Cotto Wants New York As Venue For Cotto-Canelo

[Bardock]

LMAO. Lets see the cott****s spin this one

MSG would have made perfect sense after the PR parade. Remind me again why this fight couldn't have happened back in June. Because they needed their pointless tuneups? I'm getting tired of boxing's dangling a carrot on a stick routine. This year may suck but just wait until you see next year -- said every year now.

Vegas or gtfoh..

No budging

he has no stature. no one takes him seriously as a MW. just like no one takes canelo seriously as a MW even though his last 3 fights were there. cotto beat a cripple at a catch weight to become champ. also none of that matters when negotiating a fight. did baldomir get to choose the venue against floyd because baldomir was champ? canelo just did 31k, cotto did 12k. canelo just did 2.2 million viewers, cotto 1.5. even in cotto's "super" fight against sergio he did the same ppv numbers as canelo against a boring guy like lara. cotto is suffering from fake a-situs, where you think you are the a-side but you actually aren't ward has this as well.

Baldomir & Cotto weren't in the same situation. Baldomir was a nobody with a title. Mayweather was a 2 division champion at the time & one of the biggest names in the sport even than. Cotto & Canelo are much closer in reach to each other. And if Cotto didn't have stature in the sport & at MW, Canelo wouldn't be trying so hard to make this fight. A W over Cotto speeds up the Canelo takeover once Mayweather is outta the game.

Hopefully it's in NYC! I haven't seen Cotto live since Margarito II; and I'm pissed that I couldn't make the Sergio fight - hopefully I can attend this one

[Thank Me Later]

Miguel Cotto is the A-side fighter. He can make that demand. I don't see the big deal. Canelo fought Mayweather in Vegas? That's Floyd's backyard. So what's the problem?

[bluzi]

I for one thought Canelo had one up on Cotto in this round because if Cotto doesnt fight Canelo , he needs to fight GGG (which he wont do) , makes me wonder how come Cotto comes in with demands.... maybe as someone else said Floyd can be on the cards ?!?!?! seems unlikely , but anything can happen.....

[EdWins]

Okay I love Cotto but as much as I do I think he's copping out nasty like a b1tch. Fight in my turf or no fight? Is this dude forreal? This is the type of fight that MUST be on neutral ground, either Las Vegas or **** it go the Bob Arum rout and book this in Macao, China. smh

[PulpFriction]

How the **** is it Canelo's fault? He and GBP already agreed to fight in Vegas, and met his demands.

Kneeguel is the one coming with these ridiculous demands in the 11th hour.

Get your face out of his ass, it's embarrassing.

[gmc_rfc_06]

This is pathetic.

Vegas had been agreed, everything was in place and Miguel throws out this nonsense at the last hour? Absolute garbage. Vegas is the fight capital and neutral, it's a win-win.

At this point they should just tell him Vegas or no fight. It's not worth the constant hassle.
