Please Lock.

canelo, his trainers, jesse James leija, kirkland, 50 cent, de la hoya and the only local fighter I saw was Rocky juarez
 
I Would've liked to get leija and rocky. I bought ringside tickets I'll try my luck there
 
At first I was puzzled by the Roc Nation move. But having just lost their deal with Shaw, I'm thinking this is more of a partnership with Cotto the promoter and not as much the fighter?

Attract young PR/Latino fighters. Continue the yearly cards at MSG in June. Etc. Etc.
 
"He has to wait like anybody else," Cotto told ESPN.com. "He can do what ever he wants. My career does not depend on Gennady Golovkin." 

But is Cotto interested in such a fight? 

"We don't know yet," he said. "Everything I do will be the best for me. That is what I will do. If that is fighting Gennady Golovkin, I will do it. If not, he can take the middleweight title. He can take it."

Under WBC rules, a fighter is supposed to defend his title against a mandatory challenger at least once a year.

So that means they are stripped of the title?


Yes. From WBC rules I've read once you win the belt, you have to fight your mandatory. If you fight anyone else you lose it or if you're inactive you will also lose it.
 
FWIW about Cotto/RocNation.

Nice story about Cotto joining Roc Nation. The only thing is Jay Z and Haymon won't work together, and the deal is bound to piss Arum off, so the obvious question is what does this deal do to the list of possible opponents?

It slims them down for sure. That said, Todd duBoef of Top Rank told me wouldn't automatically decline to have one of his guys fight Cotto. But forget about any Haymon fighters at this point fighting Miguel. I think Cotto will fight K9 Bundrage (who is a free agent) in June and then Roc Nation will look to make the Canelo fight in the fall if Canelo beats Kirkland.
