Comments Thread For: Cotto-Heiland Deal Close, But Requires Canelo Too

[Dean_Razorback]

GGG. He should move up and show that he is the real deal. He wont though because he'll keep KO'ing these 160 clowns that will make he look good.

Quillin??? is that you???

hbo is forcing him to fight canelo,lol,lets see if cotto agrees since he said like two weeks ago that nobody dictates his career,let's see if that's true

This can barely be considered forcing, HBO is negotiating for what is best for them in exchange for showing a non demanded fight. Cotto was always going to fight Canelo but now he gets the privileged of doing it without TR'S involvement and HBO will dictate the terms not Canelo and GB.

course it's going to be a catchweight fight,cotto was on espn deportes la nacion and he said his next fight depending of his opponent would determine if it's ppv or regular hbo,he said he makes decisions that are good for him in terms of opponent so i'm guessing he'll choose to have a catchweight

This next fight, regardless of who he fights now, is not PPV. But him and Roc probably don't know that.

As for the CW, maybe... but 155 is too extreme. If it's like 158 or 9 sure. If it's like 155 or something near the bottom, this fight can go fuck off

I'm sorry dude but this is a primadona, popularity first, belts mean nothing, make your own Canelo weight division (155 lb), Haymon monopolize, steroid and catch weight era.

WTF?

WTF?

Cotto already said numerous times that whether or not it will be PPV would be dependent on the opponent and Roc Nation even said that they understood that a fight VS Bundrage was not PPV worthy. As for the catch weight as much as we hate them, technically 155lb is the MW minimum and 160lb is the maximum. So if both fighters agree it can be fought anywhere at or in between the minimum or maximum. ( I know it sucks)

What do you mean "winner should face GGG"? You talking like GGG is the champ. If anything, GGG needs to earn a shot at Cotto or Canelo instead. GGG hasn't done jack shlt in boxing and needs to step up his level of competition. If your going to praise GGG for his KO's then you need to go and dlck ride Wilder too.

Very interesting logic here. Basically GGG doesn't deserve to fight top level guys until he starts fighting top level guys, very contradicting statement.

Cotto will jump ship to showtime to avoid nelo and ggg.

Do you think Cotto is care of Canelo? you are delusional. The only reason the didn't fought on May is because Roach was not going to be able to train Cotto due to the May-Pac fight. Everyone know they are going to fight in September.

Yup, all it took was HBO threatening to not pay the licensing fee for his next fight. Good thing nobody had to coerce him to do it

LOL these dudes are acting like HBO isn't forcing Cotto's hand.

If that were the case, why not go for the whole enchiladas and force him to fight GGG next his mandatory and not Canelo who brings nothing to the table? Simple it's called negotiating and it's all about money. The decision is rather easy Canelo a star or GGG some on the way up who's fans are maybe Canelo loyalist.
