They wanted that fight for awhile. But Cotto turned it down. No way he can turned it down now
Cotto has wanted the Alvarez fight since he lost to Mayweather. He's only got a few fights left at the end of a great career and he wanted a tuneup against Trout and then Alvarez. He lost the tuneup. And he knew he was the underdog against Alvarez but would still have taken the fight if he'd beaten Trout. He's after making the most money he can before he retires.

If Alvarez's people are willing to make the Cotto fight now instead of having a Rodriguez-like confidence builder first then Cotto will happily sign up for it.
