Haha I don't wanna diss my boy Pavlik, but remember when he defended vs. Espino? That was downright atrocious lol.

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"

I could be wrong, but I remember reading that the 50 million wasn't just for the 3 fights but for other business ventures. Some concerts in Puerto Rico as well as investing in Cotto promotions or something along those lines.

Cotto is not going to fght GG. He's holding the 160 belt hostage as a bargaining chip in the Canelo fight l. At least he's fighting a middleweight. I just don't think any guy at 160 is a tune up for Miguel Eventhough I'm sure they will look at this fight as one.

This fight is not even Bad. Cotto is never gonna fight GG. Expect the Canelo fight at 155 too

[Mike Haynes]

I wouldn't fight GGG either until he uses a normal pair of gloves...

[Ringlife]

This is a good match up, this is a dangerous fight for Cotto. If Cotto loses to Geale, that will ruin a Cotto,Canelo ppv showdown, like when he lost to Trout. No wonder if HBO is interested in this Cotto vs Geale match up

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.

There is no world no universe no dimension where Ward would be the main event over Cotto, not even in Oakland.

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.

Cotto gets a little over 10 mil per fight, the rest of the money is bonus and related to Cottos promotional company.

Cotto wins by Body shot knock out. Daniel Geale is a carbon copy of Yuri Froman, they fight almost exactly the same and Yuri is actually the taller and longer guy. Cotto wins by knock out.

Yuri Forman 5'11, 72" reach, 28-0 with 8 knock outs at the time of the Cotto fight.

Daniel Geale 5'10, 71" reach, 31-3 with 16 knock outs.
