Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs Miguel Cotto: Who is the real "A" side?

[Barcham]

Canelo was on Floyd's undercard for years, that's the only reason he is a draw. It took like what 6 fights to set up that fight with Canelo. Cotto got his numbers on his own, Canelo piggy backed off of Floyd. The real question here is what has Canelo done without Floyd's name involved?

300k that's it.

Canelo just brought in the highest HBO boxing ratings since 2006. You do not base A and B side on PPV stats alone.

Screw this a side b side crap, at the end of the day Canelo will walk this rican down and tko in 9. You heard it here first.

With Floyd AND Manny on right before that leading right into my point of him riding Floyd's numbers.

alvarez and it's not that close

cotto is not nearly as big a star as he thinks he is

[Mitchell Kane]

That's a great point.

Cotto is a great draw but I doubt he does north of 200k against Lara and if Canelo would have fought Martinez I don't see that fight doing less then 400k.

I still think it's a 50/50 profit share if Canelo fights Cotto, both guys deserve respect because they are both draws.

Some people talking about PPV buys are forgetting Cotto-Mayorga.

Aside from Mayweather and Pacquiao, few fighters could do big PPV numbers on SHO, especially if they aren't an established PPV brand name.

Canelo may well be on his way to becoming a PPV "brand", and being back on HBO, should see his PPV buys increase significantly.

Canelo at this point. He's the hotter product at the moment. Did 30,000 fans at a stadium and had great numbers for the Kirkland fight.

[Greed.]

Should be 50/50 but I wouldn't be surprised if Canelo takes 40/60 in order to make the fight

[sicko]

It is Cotto...PERIOD! Not even debatable and that is no disrespect to Canelo but have some respect for the man that has been doing this longer
