Apparently HBO won't host Cotto's next fight unless Canelo is guaranteed next.

Did he?
"He signed because he liked what Roc Nation offered. I am told that besides whatever money for his fights and other stuff they will do for his promotional company and whatever else he wants to do they paid him a very large signing bonus. I do not know if it's true but I heard they gave him $5 million. Unofficial!"

"The deal in general is much more compact than what any other promoter can offer, because it includes the guarantees for Miguel in different areas of boxing and non-boxing....."
Last year, few promoters were worried when Roc Nation Sports announced their entry into the highly competitive market of signing and promoting fighters. In January of this year, the company made their first power play by signing WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward, who is also regarded by many as the number two pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. Last Thursday, another power play was made when Roc Nation signed one of the most recognizable names in the sport, WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto.Comment

He got a $5 million signing bonus to fight no one, that's still a lot more to do nothing than Canelo is for facing Kirkland.Did he?

I like how you ignored my previous comment about this very subject:
"While Penagaricano wasn't able to discuss any specifis, Cotto's return is still being targeted for the month of June. The network has not been determined. Various sources indicate to boxingscene that both HBO & Showtime are very interested in showcasing Cotto's next fight. And, Cotto's signing to Roc Nation has not turned away the advances of powerful manager/adviser Al Haymon, who remains very interested in matching several of his fighters against Cotto."
