head with May vs Pac. Cotto vs Canelo would be lucky if they go H2H and do more than 25k in PPV.

That is not even an option. Why don't you people understand this? Nobody has said both cards would be on the same night. Cotto/Canelo would move to another date.

[StopCrying...]

Btching to the papers is akin to "gossip." Canelo chose to TRY to manipulate Cotto and paid the price for it. Take that blogging sh it elsewhere Ginger.

Sounds like Ginger was feeling emotional and insecure and was looking for the Mexican papers to boost his ego.

"El Canelo es Muy Macho!'

[bigjavi973]

Nope, Canelo got feminine and tried to BLOG like a btch about the negotiations. King Cotto snatched his dream and sh at on it. No payday for peasants who blog to Mexican newspapers.

"Dear Diary, today Miguel is acting like an alpha male and it bothers me a great deal because, I was raised to think acting like a humble peasant, is the way to be... Our cultures are so different and it makes me uncomfortable to see the Puerto Rican air of confidence...It downright makes me angry and hateful..."

~Ginger

IMO this is exactly what happened. I thought it was wierd that I was reading up some PR news papers and articles and it had canelo there basically trying to sh^t on cotto... IN PR!!! LMAO canelo doesn't know what he wants... oh yea the may 2 date LMAO

Again... who is canelo to dictate anything to ANYBODY!?

And when you add in the 115 million Mexicans compared to Cotto's 7 million Ricans... It's not very impressive that Canelo does similar #s with Cotto.

[Beater_of_ass]

Some of you guys crack me up. Cotto is handling business OUT of the media like it should be. Canelo goes crying to people who will feel sorry for him like a battered woman and Cotto is somehow the woman in this case? Also, once again, how did Cotto not accept a deal? It was Canelo who got up and left.

That's your cue to stop reading. Whatever follows will be complete nonsense.

[Death_Adder]

How the hell does Kneeguel Jotto think he's he running things?

He beat a one-legged Martinez
Lost to Trout (who Canelo beat)
Lost to Mayweather (as bad as Canelo did)
Beat Margarito by running most of the night
struggled with a fat Mayorga
got skull f.ucked by Pacquiao
struggled with Clottey (some say he lost)
kneeled before Margartio


About his so called options that some people have pointed out

I guarantee he will NEVER step foot inside the ring with GGG
Bradley; Cotto would make less money fighting him than Canelo
Mayweather, sure cash out on Mayweather and get another "L"
