Cotto Wants New York As Venue For Cotto-Canelo

[gmc_rfc_06]

... or Cotto can vacate the WBC belt, fight anyone else in NYC, still make his $2m+, and still be positioned for another massive fight to follow (Mayweather-Cotto II would be an obvious choice if HBO were to move him off of the network).

Meanwhile, Canelo misses out on another big name, with the biggest fights available to him being vs Mundine or vs Lemeiux (well before Oscar probably wanted to go with the fight, but far before Golovkin would even be considered).

Cotto's got Canelo by the balls, and he's letting him no

If Cotto vacates his MW belt, why would Mayweather have any interest in a rematch? He has already beat him comfortably, with no option of winning a belt in yet another division, Cotto brings nothing to the table for Mayweather.

Just like Miguel, Canelo will get big money for fighting anyone. If Miguel causes the fight to fall apart over diva demands, it's not going to be Canelo that takes a hit.

the catchweight champion of the world queen cotto at it again.

Nowhere in the article does it stae ny or no fight. It does say that Canelo has NO PROBLEM going to NYC to fight.

I guess most people missed this post besides brushmyhair

You're an idiot. Canelo already agreed to Vegas. Neutral territory



And Kneeguel doesn't have the guts to fight in Texas, GGG, Canelo, Pacquaio (again), Lara, Trout rematch or use knee pads.

How is Vegas neutral? It's a Mexican's hometown, just as much as Texas. Even the judging in Vegas gave Canelo a draw against Floyd... idiot. Neutral would be St. Louis. This should be in NY but as stated I'm okay with Vegas. If Cotto wants NY, go for it. If Canelo were to win Cotto would have no excuses. But Canelo isn't going on the road for even one fight in his career, we already know this.

Miguel Queen Cotto showing why he is the number one Diva in the game. Negotiations going smooth sailing and all of sudden drops the bomb of MSG when theyve already agreed to Vegas a neutral site.

Please Canelo just accept his last minute f4ggoty terms and retire this glorified journeyman. Youd think all the beatings hes taken in his career would knock the diva outta of him but i guess not. One more beating at the hands of Canelo should make Cotto not lace em up ever again.

How can something be agreed upon if that's what they are still negotiating? Wow, some of these anti-Cotto posts are straight up moronic lol.

To keep things fair;

New York judges gave Cotto the win over Clottey, one by a score of 116-111, in a fight he was clearly out throw and out landed, and also got away with a blatant body slam.

Why the hell would anyone want to fight in the armpit of America, St. Louis? That place is ****** trash and would attract Puerto Ricans, so no it's not neutral, moron. Look at all the imbeciles that rioted, there probably wouldn't be a place to fight, didn't everything get burnt down, save for KFCs??

And Canelo doesn't go on the road to fight? Hey moron, he's from Mexico and fights in the United States.

[icha]

Cotto has completly embarrassed canelo in this negotiations ahahahh. I bet Cotto will pick Canelo ring entrance music and his underwear too lol. Cotto is showing canelo how a true A class operates in boxing.

Mayweather-Canelo was Class #1 and Now Cotto is giving him a lleson all the way from the nogotiations to the fight. I think canelo is about to fail the grade again and be sent back to repeat the classes lol.

fight will be on canelos backyard, at canelos preferred weight on canelos network so STFU...
