Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: One Minor Hurdle Remains For Cotto-Canelo

[KnickTillDeaTh]

Its actually pretty funny that people call Cotto a diva for exercising the advantages that he feels he has earned for what he has achieved through out his career. Yet, Canelo tries to dictate terms, and response time, throws chairs when he doesnt get his way, walks away from the table in the middle of negotiations, and now as the challenger, with no title he is requesting a rematch clause based on whether or not the fight is close. But yeah Cotto and Gaby is the problem....

your facts are a little off my friend. Jay Z is the owner of Roc Nation founded in 2008. In 2013 Jay Z created Roc Nation Sports in partnership with CAA. Roc Nation is the parent organization to RNS, as such that would make Jay Z the owner not just an "minority" owner. Jay Z is also a licensed Sports agent. Mikhail Prokorov owns the Nets, and Jay Z purchased a minority stock, in this example Jay Z is Prokorov and RocNation/RNS is the Nets.

Jay-z is a partner in RNS, the guys who technically formed/helmed RNS and RN are Mark Gillespie and Dean Wilson with majority funding from the guy who owns LiveNation. Hence "NATION" in Roc "NATION" and Roc "NATION" sports. He just sits as the public face of the company and does talent requiting for them...hence his ties to Lebron which is what led to Jay getting his license and figuring it was easy money to make. Jay did the same thing with 40/40, he just held minor equity in the company. They invest low, use his media presence, coverage and name, build up, and sell off rights if not entire companies that way. That's the game and a pretty smart one, little to no risk on his end.

Except that Jay Z owns a Majority stake in Roc Nation, which is a subsidiary of Live Nation, Live Nation entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment. He is Also listed as founder and owner, which makes him the founder and owner.

Cotto: I want to be second introduced, "Canelo ok".
Cotto: I will be sitting in the blue corner, "Canelo oK".
Cotto: I will finalize the fight whenever I want too, "Canelo oK".
Cotto: The fight will be 60/40, "Canelo oK".

To make a fight the following people must approve:

Promoter
Manager
Network
Sanctioning Body
State Commission
Wife
Neighbor
Dog

Dog sez he's on board, just so he gets steak dinners in his contract, and a rematch for more steak dinners and doggie treats. Seems fair. Dogs are usually reasonable just so you respect their contract options.

HA

But seriously, yeah let's get this one signed and rolling. We need more great fights with no b.s. involved.

[Slowhand]

If they want to fight each other at 155 for the rest of their lives, fine. Just leave the belt out of it.

[M Bison]

Wouldn't mind a rematch especially If it means seeing Cotto get sparked two times.
