    No idea but I feel that Cotto signed with them because they allowed him to do whatever he wants and paid him well

    They are doing this to get started and have some established names under their banner

    Actually if he can use Cotto's name for his promotion to be looked at as a serious option then it counts for a lot. I wouldn't doubt he'd happy to just break even with the Cotto deal, mission would still be accomplished.

    What three fights do you think would lead to ROC Nation at least breaking even.
    What 3 doable fights? :huh

    Well, after the debacle that is Floyd-Pac (boring Floyd UD) people will be starving for a real fight. And after the $100 fight door is open, Cotto Canelo at $80 a pop will look like a steal and the redemption boxing needs, fight sells a mil, and just about all of of it or more is recouped right then, if Cotto wins, Roc nation just broke onto the scene big time...they're gambling, but many times that what it takes, and he's got the money soooo...

    I don't know man. Cotto-Canelo I and II would do some pretty big numbers...assuming they both win their next fights, and look good doing so.

    People will definitely still buy that fight.

    Canelo vs Cotto without a title involved is still a good fight though. Better than many title fights.

    Cotto vs Canelo has the mexican vs PR thing going for it

    Furthermore, its a great matchup

    Just because you don't understand that rivalry doesn't make them sheep :patsch

    If he is matched with GGG, as he should be, there won't be a need for a second and third fight.

    Probably not

    No real shame in that

    Have you seen pictures of them standing together?

    Golovkin dwarfs Cotto

    He'll get stripped of his title if he doesn't fight Golovkin which should definitely happen but Cotto doesn't owe Golovkin anything really

    He's done more than enough for the sport

    Either step up or move over Miguel. You've been a warrior but if you won't fight GGG you need to vacate.

    That would be the right thing to do but I'd hardly hold it against him to hold on to it as long as he can

    Its the organization's job to strip him if he isn't fighting the guy they want him to

    I don't think its a black mark on his legacy

    No one is gonna look back at Cottos career and note these things and knock him for it

    but I do agree that if he does keep the belt then he should defend against MWs
