Cotto's advisor confirms a Mayweather rematch is on the table, but is vague as to when, just says "it's there":


However, that doesn't rule out a potential Mayweather-Cotto rematch. But, that doesn't mean the rematch would necessarily happen in May or even in 2015.

"That fight is there, has been there and will be there. I don't know if [it will happen] in May or September, or the next year [in 2016] -*but the fight is there," Penagaricano said.

Also goes on to say cotto has no contract with HBO but that's nothing new.

No fool! It's like you don't know how to read! If Arum (top Rank) is saying that Canelo (Golden Boy) deserves Cinco de Mayo weekend, then that's when they are fighting. TR co-promotes Cotto. Thanx for the Cotto HBO info 2-0-Sixx @2-0-Sixx ! That's what I've been wanting to know for months

So that's when they are fighting...May 2nd? Does Cotto know he is fighting on that date? Cotto is the boss of when he fights...not Arum. Cotto wants MSG in June...COTTO is the A-side not Canelo...fool.

If Cotto fights Floyd then Canelo needs to fight GGG. GGG was looking to fight in May anyway and has a growing Mexican fanbase even though he isn't Mexican. So yeah Floyd, take the Cotto fight and miss out on the biggest purse in history. And speaking of history, you will be fighting for history but don't worry as "belts don't matter." Cotto, you will have to face GGG at some point and he is going to crucify you. Canelo, if you step up to fight GGG you'll be crucified as well but you will gain more respect and fans. You'll also be the A side and a Mexican PPV on the May date will ensure you win the date back.

So yeah Canelo, TR, HBO, GB, etc just say fuck Cotto and push a GGG fight.

So what your saying is: May 2nd Golden Boy event vs TMT, Cotto Promotions, Top Rank in association with Cotto co-starring Freddy Roach, Floyd Sr pt2. Canelo vs GGG does around 500K PPV. Face it...Canelo is about to lose money because of his stubbornness...Oscar will eventually reign him in because Oscar wants to be available to lend his Golden Boy secretarial services to the KING of boxing Floyd. Canelo will have to keep it pushing.

If Arum is so concerned with Canelo fighting on that date then Arum and TR will not render services. Again, it is a per fight agreement so if TR were to pull out, that means Cotto Promotions and/or TMT will need to cover more costs.

Canelo vs GGG does around 500K PPV.
No, it actually does double or more. Cotto mayweather is a fight that has been done before. Cotto Mayweather did good because of the undercard, Canelo Mayweather because of the undercard. With the exception of maybe two Mexican households, every Mexican who purchases will purchase Canelo GGG as it's a fight people want to see and a fight that hasn't been done. And GGG needs a ppv fight. Even though his numbers on HBO have been great, he needs a ppv fight and one where he is fighting someone with an entire nation behind him is great for business. The only way FLOYD wins on that day is if he fights Pac.

Face it...Canelo is about to lose money because of his stubbornness...Oscar will eventually reign him in because Oscar wants to be available to lend his Golden Boy secretarial services to the KING of boxing Floyd. Canelo will have to keep it pushing.
How is he going to lose money? By not fighting Cotto? He can fight GGG, be the A side and make a ton fighting him in May. And Oscar is more concerned with dealing with Arum now. Why in the fuck would he want to lend anything to FLOYD? Have you forgotten what just happened at GB?

Canelo aint fighting no damn GGG. Thats a pipe dream lol. Manny will fight Canelo before that happens. Another Canelo loss this soon would damage Canelo and Oscar aint gonna let that happen lol. Got Em!!
If Canelo and Cotto fight, the winner has to fight him, no way around it. So you are saying Canelo would lose? But you also said GGG didn't show you anything but now you're saying Oscar is protecting him?

And aren't you 206's spokesman? I can see why you are on some other shit.

Canelo vs GGG would absolutely kill it. Mexicans love GGG.
Golovkin said he'd fight Canelo in Mexico too.

The WBC honored him in Mexico for his interim belt. I've never seen them honor someone for an interim belt before lol , the WBC was like fuck, we need to hop on this Golovkin gravy train

That's right man. The winner MUST fight Golovkin or they will be stripped of their title and forever labeled a coward. Mexicans would never forgive Canelo for that and Oscar is well aware which is why Oscar always fought the best in his career, he knows Canelo has to fight the best as well.

I literally can't stop laughing...I'm face flat on the floor Pacquaio style...but my hand is on top of the desk still active typing this...so Cotto is good enough to take a fight to 1 million PPV buys against Canelo...but against Floyd pt2 for Cotto's Middle Weight strap it's gonna FLOP!?!? Your not saying that right?

Cotto scored 2 KO's in last 2 fights owns a title , GGG scored KO's in succession owns a title, Pacquiao scored 6 knock downs in his last fight #2 PPV star owns a title, Floyd is the king of PPV owns 2 division titles...Canelo: Trout (questionable) Mayweather (embarrassment) Angulo (KO) Lara (just barely)...Alvarez no titles...not a current champion. Canelo is going to be the odd man out if he keeps this up.

If Canelo vs GGG happens on the same date, May 2nd, as Mayweather vs Cotto, the Floyd fight would not break a million. The date is for Mexicans not Puerto Ricans. It would be dumb to fight on the same date. For everyone involved. Just a pissing contest that would only hurt both fights numbers. But with that said, the largest Mexican fan base, which is much bigger than the Puerto Rican fan base, would certainly support the only Mexican fighting in Canelo.

Bay Area, you're underestimating the Mexican influence in boxing. Could be a bum taxi driver fighting on May 5th or sept 26th and they'd still kill it.
Sooo...what Mexican vs Mexican has sold 1 million PPV buys?

"It performed better than the 165,000 PPV buys Barrera produced in his rematch with Rocky Juarez, a lesser-known opponent, in September, but it fell short of the 310,000 buys generated by Barrera's rubber match with Mexican rival Erik Morales in November 2004 and the 296,000 achieved by Barrera-Morales II in June 2002.

Barrera's best pay-per-view performance -- 310,000 -- came in his upset victory against Naseem Hamed in April 2001."

Oscar vs:

Mexican--->

Vargas: 950,000 (Mexican)

Chavez: 500,000 (Mexican)

Non Mexican--->

Floyd: 2 million

Trinidad: 1.4 million

Hopkins: 1 million

Pacquiao: 1.4 million

Mayorga: 924,000

Shane: 950,000

I'm not down playing the Mexican influence in boxing but numbers don't lie...more Mexicans purchase a fight with Floyd Mayweather involved than any other fighter in history (not named Oscar). That's why he has 2 events of 2 million PPV buys as an A-side and B-side. Oscar couldn't even get those numbers with Tito.

I meant Canelo is not gonna fight GGG next. If it aint Cotto it will be someone else not named GGG trust me. It aint happening for May 2nd no matter what. Also not sure who I would have winning between those two but obviously its a big risk. Also I just said GGG hasnt beat anyone so Im not crowning him yet. He looks good against scrubs but once he beats a great fighter than props will be given. I am all yall spokesman so take heed or yall will be fired. Got Em!!
