By Dan Ambrose: High powered adviser Al Haymon has allegedly offered WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto $40 million to face superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr, according to The Sport Press.
This hasn’t been confirmed to be true as of yet, but if does turn out to be true then it would be a huge amount of money for the 34-year-old Cotto. With that kind of money the assumption would be that the Mayweather-Cotto 2 fight would do over 2 million pay-per-view buys, and it’s highly doubtful that it could bring in those kinds of numbers unless the fight card was totally loaded with big stars from top to bottom.
By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Jr recently made it clear to the entire boxing world that he wants to fight Manny Pacquiao next on the Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo on May 2nd. It was thought at the time that Pacquiao would gladly take the fight with Mayweather, especially given that he’s been asking for this fight for the past five years. 
By Dan Ambrose: Just as I thought – Saul “Canelo” Alvarez may have spoken too soon about taking the May 2nd Mexican holiday from Floyd Mayweather Jr. It seems that the Canelo vs. Miguel Cotto negotiations have reached an impasse, and Cotto’s management are now thinking about facing superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr on May 2nd instead of Canelo. 
By Dan Ambrose: Former WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (44-1-1, 31 KOs) has backed himself against a wall by insisting that he fight on May 2nd no matter what. Canelo is directly challenging the much more popular Floyd Mayweather Jr for the May 2nd date. 
By Dan Ambrose: WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs) has the perfect plan-B backup plan if his proposed opponent Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (44-1-1, 31 KOs) gets a little too greedy and asks for too much money or other things in their negotiations for their May 2nd fight. 
By Dan Ambrose: WBC super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell is picking WBA Super World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin to beat WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto by knockout if the two fighters end up facing each other in 2015. 
By Dan Ambrose: Former WBA junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez may not be anywhere near the popularity or the talent level of Floyd Mayweather Jr, but that’s not keeping the red-haired Canelo from budging from the May 2nd date that he plans on fighting. 
By Dan Ambrose: WBA Super World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin says he’s waiting to get a fight for the WBC 160 pound title against either Miguel Cotto or Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Golovkin is ready to fight either of those guys unless they opt to vacate the WBC title. 
By Dan Ambrose: A win for WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (31-0, 28 KOs) in his next fight against #1 WBC Martin Murray (29-1-1, 12 KOs) on February 21st will set Golovkin up as the WBC mandatory challenger to the winner of the proposed fight between WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs) and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (44-1-1, 31 KOs) on May 2nd. 
By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Jr doesn’t agree with Manny Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum that the Cinco de Mayo holiday on May 2nd should be for Mexican fighters like Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.
