This could also be a lot of posturing by Floyd as the talks for Alvarez/Cotto started before this announcement.
Mayweather doesn't wanna a catch weight fight either. Alvarez-Cotto talks have started cuz Alvarez needs to fight. The worse thing he can do is just sit around waiting on Floyd. Based on what Mayweather has been saying it doesn't look like he's gonna fight Alvarez next. So moving to option B is the smart thing for Alvarez to do. If Mayweather were to show he was interested in fighting Alvarez next I guarantee you the talks with Cotto end.
I don't know what Mayweather wants. He's not a catch weight kind of guy and he already said he wants his first few fights at least under the new contract to be at 147. That is up to him. When I said do it at 150 w/o the gold that's what I would suggest for the impasse and not Floyds take. Cotto was at the Trout fight and the table was set. He [Alvarez] wanted Floyd to agree to fight him after Guerrero or he would not appear on the same card. Floyd has never signed to fight someone before his present fight was completed.Alvarez is in no position to demand Floyd go up whether its 154 or 151 hence the Mexican standoff that to be honest I'm not looking forward to. Its already starting to resemble the Manny/Floyd circus. If they fight great and if they don't oh well.
