This I do know! Been watching boxing long enough through it's ups and downs and MOST of the time when we have a fight such as Cotto vs
Canelo where it's really close to call just go with the A-side. Cotto-$30million....Canelo-$10million...then even Cotto carried himself like he really
was the A-side in the 1st official presser I saw no fear from Cotto whatsoever carried himself like the legend he is. Cotto win decisive UD.
Canelo will be star struck MARK MY WORDS come fight night. You watch! He did it with Floyd and trust he will do it with Cotto!!!! You watch!

Anyone that refers to Cotto as a "legend" needs to go to Boxing School before spouting out silly stuff like this.
Cotto will win the early rounds and fade down the stretch like he's done in EVERY big fight he's ever been in. And yes, he will lose like he has done in EVERY single big fight he's been in.

ODLH just said that the purse numbers being thrown around are totally inaccurate, and that while Cotto is guaranteed more money, the purses are pretty close to 50/50.
Others say that the purses are more like 55/45 in Cotto's favor.
And the $30 million number is what Cotto may earn depending on PPV sales and other factors. It's not guaranteed. The guarantee is only $10 million, with Alvarez' guarantee probably closer to $8 million.
The Mexican is far and away the bigger attraction, and it makes no sense to see him getting only 25% of what you claim Cotto will earn.
No matter who is the A side in this battle, it's pretty certain that the Mexican will leave the ring victorious on November 21.
Cotto's a fine fighter but he's no Mayweather. The younger, fresher Canelo will steamroll him on the way to a decisive decision.
