GBP is ruining boxing! Schaefer says Cotto/Canelo still possible.

idk how you keep getting Mayweather out of all of this. You're trying to hype up something that isn't there to suit your case.

And the reason Arum is greedy and gets the blame is because he's the one who started it with his crappy offer of telling GBP to just hand Mares over. That's the biggest issue right there.
Then his response to Oscar after he tris to compromise is crap also.

Do you think Arum's intial demand was fair to have GBP just hand over Mares?

 

Keep using "lol".

 

I couldn't care less what either fighter makes. However, a million PPV buys for a fight which would be great is far more beneficial to boxing than what Canelo/Trout would offer.

The UFC became popular because it gave the fans the fights they wanted to see. Boxing hasn't done that in recent years. Canelo/Cotto is a fight that fans want to see, and it'd be a huge event for the sport.

For boxing to regain popularity, it has to choose fights which will make a crossover appeal rather than providing 'good' fights.

When I'm making this argument, it's almost like Cotto is a complete bum who stands no chance against Canelo. That isn't the case at all. It will be a very competitive, entertaining fight and to dismiss Cotto because he lost to Trout and Mayweather is absurd. It's not a bad fight at all and I can't believe anyone would argue it is.

 

Truth is we want this fight. It makes sense too on all sides.

- Canelo gets to fight a tough proven fighter to prepare himself for a bigger threat.
- Cotto's chance to redeem himself.
- Mexico vs. Puerto Rico - it will sell.
- Cotto coming from a brave attempt against a bigger guy which proves this warrior fights everyone.
- Show clips of the Trout fight and Cotto's best moments portraying him like a relentless attacker.
- Then show clips from the Mayweather fight.
- Have 5 experts talk about how styles make fights and this will be a very intriguing fight. Canelo's toughest challenge to prove he is ready. Many will pick Cotto to pull it off too which will make the fight that much more appealing.
- Looking at it, this is exactly the fight Canelo needs. He can't be thrown to a Mayweather type fighter until he fights a Cotto.
- And for Cotto, this is a very winnable fight and perfect situation to solidify his place in boxing history and erase the Trout fiasco.

^^ I will email all of thise points to Golden Boy in a professional essay style proposition and bombard them on Twitter with them. They're already leaning on makingit anyways. I'll deliver the final push.

 

The fight would still sell out any arena in America. Whether it's New York or Vegas, there isn't a boxing arena which wouldn't sell out very quickly.

And Cotto fans shouldn't be looking at it as a fight he can't win. He lost a good fight with Mayweather, the best ****ing fighter in the world, and then dropped a decision to a very good boxer in Trout. Canelo will come to fight and that plays right into Cotto's hands. Is it a fight he'd win? I don't know, but it'd be a great fight either way. Cotto can hurt Canelo and he can stop him. He might be past his peak but he isn't a shot fighter.

There's not a single problem with this fight. If people who don't understand boxing, like yourself, want to cry about it because Cotto has lost to on the bounce, that's fine. Real boxing fans who understand the sport will buy it and have a great time watching a good, competitive fight.

 

Cotto vs Ortiz:deal

 

Why exactly did Cotto take the fight with Trout? I assume he could of just fought Canelo instead?

 

Well this Mexican has no interest in Cotto vs Canelo. Sorry, Trout deserves the Canelo fight.

 

i normally agree with many of the things that you say but cotto is a cherry pick after losing to trout.

this will be the third time that canelo, the champion, will be fighting(attamepting to fight) the loser of a fight as opposed to the winner.

lara/williams(they suspended all three judges and everyone knew lara won that fight).

cintron/molina

trout/cotto

there is no justification for canelo to be fighting blown-up welterweight and past his prime cotto.
