Put it all on one card, screw it. Canelo-Cotto co main event and May-Pac main event.

That would be an hell of a card.

^^^^^

That card would break the sound barrier.

Canelo vs Cotto will sell more than any Mayweather fight on the same day, unless it is Mayweather vs Manny. lets not forget that most of PPVs Mayeather sold were against Mexican fighters, Floyd would lose lots of money having to split PPV buyers with the top Mexican fighter.

This is one more reason Floyd should fight Manny next.

Canelo vs. Cotto is not moving from their May date. Floyd is the one who will have to move his date unless he fights Pacquiao. Canelo will now be fighting on HBO and the reason why he moved to HBO is because he was tired of letting Floyd take all the main dates.

Cotto is the A Side. May not June.

Why would anyone think Canelo would be the A Side in this fight� Cotto has fought on more ppv's, he is the true middleweight champ (beating Sergio), the day he normally fights on is in June (Puerto Rican Day Parade). Not to mention they are demanding 50/50 & locations of Vegas or Texas. Canelo has in his favor better numbers vs Floyd. That won't be enough to get Cotto to concede so many perks, not to mention the A side. Canelo will have to give up a lot for this fight to happen. Which also might mean saying by to May 2nd.

Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De La Hoya will be meeting with Top Rank CEO Bob Arum in the next couple of days to hopefully finalize a fight between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto. They have already started the discussions, which appear to be going well.

Man, Oscar hates Floyd so much. Not sure if it's funny or sad.
