Comments Thread For: Cotto's Adviser: De La Hoya's Public Pressure Won't Work

[bigdunny1]

Because Cotto didn't sign a contract with HBO. So he can beat Canelo and go fight Floyd on Showtime. That's what Cotto does.

Just stop any chance of a mayweather fight died when he signed with Roc Nation. Name one Roc Nation fighter who has fought a Haymon fighter? Name one Roc Nation who is being thrown around as a legit opponent for a Haymon fighter? Roc Nation outbid Haymon in a purse bid and offered to pay a ridiculous amount of money to Haymon and his fighter a career payday and Haymon despises Roc Nation so much that he forced his fighter to vacate the belt rather then be forced to fight on a Roc Nation card. Roc Nation is being sued because they basically tried to bribe a fighter to NOT fight on a haymon card. Since Cotto signed with Roc Nation when has Mayweather even hinted or suggested he's fighting Cotto? Mayweather has TONS of better options for fights and doesn't need Cotto and won't fight Cotto. If Cotto ducks Canelo again he is screwed with too many burned bridges from Cotto/Roc Nation it will be hard to find a dancing partner.

Im all Canelo on this one but its in the article that some issues have not been resolved. Oscar just trying to apply public pressure like he said.

This idiotic adviser of Cotto needs to be made aware that there is no A-side in this fight. Their A-side crap has already been snubbed by Hoya when he and Canelo walked away and fought Kirkland. They could do it again. Cotto needs Canelo as well.

Fans would be happy to have Cotto vs GGG, if that's what this idiotic adviser of Cotto wants. Higher risk, lower pay.

I'm pretty confident Cotto's idiotic adviser has forgotten more than you'll ever know about his business.

Cotto's idiotic adviser keep injecting this ****** A-side crap of theirs. It won't work. This is a 50/50 fight. They need each other. Unless one of them wants GGG as a replacement fight. That's the only other lucrative choice they have, albeit lesser.

I think the fans are blowing the A-side / B-side crap out of proportion. Let the negotiators do their job. They have access to information and details we don't see. Patience.

I'd be glad to see Oscar/Canelo walk away again and one of them is forced to take GGG in their next fight. Such fight would be more intriguing to millions of fans all over the world.

Point is, why do these clowns have to negotiate in a contentious manner? Can't they talk amicably while drinking Corona or Tecate?

I'm sick of these people always injecting this A-side crap in a fight that is clearly 50/50.

man it would be hilarious if Canelo said "enough with this female" and took another fight instead.

Im sure theres WAY too much money at stake, AND he gets to push Cotto's **** in as a bonus, so its wishful thinking that he would walk away.......

Who would Canelo fight? Mundine? lol

cootto looking for a way out of fighting canola knows he can't win

[Scipio2009]

If Cotto backs out who does he fight next? He can't fight any Haymon fighters. He can't Andrade he is suing Roc nation. He can't fight Top Rank fighters not after the way Cotto stabbed Arum in the back. And he will have backed out twice on Golden Boy so you can scratch any of their fighters off the list. We all know he wants nothing to do with GGG who will kill this diva chump. What's Roc nation gonna make him fight Ward?

Jorge Sebastian Heiland (WBC #1 challenger).

If HBO has beef with the move, Roc Nation moves the fight to BET, with the fight coming from NYC.

Beyond that, you can say to hell with HBO getting Cotto to fight Canelo or Golovkin; pride is a mother****er. Cotto's already made a ton of money and, if Roc Nation backs him, isn't going to let HBO or anyone tell him to do ****.
