Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto-Daniel Geale Now in Play For June?

[DoktorSleepless]

Couldve had 10million to fight Canelo (a fighter he coulda beat) but now hes fighting for Geale...

I think he's getting 10 million regardless of who he's fighting with that $50M Roc Nation deal.

can't hate it, it's a good test for Cotto, Geale is a legit MW, yeah I know he lost to GGG but who wouldn't in MW

... Another nerosy... What if Gale wins? Then does he have to fight Golovkin again?

Poor Geale.

Just the thought of that may be enough for Geale to throw the fight.

Agree. Good HBO fight.

Great BET fight!

How do contracts like the one he has with Roc Nation work anyways? The promoter pays him and then tries to sell the fight to a network for a high enough price to make the money back with a profit? If so, there is no way HBO will pay that price for this fight.

Nice. I could see Cotto lose in Oakland on the Co-Main Event of the 6/20 card.

In Oakland, Andre Ward would be the Main Event.

lol well he said he wanted the rematch with Golovkin but you'd have to think Haymon prises him away like he did with Lee (then again Geale's promoter has a hook-up with HBO so maybe not), or maybe Geale unifies with Lemieux/N'Dam winner. Golovkin-Geale II is a hard fight to sell, unification or otherwise.

I'd think you'd want to have at least ONE black fighter for a fight on BLACK Entertainment Television, no?

Roc Nation already denied that $50 million, Rafael at ESPN reported it. Nothing but an internet rumor.
