Cotto must really want the Mayweather fight

[Buckfever]

Because he walked away from Canelo which would have been the next best money fight for him, but more than that there really isn't anything else for him now. Canelo is now tied up if he doesn't get Floyd what else is there for him that comes close to those 2 fights?

Andy Lee in MSG would be decent. He could always fight Golovkin but I doubt he will take that fight.

If Mayweather fights Pacquiao, I think Cotto fights Tim Bradley

[Aristocrat]

Well Cotto did tell Freddie Roach that if Roach was training him back in May 2012 he would have knocked Mayweather out. Still would rather watch the Pacquiao fight doe

cotto vs lara would be interesting

Cotto and Canelo not fighting is crazy. Mayweather and Pacquiao not fighting is crazy. Sucks that this is how our sport operates.

Unless Floyd is offering to give up a lot more money than he normally does, Cotto would have made more against Canelo.

Because in that fight, he'd have gotten 50%. He probably wanted a higher percentage, and that's why hte fight didn't happen.

Not to mention, Roach knows Canelo would steamroll Cotto, and was whispering in his ear not to take the fight (unless of course he got an exorbitant amount of money)...

Cotto prolly would have ended up making 10, maybe even 15 mllion if the Cnaelo fight sold really well.

Against Floyd, he'll prolly be guaranteed something like 5-8 million, and might crack 10.

And Roach knows while Cotto loses to Floyd badly too, he won't get KTFO'd and his standing ruined. Becuase losing a wide decision again to Floyd will still kee him relevant for a Canelo fight, or other bigger fights.

But if he got mollywhopped by Canelo, which he almost certainly would have, his value would decline, and he'd have to go back on regular HBO or Showtme for some more Austin Trout fights... Oh wait, he got beat there too, didn't he? Oh dear... Delvin Rodriguez, then?

Good for him...he and Floyd can dance to a half empty MGM grand and a couple of morons who buy the pov
