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

[Eastcoast]

WTF? Did Geale just have knee surgery or a hip replacement?


I'm puzzled why Cotto would take such a difficult fight (I think Geale beats him), that would bring him relatively little recognition/money?

[DoktorSleepless]

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

Did they? Source?

Great BET fight!

Ward's comeback fight on June 20 is going to be on BET LMAO. Seriously.

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.

Maybe the two of them together could actually sell out half of the venue for once.

Do you actually believe this 'big news'? Geale will be what? The fourth or fifth opponent announced in the past two months for Cotto?

It's gonna end up by having Ward fight Cotto in a video simulation on a giant screen with Ward in Oakland and Cotto in NY. The first holographic boxing match.

When asked about that $50 million...

"That was a number reported but I talked to Roc Nation officials who laughed and said it was totally incorrect. I tend to believe them. No way is he getting $50M guaranteed for 3 fights"

Cotto confirmed it himself to ESPN Deportes though. So did his legal advisor in a boxingscene article. So it was more than just an internet rumor. Maybe he was just lying to make himself look better.

I was at Ward vs Dawson. It was packed.
