So you dont think Roc discussed this fight with Cotto before they signed him ? it will be the Second question they ask after "if the money is right will you fight Canelo" , dont be naive this signing cannot backfire on cotto because they already agreed on the acceptable fights in the near future , its not like they are togther for ages , its a new contract and i bet Cotto told them "Yes for canelo , no for GGG and its just because i have to pick 1"
Canelo is TIED up til at LEAST Sept. Maybe October if the MEXICAN sate coincides with Floyd vs Pac 2. Canelo vs Cotto is a NOGO UNLESS they agree to play second fiddle to Floyd/Pac2. Also, Oscar has plenty of other options for Canelo. He can still fight at LMW, and there's plenty of MW options for him as well as SMW options. Canelo's growing physically still, and he'll be a LHW before it's all said and done. The Cotto v Canelo fight is almost a mute point. :-(
it already has backfired on cotto way before roc nation.cotto is looking like a coward and is becoming irrelevant while ggg's name keeps rising and all the fans and experts have ggg as the best middleweight in the world.:deal
More money for future fights. They obviously offered him a better deal hence the comment about "crumbs".
How would you know and why would you care anyway? Cotto has been involved in boxing for a long time, he probably knows what he's doing better than you do.
And Todd Debouf or what ever his name is said they offered 10.5 to fight Canelo and he never bothered to return their calls ..10.5 mil is hardley crumbs
mikey garcia wanted to leave tr when they asked him to fight gamboa. shevez jr. refused to fight when top rank offered him ggg for 7.5mil with an option to get 10mil for his next fight after that should he win or 5 mil if he loses. now he's fighting fonfara cotto...other than floyd, tr got him all the big fights and paid him well. don't understand why he ducked canelo...PTSD against mexicans perhaps. rigo....3/4 of the hbo audience, and also the paid attendance left when his agbeko fight came on. tr didn't want rigo back.
