...what a total asshole. I spotted him with his wife in the parking lot of a shopping center here, and I yelled "Champ! Mind if I take a picture witchu?" His wife smiled at me and said "Sure, sure!", but Cotto slowly turned his head and looked PISSED, like if he did NOT want to do it.
At least he did pose for the picture, bigger assholes wouldn't have done that, but he didn't even look at me, talk, smile, shake my hand, or anything. As he walked away, I said "good look against Margarito", and not only did he not say thanks, he didn't even turn back to recognize I spoke.
I had always defended him when people called him a dick, I said he just had a serious demeanor but he was a nice guy. I was completely WRONG. What a sharp contrast to Tito and Ivan Calderon, two of the nicest PEOPLE you could ever hope to meet. Cotto just lost a fan today.
Stop making excuses for these people.
Its the fans that watch their fights.
Its the fans who buy 500 dollar tickets for their fights.
Its the fans who pay 54.95 for the pay per view.
And its the fans money that goes intos the Fighters like Cottos pockets.
The fans helped buy that car, the fans helped feed those kids.
It shouldn't matter what type of day he has the least someone could do is shake the hand of someone who is help supporting their lifestyle.

Yo Yuca, check this out man, i understand how you feel, manito, but yo, Cotto was probably up since 3 or 4 in the morning, was probably thinking of going home, chillin with his kids.....and you were probably number 845,000 that asked him for an autograph that day. Don't take it personal man, when a celebrity makes it big time....one thing they can't stand is the voltures!
I talked to Floyd at the Housont press conference and he was great. He stayed and signed autographs for everyone and took time to really talk to people. He was such a nice guy. Oscar was nice, but more in a business-have to do it-way.
without boxing Tito is a millionaire. Maybe your friend just looked at him instead of going up to the man. Maybe it was Tito escaoing the constant attention. Maybe Cotto argued with this bitch beforehand and she's all smiles, meanwhile he's like "I'm going to kill this bitch"
I think he was mad he couldnt low blow her.
Thats what I think.

Well, not every celebrity is the same. I myself would get pissed off if everytime I stepped out in public, I had to stop every five minutes to take a picture with every estupido that recognizes you. Cotto is not married, he is separated. Maybe it wasnt his wife, maybe it was some girl that liked the attention. Maybe he was in a bad mood, maybe he just wanted to leave with the girl to a motel and people kept stopping him for pictures. Have you ever wanted to leave a party, and your girl spent half an hour to say goodbye to everybody? I just dont like to call anyone an asshole if I havent even met him.
I can see you are a Tito fan. Let me tell you a really sad story. A friend of mine went to a panaderia an Tito was there. He told me it was really sad, cause it looked like Tito was just sitting there all alone just waiting for people to come up to him. He was craving for attention; boxing is the only thing he had, and without it he is nothing. Thats probably why he came back from retirement. Thats sad./QUOTE]
Damn, that's sad bro.
lol well root for Margarito then. But id like to see that pic. My parents met Tito, they said he is a real nie dude, took a pic and signed us a boxing glove
I saw Cotto in a nightclub following his fight with Gomez in Atlantic City. He stopped to take pics with a few people, then went to chill out in V.I.P. He seemed pretty cool to me. Still no pic???
Because he doesn't care about the fights themselve but the business aspects of it.. he said Cotto v. Marg wasn't gonna do more then Zab v. Mayweather and I disagreed so we bet.
Yeah I just wanted to see his answer. I believe one of his so called legit questions on Cotto & why he will never be as great as Floyd had to do with Cotto's PPV numbers
.
Why would you make a bet on PPV buys.
