In a very interesting bit of news, BoxingScene.com was advised that Miguel Cotto and Oscar De La Hoya have reached a deal to co-promote boxing events in Puerto Rico. Cotto and De La Hoya will unite under their promotional companies, Miguel Cotto Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions. Very interesting to some because Cotto is promoted by Golden Boy's biggest competitor, Top Rank.

"We believe that together we make a great team to create great fights for the fans and showcase the champions of tomorrow," Cotto said.

The deal will bring the "Solo Boxeo Tecate" series to Puerto Rico, and they will be televised on Telefutura. The first Cotto Promotions/Golden Boy event will air on June 4 under Cotto's Boxeo Boricua series.

"We know that the event on Friday June 4 will be a success," emphasized Cotto.

The star of the event will be the Golden Boy Promotions prospect Danny Garcia (17-0, 11 KO's) of Philadelphia. Luis' El Artesano "Cruz (13-0, 10 KO's) of Miguel Cotto Promotions, who will be measured against American Eric 'El Loco' Estrada (8-0, 3 KO's).
