De La Hoya: Cottos Deadline Passed, Canelo Moving On Canelo is obviously fighting on May 2nd, hes firm on that. The fight he wanted is Cotto, because thats a fan friendly fight and he wants it for the fans. All of our terms are dealt with. We agreed to everything. Canelo bent over backwards to try to make this fight. There is a deadline and that deadline has passed. Since now that they didnt take the offer, and a very handsome offer - we therefore - Canelo and Golden Boy - were going to move on, De La Hoya told BoxingScene. Canelo gave me a deadline of last night and that deadline passed. No, the deadline passed. [Cottos team] will never see whatever he wanted. He will never see that number again. Canelo gave him everything they wanted. If were going to make a future deal down the line, in the future this year or next year - I guarantee that its going to be on Canelos terms, De La Hoya said. We have to figure that out. Canelo is stuck on May 2nd. There are several options for him. Were going to sit down with HBO. We have some calls to place after were finished talking and we are going to strategize, De La Hoya said. Gaby Penagaricano, Cottos adviser, confirmed the information to BoxingScene. We did not reach an agreement. Spoke to Oscar last night and he said that he needed to move on. We have no problem with that and respect it, Penagaricano said.
