Cotto-Canelo deal down to site decision

[aldo5408]

Still another important detail to resolve... a step aside agreement with Golovkin. Without that, no title will be at stake which will have an effect on the financial bottom line for the fight. Title fights bring in more money.

They probably don't even care about that
there are tens of millions at stake with or without the title

The fight should be in neutral Vegas and not in Cotto's garden. The fight should be on November 7th. Cotto has had enough vacation time.

Golovkin will have zero impact on this fight.

This is a mega-fight that sells on its own, the fight is far bigger than a belt. You're talking about two boxing mega stars along with a Puerto Rico-Mexico rivalry...it's a massive fight. If there is an issue with Golovkin then Cotto can give up the belt and the fight will still be every bit as huge.

These guys are both star attractions, they are not going to be dictated to by GGG.

Yep, the fight is just as big with or without Cotto's pretend world middleweight title of 157 pounds on the line.

Yes, you all like to say that titles mean nothing. That is why Floyd will not vacate the ones he holds at 154. That is why Cotto has yet to vacate his title. That is why people want to see Stevenson fight Kovalev to unify the titles.

Sure. You all keep believing that they mean nothing.

I guess vegas would be a more neutral location.

You do understand how contracts work? The champion, Cotto, is legally bound by contract to fight Golovkin NEXT unless Golovkin agrees to step aside. There has yet to be any details released regarding Golovkin accepting to do so. It really does not matter what the **** WBC want to do or not, they have been to court over this in the past and it almost pushed them into bankruptcy. They would not take a similar chance today with all the lawsuits floating around the boxing world.

I have said it before and will say it again, this will not be resolved until after Mayweather has his final fight and vacates his titles. The WBC will offer to put up the WBC 154 title in exchange for Cotto dropping the 160 title.

and since then you don't think that the WBC has altered their rules? Such as they'll probably change it as they see fit. I know its ******. I still expect Cotto to fight GGG after the Canelo fight. Even if Cotto gets stripped of the title, I still see him offering the match to GGG.

Vegas is not a more neutral location. Anything in the West will be Mexican heavy, anything on the East will be Puerto Rican heavy. It's just a matter of which will make the most money. The whole neutraility thing is lost in this fight. In Vegas, Cotto will have to stop Canelo to win the fight.

Las Vagas seems fair; I do wish it was at MSG though so I can go.

those bathrooms wont clean themselves, im sure youll be on the work schedule

Pretty sad around here when some ass named Slyboots gives me Red K for the above post that simply states a FACT but doesn't have the balls to reply to me in the thread. I guess he is too much of a PUSSY!!!

Not really a surprise considering he is a Cotto fan. He is just as much a coward as the 'fighter' he sucks off.

He should change his name to Pussinboots.
