Cotto's contract= 50 million for 3 fights

[////]

Lol I will not sit here and front like my son isn't ducking GGG but don't sit here and act like he ducked Canelo. Cotto wasn't gonna agree to a fight in May if Floyd and Manny was going to actually fight.

Why not? Canelo is fighting in may anyway. They could have made a lot of money together with or without the may 2 date.

That number is inaccurate. Just like they reported Cotto was offered 30 million to fight Mayweather, where Cotto's own people laughed at the report.

I dunno, now ESPN is reporting it as well, and they got a quote straight from Cotto.

http://www.espn.com.ar/news/story/_/id/2314844/cotto-$50-millones-por-tres-peleas

"Tenemos un acuerdo de tres peleas por 50 millones de dólares", dijo Cotto. "Cosa que entendemos que es muy razonable para mi carrera y para el que esté en el poder. Dicho esto, creo que no había nada más que pensar. Yo solamente quiero lo mejor para mí y lo mejor para mi familia. No hay otra cosa que me interese más. A Miguel Cotto lo que lo mueve siempre es su familia. Eso lo es todo".

Can't be bothered to translate, sorry.

This is like Giving Jay Cutler 7 years 126 million. I know you are a bears fan and a Cotto fan. But you seriously cannot tell me that a fighter who is 1 or 2 years away from retirement deserves this kind of money.

Cotto is the number three star in the sport (Mayweather on top, Pacquiao significantly behind him, and then Cotto, with Canelo Alvarez's star being on the rise.

Roc Nation is a fledgling company with a handful of fighters and a limited track record of putting on actually shows.

If you expected Roc Nation to not have to pay some kind of premium to get the third biggest star in the sport, you're kidding yourself.

They're not even building up their stable. Since last year, they on still have Dusty Harrison, some other guy, some mexican prospect and the chinese fighters from Duva.... they should be looking for talent

2016 Olympics are just around the corner; let the bidding begin.

Haymon, Top Rank, Golden Boy, Roc Nation and others will be scouring around for that next potential star, with money to boot.

But it's not PPv... Canelo-cotto is PPv fight,,, it would be ****** to make it in May right after the biggest PPv ever... June or July is much better

No way this is true, Cotto is not worth near that much coming off the PPV failure of the Martinez fight.
Also, he was offered $10 million guaranteed plus the bigger slice of the PPV pie. He most likely would have still made more than these fake numbers if he had nutted up and taken has ass whipping from Canelo like man...

That's still next year though... since the Shaw split they signed one Mexican prospect... and just tried to take other people away from other promoters

Oscar said all along the only thing that would move them off May 2 was Pac/May. They still could have made the fight for a different date if Cotto didn't go into ***** mode.
