Bob Arum - Margarito vs Cotto

Because he saw more money on a fight between Margarito vs Cotto. Arum has always put 2 stars on the same card in "tuneup fights" to build up the hype for the fight(it didn't need the hype for this fight). If Arum thought that Margarito wasn't that good, he would've never put him in against Cintron. Cintron was a very dangerous opponent, but Arum felt confident in Margarito's ability to win and set up a mega fight with Cotto. Margarito beaten Cintron before. Margarito could easily fight guy who stay in front of him. margarito isn't that good and overrated. yeah, people are now going to vote Margarito for President forget McCain and Obama, Margarito is the new Arnold. He is good but no as how people put it so.

I think part of this fight happen is due to more to hype Cotto. Margarito have been hyped by Arum alot and now he is trying to cash out from him due to against Paul Williams. If Margarito won against William I dont think the Cotto fight would have happen. But now Arum is going to make Cotto look good with a good opponent like Margarito. Then after that Margarito loss and gets a big payday, people wont hear much of him enless if Margarito changes promoter to Don King or something like that. Maybe will hear about him. But Arum wont risk to loss Cotto's zero no matter what because then he is lossing alot of money. Cotto bring the table more money than Margarito and if Cotto is going to loss then Arum is going lose quit abit because Cotto is very famous in Puerto Rico. so in other words Margarito is thrown to the dogs. margarito isn't that good and overrated.

well it nothing personally only business. gaining profit. Why didnt Arum try to make Paul Williams vs Margarito rematch? Because he saw more money on a fight between Margarito vs Cotto. Arum has always put 2 stars on the same card in "tuneup fights" to build up the hype for the fight(it didn't need the hype for this fight).

Cintron was a very dangerous opponent, but Arum felt confident in Margarito's ability to win and set up a mega fight with Cotto.

Judah said those low blows really hurt him and his punches per round decreased. Judah without being low blowed would have fought the whole 12 rounds, Cotto is a cheat In round 7 Judah hurt Cotto and as always he(Cotto) found a way to recover. Was the low blow from round 3 was still afecting Judah to hurt Cotto in the 7 and not finish the job.?

Man, talk about reaching... well it nothing personally only business. gaining profit. Why didnt Arum try to make Paul Williams vs Margarito rematch?

man you are so biased its disgusting. biase?!?! I not Mexican not Puerto Rican. bias on what? Margarito is a type of fight that is going to be exposed, he got so many flaws and too dependent on power and chin. Cotto on the other hand have been performing pretty well.

No one is being feed to the wolves..........its two belt holders (well margarito vacated his so that he could fight Cotto) going at each other. This is what boxers should do.

I think Williams will vacate the belt if he fights Pavlik and realize he can't make 147 no more, hence leaving Mosley open to probably getting it in a vacated match. If Mosley were to do that, then a Cotto rematch will happen, without a belt I don't think a rematch happens. But I hope Clottey wins and fights Cotto next to unify. I would like to see Cotto become undisputed before he's done.

Magrarito has done Gatoraide comercials so he was a background actor of Gatorade soo he doesnt generate much money like Cotto does. As business man I thinking I build Margarito by hypen him and now I going to cash him out by putting one of my own fighters to beat him that is young, unbeaten and consider a second coming of Jesus Christ in Puerto Rico which is more of boxing oriented fans that Mexico due to the fact Mexico go many other sports. Few years back many casual boxing fans never heard of Margarito. Then his hype came when Arum claimed that Mayweather ducked him. now after Mayweather left Arum so putting this hype with the name of Mayweather is good. Mayweather is a p4p fight and it generated attention.

Whats funny is it all depends on who your perspective.....Addison came to the EXACT OPPOSITE conclusion. Addison has 1-2 threads about how Cotto is thrown to the wolves and Arum is cashing out on him.

:slap: Its funny to see how little some of you know about boxing.. well in business terms it looks okay Cotto made comercail with Ford but Margarito is barely know to the general public

I never thought low blows effect you in the later rounds, the pain usually goes away in a matter of minutes. Zab is probably talking shit, what fight against good opposition hasn't made him fade. A fight with Clottey is better, because I have a strong feeling Zab might not get past Clottey.

There is always Judah - Cotto rematch if he beats Joshua clottey Judah said those low blows affected him and also Mosley rematch it was a close fight Judah has yet to do good once he stepped up the level of opponents. And I think Mosley may be getting a little too old to keep trying to make shots at the very top guys. If Cotto wins this which I think he will, it will be probably DLH or Williams next. And I really doubt DLH wants any of Cotto. So it will probably be williams.

Cotto not risking his 0? He has not ducked anyone. He said "I fight anybody" and so far that has been the truth. Floyd is out of the picture right now. After margarito the only person he can really fight is williams who may be moving up to MW for pavlik. Cotto has almost ran out of opposition to be honest. You could say Berto, but I really dont think Berto is ready for Cotto. And Cotto is too small to move up to Jr. MW IMO.
