Why did Margarito have to give up his belt to fight Cotto?

And Arum had no problem with this since he figured he would transfer the title from one of his fighters to another, keeping everyone in his promotion happy. You called it homey.

Cintron never fought the mandatory challenger which was Clottey. By the time Marg won that belt, Clottey was overdue for his shot. Marg had to fight him or ditch the belt, just like he had to fight Williams or ditch his belt to get Cotto last year.
