Comments Thread For: Spence Explains Turning Down Miguel Cotto Fight, Golden Boy

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Errol Spence Jr. was willing to fight Miguel Cotto. Like Mikey Garcia, though, Spence wasn't willing to sign a long-term contract with Cotto's promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, to get that high-profile fight. Spence confirmed that Golden Boy Promotions offered him an opportunity to fight Cotto on December 2 at Madison Square Garden during a press conference before a 154-pound championship tripleheader Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Spence would've KTFO Cotto in a bad way too

[The Problem Child]

Coward, smfh. Disgusting lil coward.

Good move on Spence's part. These promotor are taking a big bite out of the fighter's purses.

Golden boy is stupid..

Cotto is gone after December so you might as well cashed out and made the biggest fight possible regardless if opponent signs long term or not.,

Cotto-Ali isn't going to make much money compared to cotto vs Spence, Mikey, etc

As much criticism as Haymon gets, he looks out for his fighters (generally).

Smart move by Spence not letting himself get used by Golden Boy & Oscar.

It might be a bad move but yesterday my boy came over to watch the fights with me and had no clue who any of the fighters were. No promoter, no exposure. He might be getting he paid good money but the average fan doesn’t know who this kid is, fast money isn’t always the best money. He needs to be marketed

Golden boy is stupid

Of course it is. It's run by an alcoholic hyped all the way there throughout his career.
