Miguel Cotto reps are here for #CaneloKirkland to check things out. They have signed term sheet for Cotto-Canelo this fall if both win.

Of course you're going to land less and throw less if there is no opportunity to engage because one guy wants to play tag, run and headlock almost ALL NIGHT!!!!!!!!!. Even then compubox isn't accurate. From what I saw and what MANY people saw is one guy trying to create an action and another guy wanting to play tag. Don't be a nerd by counting on numbers to tell you who wanted to fight more. JUST WATCH THE FIGHT.

There were times in the fight where pacquiao had floyd on the ropes or in the corner and he would then back up letting floyd reset in the middle of the ring. Floyd didn't hold at those points & pacquiao did nothing. Btw I had it 8-4 floyd with 7-5 floyd on a swing round.

We shall see.

I remember you thought this fight was unlikely long ago. And I told you that Team Cotto was going to give everyone a rude awakening. And then what happened?

gotta give you credit, i wasnt expecting cotto so reluctant , but then we didnt know anything about his roc nation deal back then, to me that changed everything... but again credit for calling it first...

This is gonna be fun again

Floyd-Garcia or Floyd-Khan aren't going to be big enough fights to force Nelo to move again. He just did 2 million against Kirkland, no one wants to see Floyd against anyone but GGG. It is what it is, unless he fights him, his next PPV will barely break 1 mill if that.

Looks like FLoyd will have to give Pacquiao a rematch to even compete. Or GGG

The Cotto-Canelo deal fell through before Roc Nation came to the table. I always knew that Cotto would run everyone's faces through the mud at the negotiation table.That he would have series of tough stipulations.

The second round of negotiations for this fight will probably be even more difficult than the first. Top Rank won't be mediating. Canelo's ego is now bigger. And if Cotto wins next fight, his ego will be a bit bigger too.

All I can say is good luck to this fight happening. It's arguably worse than the Mayweather vs. Pacquaio situation. But everyone doesn't realise it.

Damnit Canelo. Not this crap again!

I think he is the future of this sport but he already got pushed out now he wants to do it again. Wait for Cotto to fight in june and then challenge him in Oct. Geeez. I like the kid alot but this self-entitlement bugs me.

Floyd has had the same self entitlement for years and it turned out ok for him. He is just taking a page out of the mayweather how to become the face of boxing book.
Only way I see him having a shot is against Cotto other than that there is no chance

Trusting Dan Rafael can make you look foolish. Dan Rafael has been pro-GBP after hearing Oscar's sob story of having his company stolen from out under him. Dan Rafael is the same moron that told us Mayweather-Cotto 2 was imminent when Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations were almost finished.

Dan Rafael has sources. That's all. Sources don't equal the truth. Just sources.

Blah blah blah Cotto aint fighting Mayweather so get over it.

[Ringlife]

If Cotto fights Canelo on 9/12/15 and if Mayweather fights either Thurman or Khan. I will order both ppv's f##k it I'm freak.
