Miguel Cotto vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa close to happening?

Multiple sources are reporting that Yuriorkis Gamboa is very close to signing a deal to face Miguel Cotto.


Yes, you heard that right - the same Yuriorkis Gamboa that lost to Terence Crawford.  The same Yuriorkis Gamboa that typically fights at junior lightweight.  Miguel Cotto fights around 155.  

Apparently, Gamboa and his camp are very excited about the potential fight with Cotto.  I'm glad they're excited because I don't think anyone else will be.  It is being said that Gamboa will agree to fight Cotto at a 150 pound catchweight.  

Roc Nation has not been available for comment.  

I can't imagine this fight would be on HBO PPV, but then again, I wouldn't be shocked.
