Comments Thread For: Video: De La Hoya is Furious With Cotto Dropping Title

[nielon]

Oscar must have snorted a few lines.

^^^^ He looks su****ious... thats what I thought too

[Bandman]

Right here, De La Hoya saying Canelo us fighting Cotto because he wants to be MW champion of the world.

No more excuses.



Did you even Watch the video?

In the video, De La Hoya clearly says "Canelo wants to be MW champion."

In fact, he said the only reason he wanted to fight Cotto was to be MW champion.

That news this argument away.

but canelo said himself he's not a middleweight. so who to listen to, the fighter or the promoter.. besides they want the fight to marinate, meaning if he wins his next opponent will not be ggg. so why not just give golovkin the belt right now.

Putting an overhyped MMA fighter on the cover of the Ring is more of a disgrace to boxing.

[BucaRican]

Man Floyd was right. This guy is not cut out to be a promoter. I don't know if he realizes that his fighter still can be MW champion.

Unless he is providing fuel to the fire and trying to promote the fight by calling out Cotto.

Either way Cotto's response is classic "go tell Oscar to pay the WBC 1.1 million"

[taste]

Oscar said "rules" and WBC in the same sentence.

Oscar is mad he got out-maneuvered by Cotto. Just last week Canelo said he didn't want to fight for the title, it was Cotto's idea. So Oscar is stuck paying his half of sanctioning fees for a belt his fighter doesn't even want and won't defend against the mandatory if he wins. Oscar is ******. He's been a **** promoter all year. Starting by not securing a venue in LA for Matthyssee-Provodnikov. Couldn't get anyone to buy Lemieux-N'dam so it ended up on Fox Sports II at the last minute. Which led to Lemieux having no name recognition which led to horrible PPV numbers and he lost a belt that could've been used as leverage. That strap could've gotten Lemieux a tune-up on HBO before fighting GGG with the promise of fighting GGG next which would had led to more money and bigger PPV buys. He also let TR acquire rights to Postol. He knew Postol and Matthysse were going to be fighting for vacant title. Postol's previous fight in the US was on a PBC card. Oscar should've swooped in and got him on the cheap, just like TR did, that way he was covered if Matthysse lost. Now he's stuck paying a **** load of fees for a belt his fighter doesn't want and won't keep. He is not a good promoter.

Darn great post!

Green K!

oscar gets to pay for sanctioning fees, and cotto doesnt, thats why he is mad...

You mean Oscar chooses to pay sanctioning fees. Cotto doesn't care about the strap or fighting Golovkin if he wins, so why throw a million down the toilet?

They arent paying a million. The majority of the fee cotto is talking aboit was step aside money for GGG

[Mr. Philadel]

typical of this cross dressing clown to say some ****** ****...Nelo still gets the prize....so take a line and put a tampon between your legs and STFU
