Why has Cotto stayed with Arum?

Because he's puerto rican. :twak:OK, can you please explain what that has to do with it?????????? Now, I think Bob gave him a nice chunk on money when he found out GBP wanted Cotto. The money made Cotto stay just like the money made Cotto fight Pac at 145...

that's what it seems like their problem with arum. if cotto had won those fights , they'd have no complaints. are you ESL? do you need me to say it espanitch ese? Its not that he won or lost its how he is treated so you are telling me that your boss can throw you under the bus and treat u like a step child as long as you are paid? WOW

Cause his contract.

Margarito was put in as an opponent to polish Cotto up for De La Hoya. The De La Hoya fight was all but done. Cotto lost and De La Hoya took Pacquiao instead Thats why I love this shit! You all educate me on the sweet science! I know a lot about boxing but compared to some of you all Im an amature thanks guys!

Margarito was put in as an opponent to polish Cotto up for De La Hoya. The De La Hoya fight was all but done. Cotto lost and De La Hoya took Pacquiao instead exactly... cotto was supposed to beat margo. cotto was the favorite going into that fight.

Arum has thrown him under the bus several times and disrespected him. He did it with Margs and then with Pac. Putting them ahead of Cotto. Why didnt Cotto ever try and buy out his contract or let it expire and sign with someone else? Any thoughts? cause ricans are gullible? just kidding ricans. respect. c'mon man... cotto wanted to fight pac, so arum gave him the pac fight. arum helped make him the superstar that he is. when arum defended margo, he was just protecting his investment, he wasn't trying to disrespect cotto.

No one is saying that Arum didnt make him money We are talking about how he has treated Cotto If Arum was a real promoter he would tell manny and his camp no catchweight its at 147 (Iknow this is more of a Manager/trainer deal but he could have stepped in) He would have handled the Margarito thing better He has chosen Margs and Packy over Cotto several times that is what Im asking Im not saying that I am right or wrong Margarito was put in as an opponent to polish Cotto up for De La Hoya.

because he lost to margarito and pacquiao?

I just find it hard to believe that he would stay with him after the way Arum has treated him. I bet he regrets staying with him. If he would have signed with GBP he would have been a little more protected and not the sacrifical lamb that Arum uses him as. He made good change with Pac but he could have still had that fight down the road and probably a mayweather fight and a mosley rematch that right there would be about 30 mil for him if not more Cotto is a man and will take on anyone. That is also a problem that he likes to be man in the training camp. Boxers need a person to listen to in training

because he lost to margarito and pacquiao? So it's Arum's fault he lost those fights?

Why wpould he leave Arum?

Yuri is a good fighter, he is going to pull off the mild upset which is going to make me sad. Yuri hasn't made the kind of money Cotto or Pacquiao has and he is very hungry and I believe he is underrated in talent. He is not easy to hit cleanly. Who would choose Yuri as a comeback fight? It's insane! Sure Yuri hasn't fought the opposition of what Cotto has, but Yuri is clearly a talented boxer!

Do you have any idea what Cotto makes in his minimums? Bad to Cotto? I wish someone treated me that bad. Cotto has headlined at least half a dozen pay-per-views for them. Receives millions per fight. Makes a huge payday for Pacquiao and after he took a monster beating, they bring him back to headline a history making event with the first boxing card in Yankee Stadium show in over 33 years. True but he could have done that with other promoters too. I think Cotto needs a couple tune ups with his new trainer and then you throw him out there. Im honored that you of all people would actually respond to this thread whether I agree with you or not. Out of all the Bull Sh threads and you choose mine hahaah

In all honesty look at the way GBP exploited Marquez by letting him fight Mayweather. Exploited Marquez not I know it was a mismatch but Marquez almost made more money from Mayweather not making weight alone. Marquez got his biggest payday and is about to headline a payperview in July, Id say not bad for just losing to Mayweather.

Obviously Cotto is an idiot, that is the only reasoning. P.S. I'm shocked at the anti-semetism. LOL

In all honesty look at the way GBP exploited Marquez by letting him fight Mayweather. True but I think it had more to do with lets give JMM one last big money fight and lets stick it to Pac for not signing with us they have pretty much protected most of their fighters a little too much I think

Miguel is a fukkin puppet who's hungry for money. That's the reason why. And that comes from his number 1 fan. I like Cotto too, he is one of my favorites. Though, its kind of clear that Bob Arum is setting him up. Isn't Yuri one of Bob Arums fighters too? Not only is Yuri one of Bob Arum's fighters but he is technically one of his brothers too in a way. Did Cotto ask for this Yuri fight or did Bob Arum recommend it to Cotto? Thats the real question I'd like to know.

he resigned with arum to get the pacquiao fight this was right after cotto expressed his unhappiness with arum defending margarito after the plaster stuff
