Cotto isn't fighting Fraud next for 2 reasons

Cotto signed an agreement stating HBO was only willing to put on the Cotto-Geale fight if he fought a major fight (Canelo) in the fall. Cotto and Roc Nation would likely get their asses sued bad if they jumped ship to Showtime and fought Fraud.

Haymon and Jay Z don't like each other


Fl0moes can just give it up already

You sure? Event sold 4.4 mil ppv's-half is 2.2 mil. The price was $100, which is much more than the other ppv's.

I saw a post that the ppv's adjusted income was $154 mil for either Floyd ODH or Canelo, which was the highest grossing ppv prior to this.

I believe 2.2 mil x$100 exceeds $153 mil.

Well sure they saw a higher amount per ppv buy due to the price inflation, but after they split their share with HBO, it would be the equivalent of them selling 1.1mil buys x the $89 or $99hd per buy.

I'm not saying that they lost money. I was just responding to the poster who stated that they can care less about what Floyd sells in Sept due to the card selling 4.4mil buys. That 4.4mil has to be split 4 different ways.

I don't see it happening either. Haymon stole from beyonce with her dad, I can't imagine jay having zero principles and putting business before family. Then again nothing greedy businessmen do would surprise me, they have no integrity.

True. I totally forgot about this. Cotto/Geale was contingent on Cotto facing Canelo later in the year.

You can bet your bottom dollar Floyd fights Cotto next for the middleweight strap.

Oscar is about to have a stroke!!!

Is Cotto exclusive to HBO? If he fights Floyd on Showtime he makes more money period, HBO can't do anything unless he is under contract to them. He could skip Geale altogether, problem solved.

Goddamn you're dumb. Just stfu already.

Let me put it into words you can understand

Cotto already signed a contract with HBO. In that contract the terms were that if he fought Geale, HBO would televise it under the condition that Cotto would fight a major fight for them in the fall. That major fight is Canelo.

So yes he's pretty much on a two fight contract with them.

If he chose to break that contract he would be taken to the cleaners by HBO and their lawyers.

I'm Dumb? I asked because I didn't know you fool. Otherwise gasp, I wouldn't have asked.

Also my second statement stands, if that was a condition for them to air a fight with Geale, all he needs to do is not fight Geale. The obligation was not to have two fights on HBO, the obligation from what you said was that he wanted to fight Geale, who is more than likely the one that HAS to fight on HBO, and HBO said to do this you have to fight Canelo next. So all Cotto has to do is say he doesn't want to fight either of HBO's guys and fight Floyd leaving everyone extremely salty.

Pull your head out of Mayweather's A$$ Espinoza and focus on getting more Good Cards on Showtime! Been a slow year for Showtime other than the Mayweather stuff
