Ditto for Berto, whom Arum says wanted $1.85 million of the $3 million HBO offered for the fight.

WTF? The dude can't draw ****.
the difference between the two is that Cotto fought Clottey, Margarito, Shane and Pacquaio while berto has fought bums, bums and more bums. At least cotto is not scared to step up to the competition unlike Berto ***** ass.
ok so that means cotto gets a pass and we must be ok with it??? smh...
uhhh its in the same article
thanks.....now its official, martinez is a douchebag who thinks he is the sh1t, when in fact he only has one good year, what a fukken dip sh1t!

Sorry Dempsey that reply was for Iceta Lives.
it has nothing to do with berto. stop defending cotto like a little b itch. i think berto's being a little ***** too fighting ortiz. but one fighter fighting a **** fight doesnt excuse another fighter for fighting a **** fight. use your own brain, man.

Berto will get his ass whooped by Cotto on any day if the week. He deserve anything more than Cotto as far as purse, this fukin guy only looks good bc he fights bums and past prime bums. Cotto will fight Sergio later this yr so Iceta u can't sat Cotto should've fought this and that guy but didn't, I'm new here and u already notice you hate on Cotto WTF is it problem? Are you onebif those stupid Mexicans? I'm Italian but I love Cotto and Marquez too but there's some dumb Ricans and dumb Mexicans out there and I think you're one of them. He will fight Sergio eventually.
You guys dissin Berto keep forgetting something that Dan Rafael said months ago. He said the Berto problem is HBO themselves fought because they overpaid him initally. That means when fights like Mosley came along, Berto ended up not taking them because he wouldve ended up making the xame or even less fighting Mosley then he did fighting guys like Quintana.
I bet its the same thing with Cotto. You guys are dissin Berto but he has to ask for a certain amount because if he doesnt then he's actually coming off worst for fighting big names then he did fighting average guys
Martinez wanted 1.5 to 2 million to fight Cotto. How can anyone blame Arum or Cotto for those fights not happening?
where's your link with that claim?...........if true, what a douchebag martinez really is.........
u guys actually think its the money that kept this fight from being made??? smh...cotto is fighting ****ing ricardo mayorga!!! thats all ill say.
This is what i have been saying. its not money thats the problem
Berto is a ****ing bum!! He will be shown up for the fraud he is!!!! He shouldnt even mutter Cotto's name. Berto isnt fit to carry Cotto's spit bucket. Imagine a prime cotto after the mosley fight vs berto lol Cotto would punish and put a severe beating on Cotto. Hell a young inexperienced cotto put a better performance against a younger frehser quitana than berto's grab and hold job.
a tne up and who is berto fighting? a jww
it has nothing to do with berto. stop defending cotto like a little b itch. i think berto's being a little ***** too fighting ortiz. but one fighter fighting a **** fight doesnt excuse another fighter for fighting a **** fight. use your own brain, man.
Hey you know promoters take their shares too right?
promoters take their share from the amount the fighter gets. the fighters essentially pays the promoter, and hbo pays the fighters. see how it goes??? smh...u guys need to learn the game and stop making baseless claims.
:lol1:
Seriously Cotto should get 2.5million from that 3 million.
Who the hell pays to watch Andre Berto?
exactly bro,Nobody gives a shlt about berta.Hell even saul alvarez is a
bigger draw then berta.Fck even mike jones.
Was it? Lou DiBella, who promotes Martinez and Berto, doesn't think so. DiBella says Martinez would have taken a Cotto fight for similar money that he is getting to face Sergei Dzinziruk ($1.5 and $2 million). As for Berto, DiBella says the $1.85 million he asked for was for a total package that including site fees, sponsorship and foreign revenue he estimated to be worth in excess of $5 million.
STFU! the warrior myth has been proved false! cotto is a fraud like his daddy pacq! top rank is the WWE of boxing.
Haymon and HBO created this overpriced monster. That's what happens when you pay a guy $1+ million dollars to fight journeymen, he begins to think the world owes him something even though he hasn't proven sh*t in boxing. Another inexplicable blunder by the geniuses at HBO :nonono:
