Miguel Cotto's legal adviser denies that any discussions have taken place for a fight with WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez. Last week, several interviews were conducted with Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, who said that he would like to stage a fight between Cotto and Martinez on June 7th at MetLife Stadium New York. The fight would be tied in with the Puerto Rican Day Parade. Cotto (38-4, 31KOs) returned on October 5th in Orlando and scored a three round knockout of junior middleweight contender Delvin Rodriguez.
"There have been no negotiations. Yes, I have seen these statements from Bob. Rather, they demonstrate that they have interest, but we have yet to sit down to discuss [this fight]. Let's wait a little longer before discussing the possible options for Miguel. Things are still very recent [since his last fight]. We can say that we are [in the mix for] big fights," said Gaby Peñagarícano to Carlos Narvaez.
