you are missing the point. the fight will happen. its not as big potentially as it can be. no where near. on a small scale, Alexander and Bradley couldve fought each other years ago. people were saying Bradley was ducking. Bradley was like, that fight is not big enough yet, but we will fight. on a larger scale, you mentioned Hatton, who couldve fought Tszyu much sooner....they fought when the fight was at its apex. I think this fight has more probability than FMJ vs Manny ever did.

Thank you

Canelo hasn't even proved he's on Cott'os level drawing wise, so even if the fight theoretically took place now, what would the split be being that Canelo is an unproven ppv commodity.

GB has to see Canelo's worth first, and then the ball could start rolling, by then Canelo will be fully fluent in English to help promote the fight further..........

Id bet my house they will just not in Sept

Keep hope alive

If Floydies truly the best fighter in the game 154 should be no problem...

And why cant Floyd fight him at 150??

Floyd aint fighting Canelo breh

Well, has Canelo agreed to meet halfway?

If he does, Floyd will get the same critics who will say he forced Canelo to come down.

Rigo called out Mares. Mares said he'll go down, no problem. Why not come to 147 to fight the highest paid athlete in sports for much higher stakes? Because Mares gotta earn his like a G. Canelo having shyt given to him. Team Canelo and GBP seems to think they have some leverage. Thats the difference here. Because he is making million dollar purses he doesnt have to jump at the opportunity to face Floyd...an opportunity guys like Lara would kill for. I dont buy that the fight wants to be made by either side....just hype to promote the fight for when it will rightfully take place anyway.....MAY 2014!

Canelo brings a whole different fan base behind him, the ones who order PPV's, not to mention he's undefeated like Mayweather and hasnt been throughout his career by bums like some people


Not to mention Canelo will have Pacquaio fans dikkriding and on his bandwagon like yourself

After Floyd went on and on about how great he was for fighting Cotto @ 154 rather than a catchweight, he's gonna ask Canelo to come down

I honestly don't care too mcuh but that shyt is a backtrack no matter how you slice it

Robert Guerrero Firearm Possession Charges Dismissed

Early today, Six-Time and Four-Division World Champion Robert Guerrero appeared in New York State Supreme Court for Queens County where all firearm possession charges were dismissed in connection with his March 28 arrest at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. Guerrero pled guilty to disorderly conduct, a violation and not a crime, was fined $250 and ordered to complete 50 hours of community service which he will be allowed to perform in his home state of California.

Guerrero was arrested on March 28 when checking in his luggage at JFK while returning to training camp in Las Vegas following a press tour in connection with his May 4 fight against Floyd Mayweather. As he was checking in, he made sure to advise authorities that they needed to be aware that he had a firearm, which was unloaded and in a locked safe box within his luggage which was to be checked. Guerrero was carrying no ammunition and was within his legal right to possess such firearm in the state in which he resides.

“I’m pleased that the District Attorney’s Office considered my case carefully and resolved it fairly,” said Guerrero. “I never intended to violate New York law, but I know that ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Lesson learned. I’m happy this incident is behind me and looking forward to returning to the ring as well as serving my community as ordered by the court.”

So Canelo adding 20 pounds on overnight is ok? Floyd being at 148 and Canelo at 171 sound fair?

goddamn Skip, me and u are clicking today....:mike:

THIS is the modus operandi. You take out as many big draws as you can, making your way to the "BIG CAHUNA". Its like absorbing power. The saying "just because you beat Tiger Woods doesnt make you Tiger Woods" isnt 100% true. It gives you a piece of his marketability and give you a name.

Where am I going with this?

DLH was the biggest draw for years. Mosley toiled in obscurity until he got his shot, then he became known. Forrest wouldve never had a million dollar payday had Mosley not given him his shot. Likewise with Winky. Its piggybacking of one who piggybacked off another.

Floyd did the same thing with Oscar.

The fortunate situation that Canelo is in is that he has another big draw he can use to elevate his popularity. His name is Cotto.

Canelo can fight Floyd in Sept and make about $10 mil. or He can fight Cotto and get the same thing then fight Floyd for at least twice that much.

I am not seeing how yall dont see this. With Cotto, Canelo gets a big purse and PPV split, the latter of which he wont get for Floyd. Even though he may not get PPV split with Floyd in May, the fight is worth twice as much in guaranteed purse to Canelo than what he would then HAVE made with Cotto.

So....do you cash out for $10 mil or go two fights for a potential $30 mil. $30 mil in two fights would be phenomenal for a guy who has done nothing but beat up on welterweights and only has to get past a long in the tooth small JMW in Cotto.

If he loses to Cotto in Sept on his own damn PPV card he wouldve made the same damn thing than if he had fought :moneymay: on a card that he wont get PPV revenue in.

Honestly...he can fight Floyd for 10 milly, and then fight Cotto for 10 milly too, maybe a little more. I just don't see Floyd giving him TWICE that bread up front fam, when as a pay per view he isn't proven at ALL. Maybe with back end but I can't see 20 million, And I agrre with you often....right down to the hilarious avi

So Floyd can'tadd a rehydration clause in the contract?

Canelo brings a whole different fan base behind him, the ones who order PPV's, not to mention he's undefeated like Mayweather and hasnt been throughout his career by bums like some people


Not to mention Canelo will have Pacquaio fans dikkriding and on his bandwagon like yourself

Even with all the L's and KO's
Mayweather/Canelo would be a fraction of What Mayweather/Pac coulda a been...
