Cotto's contract= 50 million for 3 fights

[mathed]

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.

Isn't Floyd one or two years away from retirement and about to make something like 120 million for one fight?

[Ringlife]

I think their strategy is to spend big to build their stable, basically doing whatever it takes to bring big names. They are looking long term, so these huge deals their gonna lose money on short term, but apparently they're willing to do that in order to grow. It can work, but it's going to be difficult with 150+ fighters and growing signed with Haymon.

I think it will be difficult, but hey I guess we gotta root for them to be successful. All I want is for the best match ups get made and I hope Roc Nation can do that for us.

That's a lot of money, jay z is gonna have to make 100 mill in revenue if he wants to see 50 m for himself too. That's means cotto ain't gonna be fighting no bums on free tv, he'll likely be pushed to take a big ppv fight, either Canelo or ggg or maybe even khan, wouldn't doubt if somewhere along the lines he also fought somebody smaller or overmatched in skill Bradley rios maidana bundrage.

If Andrade can get his ass in the ring soon and win a meaningful fight (Lara, charlo, trout) he could be a future cOtto opponent, would love tO see that

[jaded]

If this is true I don't understand it or see how JayZ can do anything but lose money on this.

[HeroBando]

Rumor is they're paying Ward over $10mill per fight. Those deals could be back heavy too, where the fighters make most of that at the end with ppv fights after they've been hyped up. I doubt RN makes any profit off them unless they're using those guys to build something else up.

So why is Ward pitching these tuneups left and right and getting rejected? If it was free to them, all paid for by Roc, Hbo/Sho would have no issues. Doesnt add up

[sicko]

Respect to Gaby Peńagarícano, he got Cotto a SWEET DEAL!

[Hougigo]

You would think thats what any up and coming promotional company would do, but this JayZ, he dont give a f*** about starting off small, hes going straight to the top by buying his way up.

That's what he spent most his time doing. That's why Andrade is still out. He was whispering in his ear and just effed up everything for him right now.
He got Ward and Cotto...... probably show in April, but that might be dead now with eyes on June.

[KillaMane26]

As I said before these guys like 50 cent and JAy-Z think they can just jump into boxing cuz they can offer alot of money but what about being able to keep their fighters active, securing fights, promoting them....NAH....Atleast 50cent didnt have beef with other promotions.....IF roc Nation keep it up they will have beef with Haymon and Top RANK

[Hougigo]

I doubt it's free for them, they would've snatched it up no problem because why not... no knock on them. Don't know why they'd have to shop around to HBO and Showtime to move a fight they're paying for.

[CANELOLUJAH]

And Mosley and Juan. I think

yeah I think, Mosley did himself dirty though cause he was in money problem he gave up his share of GBP to get the manny paycheck and Juan I dont think he under contract with TR just TR has the easier picking for him.
