    If cotto & nelo fought on cinco de Mayweather
    Mayweather would have to fight paqiuao... Or get outshined...

    Thoughts?

    Who could he fight to do better #s than cotto vs nelo?

    Seriously dude?
    Stop what who would money may have to fight in order to beat that matchup?
    Perhaps stack the under card mattysse vs garcia2 maybe but I still don't think that would put a dent in it...

    Please, don't inject reality into this. It was funnier before.

    cotto is 1-2 in his last 3 fights and his lone win he gave a guy his 7th loss. nobody wants to see the rematch, cotto had his chance and got whipped. moving on

    Cinco De Mayo is reserve for Black fighter like Floyd, Canelo and Cotto should fight on Black History Weekend.

    It's reserved for Mexicans. Floyd has to fight on Mexican holidays, because Mexicans support their fighters and blacks don't, at least when it comes to PPV, so its the smart thing to do.

    Bob Arum said Canelo's a free agent....Anyone know if this is true. Cotto is tied up with TR though, that much is sure. Any Canelo v Cotto fight would have to be a full TR production, or a shared production (which probably wont be possible).

    A touch of reality. Love Cotto, but his best days are over, maybe he will chase a title in his 4th division and Mayweather will come and steal it from him.

    It's not competing with itself it's choosing to make the fight that will sell the most. Canelo would never fight in an Floyd undercard, vis a versa. Canelo vs. Cotto > Mayweather vs ANYONE except Pacquioa, strictly because of the crowd Pac bring.

    Dong King said it best "Mayweather brings a crowd, Canelo brings a NATION. You see the point?

    Well said.

    Who could Floyd fight?
    Pacman No. I guess they could co Host a Main Event. with Money vs Khan across the pond.

    & Canelo vs Cotto in Vegas.

    THis could likely break the Record Money May / Canelo Record.

    not sure they would package it this way though.

    Maybe sell it for $80?

    Blacks are the ones mostly buying Mayweather fights.
