Comments Thread For: Canelo Warns Mayweather: Not Moving From 5/2, 9/12!

[junior gong]

Has floyd grown a set of balls and said anything yet or is he still posting pictures of money and other peoples KO's?

Dude...that's not going to happen. Mayweather doing 250 because casuals choose Cotto-Canelo? Be serious for a sec. Yes, it's a better matchup, no casuals don't really care.

High profile celebrities go to the big fights, do you really think somebody like Mike Tyson or Jack Nicholson is gonna pick a sshiiiiy fight with Khan over a guaranteed all out war that is the 2nd biggest fight boxing could make?

Again Floyd doesn't take risks and showtime sure as hell won't be down to take that risk so I GURANTEE Floyd either has to fight manny, not fight at all until September or change his date. You guys act like people just go "OH MY GOD FFLOYDMAYWEATHER! TAKE MY MONEY!" Floyd needs an opponent to do good numbers. With a joke of an opponent plus Cotto-Canelo, Floyd will not do as good numbers and if Showtime can't get max profit off a Floyd fight I'm am 100% sure they'd rather him sit out then go against Cotto-Alvarez.

you are truly ******. color has nothing to do with it-it's just an observation regarding the demographics of the majority of US ppv purchasers. A such, they are going to be catered to.

They have proven they will continue to support Floyd fights. They haven't proven they will support Canelo or cotto-especially considering the ppv for each last year were considered disappointing by their own teams.

You can label people however you wish, at the end of the day Floyd has proven to generate large sums of money for all involved. Canelo v Cotto is a huge fight that will definitely attract people.

I will not respond to you anymore



As I said before Canelo's follow up ppv was a disappointment and didn't hold purchasers. As opposed to say floys, whose drop from the ODH fight to the Hatton fight wasn't nearly as far as Canelo's drop.



they don't drive sales then either. The demographics makeup of the US doesn't change on May 5 or September 12 weekends.

Canelo and Cotto has a very real chance of taking the date. I am aware of that and even believe dan is correct-if cotto/canelo gets made Floyd will not fight on the date.

That said, its not as easy to unseat Floyd as it would seem. I know NSB likes to pretend he doesn't generate any money but he does. It isn't as easy to make the money as posters think.

if u dont believe mexicans help contribute to floyd's ppv success. just look at all of floyd's fight against a mexican and then compare those #'s with the one against a non mexican. and dont bring up the mosley fight because thats the only one that was a success against a non mexican fighter.

like i said, mexicans dont contribute much to ppv sales, except for when their top guy is fighting another top guy. thats why if canelo vs cotto happens in may its gonna do better than floyd vs anyone not name manny.

Oh lord, now Floyd doesn't take risks on PPV battles either

Well, he sure takes "PPV risks" -- but he needs an "opponent" to sustain the risk... eventually, I mean... Who this "opponent" would be?

Yes, I do.

showtime will lose this head to head battle against hbo on those dates and they know it.

It's really not rocket science. Cotto and Canelo would take all off the Hispanic fan base while Floyd would rely on guys like Big Dunn and Brushmyhair and other diehard Floyd fans. Not to mention the lackluster fight Floyd put up against Maidana, who wants to see him fight some British guy with no chin and no power.

You guys are extremely underestimating Cotto and Alvarez or just riding Floyds ****. But you guys are usually good posters so I really hope it's the latter. Floyds never gone against other competition on the same day because he's never had a threat. I'm not even saying Floyd would back down 100% but mostly showtime who again needs Floyd to do max profit to even come close to breaking even against a lackluster opponent in the states.

If that's the case then why aren't they selling PPV's on their own? When they're not even going up against another PPV?

[bigjavi973]

we welcome the challenge. money reduced this knucklehead down to a amateur and will do the same to pacquiao. Alvarez has bad management. this is'nt mexico. this is america jack. money has a high rollers las vegas fanbase that brings in $millions. so bring it on canela alvared.loud mouth punk

Drive and contribute are two different words. do you know the difference? please don't use a word I didn't then attempt to debate that. Debate my point, do not change it and try to debate it.
