Canelo has forced Floyd's hand

Pacquiao is out 6 months. I highly doubt that.

Canelo has forced Floyd's hand

Floyd is the biggest draw in the sport. All he has to do is announce a fight and Canelo's hand will be forced to fight a top fighter. Sadly De La Hoya said it won't be Golovkin for 2 years which basically means never. Cotto v Canelo is the only fight that could rival any Floyd fight.

Everyone on this forum knew that Canelo/Oscar had no option but to withdraw from 2 May if MayPac got made coz that's what everyone would buy...Canelo never made an azz of himself. He KTFO'd Kirkland in front of 30,000+ fans & made both May+Pac/fight of the century (LOL) look even more crappy than it was.

As long as Canelo has a good opponent, he's not making an azz outta himself.

such an accomplishment. It did wonders for ishida's career btw.

You're not gonna outshine Mayweathers Final fight. No one cares that you beat a chinless inactive career ****up in Kirkland.

If you want "Mexican dates" do it on Mexican soil, cause your not getting American Dollars for it.

I get that Canelo is ambitious however don't think for once that just because you did 2 million plus views on HBO that they are going to allow you to go against FMJ who just did 4.4 million on PPV, on the same date. Canelo needs to realize that the September fight is supposed to be FMJ final curtain call so regardless who he fights folks are gonna flock to the FMJ fight as it's supposed to be the last chance folks will get to see him lose.
If Canelo wanted those dates, he should have beat FMJ when he had the chance. Since he failed to do so he needs to shut the f ck up and wait his turn to get them.

So I don't get the FMJ haters talking trash about the 4.4 million views, I don't expect FMJ to repeat those numbers even if he fought Manny again, However I think regardless of who he selects for his September opponent he will crack 1 million buys just because it's his fairwell fight.

Keep riding off of Floyd's name lol what a fraud. Had to schedule your fight behind a Mayweather replay just to get numbers. He already beat you scrub so stop mentioning his name.

[PeterNeversoft]

Mayweathers time is done. No one wants to see him or pay to see him anymore so the date is all yours, Canelo.

[AgainstTheRopes]

i still dont get the big deal about fighting on the week of May 5th or September 15th unless it falls on that day or 1 day before/after.

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

canelo will move his date again doesn't this idiot understand that his drawing power is not bigger then Floyd if canelo wont budge Floyd will take the only thing that can bump a Floyd fight and thats cotto v.s canelo but what happens when Floyd gives cotto the rematch for 5 belts in 3 different weight classes nothing can top that

Hbo will do it out of spite. Showtime has killed them in ppv the last two years
