Comments Thread For: Canelo-Kirkland Moves To 5/9 To Minute Maid Park

[Suavecito80]

I thought Canelo said he wanted the May 2nd date and wouldn't move it for anybody?

Just because Oscar and Canelo came out and let the world know that he is still Mayweathers b*tch. Maybe I should tell the cop next to me at a red light I'm going to run the red light, but I won't get a ticket because I told him about it first lol.

Canelo didn't want to fight in June because he wanted to fight May 2nd in Las Vegas. Canelo is now not fighting on May 2nd, not in Las Vegas or against Miguel Cotto. Cotto on the other hand could still use a dance partner for June, ESPECIALLY since May/Pac are on the date Canelo wanted, but he's nowhere to be found. How convenient.

For the 200th time. Canelo wanted the Cotto fight in May because it represented a bigger date and a bigger Paycheck for both fighters.

BUT, he had no problem going to NYC. NO problem what so ever. Even Cotto's team acknowledged this. But feel free to continue to ignore that and spread your lies through this forum.

baseball fields dont have very good sightlines for boxing

pretty disappointing choice- better off in a basketball arena

... This Minute maid Park choice is literally odd... It's likely that they would not put on sale tickets for the places in the distance...

I've already completely schooled you on the economics of the fight in May. Let's see if it takes this time... Floyd is fighting May 2, he's not moving because of Cotto/Canelo. Forget him fighting Manny, let's say he picked Khan and Cotto/Canelo was a go. This is YOUR theoretical scenario remember, you said they would have only moved it, IF...

So, you're going to tell me that Cotto/Canelo against a Floyd/Khan PPV is going to make Cotto and Canelo more money? Please tell me, how you come up with this magical scenario? Would Cotto/Canelo get more buys than the Floyd fight? 100% YES, GUARANTEED it would. That's not what matters, you said who gets more money. They are going to lose buys than going up alone, in June any way you cut it. Oscar and DLH might care about getting more buys than Floyd, then they should find an opponent who thinks like them and has the drawing power of Cotto.

Remember, that was all YOUR theoretical scenario. In reality, where most of us live. Cotto still has that June date in NY, the day Canelo had no problems moving to you're saying, yet it's Canelo who is fighting May 9th... in Houston, or is that new casino in Vegas maybe?

[Beater_of_ass]

Based on?

I don't. It's not money in my pocket. De La Hoya shits on everything Cotto has done based on money/ppvs but you don't see me making a deal out of it do you?

The fact that he last fought in NYC the gate alone was $5 million. I didn't say Top Rank would make money, I said Cotto is going to get paid more and he will.

Schooled me? WTF are you talking about?
I pointed out to you with facts that Canelo said he had no problem fighting in NYC. That Cotto's team acknowledged this fact! Now you just like BigJavi are going off on some tirade to deflect from the fact you were wrong when you said Canelo didn't want to fight Cotto in NYC.

Quit playing keyboard business man. You don't know if that if Mayweather vs Khan would have been made would Showtime had risked putting him on the same date as a bigger fight like Cotto/Canelo. You don't know if Mayweather would have taken the rest of the year off, or even fought a week before. Now you're just speculating.

I'm argeeing with you... Canelo would only fight in NY under the following:

May/Pac happened.

Two things happened since then that we know:

Canelo got up and left and made a fight with Kirkland
May/Pac is happening on May 2.

Conclusion: The only possible way that Canelo would fight in NY actually happened, Cotto is fighting in NY, in June but Canelo is going to be in Houston for some reason. Even though the only way he would fight in NY, actually happened he still ducked it.

Canelo is fighting Kirkland because Cotto wouldn't agree to fight. This is not the first time Canelo wanted Cotto, it's well documented that Canelo wanted Cotto bad. Was willing to fight him in his home turf. But he also wasn't going to wait around for Cotto to decide again he didn't want the fight.

Wait around... Another person with the "If Canelo fought 4 weeks from his fight with Kirkland, the zombie apocalypse happens excuse?" Canelo is seriously fighting 3 or 4 weeks before Cotto, lmao... wait for what again?
