Cotto's contract= 50 million for 3 fights

[mrpain81]

How they gonna make that kind of money doe? I mean unless cotto fights mayweather, pac and canelo with a 50% split in those 3 fights I fail to see how they can pay him that much against anyone else. Does not make any sense to me.

That's roughly $17M a fight. He didn't even earn close to that against mayweather.

The bigger story is all the muppets believe it.

They are really going to pay him $16 million fighting the k9s of the world.

I'm sure right now they no it's make or break and have to strike while the irons hot. After May vs Pac boxing will get a huge boost. From there I see other upcoming fighters stock rise dramatically as we enter 2016. May and Pac will likely be retiring.

This is like the Chicago Bears giving Jay Cutler 7 years 126 million.

Cotto is around the end of his career. And he is going to make 50 million. Jay-Z knows how to piss away money.

It's like janitor making CEO pay Cotto is only worth 2 million a fight

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'm sure this will all come down to Cotto wanting to portray that he is better off signing with Roc Nation. Realistically who knows how hungry Cotto is now entering the twilight of his career. This is a easy fight, easy money situation most likely. We don't know Roc nations future long term but landing a ATG like Cotto is the first step in establishing a framework for the promotion to lift off. Things change so fast in half a year, let alone the time frame from which Cotto finishes his last fight. It still is very unclear whether Showtime messed up or not with dumping all that money for Floyd.

Quack (GGG) Quack (Canelo)

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.

According to these guys (who are usually spot on). Don't know what their source is, though.

At any rate, that's 16.6 million per fight. That Canelo money is starting to look like chump change all of a sudden.

The likely scenario is him being overpayed for tuneups for the few fights he has left, Haymon style. If that is in fact the case I can't say I'm not disappointed, but I can't be mad at him either. Seriously, who here hates money?

Three fights:

-PR Day Weekend in New York: Cotto(c) vs Johnson/Mora/Bundrage [~$5m; 90/10 split on the TV rights fee and the take on the gate, plus sponsorships]

-Cotto vs Alvarez, likely Nov/Dec [~$20m; favorable split (60/40, Cotto) on the PPV take, plus a share of the gate and international TV rights {Canelo likely gets the full Mexico TV rights}, and his sponsorships]

-Cotto's Farewell- PR Day 2016 in Puerto Rico [?]

any shortfall on the take, in all honesty, can be written off as the premium Roc Nation had to put up to get Cotto.
