Comments Thread For: Cotto, Canelo Negotiations Still Ongoing For May 2nd

But why wait to see if Mayweather/Pacquiao gets signed?

You could sign this fight already and make plans for May 2nd. If Mayweather/Pacquiao actually gets made, (which lets be honest there is no guarantee that it will happen) then you move the date to June.

Why wait for a fight [Mayweather/Pac] that might never be made? Why hurt your promotion and training schedule waiting on another fight?

That's what I've been saying, make the fight and determine the date after PAC may implodes. The date is insignificant when it comes to negotiations of the fight.

I think GBP have the reservation of MGM on May 2nd and Canelo/Cotto is already signed. However, if Floyd would really want to fight with Pacquiao that date, he can make a payoff arrangement with Oscar, then Oscar can move the Canelo/Cotto fight in some other date. That's how the business work.

Well since you know so many intricate details of the business side of boxing, why don't you reach out to cotto and spread your knowledge man! He must be new to the game and doesn't know what you know. Lol people love to downgrade bob arum yet he commands an army with the best fighters in the business and they all keep doing business with him so its obvious he pays his fighters generously, otherwise superstars like pacquiao, Marquez, cotto, Tim Bradley, Mikey Garcia, ECT ect wouldn't continue to deal with him for years and years. Its fighters who just want easy fights for less money that sign with haymon. But haymon doesn't have any real superstars besides mayweather. After he retires who takes over? Broker? Garcia? Lmao give me a break the best fighters are with top rank

You know 3 out of the 5 fighters you mentioned all sued to get outta that deal with the devil, including Pac

Now with your extensive knowledge of the business, tell me what you know???

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised of that were his true intentions. He doesn't want to fight pacquiao, hes probably being forced by moonves due to low numbers. Moonves could kick haymon off ShowTime like HBO did and he probably will especially having those garbage fights and then he goes and finally gives good fights in NBC. That is a huge embarassmeng to ShowTime, they should have followed HBO lead and gave haymon the boot a long time ago. If mayweather ducks pacquiao and fights cotto there is going to be huge backlash and nobody will watch it, there will be a huge Floydcitt. Even floyds most ardent supporter Stephen a smith has been basically saying mayweather needs the fight to have any bit of credibility whatsoever and its true. Mayweather needs the fight, ShowTime needs it, and most importantly boxing needs it because it will give it a much needed boost. Boxing used to be the second most popular sport after baseball back in the day, now its marginalized by the mainstream. Its probably less popular than tennis and golf right about now. A pacquiao mayweather fight could be the start of a popularity surge

This dude over here waiting for that Cotto/delvin rematch
