Who should be considered the A-side in negotiations between Cotto and Canelo?

I don't really know... But depending how Canelo did this Sat Id say him judging by the dates and common opponent. Still, it's weird... Probably be 50/50 or around there but Cotto will likely make negotiating an issue depending on his stance. I think Canelo seems like the bigger name lately. For all intents and purposes, it seemed Cotto was tryin to get a win to fight Canelo or Floyd...

Clearly Cotto just look at their gurantees in their last fight with Cotto getting 7 milllion guranteed and Canelo 1.5 million. Cotto also has the better overall PPV numbers/TV Ratings, has the belt at 160, has a name value at 160-154 that no one else has and brings the eat coast PPV numbers. People also need to realize that Cotto has options if Canelo doesnt meet his demands he can easily call Floyd and fight him and make even more money so Canelo doesnt have a better option than to agree and be the B sid.
If Cotto wants it to be Cotto-Canelo it will be Cotto-Canelo.

If I remember correctly during the Martinez negotiations Canelo said he wouldn't wait for Cotto's response... and a week later he was still at it. Beating Laras didn't change anything also imo. Saving money from taxes is the key that's why the fight most likely would be held in Vegas best believe if it wasn't for that cinnamon role would be forced to bring that ass to NY.

Interesting question. They both have leverage. Cotto is the champion and has the bigger name as he has been in the sport longer. He is not a guy that is afraid to use his leverage.
But the Martinez PPV was a flop despite being on his holiday and in MSG.
Canelo brings the Mexican fanbase, the biggest in the sport. He can point to their head to head PPV matches with Mayweather. Cotto doing 1.5 million buys, Canelo 2.2. It may come down to how well the Lara PPV numbers turn out.
I think Cotto will force the fight at a lower weight, which shouldn't be a problem for Canelo, while Ginger will get more money than team Cotto may want to give up initially. I don't think there is a clear cut A side in this one.

it all depends on canelo-lara ppv numbers, cotto is not the same draw he used to be and his fight with martinez should have done a lot more, so if canelo does bigger numbers vs no-name lara then is clear who the bigger draw is...
