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

Missed out on Cotto and his date. I ride for the guy but this wasn't a very good business plan.

That's what happens when you try to be vengeful and do things out of spite. It usually ends up backfiring.

Well, that was no surprise, we knew they would move the date in a New York minute after May/Pac was announced!

Canelo ducked having to fight in NYC in june since the fight couldnt be made on his turf or his Mexican date.

Why not still fight on May 2nd if it's so important to you, Canelo? Don't give me that "for respect of boxing fans I'll step aside" crap. What about for your Mexican pride?

I guess money trumps pride, just like "Money" trumps Canelo.


Better luck next time.

One of the biggest POS in boxing. Self-entitled, overrated piece of doo doo. Good luck trying to pry September away from Floyd.

cool...back to back weeks of good fights. ..and this one on regular hbo.

If they were going to have the fight in Houston the Toyota Center would have been the better choice. But the NBA Playoffs are going to be happening. I guess the powers that be think the Rockets may make it that far.

He could be fighting in MSG in June - but chose to play hardball and show his ego and pretend to be something he's not. He got treated like a child against Floyd but somehow thought he was entitled to boot people off their dates because of some artificial stance such as heritage. We could have two back to back blockbusters in May and June and we all would have thought of 2014 as a minor footnote in history.

I thought the Mayweather L would humble this boy and I doubt Kirkland's bum self is capable of teaching him something, so we'll have to wait for this dude to just get taught a lesson in humility

"May 2nd is my date for Mexicans I fight for my country"
Yeah all that sounds good but guess what you still not fighting on May 2nd.
Floyd done sent y'all packing to the Astros stadium SMH maybe if Oscar would of kept his mouth shut

I was born ready........LOL

Canelo Floyd
Bow down

Listen, ******. It is business and it was the best move by Canelo. Had he faced Cotto and chicken floyd anyone else not named Paquiao, he would have had more ppvs and fans than chicken floyd. Matter of fact, floyd´s fights are quite boring if it weren´t for the other guy who usually chases that coward. If floyd had at least two or three losses, no one but a few African-Americans would watch him.

Cnaleo has more fans than both cotta and floyd, ******. Both cotta and floyd are cowards. Had canelo faced cotto, floyd would have only his family watch him on may 5. Learn about business, learn.
