Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Canelo-Kirkland Details, Mayweather

[IMDAZED]

All the pieces on the board should start moving soon.

Remember Pacquiao gave Floyd til the end of the month to sign lol 4 days away!

Until wha? He walks away and fights Matthysse? Provo? Vargas? Yeah right.

Floyd's next two fights:

Floyd v. Cotto 2 in May

Floyd v. Canelo 2 in Sept. if not then Floyd v. Danny Garcia in Sept.

It'll be a great year for pointless fights for Floyd's legacy

This is good. It keep the pressure on Floyd to face Pacquiao.

[Real Hero]

i can't wait for this fight!

Canelo vs Kirkland is a PPV? That's terrible.

Canelo vs Kirkland is a PPV? That's terrible.

Its my understanding that this will be on regular HBO if going up against a Floyd vs anyone other than Pacquiao on May 2nd.

Floyd basically has the Pac fight on the table and his legacy will forever be affected by his decision...

he can fight Pac with a 60/40 split or fight Cotto 2 in a pointless rematch...

Going by history, I think it's clear that Floyd is willing to take less money to fight the easier opponent...

Cotto has no promoter and network obligation...

Floyd can just fight Cotto under Mayweather Promotions (good luck with Mayweather Promotions promoting its first major PPV - yikes) and on Showtime without HBO...

The issue is that no one in the mainstream media is going to care about the fight... Mayweather rematches have only happened when the first fight had a controversial decision... it's going to be hard to sell for $80... and it's going against Canelo who is the 3rd/4th biggest PPV draw and a bigger draw than Cotto.. Mexican fans won't be interested in the Cotto fight over Canelo... How much will Showtime invest in promoting the fight? You can bet CBS will want to invest nothing in that fight especially after the Pac-fight failure... I think fans will go from wanting to see Floyd lose to gaining pleasure by seeing Floyd's PPVs flop..that'll be the new "wanting Floyd to lose" appeal.. and that's NOT good for Floyd and Showtime... But hey the Pac fight is already past expiration so Floyd-Cotto 2, Let's get it on! He bloodied his nose and he has Roach now doughhhhh

Oscar is doing wrong by, once again, starting a cold war between networks. He did it with Canelo against Chavez/Martinez and now doing it again but this time he went back across the street.

Oscar's not doing anything. Canelo wants the date. Who can blame him? It's a Mexican holiday, and he is the most popular active Mexican boxer. And they are saying they will move if Floyd - Pacquiao gets made. Canelo tends to do emotional moves like that (fighting Lara is another example).

And please, whoever was saying Canelo overpriced himself for the Cotto fight. If you know the numbers, please tell us. If you don't ...
