Floyd Mayweather should fight on 4th of July 2015 it lands on a Saturday

[JJRod]

So Floyd isn't going to fight on that weekend out of the goodness of his heart? You're an idiot plain and simple. Floyd will fight that weekend and if Canelo/Cotto do it will outdraw Floyd vs anyone not named Manny. But, it's really ****** business because moving it to June will give it no competition and make more money. It isn't anything personal against Canelo, I don't know the guy but he is literally going to duck Cotto because he would have to fight 4 weeks later and 3,000 miles away.

Also the fight only makes sense to a Mexican or Canelo fan, I'm neither. Being that I'm a Cotto fan and puerto rican, then the fight makes more sense in NY on June 9th. Taking out the bias for each fighter what are we left with?

Cotto is the better proven draw.
Cotto has been in the game longer.
Cotto is champion.

What exactly does Canelo bring to this situation to dictate any terms again? Because he's Mexican and it's Cinco de Mayo weekend? He did get to fight on that date last year and he got Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl type of a loss. If he'd won that fight no one could argue with him, your or anyone else. He didn't win so he, like you, need to rub some sand in your sensitive p*ssy and deal with it. Canelo is not in the driver's seat, Floyd is MAY DAY and if Canelo wants to stay on Floyds undercard (albeit on a different channel) all the power to him. He's just an absolute fool you're all too happy to defend.

If Floyd doesn't get the Pacquiao fight, and Canelo/Cotto gets made, Floyd will be forced to move. It's not up to him to give up the date, it's up to Showtime, and seeing how they've already lost money on Floyd, I very much doubt they'll want to compete with HBO that night. Many writers have even speculated that Floyd would either take a vacation till the fall or fight a week before the May weekend.

Canelo won't duck the fight. This is the fight he wants. Let us not forget he tried fighting Cotto in March instead of Angulo, but Cotto turned down the fight in order to fight Martinez. He has also said IF May/Pac gets made he's willing to move the date, but till then he's wanting the fight in May. How is wanting the fight on a date that would generate you more PPV buys ducking the fight to you? Because it's not on a date you like? Cause you're PR and would rather see it June 9th?
It's not about the fight date making sense to you, you pompous moron; it's about it making sense to the fighters, and May 5th makes sense because it would generate more money!

Cotto is the Champion and I agree there are certain things Canelo should concede, but let's not act like he's the bigger draw. Both fighters are big draws. Last PPV bouts drew about the same, and in their only common opponent on PPV Canelo drew 2 Million while Cotto's drew 1.5. Not to mention asking for a date that is known to generate big money is not dictating terms! It's just common sense.

If Canelo was asking for the fight to be on his birthday weekend or some ****** thing, then I would say you had a point. I would say, Canelo is being difficult to negotiate with and is looking for a way to duck the fight, but that is not what is happening. All he's asking is for a date in which both fighters would make the most money. But again your deep rooted hatred for Canelo won't allow you to see that.
Instead you're here with idiotic statements like Canelo can't dictate $h!t and Canelo is afraid to fight in NY.

floyd a coward the fireworks would probably scare him anyways.

[Rostov Papa]

The date is not as important as the opponent.

This... If Floyd won't fight Pac on another date, we know once and for all who the duck is.

[AngelOfWallSt]

I would LOVE a Independence Day PPV. Money May vs Amir Khan/ US vs England, on the day our Great Country declared its independence

[soul_survivor]

Floyd claims he is a proud American so why not fight on fourth of July independence day weekend one of the biggest weekends when it comes to families staying home to have bbq parties with friends and family or to go out to the movies.

One would think this would generate more PPV buys for Floyd. 2015 fourth of july lands on a Saturday so it would be perfect for an American boxing star to fight on that day.

Yeah and he should come out in Apollo Creed All American gear and definitely fight a Russian, is Provodnikov Russian and does he have time in his busy schedule to beat up another old man?

It really isn't an issue. DLH and Canelo both agreed that if Mayweather/Pacquiao gets made for May 2nd then Canelo would concede the date to Floyd.

However he won't concede the date for a Mayweather/Khan fight. Nothing really complicated about it. People just like to argue anything Floyd/Pacquiao related.

[Brickyardigan]

Canelo can't do a damn thing on his own. Canelo is like a 3 year old trying to push you while you're blocking the door, you feel him on you but it's irrelevant. The only time Canelo is even a threat to Floyd is if Cotto comes and help do the pushing and Cotto isn't interested.

The imagery of your words and the truth you speak man.. It's too real. Nobody cares what the A-side in the Canelo-Cotto fight has to say. Cotto has been quiet this whole time, not saying a peep. When did the B-side(Pacquiao, Canelo) started bossing around and making demands to the A-side(Cotto, Mayweather)? This is the first time in history where the B side makes ultimatums and demands to the A-side. That's total bs from a historical and logical point of view.

You aren't too smart are you? You are making A LOT of assumptions and have no clue on anything.

You're assuming May doesn't fight Manny.
You're assuming Floyd will not fight May 2nd
You're assuming the fight with Cotto gets made.
You're assuming Cotto agrees to fight in Vegas
You're assuming Cotto agrees to fight on May 2nd
You're assuming Cotto will take 50% of the money.

See all the assumptions you're making? Looking at it without Canelo's **** blocking your face, why would this fight make so much sense on that date but not another one? Because it brings in more money? Please PROVE to me that having a fight on May 2nd generates more money. Pac fought Hatton and Mosley on that date and he still generated more buys with JMM and Cotto when fights weren't on that day.

So you can say it's "best for the fighters" to fight on that day and sound like a 3 year whiny b*tch but again I'll answer it and hopefully you'll understand. It doesn't matter what date a big fight is on, it will always sell. No one, NO ONE is going to say I refuse to watch Cotto/Canelo because it's not on Cinco de Mayo. The date as someone said is like another St Patriks Day in the US. It's not a 3 day weekend, no one gets extra days off for work there is absolutely no difference in that Saturday than any other Saturday.

As for who is the better draw, all I read was Canelo did better than Cotto once, and it was the worst performance of his career. A lot of people watched him get his ass kicked and nothing more, that doesn't help your stock. Plus... if we want to look at PPV numbers... Canelo's 3 best numbers combined are 2.8 million. Cotto's best performances combined are 3.3 million... Cotto's a better draw. Need more proof? Canelo's last two numbers are Cotto's worst numbers in his entire career, so that's your proof. One good number where he needed Floyd and then a drop off of 2 million buys when Floyd left is not drawing power, that's called hype that died last Cinco de Mayo.

It's not complicated so why are you trying to make it an issue. Floyd has been on Cinco de Mayo for years now. Canelo had his chance and lost so why does he get to just take it over? It can't be because he beat Floyd, because he didn't. Do you think Canelo is a bigger draw than Floyd, is that why he gets that date? Or is it just because he's Mexican?

If he gets that date just because he's Mexican, why does he need Cotto's drawing power to bump Floyd? Canelo is the bigger draw than Cotto according to you, so he should be able to bump Floyd with just about anyone shouldn't he?

The fact is as simple as this. Your boy had a chance to take that May date over, he got absolutely embarrassed in the ring. His diva attitude can't comes to grip with the fact that he lost and that ruined getting that "day" for him. Canelo is fine fighting on Floyds undercard the rest of his career as long as he fights in May, it seems to be all he cares about.
