    I wouldn't be surprised if they both target Miguel, and if he finds a way out of the Geale fight. A shoulder injury should do the trick.

    Even if they both got a PPV slot, Canelo would get the secondary slot. That would kill the earning potential of Canelo's fight. Canelo can try to fight on regular HBO if he wants, but his licensing fee would be a lot lower. Canelo will eventually back down if Mayweather fights in September.

    There's no such thing as free HBO.

    Less viewers > less fight sponsorship > less revenue > less money from redistribution across the World

    It's bad business, and HBO are not in the business of bad business.

    Unless Mayweather find another once in a lifetime rival to fight, then Canelo pretty much owns the date.

    That's the only way I see Floyd keeping the date. Otherwise the kid owns it.

    Or, Canelo could fight GGG and it's a wrap.

    With 2 KO losses and not even a household name outside of the UK?

    Doubt it... Americans want to see Floyd lose not win... who's going to buy that?

    Canelo-Cotto might be cause for Floyd to take the rest of the year off.
