Comments Thread For: Canelo Says He Will Be 100% For The May 2 Date

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mexican star Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 31KOs) is focused on fighting on the Cinco De Mayo date of May 2nd and says he will be 100% healthy by the time the fight comes around. Canelo was initially set to return this Saturday night against Joshua Clottey, but he withdrew from the contest with an ankle injury.

Serious negotiations are taking place for Canelo to face WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs) on the May date. He plans to start training in the next few weeks once the rehabilitation is complete.

So glad Clottey the Potty isn't getting a shot. What a bore fest that asswipe put in vs Pac. Canelo is chasing Floyd away from PPV dates as punishment for ducking Pacquiao. C'mon Floyd... #NoMoreExcuses #FightPacquiao

I don't know about the coward part. I hate to call any boxer a coward but you are right, Canelo is being a breath of fresh air and I am loving his attitude right now. While everyone else is busy sucking up to Floyd, Canelo is basically telling the best excuses ever to man and fight Manny or fcuk off. We all know only Manny or Cotto are the only two viable options for him to stay on that May date. What you gonna do Floyd? You 've been mighty quiet.

Canelo is really adamant about going May 2nd.

If the cable distributor have to choose between Money and Canelo...they will go with a proven commodity


Canelo last two PPV buys -

300,000 - El Perro
350,000 - El Oro de Guantanamo

Money last two PPV buys -

925,000 - Chino II
900,000 - Chino I


The Golden Boy must really hate Money if he willing to sacrifice a proven PPV draw over some who doesn't even crack 500,000 buys.

Even when Money fought the Ghost, that fight did 825,000....still over 500.000

Canelo need to choose another date..why start a fight.
