The manager of former champion Antonio Margarito, Sergio Diaz, is sure tha a rematch with Miguel Cotto will happen if the right money is on the table. Cotto suffered his lone career loss to Margarito last July. Margarito had his license revoked in February by the California State Athletic Commission after inserts with a plaster-like substance were discovered in his handwraps around 30 minutes prior to the bout with Shane Mosley on Jabnuary 24.
Diaz says his team is making moves to get Margarito his license back. Margarito will be able to apply for a new license in January and he is expected to return in March. A few weeks ago Cotto told the Puerto Rican press that Margarito will never make another penny off of him. Diaz thinks it can still happen
"We're taking steps to getting our license back. I know Cotto says Antonio won't make another penny off [him], but if he's offered a lot of pennies to take the fight, I think he will," Diaz said to The Los Angeles Times.
Bob Arum, who promotes both Cotto and Margarito, told the paper that a rematch is something that all the fans want to see.
"The fight everyone would want to see is a Cotto-Margarito rematch," Arum said.
